Cynthia

"I AM CYNTHIA! I FLOAT LIKE A LEAF AND STING LIKE A NETTLE! ... Eh. Too vegetarian. Although it might lull the foe into a false sense of security..."

- Cynthia

Cynthia (シンシア Shinshia) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Awakening and the daughter of Sumia from the future. If Chrom marries Sumia then Cynthia will be the sister of Lucina, if Sumia marries the Avatar then she will be Morgan's sister. Otherwise she will be an only child. Her English voice is provided by Stacy Okada.

Profile
Cynthia has a bright and energetic personality. She admires heroes and studies dramatic entrances, but due to inheriting her mother's clumsiness, her entrances are dramatic for the wrong reasons. She also enjoys doing flower fortunes like her mother. She wears Sumia's ring, one of three mementos that Sumia left behind. The second is a spear head which was supposed to be the tip of a lance that Cynthia and Sumia was going to make before Sumia's untimely death in the future. The third and final memento is her pegasus, which her mother sent to protect her once she died. She speaks nonsense in her sleep. She is part of the Justice Cabal along with Owain and Morgan. Her birthday is May 14th.

After arriving in the current timeline, Cynthia searched for Chrom's army. On the way she bumped into a man claiming to be Chrom and instantly believed him and began to follow his orders and aided him as much as she could. However, on a fateful day she met the real Chrom who was accompanied by her mother. Upon finding out about the ruse, Cynthia teamed up with Chrom's army and defeated the impostor. Finally reunited with her mother and the real Chrom, Cynthia joins Chrom's army.

In her support with her mother, she dreams of becoming a part of the Ylissean Pegasus Squad, however her mother says she is not ready to become one yet, despite her excellent fighting abilities. By their final support, Cynthia realizes that she spent so much time improving herself that she neglected her pegasus, and vows to take better care of her mount. In her support with her father, she spends as much time as she can trying to do fun stuff with him. Eventually her father gets exasperated with her constant requests to do stuff together and wants space. Cynthia tells him that she's spending as much time with him because she never got to, and once her present version is born, she doesn't want to take any time away from her for her own needs, which touches her father's feelings.

Etymology
Cynthia is the Latinized form of Greek Κυνθια (Kynthia) which means "woman from Kynthos". This was an epithet of the Greek moon goddess Artemis, given because Kynthos was the mountain on Delos on which she and her twin brother Apollo were born. It was not used as a given name until the Renaissance, and it did not become common in the English-speaking world until the 19th century.

Trivia

 * Cynthia's birthday is the same day that Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War was first released in Japan.
 * Incidentally, Ribald Tales of the Faith War is one of her mother's favorite novels.
