#im no cinder expert tho sorry this WAS supposed to be about her but now im just thinking about how fun

[skrs-cats]

it is an age old subject in general in warriors but man cinderheart was so underutilized in so many aspects or at the very least just not done well in what she could have been. Even ignoring the reincarnated from cinderpelt for a moment, just the bit about her and lion mentoring ivy and dove. people's ideas about having cinder mentor dove instead of ivy, how they couldve had some conflict w lion trying to interfere bc she was the third, how ivy could've felt more drive in feeling neglected, more drive to joining the dark forest. And even if it were in canon, I don't think I even remember if cinderheart had a major reaction to knowing that ivy trained in the df??? I dunno. I'm just thinking thoughts
