Cynthia 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 Robin then she will be Morgan's sister. Otherwise she will be an only child.
Cynthia is Sumia's daughter from the future. In the past she used to be a "girly-girl" according to her conversation with Severa in the Harvest Scramble. Cynthia grew up with the stories of the "Generation of Heroes" or the stories of her parents and their friends, even if they were not all entirely accurate. Most of her time was spent with Sumia, whom the two began forging a spear for Cynthia. Unfortunately Sumia was killed in battle before this project could be completed as only the spearhead was forged by Cynthia. Sumia's pegasus eventually found its way back home and wanted to protect Cynthia, thus becoming her mount. She also received Sumia's wedding ring and has worn it ever since. Sumia's death weighed heavily on her and because of the stories of her parents, Cynthia changed her entire personality and begun hanging out with boys more than she did with girls. She eventually began training to be a hero and to become a member of the Pegasus Knight Squad. Cynthia would later join Lucina and the other children on their journey to go to the past and prevent the ruinous future. 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. She began to follow his orders and aided him as much as she could.
In her paralogue, one 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. Alternatively, if Chrom married Sumia, Cynthia will call Ruger "Father." On the battlefield, should Chrom talk to her, Cynthia will discover that he is the real Chrom, but is still doubtful. She tells him to call her his "pega-pony princess" like he supposedly did in her time in order for her to believe him. Much to his embarrassment, Chrom nevertheless calls her so, and she defects to her father's army.
After the war, Cynthia continued her quest to become a hero. Sadly, she was remembered humorously rather than heroically. Still she was well loved by all for trying.
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 is spending as much time with him because she never got to. She also wishes to use the time as she does not wish to take away the attention of her parents from her present timeline counterpart, touching her father's feelings for her kindness.
She is part of the Justice Cabal along with Owain and Morgan.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
As a child, Cynthia was very girly and hated violence, but with the death of her mother, Cynthia discarded these in order to become a hero. Her pursuit has lead to a love of stories of heroics, especially ones of Sumia, her father, and their comrades, the former two whom she idolizes the most. She also practices dramatic entrances into battle, accompanied by a flashy war cry, fine tuning them so she can become the hero she desires to be. Her imagination can sometimes run wild and easily believes the stories told of her mother in particular, but has some sense in knowing what is actually fiction, instead choosing to believe the outlandish stories to motivate her.
Much of her traits were inherited from Sumia, namely her clumsiness, stumbling on her own feet with some regularity. However, while Sumia sometimes lacks self-worth in these instances, Cynthia takes her clumsiness in stride, remaining enthusiastic. She also enjoys doing flower fortunes like her mother. She has a special bond with her pegasus as well as it was inherited from Sumia in the future, later learning to take care of her mount as her trusty companion in battle.
Cynthia has a strong sense of justice though it can often become misguided, but nevertheless, she seeks to do the right thing. Over-trusting to a fault, following a man who claimed to be Chrom without a single moment's hesitation, but easily abandoned his cause when his ruse was revealed.
As stated by both Laurent and Gerome in their respective supports with her: Cynthia is viewed as a beacon of hope and a leader. Her optimism inspiring members of the army to keep going when the times get rough.
