She keeps her blonde hair short and neat, just above shoulder-length. Constantly pushing up her ill-fitted helmet or correcting her round glasses, it's clear she's no soldier, but her focused demeanor tell she's here for a reason.A camera is strung along her neck like jewelry, resting above a press badge on her oversized flak jacket. Rolls of film, tapes, and other accessories are fitted neatly into pouches and pockets. Cynthia tries to maintain her femininity despite the military attire she’s forced to wear while on the field. Lipstick, nails painted pink, things of this nature help her feel more at home despite the environment.

Driven to prove herself in a field where many people's voices fall short, Cynthia is a stubbornly determined and dedicated woman.While known to be a no nonsense,argumentative and at times overbearing journalist. Cynthia is actually quite sweet to those who get to know her on a personal level. She’s as quick with a compliment as she is with a helping hand. She chose to become a War correspondent because of her distaste for how the war was being portrayed in the media. The government boasts of great victories and positive strides toward ending the war, but the soldiers coming home seem more like broken men than returning heroes. This reality crushed her, and she felt it was being under reported in the news which made her feel worse still. These feelings were in large part of why she went to Vietnam in the first place. She was driven to report the Vietnam War from the perspective of the soldier, to lend a real voice to the men and women who seemed to be suffering in silence.
