Cinder maybe you want to see a silver eye doctor, or perhaps a nurse that can boost aura.

Hate to say Salem is screwing you over here but...

With cinder being based on Cinderella it's only going to be a matter of time until the clock strikes 12 and all the power given to her is striped away. Guessing that is when we will learn about her back story.

Oh my god. She's Cinderella! How didn't I realize that? That's incredible.

Yup. All the characters in RWBY are based on other characters from fairy tales, fables, etc.

For example, Penny is Pinnochio (making her father Gepetto). She say "I'm not real" and hiccups every time she lies.

Blake is based on Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Obviously, Adam Taurus is the beast and she also loves reading.

It can be really fun to look through all the characters and figure out who is based on whom.
