1* CompleteMonster: [[EvilMatriarch Brigit Stark]] is [[Characters/RWBYCinderFall Cinder Fall]]'s [[AbusiveParents mother]], who married Cinder's rich and depressed father Anthony [[GoldDigger to take his wealth for herself]], withholding therapy from her husband and attempting to get rid of all of their children when each was newborn in the process, all to claim the full inheritance. When a 6-year-old Cinder accidentally learns about Brigit's true colours, Brigit finds and nearly strangles her to death. Growing impatient, Brigit reveals her intentions to her husband, [[DrivenToSuicide driving him to suicide]]. Physically and mentally abusing Cinder, trying to tempt her to suicide as well and turning her siblings against her, Brigit eventually fatally poisons Sterling to keep her money. A thoroughly empty, hedonistic, and irredeemable monster beneath the façade of a beautiful and dutiful wife and mother, Brigit left psychological scars in Cinder long after her death, molding her into the monster she'd become.
2* HarsherInHindsight: This story isn't that far off from what was later revealed about Cinder in canon. Only differences are Cinder was canonically an orphan before being adopted by an EvilMatriarch that used her for slave labour.
