>>44096583Nah, Cynthia gets bubbly while tipsy, since she still has the faculties to be cheery and cutesy, but her guile and filters are flawed.
She then gets lonely, quiet, and depressed once her focus erodes and she forgets to push the happy.
She finally starts throwing herself at whoever is kind to her once her inhibitions are all gone, and her hunger for love and connection overpowers all else.
Evidence: No person holds multiple vacation houses that serve as general social gathering places, that they can always travel to and find some people enjoying themselves and happy to see them if they don't have some crippling isolation issues, mixed with potentially some imposter syndrome stemming from people being in love with a character of her that exists in their minds, that doesn't exist in real life.
Cynthia just wants to be loved and accepted as the nerdy bookworm goofball she is, not the elegant, powerful champion she's become in so many minds, but can't let her guard down because she fears if anyone learns that, they won't respect her as champion anymore. She has to joke that she's joking, and accept that people assume she's joking to be more approachable, when that's just who she is. She feels trapped with no way to avoid lying about herself, and wants only for someone to truly understand her, but feels that is an unattainable dream.
