Ever After High: Cynthea Mallard

Description

Edit 2/26/15: Placing this in my scraps. I've reworked Thea to the point of giving her a completely different name, so this is an outdated reference. You can find her new artwork and bio by clicking here.

Edit 2/26/14: I feel awkward for pointing this out, but her interest in ballet was very much included at the beginning of her conception, and long before I even knew that Swan Lake students were going to be featured on the show. It almost feel as if I've used an old cliche before before it actually became one, but it's a little too late now to rid of that aspect of her, isn't it?

---

Fin, fin and FIN! Man I just love how she came out! Normally I'm not one to gush about my own art but still. I decided to make her a rebel! An admittedly less radical one who may skirt the fine line a little, but still. Daughter of The Ugly Duckling, here we go~

Le profile:

--Name: Cynthea Mallard
--Parent's Story: The Ugly Duckling
--Roommate: Cliora Fair
--Secrete Heart's Desire: To find peace with my self-perception and to see my father again. And, um, to dance without scrutiny. I may not quite be the next Odette, but ballet has always been my passion~
--My "Magic" Touch: I'll grow a set of wings in the near future, even shape-shift into a cygnet as well, but extra limbs covered in baby down will serve no use in flying for a while. Otherwise? I’m bare of magic at all...
--Storybook Romance Story: Perhaps I'll meet a nice, level-headed young swan someday, but one must love herself before she can love another, right?
--My "Oh curse!" moment: Most poultry seem to have this instinctual aversion towards me. It's to be expected, but it's a pinch irksome after a while.
--Favorite subject: Oh where do I even start? But if I do have to choose... Swimming and Dance. My aunt says I'm a natural at the former.
--Least favorite subject: Well, everyone speaks over me in Debate...
--Best Friends Forever After: Cliora Fair, [insert name here, open for more spots :> ]


Personality:
Although a standard first impression from Thea might allude to introversion, being a wallflower isn’t all there is to this so-called duckling, nor would she prefer to actually stay that way. Cynthea is a subtly defiant, albeit awkward swanling with a love for dance, knowledge and hands-on learning, whether she's dissecting literary conventions or spends a day exploring the depths of the pond near the Enchanted Forest. While her sharp mind has more than contributed in analyzing her own father’s tale, she has grown to be riddled with self doubt over the years, a phenomena that has heightened her growing humility.

Well aware of the implications of her father’s story, Thea, in spite of herself, and depending on the circumstances, may sometimes be on her guard upon meeting one's acquaintance, as she is used to others taking advantage of her so-called "ugliness". Her friendship circle is small yet tight-knit and she had a hard time regaining trust once it's broken, often leading her to, ironically, judge a book by its cover when someone's dependability is questionable at best.

Overall, Cynthea is a young woman of layers: Reticent, introspective, slow to trust, understatedly daring, and when in her true self can be discerned, a girl who is graceful while in her element.

And of course, a wee bit of (rather short) crediting: Cliora belongs to :iconcaptainmaddy-the13th:.
