Cynder

Cynder Duskshine is a dragoness Skylander of the Undead Element. She is Spyro's sister.

Cynder was corrupted and was gifted with strange abilities due to her exposure to the darkness of the Undead Element.

History
While just an egg, Cynder was stolen by the henchmen of an evil dragon named Malefor and raised to do his bidding. For years, she spread fear throughout the land until she was defeated by Spyro the Dragon in battle and freed from the grip of Malefor. But dark powers still flow through her, and despite her desire to make amends for her past, most Skylanders try to keep a safe distance just in case...

When Cynder was born, she was a Air Elemental dragon, this is shown as her egg, which was a very dark blue, resembled dark storm clouds. When she was corrupted by Malefor's dark powers, she became Undead dragon. However, she kept her Air Elemental ability to breathe electricity.

Personality
Cynder is usually very shy and quiet, and rarely ever speaks, making her one of Skylands' most mysterious Skylanders. She also usually is never afraid to speak her mind.

Due to having been raised outside of dragon influences aside from Malefor, Cynder is considered a wild child who acts more like a common animal. She hunts her own food, eats it raw, does more vocalizing than speaking, and has the tendency to stick her head into small spaces, only to find she cannot pull it out because of her horns.

While under Malefor's corruption spell, Cynder was a cruel, sadistic, and black-hearted dragon, however, there was still a tiny bit of goodness in her, and in her heart she knew what she was doing was wrong.

Appearance
Cynder is a black-scaled dragoness who has several markings on her front legs, tail, under her eyes, and on her forehead, called Brand of the Undead, which she gained when she was corrupted, the brand unleashes spirits which can help her in battle. Cynder also has a dark red-ish pink underbelly and wings, along with silver horns on the tips of her wings. She has six horns, blue eyes, and wears silver bracelets with spikes on them on her front legs, along with a silver spiked collar, along with a sharp silver blade-like tail spade. Cynder also sometimes wears a silver spiked bracelet on her tail. She wears the bracelets and collar because she believes that it will protect her from Malefor.

When she was corrupted, Cynder looked the same except she was much bigger, and had a longer tail which she could use as a whip, along with eight horns instead of six. She also wore two silver spiked bracelets on her tail instead of one.

Skylanders: Elements of Phazon
Cynder debuts in The Black Dragoness where it is revealed that Malefor's minions kidnapped her and brought her to the Land of the Livid Dead. Cynder is held prisoner in Malefor's palace as bait so that way Spyro and his friends would come to the Underworld, so that way Malefor could eat them, for some reason. Cynder escapes along with the others, and was happy to be home.

Claus and his Skylanders
Cynder is mentioned in From the Depths of DeviantART. She is first mentioned as "Dotd Cynder", where she was one of the things listed by Rayman and Portal Master Claus of an "epic crossover" as a joke. Cynder is mentioned again when Claus clicks on a picture on DeviantART, and it turns to be a flash of Spyro and Cynder kissing with loud music.

Trivia.

 * Cynder isn't Spyro's sister in canon.
 * She is often mistaked for a violet dragon, instead of a black dragon. Cynder herself finds this quite annoying.
 * Firey has a crush on her.
