Cinderella

Overview

Cinderella is a 5-star Ignis character in Silver Palace. She is associated with the Fableborne, the fairy-tale-themed faction described in beta marketing, and functions both as an enemy boss encounter and a playable character. Her title is "The Vengeful Ant." She was an obtainable 5-star in both closed betas, and she is the central character of the story's first chapter.

Profile

Appearance

Cinderella has long white hair and red irises with white pupils. She wears a sun-like crown. The overall effect is regal yet dangerous, fitting the fairy tale origin that her name references.

Combat

As a playable character, Cinderella wields a flame sword and a machine gun. Her abilities center on fire-based AoE attacks with high burst damage and burning effects. She deals enhanced damage against frozen enemies, making her synergize well with Glacies (ice) teammates.

Her execution animation involves stomping enemies with a high heel, a striking example of the game's unexpectedly violent combat choreography.

Chapter 1

Cinderella is the central character of the game's first chapter, and characters built on other fairy tales are planned for the second and third. Her design quotes the source folk tale directly, most visibly in the pumpkin carriage that appears once she shifts into her battle form, and adds motifs the game supplies itself: fire, and moths in the air around her. Those additions carry the arc the character is built on, an ordinary young woman turning into something driven by revenge.

Boss Fight

A boss encounter also called Cinderella appears in the story. Published material does not state whether the boss and the playable character are the same person at a different point in the story, and the two are described with the same appearance and the same weapons. In the second closed beta build the fight ran in two phases. She opens from a pumpkin carriage pulled by two white horses in obsidian armour, attacking at range, then dismounts for direct combat with her flame sword and gun. The encounter was shown again in the August 2026 trailer.

Lore

Official descriptions call her "a lady of secrets and a most meticulous planner of vengeance. Sharp, thrifty, and observant." Her backstory states she is "burning away the last vestiges of her life for a final showdown. A fiery burst of magma long suppressed, a body as enduring as stone." The same profile adds that her identity has been a cause of her insecurity, and that she approached the Detective over a shared goal only to drift away once their goals no longer aligned.

Her in-game quote: "You got what you deserved, and I am guilty as charged... Hahaha, we're perfect for each other!"

Availability

During the Monotype Beta, Cinderella was obtainable through a 5-day sign-in event, making her one of the easier 5-star characters to acquire during the test period. The first test's reward listing places the character on Day 2 of that five-day event. She returned in the second closed beta as the featured 5-star on the limited-time Repertoire The Vengeful Ant and the limited-time Monologue Her Heart, the Flames Within, recruited with Reactor Crystals, Judgement Shots or Deduction Shots. The 5-star Motive offered alongside her on those banners, The Burning Stone Mystery, is listed with the Outlaw class label; that label sits on the Motive, not on Cinderella.

The first beta's sign-in track was reached from the game menu under City Events, listed as 5-Day Sign In, and Cinderella sat in the middle of it.
