Cynthia Bates is a feisty, intense woman with a lot of spontaneity and a grey moral compass. To her, the ends justify the means. She acts irritable, defensive, and closed-off to hide the grief she feels over losing her two sons prematurely. As the vice CEO of a media giant known as the Arlo-Bates Company, she works alongside her husband Arlo Robinson, on a cartoon called "Don't Do Danger!" However, behind the scenes she hides a dark secret - and she will stop at nothing to secure her goals.
