[Name]: Cinderella
[Canon]: Fables (Vertigo Comics)
[Age]: Several hundred years, but looks to be in her early 20s
[Gender]: Female
[Canon Point]: Sometime before her first solo spin-off comic “From Fabletown with Love” but after her rescue of Pinocchio.

[History]: Here's a wiki! But for a little more detail:
Everyone knows the classic story of Cinderella. Orphaned girl works as servant for her wicked step mother and step sisters. Step mother and sisters go to ball, forcing girl to stay at home with only mice as company. Fairy godmother comes to girl, magics up a ball gown, glass slippers, and carriage and coachmen from a pumpkin and mice. Girl goes to ball, meets Prince Charming, has to leave a midnight, loses a slipper, carriage turns back to pumpkin. Prince finds slipper, uses it to find girl, they marry and live happily ever after.
Well, all that is true, up until the "Happily ever after" part. As it turns out, Cinderella is Prince Charming's third wife (the first being Snow White, and the second Briar Rose). He still can’t keep it in his pants and Cindy catches him with one of the servant wenches. By this time, the Adversary is starting to take over the Homelands, so Charming and Cindy escape to one of the last fortresses for Fables who want to leave the Homelands. Cindy agrees not to divorce him until they get to the Mundane World (the world where she and other Fables are known characters in stories), thus insuring that he doesn’t have to stay behind and fight.
Once in the mundane world, and she divorces from the not so charming Prince Charming, Bigby (aka the Big Bad Wolf) recruits her to act as an off the records spy for Fabletown. For the next 200 plus years she travels all over the Mundane world and protects Fabletown's interests. One of her first missions is during the French Revolution where she rescues Puss-in-Boots. She also works for the United States during the Civil War to take out Confederate spies. With Bigby, she spies against the Nazis during World War II, before the United States gets involve. During the Cold War, she has several assignments to assassinate ‘Romeo’ agents from East Germany that are planted in West Berlin. Also during the Cold War she has a rivalry with Dorothy Gale, from the Wizard of Oz fame, who is also a hired gun for the Soviet Fables. The rivalry ends for a while in the mid 80s when Cindy kicks Dorothy off a cliff to her suppose death.
In more modern times, she also works to find Fables who may betray Fabletown, such as Ichabod Crane, as well as act as an interrogator to the captured wooden soldiers after the Battle of Fabletown.
When her ex-husband won the seat for Fabletown mayor, it causes Bigby step down as sheriff, and as a result she starts to take orders from Beast, the new Sheriff of Falbetown. Her duties expand to being a diplomat to the Cloud Kingdom to help make preparations to bring down the Adversary in the Homelands.
The front for all her spy work is that she owns a women’s shoe store called The Glass Slipper Shoes. When she is not in town, which is quite often, she leaves Crispin, who is the shoe maker from the story of the Shoe maker and the elves.
Because of her status as “off the books,” very few people know that she is a spy. For a while, only Bigby, and Frau Totenkinder knew about her real career, mainly because Bigby gives out the orders and Totenkinder supplies her with what magical items she needs. Not even the mayor of Fabletown knows about her work as a spy. But over time, a few more Fables learn of her work, most of which consist of animal Fables who assist her on missions, such as Puss in Boots, and Dickory, a mouse known to run up clocks.

[Personality]:
First impressions of Cinderella are that she's a sassy, brash, shallow, loud, carefree, fashionista party girl, who has a beef against her ex-husband and lives well above her income by taking frequent trips and thus is irresponsible. Except for sassy, fashionista, and being bitter towards her ex, for the most part that isn’t true. In fact, it is mostly a cover so that no one would suspect her of being a spy. She can be a bit carefree at times, and can even be a smart ass, but when she is on a mission she is often calm, calculating, and ruthless, showing no qualms about killing a target.
She is also quite cynical, especially when someone brings up long term relationships. Since her supposed fairy tale marriage ended due to Charming being unfaithful, she no longer believes there is such a thing as happily ever after. Rather, she goes for the happy for now and the short fun flings, and doesn’t expect someone to stick around for her. This maybe why she acts like a flirt, even when she is in "spy mode."
Even when being humble, she still considers herself one of the best spies around, mainly because while most spies have just one life time to perfect their craft, she has had several.
Cindy is also fiercely loyal to Fabletown, even calling herself a patriot, and doing most of her missions without any pay. She does what she does so that other Fables would not have to do the dirty work in order to live a peaceful life. That doesn’t mean she hasn’t taken advantage when a mission sent her an exotic location. She admitted that she’d took longer to set up her cover just so she could enjoy living the high life a little.
She also enjoys the thrill that comes along with being a spy. In fact, the job has turned her into a bit of an adrenalin junky, and she especially loves to skydive.
She has a dislike for guns, mainly because it is so easy to rely on them too much. But, she does keep a stock pile of them though, as a just in case, and will use them when it is necessary.

[Abilities / Strengths & Weaknesses]:
Cinderella can’t use magic, but, like most Fables whose tale is popular in the Mundane world, she is practically immortal and that comes with a few extra bonuses. She doesn’t age, and when injured, she can quickly recover. Most fatal injures would not be enough to kill her, though they may put her out of commission for a while. Also, she has well above average stamina, and can go without sleep for a whole week, which can come in handy when she is on a mission. Another bonus for her tale being popular is that she is quite physically strong. She even flipped a large SUV by herself one time in the comic, but her strength probably doesn’t go beyond that.
She is also very skilled in hand-to-hand combat, specializing in disarming opponents and using their own weapons against them. Though she doesn’t really care for them, she is a good shot with several different kinds of guns, ranging from old fashion muskets to automatic assault rifles.
As far as weaknesses goes, she is not very good at diplomacy. She tends to lose her patience when it comes to such things. Also, her immortality, like all other Fables, has its limits. If her injuries are sever enough or if there is an enchanted weapon that can instantly take a life used against her, she will die.

[Limited Powers]:
Since Cindy's powers are really her semi-immortality, strength, and stamina, I don't see the need to limit them, since they already come with limits.

[Other Important Facts]:
Despite being a former fairy tale princess, Cindy can and will curse like a sailor.

[Voice post after just arriving]

I get taken to some strange world that looks like the set of some pirate movie, my luggage could have at least been brought along with me. [Well someone doesn't sound happy.]

Seriously, how am I expected to survive here without my Prada or Gucci? [Not to mention her extra knife and gun with ammo that are enchanted so that TSA doesn't detect them.]

On top of that, if I miss fashion week in Milan, I'm going to have to kick someone's ass into next week. [Not to mention she doesn't want to miss the window for her mission. That would cause another big mess back home.]
