Fancharacter profile: Cynthia

"Hello!  Welcome to Constriction.  I'm Cynthia Burmess; how may I be of service?" --Cynthia

Type of character: Sonicverse (~lizardman22's version)

Name: Cynthia Burmess
Age: Early 20's
Gender: F
Race/species: Burmese python (Mobian)
Residence: Valley of Venom
Occupation: Tailor

Family: Second-oldest of four siblings; the others are all male.  Single; too busy to mingle with the opposite sex (or so she claims).

Appearance:
Cynthia is a fair bit taller than the average Mobian, but otherwise her proportions are fairly average.  Her eyes are the standard reptilian black, and she's semi-buxom.  Her entire scaly body is covered in brown blotches of varying sizes, each one a nice #804000 brown in the center, but fading into black at the edge.  In the areas between the blotches, she's a lighter tan color, around #FFBF80.  The blotches clear up mostly around her face.

She wears a sleeveless white dress that covers from her neck down to about her knees, as well as a matching pair of white slippers; she made them both herself, of course.

Personality:
Cynthia is a bit paradoxical.  On the one hand, she's a workaholic; nearly every second of free time she has, she spends practicing her trade.  She loves little side projects; if she's got nothing to work on, she comes up with something private, often a gift for one of her friendlier customers.  Only on very rare occasions can she be seen out and about.

On the other hand, she's a bit of a socialite, not as much as Hisspan but still more than average.  She's always willing to strike up a chat, and it's the surest way to distract her from her work.  She loves picking up as many little details as she can about each and every person that comes into her store.

Her favorite colors are white and black, and she has a thing for argyle.  The reason she dresses so plainly is because she thinks her markings make her appearance distracting enough.

Abilities:
Like all pythons, Cynthia is naturally physically strong.  She's very gentle with her strength, though.  She can also see in infra-red, and has a photographic memory like Rosa Black does.

Somewhat more unique is her natural skill with needle and thread.  Anything that involves sewn fabric, she can produce without trouble, and she can even thread a needle on try one.  She can work freehand or with a sewing machine, and has no real preference either way.

History: Nothing noteworthy

Misc. info:
Cynthia runs a fabric & clothing shop called Constriction.  It's located on the edge of the snake village, facing the lizard village.  Much of the Valley residents' clothing comes from her.

Although you wouldn't think so, she's a big fan of Tashako's stories, and makes sure to attend every recital he gives.  She hasn't missed a single one.

Her close friends tend to nickname her "Cyn".  She doesn't mind this at all.

She's just finished a plush doll in the image of Wolf Hisspan.  She's planning to surprise Hisspan with it the next time she stops in; until then, she's got it hidden behind the counter.

Cynthia's name first appeared publicly in Ad: Sleuth Serpent in Transylvania, although I had the idea for her character well before then.  In fact, the character's idea followed almost immediately after the ad's.
