Cynthia Gooblegins

Early Life
Cynthia was born in Tiatua to unknown parents, and she reports to have led a mostly uneventful life running around doing odd just to help her family. In her spare time she is said to have been very sociable and communal, often greeting new and younger citizens. She was also prone to reading, travelling up to the Terrojan library very frequently to find books and learn, which instilled a love of writing in her. As she grew older, she began to learn about the politics of Montroig, and soon became an avowed socialist and nationalist.

Personal Life
Outside of her constant work, Cynthia is known to write, especially fiction, but has never published anything. She also spends time with her wife and family, the Gooblegins, and frequently goes to parties and other gatherings.

Political Views
Cynthia considers herself a nationalist and a socialist, which are her two primary political axis. She also sees herself as a materialist that also values the ideals of Montroig such as democracy and equity. This has put her in contention with those who seek independence, because while she also seeks independence for Montroig, she also believes that an idealistic headrush towards that will destroy her nation.

Furthermore, she chooses to not join political parties, but is open to working with them. She is a self-described progressive, believing that Montroig needs to experiment and adapt in order to grow and thrive, which has put her in contention with even more of her contempories who seek to keep Montroig mostly as is.

Бas
Cynthia is credited for being the first major figure to support Бas, the spiritual philosophy that originated in Montroig and pushes for notions of community service, syndicalism, and the responsiblity of the individual to the group.

Cafe
Cynthia opened up two cafes, one in New Baldia and one in Tiatua. They are still in operation today.

Political Career
As she entered adult hood, Cynthia decided to get involved in Montroigan politics directly. She ran against FaelYeey as the incumbent Minister of Resources in October 2021, and won. From there, she won two more terms in the following months before taking off in the January of 2022 to prepare for the Guardian elections.

Most of Cynthia's most notable contributions come from her second and third terms. In her second term she focused on angling resource production towards the civil war effort, and in her third term she opened up several farms in Terroja as well as a public storage and distribution center in the city. Beyond the context of her Ministership, she is also credited with writing most of the New Constitution of Montroig, held a short term as Justice where she oversaw the Caterina v Montroig case, and has moderated a Guardian debate.

Involvement in the Uldarash Civil War
Just one day after the coup of Caterina, Cynthia sat at a High Council meeting due to the current Guardian and Vice Guardian being occupied. It was there she de-escalated the situation and avoided an immediate war, while also learning that if Montroig declared independence they would be invaded by Uldarash. After this situation she prepared for her wedding, asking Empress Nikephoros to ordain it. It was at this wedding that an unknown assailant attacked Nikephoros. Believing this to be a Loyalist assination attempt, Nikephoros declared war on the Loyalist, and by proxy Montroig. From there, she worked as Minister of Resources to supply the Loyalists. During the Battle of Terroja, she went off the radar and robbed parts of Fornost, for which she was reprimanded. After the battles of Hapatmitas and Coolio City, though, she decided to enlist and train to fight. For this, she was placed under the tutleage of Renmitsu, who oversaw her training, but she was never able to see combat due to the war closing after her enlistment.
