Cinder is a recessive, uncommon marking that gradually darkens the dracovix from the top with a black, textured and or gradient blanket, as if they were rained on with volcanic ash. Cinder's range covers all of the upper surfaces of the dracovix's body, and just the dorsal side of their wings. At minimum, there needs to be enough coverage on 2/3'rds of the dracovix's dorsal wings. Ash resembles the Sooty gene in horses.
