It can't be possible Merlock. As I've said to someone who also thinks Cynder is purple, There is no possible way she can be purple. There cannot be two purple dragons born within the same day. As quoted from Ignitus in ANB, "A purple dragon is born only once ever ten generations."
Cynder just looks purple because of the way they colored her and the lighting of the game. She IS black.

Cynder is a black dragon. Not purple.

Cynder is not purple, she is black. >.< She was black in ANB, she will stay black in TEN and DotD. She has four powers because it would be unfair if only Spyro had more powers.

Okay people, bandicoot's, and merlocks all, I have discovered that Cynder will more than likely play a HUGE part in ending the Dark Master. But I'm not telling! smilie Okay, you all know I was kidding right? well, here it is. CYNDER IS A PURPLE DRAGON!!!! It all stands to reason. she was born in the year of the dragon, she was stuck with Spyro in the crystal, and the most important is she can breath more than one breath. Cool huh? smilie
