i actually think she is, to be honest. her beak is in the shape of a beak, and it made her look like a parrot. she is also skinny and huge-chested. i'm surprised she didn't fall chest-first into the ground...

Spyro's the hero, that's why. He'd never give up.
Sparx is just scared of everything, so he'd give up any time.
Cynder is just a crybaby, so of course she'd give up.

Malefor is quite easy to defeat, if you are good at concentrating on what you are doing...
