COURAGE
ACCEPTANCE and CONNECTION
Although she knows that her life is at risk, Cinder feels the need and responsibility to protect her country and its people. One example of this is when she goes to the ball, knowing that Queen Levana is there and wants her dead, in order to prevent Kai from agreeing to marry the Queen.
Cinder lives with her horrible stepmother and her two stepsisters. Peony, the youngest, shows caring and kindness towards Cinder, but she dies from letumosis. Because Cinder is a cyborg, people dislike her and are afraid of her, even though they may not know her. Cinder longs for a connection with someone.
At least I am not going into it blindly.
You are not going to the ball. You don't belong there.
Levana plans to kill you once you are married!
