Even fellow Skylanders have learned to allow an ample "buffer zone" whenever Cynder, the violet dragoness, is present. Years of serving under the Undead Dragon King, Malefor, resulted in lending an air of danger and caution. Nevertheless, after being freed from the Darkness by Spyro, Cynder has chosen to join forces with the Skylanders, and has proven to be a dedicated soldier against evil.

Adept in the use of electricity as a weapon, usually in the form of lightning, Cynder also has the ability to become invisibile other than a fleeting shadow, thoroughly befuddling any opponents. Her ability to take flight adds an extra dimension to her unique brand of mayhem.

Cynder can be menacing even in "down time," and has little or no patience for anything not related to her duties, which is to protect the Skylands from any and all antagonists.
