Bio[]
Appearance[]
Cynthia is a ten-year-old about the same height of Alfred and friends. Her feathers are auburn with a tan marking around her neck reminiscent of a necklace. Her tail feathers have a streak of purple and she has an orange beak. Her eyes are carolina-blue and she has a blue tongue. She wears her short, orange-blonde straightened hair in a bob.
Cynthia normally wears a pale pink tunic with mauve belt to match her berets, pale pink flats and black leggings.
For bed, she wears a pale pink blouse with hot pink and mauve detail, knee-length pants, slippers and a frilly eye mask. During winter, she wears a pale pink jacket with mauve details, pants and hat. Her boots are pale pink and she has pink gloves. When swimming Cynthia wears a light pink dress with a hot pink stripe and short hot pink leggings.
Personality[]
Cynthia is a typical spoiled child born into wealth. She expects everyone to know she is the best and wants their attention, talking down to others who can't compete against her or serve as competition. She shows-off when possible and is quick to blame others when things go wrong for her, and she throws tantrums like a child when really distressed. She has an over-inflated ego and believes she is destined for greatness, and while she appears to have some natural talent; she's also extremely clumsy and her pride or greed are likely to get the best of her. She has no problem taking advantage of a situation if it can help her.
Feminine, she cares a lot about her appearance and takes great pride in it. She likes typical girly activities, such as going out shopping, cheerleading, the color pink, and like most of the other girls in Gnarly Woods she really likes Ricardo and Razzy. But she still enjoys sports.
Cynthia is self-centered and unlikely to care about things unless they involve her. But, while she isn't Alfred nor his friends' favorite person, the two groups tolerate each other enough to speak on civil terms if they have to, and on rare occasions she is capable of casually speaking to them and providing help. She is shown to admire her mother, and deep down she can be kind to others. She can also laugh about the solution to a mystery once its been solved like everyone else.
Family[]
- Mrs. Payne - Cynthia's mother, who resembles her greatly. They behave a lot alike and her mom clearly spoils Cynthia. But she also scolds her for not being lady-like or behaving.
- Tina, Louise, and Gabby - Cynthia's cousins and friends. They're the only ones willing to tolerate her bossy attitude, and they genuinely care about her.
- One old photo reveals she has (or had) a grandmother.
Relationships[]
- Alfred Hedgehog (Classmate; Enemy): Out of the three she gets along the best with Alfred. She's still rude to him, but not unless provoked first by someone else, and she will beg him for help in times of crisis.
- Milo Skunk (Classmate; Enemy): Cynthia generally dislikes Milo and finds him annoying, usually as a result of competing against him. She mocks him frequently.
- Camille Wallaby (Classmate; Enemy): Cynthia and Camille are sworn enemies and rivals. They are almost always at each other's throats, and it's very rare to find them not on hostile terms. Camille never resists accusing her of being the cause of their various problems.
- Dr. Anna (Doctor) - One of the only people Cynthia genuinely likes. She complimented her in one episode about how kind she is, and how she helps her with her allergies.
