History
Born in Honolulu, HI; of mixed Chinese, Polynesian, and white descent
An only child
Dad ran a dojo so grew up doing martial arts
Mom wanted her to do more 'girly' things so also signed her up for dance lessons and dance became a lifelong love
Went to a fine arts college for dance
Moved to New York City after graduation to pursue a professional dance career, but ended up entangled in the arts scene instead
Got into a relationship with a high society girl who jetset her around the globe; always canny, Cynthia learned to read and mirror subtle social cues, blending in seamlessly with various social groups
Eventually was introduced to the shady underbelly of the arts world and was intrigued
Didn't mean to become a world-class thief, it just sort of happened? And it was fun so she kept doing it
Eventually was recruited into what she didn't know at the time was a mostly PWSA heist crew by Barbara Morgan, a witch
The crew needed humans to perform certain tasks that were warded against PWSA (generally when stealing magical artifacts) and sometimes just to serve as a face for the group
This is where Cynthia met and eventually fell in love with Magdalena Novak, her future wife
While most humans generally were rotated out of the crew in a few years, Cynthia got along so well with Babs and Magda that she stuck with it
By the time she embarked on a romantic relationship with Magda, the crew was in discussions of letting her in on the secret
When they finally did so, she was very surprised, but took it in stride – it explained a few things she had noticed over the years
Married Magdalena in Paris, where they met, in 2013 when France legalized same sex marriage and they decided to retire
Moved to Amber Hollow and has been a community fixture since
