Biography
Little is known of Cyndie's life prior to the zombie apocalypse. What is known is that she was the granddaughter of a woman named Natania and had a younger brother. In the mid 2010s, Cyndie and her family were part of a group of survivors who had settled on the East Coast of Virginia. Their group ran afoul of another larger and more aggressive organization known as the Saviors. The group fought back, and as a result, the Saviors rounded up all males above the age of ten and executed them in a firing line by shooting each one in the head, including Cyndie's brother. The surviving women fled and established their own sanctuary at the Oceanside Cabin Motor Court. Due to the violence they had suffered, Natania instituted a strict policy of secrecy and that all strangers were to be killed on sight. Cyndie did not agree with this measure, which caused some conflict between her grandmother and she.

Cyndie and a young girl named Rachel were combing the beach for discarded treasure when they came upon the unconscious form of a woman named Tara Chambler. Rachel, in keeping with Oceanside's edict, wanted to kill her, but Cyndie stopped her. Instead, she decided to help the woman, though Rachel wanted no part of this. She pulled her away from the beach and left two bottles of water, a wrapped up dry fish, and a spear beside her. Tara awakened and secretly followed Cyndie back to the campground. The other members of the community were alerted to her presence and gave chase. Rachel got the drop on Tara, and pointed a loaded gun at her. Cyndie intervened and stopped Rachel from shooting her.

Tara was apprehended and questioned at length by Natania. She found out the truth behind Tara's community at Alexandria, and told her that she would have two of her lieutenants, Beatrice and Kathy escort her outside the environs. Cyndie knew that Natania intended on having her killed, so she came to Tara's rescue once again. She helped her get away from Beatrice and Kathy and brought her to the bridge where Tara lost track of her colleague, Heath. Cyndie promised to lay down cover fire so that Tara could fight her way through the walkers and get across the bridge. Before she left however, she made Tara promise to not tell anyone about Oceanside's existence.
