Cinder

Cinder was a human who grew up on Moldox before the start of the Last Great Time War.

Biography
She was very young when the War began. When she was seven, her homestead was attacked by the Daleks, she survived by hiding whilst her family were exterminated. She was found by Coyne and spent the next several years as a Dalek-hunter with him and other survivors of the occupation on Moldox.

When she was a young woman, Cinder encountered the War Doctor, who had crashed on Moldox in his TARDIS. She helped him infiltrate a Dalek base and uncover their plans to create a Demat weapon that could wipe Gallifrey from history. The Doctor took Cinder in his TARDIS to Gallifrey to warn the Time Lords of the Dalek's plan.

On Gallifrey, Cinder met Rassilon and the High Council of Time Lords, but was told to keep quiet as they spoke. After the meeting was over, Cinder was kidnapped by Karlax and the Castellan and was mind probed to back up the Doctor's claims. After finding out about the mind probe, the Doctor took Cinder from the Capitol and took her to the Death Zone, where the two of them kidnapped Borusa from his imprisonment in the Dark Tower.

Cinder was shot by Karlax on board the Doctor's TARDIS shortly before the Doctor defeated the Time Lords and the Daleks. In honour of her death, the Doctor promised he would put an end to the War. (PROSE: Engines of War)

Appearance
Cinder had long orange hair, from which her name was derived. Her eyes were olive in colour. She was fairly muscular due to all the training and fighting in which she took part but was still thin despite that. (PROSE: Engines of War)
