CYNDER

PERSONALITY

Cynder is vain, flashy and somewhat temperamental, with her primary concern being her own appearance. She trains regularly, but mostly to stay in tip-top shape and practice her dodging or silly poses. She appreciates those with the same knack for flamboyance as her, such as the mercenaries of the Ginyu Force, which she aspires to join one day. She's also rather cowardly and has a pronounced dislike for getting her hands dirty if she doesn't have to.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

Cynder is a habitual, swift flyer. She's also very adept at dodging, using rapid movement to put herself out of harm's way. Unfortunately, this proficiency at dodging comes at a cost: with her poor spatial awareness, not even Cynder herself knows where she's going to go next, leading to many mishaps.

Her distaste for hand-to-hand fighting has led her to adopt Ki blasts as her weapon of choice, with decently precise and powerful attacks of many kinds up her sleeve. However, she can't hold her own attacking at close range for long.

APPEARANCE

Cynder is athletic but below average height. She styles her hair after a common Brench-seijin cut. Her skin, hair and eyes all have a noticeable golden hue to them. A brown monkey tail that she wraps around her waist betrays her Saiyan heritage.

HISTORY

Cynder grew up an orphan Saiyan on Planet Brench, where she was sent on an escape pod as a baby after the destruction of Planet Vegeta. She was found and adopted by a couple of Brench scholars, who tried to instill the importance of hard work and brains over brawn on the young Saiyan. However, with an intellectual disadvantage relative to the bright natives and widespread discrimination over her Saiyan blood, Cynder soon found herself disenfranchised from Brench academics, falling into a depressive spiral.

This changed when she met Legoome, an aging guard at the local Frieza Force base, who identified her as a fellow Saiyan thanks to her tail. Distraught to find out Cynder knew next to nothing about her own kind, besides the Brench-seijin's perception of them as dumb barbarians, he made it his mission to lift Cynder's spirits up and find pride in being a Saiyan. Over time, he told her of countless Saiyan stories and started teaching her, eventually finding permission from his superior to let her into the compound and train alongside the first-year recruits.

With renewed energies and a new outlook in life, Cynder steered her goals away from academic success, to admission into the Frieza Force, much to the chagrin of her parents. Though she loved them, she couldn't envision a future for herself in the planet, and left to join the Force, where she was quickly recruited. Though the Force was an infamously competitive and cut-throat environment, she learned to navigate it with minimal fighting by using words to manipulate others to her advantage and blasting through anyone who stood in her way.

Now, she attempts to climb the ranks with the goal of joining the Ginyu Force one day, or perhaps even be allowed to form her own posse of flamboyant warriors who strike poses and look cool. Though she acts pleasant towards her peers, she's always cautious around them. One never knows...

POSSESSIONS

Cynder owns a pristine set of lower-middle class, full battle armor, which she wears with a green lens scouter. Her personal footlocker also contains a few billion gallons in capsules of hair product and tanning cream.
