Cynthia is the former League Champion of the Sinnoh Pokémon League, enjoying an early retirement after lighting the world on fire with her indomitable battling prowess. She fondly remembers her time as the face of Pokémon battling in her region but is content to have lost her title as gracefully as she has, as the responsibilities of being the League Champion have always gotten in the way of what mattered to her most: Pokémon, their history, and the connections they make with humans.
