Woman vs. Society
Cinder is hated by society because everyone hates cyborgs. Cinder didn't become a cyborg on purpose, her body was so badly burned it wasn't able to function. She was recovering from the fire for eight years before they made her a cyborg. People think cyborgs are dirty, brainless, and disgusting. Little do they know that Cinder will save them from Levana.
"14 cities attacked worldwide"
"2-hour murder spree results in 16,000 Earthen deaths, largest massacre in the third era."
"This was her fault."
"For months she had been cloaking those Lunar ships from Earthen detection, doing Mistress Sybil's bidding without question, like the well trained lackey she was."
"Emperor Kaito of the Eastern Commonwealth had put an end to the attacks by agreeing to marry Lunar Queen Levana."
"Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns" -UNKOWN
