physical appearance

Cindy is a 11-year-old fair-skinned girl with blonde hair that has wavy bangs swept to the left side and green eyes. In the "proto" design, Cindy's name was originally going to be "Sally Proton" and her hair was going to be black. Her hair was also in a similar ponytail style to her current design. She also wore a pink outfit consisting of a sleeveless shirt and darker skirt, a matching hair bow, and white and black sneakers. In her first introduction in the short (New Dog, Old Tricks), Cindy wore a pretty pink button-front and short-sleeved knee-length dress with a frilly white collar.In the following shorts and the film, as well as the video games, Cindy wore her hair in pigtails with pink hair ties. She wore a coral pink short-sleeved, button-up shirt with navy jeans and coral pink saddle shoes/sneakers with black stripes. This design is still used in promotional merchandise and clip art.When the television series began, Cindy's entire look changed for the rest of the franchise as she now wears her hair in a single ponytail. She also now wears a faded, green-striped halter shirt (tank top in 2D promotional art and books), khaki jeans, pink polka dot undies, gray socks and a pair of dark lavender-pink and white Converse sneakers. Keith Alcorn said this change was to make Cindy look older as the series takes place a year after the movie.In The N-Men, when she earned her superpowers, she wore a light grey midriff top with The N Men logo on the front with dark grey seams, blue wristbands, a red skirt with white stars, light blue underwear, a red cape, blue futuristic boots, and a purple star on her right cheek. Her hair tie also becomes red instead of its usual pink. She has a lavender eyeliner.

physical appearance (2)

She also wore a pink one-piece swimsuit in Jimmy on Ice when she was in her pool, Monster Hunt in the picture of her on a beach that accidentally came up in the lake monster slideshow, Beach Party Mummy during the Egyptian beach party, and Journey to the Center of Carl when her mother was giving her acupuncture with 678 needles. In Nightmare in Retroville for her Halloween costume ( Muffy the Vampire Annihilator ), she wore a jet-black halter top with a design of flaming heart slayed by a wooden stake with the name Muffy on it, bright red pants, jet black Converse sneakers, black fingerless gloves with spikes on the wrists, a black spiked choker, and a black tattoo on her upper right arm. Her hair tie also becomes black instead of its usual pink. When she was a vampire in this same episode, she continued to wear this same outfit and she had pale white-colored skin, black hair, nails, and lips, and two sharp top fangs.

personality

Cindy is very smart, kind, loving, caring and good-hearted, but she’s also spoiled, bossy, sarcastic, prideful, independent, competitive, and strong-willed. Increasingly, she’s forced to an authentic admission that Jimmy Neutron can indeed do some cool things and take them on very fun adventures. Throughout the course of the franchise, they began to become closer and closer as friends, eventually not fighting as much. It‘s also shown that Cindy secretly looks up to Jimmy and wants to be as smart as him. Sometimes, Cindy's desire to be number one can cause her to believe false flattery from the villains, so they can trick her into helping them with their evil schemes, only for her to realize the error of her ways too late. Cindy is very spoiled and has a large ego. She likes being the center of attention and will do anything for fame and money, even if it means constantly annoying people by reminding them how talented and beautiful she is. This only ever works to draw attention away from her talent and beauty, and instead towards her vanity. Sometimes, when things don't go Cindy’s way, she tries to make excuses to justify her actions in order to maintain the image she wants people to have of her. Libby Folfax and Britney Tenelli are Cindy's best friends and two of the only characters that she has shown very little anger or aggression towards in the franchise. Their friendship is very strong, and they are clearly very close, though it is made apparent that Libby is a closer friend to Cindy than Britney is. Libby and Britney are also two of the only characters that Cindy has been seen frequently confiding in.

personality (2)

Even though Cindy teases Jimmy, she does care about him a lot and doesn't like it when Jimmy is sad, always attempting to comfort him when he is at his lowest. Some perfect examples would be in the movie when she goes to comfort Jimmy after he began crying, and in Billion Dollar Boy when she finds out that Eustace Strych was just using her to hurt Jimmy to then have Jimmy watch Goddard die. Generally, Cindy's physical, mental and emotional abuse towards Jimmy is illustrated in a very teasing and secretly romantic way. While Cindy constantly makes fun of Jimmy's rumored nerdiness, she is a genius like him and loves science just as much as he does. Her IQ just isn't as big as his. Also, while her condescending attitude would suggest otherwise, she isn't any more popular with other kids than Jimmy is, and she has no close friends aside from Libby and Britney. Cindy frequently talks about her gender in a surprised way. She will act like it's a big surprise when boys ask her for help and explain that they actually values her opinion, as shown in Jimmy Timmy Power Hour: Part 1 when Timmy asks Cindy if she will help him with his science fair project. A similar example can be found in Jimmy on Ice when Cindy forces Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen to admit that girls are superior in all aspects of life if they want to swim in her pool. She appears to believe that girls are not "important" the way boys are. In Stranded, it’s revealed that she actually can be more open about herself when she's away from pressure, friends and competition and that she also may hold some bitterness toward her mother from pushing her so hard all the time and from her father not being around all the time.

relationship with Jimmy Neutron

Jimmy is Cindy's male counterpart, boyfriend and arch-rival. Since they are both geniuses, they have a strong competitive rivalry, and they act as if they dislike each other in front of peers to hide that they are crushing on each other. Despite this, Cindy does care about Jimmy and doesn't like it when Jimmy is sad and often tries to comfort him. Jimmy still sees Cindy as a friend because she's the one person who can keep him on his feet. As a result, their chemistry is a bit inconsistent. Towards the end of the series, Cindy begins to flirt with Jimmy, and she is often angry when he likes other girls, ignores her, takes credit for her ideas or blames her for his mistakes. In the third season, they get along when they are alone and pretend to argue only when others are around, but it's confirmed that they have always been attracted to each other. In Lady Sings the News, they’re revealed to have been dating secretly for a portion of the third season. In the next episode, Cindy finally openly reveals her feelings for Jimmy (sort of). In the planned season four, Jimmy and Cindy would've finally ended their fighting once and for all, since they would become an official couple before the series ended.

relationship with Timmy turner

In Jimmy Timmy Power Hour trilogy, Cindy develops a small crush on Timmy who everyone but her and Libby stupidly thought was Jimmy with a smaller head until they realize the truth near the end. Cindy also kissed Timmy on the cheek. In the second crossover special, Cindy and Jimmy were planning to go to the dance together, but Timmy's untimely arrival ruined it. Soon, Jimmy and Timmy started fighting over Cindy, which she allowed because she was happy to be getting attention, despite the trouble it was causing. In the third crossover, after learning that Cindy is on a family vacation, Jimmy and Timmy become fast friends and ignore Cindy when she returns. Her crush on Timmy seemed to end when he called her 'Debby' (named after Jimmy's voice actress, but her name was too similar) when she entered Jimmy's lab and when Timmy was the one to boot her out. While Cindy's feelings for Timmy are more open than her feelings for Jimmy, it's more of a crush than actual love and/or relationship, and the fact that during the last Power Hour and finale of the Jimmy Neutron series Cindy is already Jimmy's girlfriend and Timmy has pretty much forgotten about Cindy at this point and vice versa. Not to mention that Tootie eventually became Timmy’s girlfriend instead as shown in the movie “Grow Up Timmy Turner!”.

relationship with Nick Dean

Cindy had a crush on Nick in the movie and a portion of the first season and often tried to get his attention, only to constantly be sabotaged by Jimmy Neutron and his pranks. Her crush on Nick ended once and for all after Jimmy embarrassed Cindy in front of Nick in See Jimmy Run and Trading Faces. However, Cindy and Nick do remain friends after this, and they share fairly good chemistry.

relationship with Libby Folfax & Britney Tenelli

Libby is Cindy's best friend. Libby also shows a deep understanding of Cindy's actions and feelings and can tell when Cindy is lying. Libby also knows that Cindy has a crush on Jimmy Neutron and wants her to tell him how she feels. It is also shown that Cindy is aware that Libby likes Sheen. This says very much about the strength of their friendship, as Cindy is very guarded about her feelings, and doesn't allow many people to become close to her. Cindy likes Libby because she is loyal and a true friend to her. The two-share good chemistry. Britney is Cindy's other best friend. Even though Cindy and Britney don't hang out as much as Cindy and Libby do, they get along well and are good friends. Cindy likes Britney because she's ditsy, off-the-wall and the one person in their friend group who can make her feel smart, which Brittany doesn't notice and is usually confused by. Even though Cindy and Libby usually pick on Britney, they still love her and the three of them are close. The three of them share good chemistry.

relationship with Carl Wheezer and Sheen Estevez

Cindy seems to hate Carl and Sheen because of their stupidity and idiotic antics (Sheen in particular), while they seem to hate her because she's mean. Despite this, the three are part of Jimmy Neutron's team since he is best friends with Carl and Sheen and Cindy likes Jimmy. In fact, Cindy hates Carl a lot less than Sheen (due to Carl being less annoying) while Cindy's dislike of Sheen is more apparent as she is often irritated by Sheen's antics. At first, in the shorts, movie and early episodes, she mainly sees them as only Jimmy's goofy and annoying friends, nothing more. However, as time passes, she forms a sisterly bond with them; she'll still poke fun at Carl and Sheen now and then, but if anyone else tries to harm them, that individual will have her to answer to.
