Honestly, I don't think Cinderella was ever intended to be a main/important character. I think she was a means to getting Emma to make the deal with Rumple. All in all, she doesn't really have much more purpose than that. The idea with her prince disappearing was to indicate why they were broken up in Storybrook.
