Cindy Lennox

It's finished, at last. But I'm out of a job...

Cindy Lennox was a waitress at J's Bar in Raccoon City. She's a helpful, service-oriented person who always thinks of other people first. Being accustomed to the harsh realities of society, she never loses her cool, even in extreme situations.

Personality
Cindy is a cheery and helpful member of the survivor group and has been dubbed the group's medic.

Cindy tends to get along with everyone, and even though Jim Chapman's and Alyssa Ashcroft's constant whining may grate upon her at times, you'd never know it by her cheerful disposition. Kevin Ryman seems to visit J's Bar often and the two seem to get along quite well despite his failed attempts at flirting. However, she doesn't seem to get along with David King very well due to his bad temper and that David doesn't seem to care about her. Her relationship with Will is left rather ambiguous, although it is implied in Will's Diary that he held some intimacy toward her.

Her SP items and reactions to situations portray Cindy as unapologetically "girly" and also rather pleasant. She is fond of collecting stuffed animals, buying clothes, playing the piano, trying new beauty treatments, and gardening. (A possible explanation to why she carries around a "Herb Case" as a unique item.) They also portray her as decidedly conservative such as her reactions to the Funny Bunny SP items. This is a strong contrast to the fact she is able to wear the items she herself is objecting to.

Cindy is depicted as an extremely intelligent, and well-rounded individual. Evident in her poetic epilogue for each scenario, and her ability to articulate herself and her emotions rather effectively to those around her.

She never swears or uses a term any stronger than "meanie." Her endings show that she is rapidly becoming accustomed to the realities of her situation. Her optimism remains undiminished by the outbreak itself.

After Raccoon City
After the Raccoon City Incident, Cindy settled into her new life by buying a new house. She accepted that everything she had in Raccoon City was now gone, and looked forward to a brighter future.

Because of her actions as medic to the group of survivors during the Outbreak, Cindy could possibly be thinking to start a new career in medicine.

Appearance & Wardrobe
During the Outbreak, Cindy is seen as a tall, thin, attractive white-blonde young woman. She wears her J's Bar uniform, consisting of a blue and white striped shirt with a blue low-cut vest and a medium length black skirt with black high-heels. She wears her hair in a ponytail.


 * Type:B: On Vacation: Cindy wears a casual outfit consisting of khaki pants, a light blue shirt with sunglasses hanging on the collar, and black high-heeled strap sandals. She wears her hair in a low ponytail.
 * Type:C: Funny Bunny: Cindy wears a Playboy Bunny-esque type of outfit complete with black strapless one-piece, bow tie, cuffs, seamed fishnets, black high heels, and bunny ears and tail. Her hair is in a tight bun.

Inventory
Personal Item: Herb Case

The Herb Case lets Cindy store three specimens of every type of known herb, and has an extra compartment for mixing herbs, as well. Her attention to detail and green thumb make Cindy the consummate medic of the survivor group. Cindy is at heart a very caring individual, and the untimely death of her co-worker, Will, weighs heavily upon her.

Extra Item (Outbreak File 2 Only):' Bandage'

Cindy's trusty makeshift bandage can stop bleeding caused by enemy attacks. She can also staunch the bleeding of her friends as she carries them to safety.

Special Actions

 * Duck: Cindy can duck to avoid attacks. It stops zombies for 5 seconds, which gives her the time to counter attack or to run away. In File #2, if Cindy is holding somebody, if you then press R1, not only Cindy will duck but the other person will imitate the duck. Unfortunately, performing this action will cause Cindy to let go of the injured teammate.


 * Aid: Cindy can aid people with the herbs from her herb case. File #2 has the added benefit of being able to aid an injured teammate while she is holding them.

Trivia

 * If you don't pick Cindy as your character or ally in the Wild Things scenario, Cindy will be trampled to death by Oscar as soon as you enter the Zoo.
 * Cindy can receive a sub-machine gun from the dying guard on the roof of the hospital during The Hive scenario. While disoriented, he mistakes Cindy for his significant other, Maggie.
 * Cindy is the only character who can find the Herb Pie Recipe file during the Wild Things scenario.
 * Cindy is the only character who can access her locker in the Outbreak scenario.
 * She can play the piano, which may be a reference to Jill in the first game.
 * Cindy may be one of the most religious protagonists in the series, as seen in her ad libs, especially during The End Of the Road scenario when she is shouldering Linda or if the player is nearing the rescue helicopter during the countdown.
