Cynthia

Cynthia is a side character that only appears in Redemption for Jessika (2016). She is Gary's wife, and a Mayhem fan.

Character Overview
Her marriage with Gary was experiencing a sort of a crisis; as she is a Mayhem fan, Gary decided to do something she may like and bought some tickets for one of their concerts. Coincidentally, that was the very same concert Charles Reyes decided to use to break with his girlfriend, Jessica Springfield, in order to make her feel guilty about the riot he was planning to start. As Charles expected, Jessica sang in anger after the breakup, and her power broadcasted that anger to the audience in the stadium. This affected Cynthia and Gary, as both of them started to feel all of their frustrations with their failing marriage bubbling up: amidst the turmoil, she punched Gary, and he responded by slapping her. Their marriage obviously resented from this, and they spent several weeks without even talking to each other.

The fact that Gary tried to charge Jessica for the riot, which resulted in five deaths, didn't help to ease things out. During those weeks, Cynthia was approached by a redhead girl who claimed she was an intern at Sangrive's Courthouse and was having an affair with Gary. However, after Gary is forced to drop the case against Jessica and decides to prosecute someone else, Cynthia also focused her rage against this new suspect, and starts to slowly patch things up with her husband. Their relationship is finally fixed during a lunch they share at the Delfinos with Cynthia's idol, Jessica, and her new boyfriend, which happens to be Gary's co-worker and friend, Marc. In that lunch, Cynthia quickly waves off Jessica's apologies for the incident in Mayhem's concert, as it's obvious to her that the singer had nothing to do with it. Anyway, Jessica offers the couple some backstage passes for the next Mayhem concert, which makes Cynthia immensely happy.

Miscellaneous

 * On the lewd, non-canon path, Cynthia pretends to believe the redhead intern, who is most likely Chloe, and uses Marc, whom she feels attracted to, to get her "revenge", forcing Gary to watch them having sex in his own office. While they are at it, though, Cynthia softens up a bit and lets Gary join them. Afterwards, she confesses she was afraid of telling her husband she likes some daring stuff; when Gary says he's more than OK with that, she suggests trying bondage.
