[atrb=valign,top]  27 FEMALE SINNOH CHAMPION BISEXUAL NEUTRAL | [atrb=valign,top][atrb=style, border-left:1px solid #515151;] PERSONALITY Cynthia is a woman of unshakable calm, regardless of the circumstances or the pressure that she is placed under: a fine Champion she would be if she cracked under pressure, and an excellent researcher she would make if she did not know the value of patience! Cynthia is as comfortable with silence and her own company as she is conversation in a group; she adapts to fit the circumstances and retains an amicable, unthreatening poise that makes her approachable and enjoyable company. As a child, Cynthia was headstrong and impulsive, and although this has been tempered by age and experience, this is something that will occasionally surface when she is in a Pokémon battle. Despite her age, Cynthia still feels more alive in the heat of battle than she does anywhere else, and it serves as an effective counterpoint to her study of ancient mythology. Cynthia has no solely personal goals, for she has already met them: her youthful ambition was outgrown the day she became Sinnoh Champion and, whilst she still feels echoes of the scrawny ten-year-old girl who insisted on being the best when she battles others, she has matured and become a much more focused individual, with goals that are broader than just her own personal ambitions. There are times when Cynthia can appear to be rather absent-minded, as her passion for mythology will often override her sense of reality, and at times she can be extremely frustrating to communicate with, as her attention is clearly elsewhere. Whilst much of the time she is a practical and realistic individual, there are times when her head is clearly up in the clouds, and absolutely nothing anyone says or does will snap her out of it. To converse with Cynthia at times like this, one needs to have the same enthusiasm for mythology that she does, and the knowledge to speak about it comfortably; to engage her in conversation on her terms, as such. Those who do so will see Cynthia at her best; she becomes quite excited in the face of new discoveries, and even more so when she has someone interested to share them with. Like many people, she responds well to others sharing her interests. As Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia is widely recognized across Pokearth, and this is something that she uses to her advantage to get to know as many people as possible, and she takes a great deal of interest in the comings and goings of individuals who she has come into contact with, regardless of who they are and what they are doing, be it training Pokémon, breeding them, entering them in contests, or something else entirely. A social butterfly, Cynthia invites others into her life without hesitation, and keeps them in her thoughts even after they have parted ways: receiving a casual phone call from her if you have met her is not uncommon, and she is often generous with gifts to closer acquaintances: gifts of souvenirs picked up in her travels or even Pokémon eggs on occasion. Whilst her fascination with ancient mythology is her foremost interest, Cynthia is still very much interested in the lives of those around her, and makes an effort to actively engage with others, especially those younger than she is, so that she might instil in them an appreciation of the world around them; in some ways, she is quite motherly. She looks out for people and genuinely cares for their wellbeing, although she is not overly fussy, and does not assume she knows best: Cynthia gives advice. Whether or not people follow that is up to them. Raised in Celestic Town, which preserves the older ways of life in Sinnoh, Cynthia has inherited some very old-fashioned views – she believes in plain speaking and, whilst she is polite, she can be extremely direct, and her manner of speech at times can only be called antiquated – and a strong sense of morality. The concept of morality, for Cynthia, is not shades of grey, it is black and white: there are things that you should and should not do, and that is all there is to it. This is, perhaps, the only time that she becomes genuinely angry with others: those who violate her sense of what is right and wrong by abusing others (or themselves) had best be prepared to suffer the consequences for, whilst she only gives advice, Cynthia can be remarkably forceful: a woman of quiet, amicable presence, this can become steely determination when the situation calls for it. However, whilst Cynthia is an easy person to befriend, she is difficult to get close to. Whilst she often appears absent-minded, Cynthia is in fact a very focused woman, and her nature does not really allow for closer friendships. She gets to know others, but others rarely get to know her; in many ways, a conversation with Cynthia is very one-sided; she encourages others to share their thoughts, but does not share hers in return. She tends to lean towards shorter answers when asked about her feelings and, if she is bothered by anything, she keeps it hidden extremely well or gets over it very quickly. It is what she does, and not what she thinks and feels, that defines who she is: she is Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champion, or Cynthia, who travels across Pokearth, researching ancient mythology, things many have long since forgotten, or no longer see the value in remembering. What you see is what you get. Whether or not this is the truth of the woman is something that Cynthia has never really considered: she is content with her life, and has a meaningful goal that she can work towards. She has everything she could ask for in life, so what need does she have to stop and think about it? This is, perhaps, a natural reaction: few have tried to get to know Cynthia, the woman, and only her family can remember the little girl who used to spend her days racing around on a bicycle and was impulsive and hot-headed, determined to win no matter what. She is well and truly ensconced in her roles, to the point that they define her entire personality. Cynthia identifies as bisexual, but this is a very casual label: she has never really thought about it; she hasn’t really met the right person, or perceived the need for a relationship. To call her asexual would be premature, for she has never really considered it, and she does not distinguish between genders in the way that she treats others – other than to give men their privacy if they require it, for obvious reasons – and so to say that she is attracted to one over another would also be incorrect. Despite her open and friendly manner, Cynthia is solitary by nature: she travels alone, occasionally coming together with others, but always keeping them at arm’s length, without even realizing that she is doing it. A woman who comes and goes as she pleases, the idea of being tied down is one that goes against Cynthia’s nature, and whilst the prospect of settling down one day is somewhere in the back of her mind, it is perhaps not ancient enough a thought for her to give it ample consideration yet. Whilst not entirely selfless – she gets no small amount of satisfaction from seeing people take an active interest in that which she treasures – much of what Cynthia does is borne from a desire to preserve history and tradition, and to help others realize their full potential, the latter being a desire borne shortly after she became Sinnoh Champion. Cynthia has what might be called the spirit of a teacher: she takes great delight in instructing and in learning, and is in the unique position where the entire world is her pupil. She lives both in the present day and within the past, and is content to allow the future to unfold as it will; giving her a remarkably carefree attitude for so focused an individual. Despite her instinctive reticence to consider things on a personal level, Cynthia is not a difficult woman to read, and it is probable that she will initiate conversation, rather than sit back and wait for others to approach her.
