POSITIVE TRAITS

• Loyal – Cyn doesn't let her friends down. No one messes with one of her friends without getting a heavy dose of thunder leader wrath. She'll get her story right, put on a tough face, take a fall, stay up all night for a friend in need.
  
• Honest – It is very rare that Cynthia will lie, even the way she gets around it is by not talking at all.
  
• Brave – It was once said that bravery was the determination that something else was more important than fear. Cynthia gets afraid plenty, but she's learned to set her jaw and get through it.
  
• Protective – Similar to loyal, but this one extends to any girl who's getting flak from a guy. She takes care of the women around her, and that's that. Even a water girl will get a little help from her, even if it's to shove the guy away.
  
• Organized – Cyn always knows where everything in her possession is at all times. She always knows her entire schedule, what time it is, and what her plans are. Period.
  
• Passionate – She throws her all into whatever she does, even if it doesn't look like she's all that excited on the surface.
  

NEGATIVE TRAITS

• Vengeful – If you wrong Cynthia, Cynthia will wrong you worse.
  
• Blunt – Ask her if you look fat, and she will say yes, yes you do. Unless you aren't. People learn quickly not to ask rhetorical questions around her, because she always answers them and usually in the affirmative. That was dumb, wasn't it? Yes it was.
  
• Fierce – Cyn gets violent, and Cyn get aggressive when she's roused. Don't pick a fight with her, because even if she's at a disadvantage, she is quite intent on causing the other person pain.
  
• Rigid – Since she's OCD, she can't just let some things slide. She literally gets panicky when things are wrong, so she gets a little stiff about some things.
  
• Impatient – She fakes it well, but yes, she has a really really hard time dealing with stupid people. In order to get around this, she will likely make jokes at their expense until she doesn't have to deal with them anymore

OTHER N/A

HISTORY Cynthia wasn't born into a happy family. Sure, they were very wealthy, but very little else went her way. Her parents never got married, though they did live together to take care of the kids. Her mother went off for a weeks at a time on vacations, cruises, and the many things she had gotten used to over her life. Her father was a workaholic who would leave her home alone with her little brother from the time she was five and on. Her father would leave without saying goodbye, when he would be back, or what she should do, so she had to figure things out on her own. First it was fun, then it was scary. She would set Mason to watching TV and sit in a chair in the kitchen for hours, waiting for one of her parents to get home.

Felicia was there one week out of three, and during those times her father got abusive. As if retaliating against her mother's presence, he would strike her or mason out of hand, without reason. She would take punishment for days before talking back, shouting at him, and that made it worse. He'd throw her around then. She stopped fighting back eventually, but she still got hit around. And at school, she took it out on the other kids, mostly the boys, with violence. Even during elementary school, she got into a couple scrapes.

During the entire time, she and Mason were very good friends. They grew close during the times they were alone in the house, playing with linkin' logs and talking hour after hour. As they grew older, they had eachother's backs at school. Since he was only one year younger than her, he was for most of the time in the same school as she, and they spent every minute there together. They formed a little gang that fought back against the populars and the teachers, generally giving up on authority altogether.

And for years their parents continued with the trend. It became very obvious to Cynthia that her parents had never really wanted children, and didn't seem to think their lives had changed because of them. She stopped thinking of them as family, and as she got older, she got bolder, starting to fight back physically against her dad. This incite his wrath whether Felicia was there or not, but it also made him a little more hesitant. Soon enough, Mason started fighting back as well. Cynthia still remembers to this day the time she was old enough to make her father back off.

When she was twelve, she and Mason ran away. They left an hour after their father did for work, making tracks for a few hours and then getting overwhelmed by the relief. Cynthia and Mason had great fun all day, only remembering to continue running when it started to get dark. But by then it was too late. There weren't far enough away and by the next day their father had found them. He flew into a rage, forgetting about the fact that Cyn liked to fight back and taking out his wrath on them. It wasn't like at home, though. He was reported.

Cyn and Mason went into foster care. Efforts were made to keep them in the same households, but not hard enough. Cyn was adopted soon, and by the time she was fourteen and her powers emerged she had no idea where her brother was. The loss hit her hard, and she barely kept enough sanity to accept academy's letter when it arrived. But she did, and she attended.

The school was hard for her. She wasn't used to having a community, being a part of a group, having to have loyalties or paying attention to authority. But she liked it. Though she fought it at first, by the time she was sixteen she was happy there and mostly a well-behaved student. Mostly. She was still vicious to many of the people she didn't like, and she still broke a few of the rules. But she felt like she belonged there, and thus did nothing to get herself expelled.

When Cyn was eighteen, she came into the money left to her by her mother's father, who had been a thunder elemental, too. She immediately used it to hire a private investigator to find her brother again. Only to find that he had been murdered in a robbery almost two years back. That was the day she swore to find the person who killed him and make them pay. Until then, she's busy enough with the worries of the thunder students.
