## Character History

When Cynthia first met the Gaines family, she was shown to be caring and protective for Frankie and her family. However, when Frankie stole the encrypted master plan file of WARPA, Cynthia let her android son Beto chew and destroy the drive containing it.

When Dayton and Frankie finally encrypt the file with the help of Rachel, Cynthia was shown in the video which raised suspicion with Frankie and Dayton.

In order to verify her alignment with WARPA, Dayton and Frankie let Rachel check some articles regarding Cynthia while in a disguise that she was creating a backstory for the "characters" of Frankie and Dayton's "game". Rachel later concluded that Cynthia was a WARPA agent.

Dayton and Frankie revealed to Will and Jenny that they have reason to believe that Cynthia was a WARPA agent. However, when Cynthia overheard them, she revealed that she was the head of WARPA.

Her true personality appeared after she revealed herself to be the head of WARPA. This is shown when she threatened Will that she would harm Frankie if he called the police or authorities to try to have her arrested. Furthermore, she swore to Frankie that sooner or later she would cooperate in Project Q. Later, when WARPA technicians took control of the international space station, she threatened the lives of Sigourney and the other crew members by sending them to the deep space if Frankie doesn't cooperate with his plans for world domination. After Frankie destroyed her surgical robot, she wanted to force her to surgically implant robotic parts into Cole herself to turn him into an HRO (Human-Robotic Organism).

When Andrew, Simone and Mr. Kingtom managed to escape and arrive in time to stop Frankie from operating on Cole and informed him that WARPA had lost full control of the international space station, Cynthia realized that her plans were being sabotaged and He threatened them with an electromagnetic pulse weapon and ordered Frankie to continue with the procedure of implanting the robotic parts into Cole. However, Cole managed to disarm her and put her deep sleep helmet on her, leaving her unconscious on the ground as they escaped from the WARPA base.

She ended up being arrested along with all of her workers on charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, embezzling government funds, and attempting to overthrow the legitimate government and take over a space station.
