Personality[]

Cindy like most of her colleagues was utterly shocked at the news of the arrival of the Martians. Though after the initial shock passed, she followed her establishment's view in capitalizing on the novelty of the aliens' arrival by selling Martian theme drinks and souvenirs. Once seeing the Martian delegation on television, she was aghast at their ugly appearance.

Later on when after the Martian cultural misunderstanding in the Nevada desert, she found herself enjoying the aftermath as she always got huge tips during national disasters, displaying a practical attitude. At first the prospect of war with the Martians did not appear to bother her and she carried on with her job, though she displayed a greedy side as she was known to water drinks to her clientele even during the end of the world.

Later on Cindy received a jolt to reality when the Martians attacked her casino making her panic on the situation, causing her mind to not think properly. Still Cindy was loyal to her friends, and chose to follow her long-time co-worker Byron and refused to leave him behind to deal with the Martians alone until she capitulated to his order to escape.
