Height:5’6”
Weight: 122 lbs
Physical Description: She puts staying in shape at a high level of importance. There is rarely a day where she won’t be trying to exercise in one shape or form. Whether it’s doing sit-ups at home, jogging, or visiting the gym. She’s very careful about her weight, even though her metabolism is fairly high anyway. Her arms and legs are toned nicely, but it is not overdone, for no woman should have bulging muscles, right? There are times in which she drops a few too many pounds due to stress as well as other factors, but she is usually in denial about it when it happens.

Her body type ranges from rather thin to slightly curvy. Her eyes a dark brown and her hair is naturally a dark brunette, though it has gone through a few changes here and there. She has added highlights a few times and has even trialed a few different colors, but her natural look seems to suit her best. However, for now it had returned to its natural shade until further notice.

Her arms and shoulders are fairly slender, save for the slightly toned biceps she has developed throughout the years. Her neck and chin are well-defined. Her skin takes on a medium tone and is often considered a nice trait of hers thanks to her anti-aging products and deep moisturizing lotions. She is lightly tanned most of the year and it darkens a few shades in the hotter months to add to its natural glow. Cindy has a full set of lips and teeth that are clearly well-cared for.

She still has a few scars remaining from her childhood, but none are very noticeable, thank goodness. Though she still tends to be a bit sensitive about select scars due to their origin. Others she obtained from falling off horses and doing a series of foolish stunts as a teenager. Cindy has a few issues with her back, with a slight hint of scoliosis, but it is nothing severe. It causes a bit of discomfort every now and then, but it doesn’t serve as too much of a problem, fortunately.

Overall Personality: Cindy is as kind and caring as can be when it comes to helping those in need. She is always there for those who need her advice, even though she is the one who seeks it the most. She is very social and a people person in every sense of the phrase. This allows her to do her job as a restaurant owner effectively. It’s difficult to run a place when you can’t deal with all sorts of different people, after all. She loves interacting with most people as long as they show her respect, of course. Making friends is what can be called a passion of hers, but her busy life hasn’t presented her the opportunity for the social life she once had.

Despite her kindness and social charms, Cindy will usually speak her mind, especially when it comes to those of high egotistical value. If she senses someone is being rude or unfair, she will let them know. It doesn’t always end pretty, but she often regrets it if nothing is said about it. And if you should actually insult her, she merely laughs anyway. There was once a time in which Cindy didn’t care much at all what other people thought of her. She had somehow learned to be carefree in her desperate attempt to forget her childhood. However, her insecurities came flooding back to her after her heart was beaten and battered at the end of her last relationship. She received no closure from it and was therefore left questioning everything about herself. A few extra minutes on makeup as well as a personality check every once and a while had become a habit or hers that was meant to make her feel better. She liked to pretend it did.

If you should ever make her angry, she fluctuates between being capable of shouting at the top of her lungs and choosing to be more passive-aggressive about it. Confrontations were rare for Cindy, so she wasn’t always the best at handling them. If she felt the person would be reasonable enough, however, she did prefer to talk things out rather than keeping things bottled up. After her last relationship, however, she has begun to do so since she has no desire to discuss mostly due to her denial about just how miserable it is making her.

Something you might never suspect about her though are her emotional weaknesses when it comes to tough situations. She isn’t one to pout, but she will break down if the strain is strong enough on her sensitivity. Normally she isn’t much affected, but there are some things, such as relationships of the past, that really end up hitting her hard and it takes her longer to recover than most. She hates to cry and hates it more to let people see her weaknesses. It is something she has been self-conscious about since she was young and after being heartbroken, she didn’t quite know how to hide it other than behind her work.

Workaholic is a phrase that is probably a bit over-used these days, but Cindy certainly seems to fit that description. She rarely takes a day off and is often forced to take vacation at some point when she gets a bit too overwhelmed. Going home only meant she’d have time to think about other things besides work and that meant she would be thinking about how empty her life was. Her work made her happiest because she knew she had nothing else to look forward to.

Home Town: Where was your character born?
Job: Owner of Cinzetti’s Restaurant
History: It all started on May 26th, 1982. Her mother was still sober, her father still at home. You would have never guessed that Cindy’s birth wasn’t at all planned from the beginning. In actuality, the little baby girl was the reason for her parent’s marriage and we all know that marriages like that never last. Everything was going fairly well until Cindy was old enough to go to school. In the meantime, her sister had come along for this terrible ride as well. She was born three years after Cindy. Her name was Hannah. Cindy was about ten when it all started, her sister being eight.

Cindy’s father was your typical alcoholic. He abused his wife and sometimes he would strike Cindy and Hannah as well if they didn’t avoid him constantly. Her mother was no different drinking wise, however. She drank day in and day out, especially after her abusive husband finally left her. Cindy and Hannah had to take care of their mother for the next three or four years, watching her lay on the couch, the life draining from her every second. Social Services were contacted by the neighbors after they had invited themselves in after not seeing Cindy’s mother for a while.

Cindy and Hannah were sent to live with their uncle in Wyoming. He had a ranch there and oh what a blessing that was for Cindy. She had always loved horses, so it was very fitting that she was able to have one of her own, given to her on her fifteenth birthday by her uncle. It was a gray quarter horse mare with a beautiful blaze on her face and a stocking on her left front leg. Her name was Ashes. She loved the horse more than anything else, save for maybe her sister. Her sister also had her own horse and they’d go riding nearly everyday.

Life on the ranch ended when Cindy went off to college. She attended the University of San Diego and got her MBA (Masters in Business Administration). She later moved to a place called Watermark and worked as an assistant manager for the Brown Palace Hotel. This is when all the fun started. She met a man by the name of Diego Xavier Luna and they fell in love…deeply in love and Cindy thought that that would be it. She had found ‘the one’. She couldn’t have been more wrong. There was a point in which Diego completely disappeared without any contact whatsoever. Cindy was heartbroken. He returned about a year later, telling her he had a son and he had meant to call her, but didn’t get a chance. Cindy, being so foolish and still madly in love with him, she believed him and decided to accept the fact that she would become his son’s (Cruz) new mother. Sounded like a fairy tale ending, didn’t it? Well, it would have been, had Diego not disappeared yet again. Twice she had been heartbroken and this time, he never returned. She was absolutely crushed and couldn’t sleep for weeks, somehow hoping he would return.

Weeks turned into months and months turned into years. Cindy finally brought herself to forget about the matter and she was now learning to get over it and meet new people and she had gained a few friends since then. Now she was trying a new beginning and moved on to another city, in which she hoped would serve her well.

Role Play Sample:

It must have been at least a month since Cindy had visited the stables last. She had been extremely busy managing her restaurant and hiring new servers so things had been a bit hectic during the past several weeks. The best form of relaxation for her was her horses. It didn’t matter if she was riding them or grooming them; just being in the peaceful atmosphere of the stable was plenty to set her mind at ease. She was good friends with the owner of the place as well as a few stable hands there so things always seemed to go smoothly when she decided to visit, which was as often as she could manage. Cindy could hardly go too long without seeing her beloved horses. Today was her first day off in weeks so it made sense to spend it doing something she enjoyed and she made sure to get up early enough so that she could get the most out of the day.

She made sure to wear attire that she wouldn’t mind getting dirty, which included a navy long-sleeved shirt, jeans and of course her black riding boots. She threw on a sweatshirt as well after figuring out that it was slightly chilly that day. She wouldn’t be surprised if it rained later, which was all the more reason to hurry up and get to the stable. She wanted to get some riding in before things got too wet and muddy. It wasn’t more than twenty minutes later that she finally arrived. She had recently leased a small Chevy pickup to get around the place easier. She had a sedan that she kept for work and she was tired of coming home with dirt and mud all over the bottom of her car’s frame. Once she arrived, she found Molly at the gate and asked her if Dean had been there. He had been the one making sure her horses received the best care the place could provide, after all and considering she hadn’t been there in such a long time, it would be nice to get a detailed update. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there.

Her tack was unloaded from her truck and she brought it over to the stable that she knew her two Hanoverians as well as her Akhal Teke were staying in. Her most recent acquisition had been Samurai, an eight-year-old bay Akhal Teke stallion. She wasn’t entirely sure about the horse as of yet, but she knew that the breed was known for being hot-blooded. So far she hadn’t had too much trouble with the stallion, but she never took anything for-granted. She found a bucket by his stall door that had some brushes in it. She grabbed a curry comb before entering the stall and stroked his cheek a bit while she talked to him, making sure he was calm. It took her probably close to an hour to finish getting the loose dirt from Samurai’s coat, but it wasn’t unusual for Cindy to take her time with it. Grooming her horses was always a great opportunity to bond with them in her mind.

After putting the comb back and grabbing his bridle, she carefully slid the bridle over his head and eased the bit into his mouth. He jerked his head a bit, which she always expected with him, but eventually was able to secure the bridle. She lead him out of his stall and attached the reins to a nearby post before placing his blanket and saddle on his back. It didn’t take long before the two of them were ready to set out on the trail. Cindy didn’t plan to work the horse too hard that day. A long and relaxing trail ride sounded perfect at the time. After leading the horse from the stable, she mounted the stallion and guided him towards one of many trails that were in the area.

Cindy lost track of time completely after a while. Her little trail ride seemed to last all day, but a good majority of it was spent observing the nature around her while Samurai grazed nearby. The dark started to come far more quickly than she had anticipated and that was her signal to head back. She mounted Samurai again and headed back at a trotting pace. Before long, it started to rain. Cindy had been surprised by the temperament of her horse that day. He hadn’t given her much of a fight and she was grateful for that, but perhaps she spoke too soon. They weren’t more than half a mile from the stable when something crossed their path. Cindy could have sworn it was a fox or something, but she couldn’t be sure for she didn’t have a chance to see much of it before the stallion reared up without giving Cindy any time to prepare for it. She fell to the ground and as soon as she looked up, Samurai took off at a running gait. It only took a moment for Cindy to figure out that she was okay other than a few scrapes and bruises and she soon took off after the horse.

She was running for at least five minutes before she saw someone in the distance. Her horse must have blown past whoever it was so maybe they would have a better idea of where the stallion had gone to. As she got closer, she noticed it was a man who seemed to be on his way back to the stable. She recognized the horse; she had seen it around before, but she couldn’t recall the name. She stopped in front of them and took a moment or two to somewhat catch her breath. “Have you…did you see a horse run by here?” Her situation should be fairly obvious. She couldn’t believe this. The rain started to come down a bit harder, which would only make tracking her horse more difficult. “I hate to ask you this, but can you help me?” she pleaded. Cindy hated bothering people with her own problems, but she really could use someone’s help, especially since it was getting dark. She hadn’t known her horse would react like that, but she supposed it was only a matter of time before the high strung stallion showed her what kind of energy he really had.
