> - Cynthia Moonpath making the ultimate wish

**Cynthia Moonpath** (Japanese: **月星 氷夏夜** *Tsukihoshi Hinayu*) is one of the supporting characters of *Magicae Amicitiae et Harmoniae: Katy Magica*. She is a friendly, selfless, and supportive 14 year-old girl.

## Bio

### Appearance

Cynthia has purple hair tied in a bun, freckles, and light pink eyes. She wears purple-framed glasses, and her Harmony Mark is two gold shooting stars facing each other.

As a civilian, she wears a bright purple, sleeveless top with a cyan neckline, white leggings, and light mint green heels with dark purple and cyan striped socks.

She has had multiple versions of her outfit as a **magical girl**. In each version, her glasses disappear and her hair turns cyan with a fade of mint green and pink, and becomes slightly longer and partially tied in a ponytail. Her eyes turn purple. Holding her ponytail is a large purple bow. She has white angel wings on her back and her Elemaximum Gauge is on her right breast.

* Her starting outfit is a purple, slightly off-shoulder dress with straps and a lighter purple vest that has pointy sleeves, a three-layered skirt with dark blue trim, a cyan bow that contains her Harmony Gem, light silver flats with lavender bows, and very pale purple opera gloves with cyan ends.
* After gaining Stage 3, her skirt becomes more rounded and turns pale purple with two overlapping layers that have white ruffles on the edge of each layer (though her Harmony Gem bow remains, but becomes larger), while she gains two bright colbalt blue ribbons on the back of her waist. Her vest becomes closed with three star-shaped silver buttons and her shoulder straps now converge on the back of her neck to form a large purple ribbon. Her gloves become brighter purple, become half cyan and half purple and gain hot pink heart gems on the back of each hand.

In her **Elemaximum** form, (???)

In her **Rainbow Power** form, (???)

When achieving **Harmony Mark Magic**, (???)

Cynthia is shown to be able to use a trump card.

* In her **Magica de Eternal** form, her hair becomes blonde and goes down to her ankles. Her eyes also turn gold, complete with a white star shine. Her vest and top become lighter in color and her sleeves become puffy and dark purple and gold. Her skirt becomes cyan with lavender and pink trim, with a gold belt holding her Harmony Gem and a long gold overskirt that is purple on the inside. She has gold tights and purple flats, gold gloves with white fabric partially covering her arms, a gold star marking on her forehead, and a gold crown on her head. Her angel wings also become much larger.

When playing the role of the "wife" in the Shinkon, she wears a white kimono reaching her feet with a white waistband that has a single fabric flap with a cyan star on it. Over her kimono is a light purple haori jacket. She wears her hair down and adorned with two white hairbows.

In her **Summi Magia Aeterni Stellae** form from the series finale, her hair becomes a pair of huge flowing blonde pigtails and her left eye becomes pink and gold while her right eye becomes green and gold, and her eyes have six-pointed star pupils. Her eyelashes become thick and gold. In her hair are several large sakura petals that fade from pink to white and two green hairbows. She has a white puffy-sleeved long overskirt that fades to purple/pink, white glove-like fist armor with several multicolored gems (the right fist containing the Celestial Stones and the left fist containing the Dream Stones) on them, a light purple and cyan skirt under the overskirt, green skintight fabric on her arms and legs under her dress, and gold shoes with straps. Her Harmony Gem resembles a six-point star while her wings are huge and rainbow-colored. Her staff also changes appearance dramatically and it has several rainbow-colored gems with the handle being cyan.

### Personality

Cynthia is very friendly and supportive, always loving to help others, especially due to her position as holding the Divinity's power and the resulting responsibility she has to protect and patrol the Multiverse. She cares for others like a big sister since her mother Anabelle died in an accident and she grew up in an orphanage with her friends, though she can sometimes be too protective of those she cares about. She is *very* up to date on Multiversal news, is sometimes a bit sassy, brutally honest, and casual and spends quite a bit of time browsing social media on her phone, which can be positive or negative depending on the situation, and is very selfless, sometimes to the point of neglecting her own well-being.

### Relationships

* **Katy Livonne**: Cynthia sometimes comes to assist Katy and her friends when the need arises, although she can be overly protective of them and often (to their annoyance) lectures them on being proper Magis.
* **Melody Harmadale**: The two of them got along very well, especially since Melody mentored Cynthia on how to be a Puella Magi. The former's death in "*The End of the Princess*" took a toll that was so high for the latter that she even considered killing herself until the other heroes manage to talk her out of it and manage to convince her not to.
* **Megan Williams**: Although their meeting is brief, Cynthia and Megan have a heartfelt goodbye and a conversation in what is seemingly a void before the former's existence is erased. As a parting gift to remember her by, she magically creates a magical pendant and replicas of Madoka's red hairbows, and also gives her her glasses. As a result of them meeting, Megan is also the only one who remembers that she ever existed.
* **Kenny Moonpath**: Her 8 year-old little brother and fellow Magi who she cares a lot about, and she is *extremely* devastated by his death when it becomes his "turn" to die. She even attempts to commit suicide for the second time via alcohol poisoning due to this, but her friends manage to talk her out of it. When making her wish, she also cries partly because it means that her little brother won't remember her in the new timeline.

### Etymology

* Her Japanese surname **Tsukihoshi** means "moon star." She and her mother Anabelle have this surname instead of "Kurotsuki" due to the family changing their surname slightly during the timeskip between *Rosie Magica* and *Allison Magica*.
* The kanji for her Japanese name **Hinayu** respectively mean "ice," "summer," and "night," referring to her aurora theme.

## Items

* **Power Necklace**
* **Harmony Gem** *(is stored in the Magical Warrior System app when unused)*

### Backstory

Cynthia's mother, Anabelle, was killed in an unspecified accident when she was 6 along with Amber and her other friends. Sensing her having high potential, the Magic of Friendhsip teleported her to Blake's old home shortly afterwards.

A year later, she got glasses to correct her farsighted vision. Unfortunately, while playing outside the home, she was bullied by a group of other kids who made fun of her for putting random flowers she found outside in her hair, and when her attempts to calmly talk it out with them and convince them to stop failed, she got angry and suddenly unleashed a huge magic outburst that made them change their minds and run away.

### Becoming a Puella Magi

In "Cynthia Magica," Cynthia begins to wonder about her wish, unsure what to wish for. During a battle against a witch inside its barrier, however, she convinces herself to not make a wish for her contract (for now), and after seeing her friends in danger, becomes a magical girl. With the help of her Dream Pixie, she uses Double Glimmer Sphere to purify the witch.

### Starting to Break Down

In "The End of the Princess," Cynthia has a vision of the Shinkon, but before it could reveal who is the "wife," she wakes up and wonders what she just experienced. Agate assures her it was just a dream (especially since she's not a Miko), and Cynthia agrees, brushing it off as meaning nothing. However, she doesn't yet realize how wrong she is.

After Melody's death, Cynthia begins to take a very huge burden. She even learns that Katy using way too much raw power, resulting in her completely sanging vision in her right eye, is giving her a mental disorder. She decides to commit suicide by overdosing on pills and then allowing herself to get eaten by the next Vertex that appears, but her friends manage to talk her out of it at the last minute. Finally, in "A Sister's Loss," she breaks down in front of Evelyn and tells her that she may soon lose all her willpower. She later watches Sky die, much to Katy's horror. When *Kenny* dies, she once again becomes very depressed and steals a bottle of high-proof vodka from a liquor store (due to being a minor), intending to kill herself via alcohol poisoning. Once again, her friends and Pokémon manage to talk her out of it while she is seconds away from taking a shot.

### Fighting the Strongest Witch

In "A Hero's True Miracle," a few days after the funeral of Sky and Kenny, the remaining Puella Magi suddenly encounter many Stardust and the Dreadnaught Walpurgisnacht. Before they can transform and actually attack it, they are proven to be too powerful for them and soon causes the girls to become severly injured.

After receiving encouragement from Kyubey, the other Incubators, and all the Dream Pixies, Cynthia transforms with her friends again, and tries to fight the Vertex and Walpurgisnacht, only for the Dreadnaught to overpower them. However, the Puella Magi refuse to give up, and with the Super Miracle Shower attack, they manage to defeat Walpurgisnacht and purifiy its Grief Seeds (each coming from the five Witches that formed it), as well as destroy all of the Vertex completely. Sadly, their Pokémon die as a result of expanding all their power to help out.

### Going Through the Shinkon and Making the Ultimate Sacrifice

In "Pure Hearts," when she wakes up during the night because of the Taisha, she initially has to face the truth of potentially leaving her friends forever by going through the Shinkon, but knowing that Katy will soon lose her sanity, she ultimately agrees. However, she faces harsh objections from her friends. Not wanting to argue, Cynthia simply runs away.

By the time Katy, Evelyn II and Jim find Cynthia in the heart of the Shinju after Kylie's Preserver form puts bubbles over their heads, the Shinkon is already well underway, with snakes imprisoning her body and arms eating away her soul. She tries to reach out to them, but is blocked by a barrier. She is almost consumed by the snakes, but is freed after the girls permanently become Perservers and they, Jim and the rest of the Perservers unite in their prayers to the Shinju. She embraces Kyubey (who watched the entire scene), crying and admitting to her that she is very afraid. A bright light then engulfs Cynthia, allowing her to transform into her *Summi Magia Aeterni Stellae* form. With this incredible strength, she battles the AotA and defeats them once and for all. Finally, she decides to finally state her wish.

## Magical Abilities

As a magical girl, Cynthia possesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly. She is considered an extremely powerful Magi for obvious reasons (holding the Divinity's power). Her magic aura is royal purple in color.

Cynthia has the power of light, ice, and auroras. She is able to shoot very powerful beams and various attacks of light, and also has ice powers, allowing her to create powerful blasts of ice and shoot projectiles and crystals of it. Cynthia can channel light through ice crystals to form even more blinding attacks, and can also create auroras which she can use for offense or as shields to repel attacks, and can also create them in the sky. She also has strong healing, restorative, and revival powers, though after "The End Of The Princess," the witch that kills Melody severely weakens this power. She is also known to wield the Light of Hope *and* the Magic of Friendship.

## Magical Warrior

Cynthia is the Warrior of Auroras. She is a Light/Ice/Electric Elemental who represents the Element of Magic, and her theme color is purple with a sub of cyan. Her weapons are a sextant, a telescope, a horseshoe magnet, and a staff.

### Attacks

* **Double Glimmer Sphere**: Cynthia's main purification finisher. It borrows power from an unknown Dream Pixie.
* **Crystal Cold Wonderland**: One of her damaging sub-attacks.
* **Aurora Shimmer**: One of her damaging sub-attacks.
* **Aurora Barrier**: A combat spell used to form a shield made of auroras that repels attacks.

## Pokémon

* Eevee -> Jolteon (Agate; partner Pokémon)
* Ekans -> Arbok (Glitter)
* Lapras (Siren)

## Trivia

*For this character's tropes, see here.*
* She and Gina Silverstein are the only Magis to not get Stage 5. In her case, it is replaced with her Summi Magia Aeterni Stellae form.
* She saved her wish for the final chapter of *Katy Magica*, implying she knew of the consequences (losing her existence) but decided to go with it anyway at the last minute. As a result, she is the only Magi to never become an adult and the only one besides Irida to not be seen alive in the rewritten timeline.
* Despite not having any direct electricity-based powers, she is still an Electric elemental due to having powers concerning auroras (which are magnetic in nature, and she can even make them into shields), having a magnet as one of her weapons, and having the power to magically repel electricity and metal-based attacks.
* Similar to Katy sharing the same hair and eye color as Nanette despite her mother having black hair and purple eyes, Cynthia (as well as her brother) has a very similar hair and eye color to Katrina despite her mother having dark pink hair and purple eyes.
* Although she is considered a secondary character, she lives in Blake's old home like the mains, but is often busy because of her duty helping and protecting those all over the Multiverse.
* Due to Cynthia's wish and her never existing in the rewritten timeline, instead of being absorbed into Katrina and being passed along to Angela and Anabelle, as a compromise the Divinity instead sends a spark of Her power to the 21st century and disguises the *spark* as an old beggar. Much like how Blissany, Gracie, and Gracin get their own "copy" of Vahirom's essence, Piper Fields gets a "copy" of Celebi's magic, and Natalie gets a "copy" of wielding the LoH, while their parents retain said powers, Angela, Anabelle, and even Kenny also inherit a "copy" of the spark.
* It was confirmed that her "becoming part of the Divinity" means being absorbed into Her (especially since she doesn't wish for the *power* to erase all witches herself), not literally *becoming* Her.
* While the other Magis and Pokémon aren't looking, Cynthia secretly tries to master the use of both the Celestial and Dream Stones. Before the others finally find out, only Agate knows.
* She is the third character to have Cynthia as her English name, after Cynthia Platinum and Cynthia Porter. However, this is only an invention of the English dub, as their Japanese names are completely different.
