Cynthia Brisby
Look at how Cynthia has grown!
The youngest daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth Brisby has finally matured to adulthood, at least physically.
Don’t get me wrong, she is as smart as anything, but she sure retained her childhood tendencies towards mischief and pranks. Being endowed with an innate cheerfulness this spinster of a mouse lives life to the fullest each day. Cynthia’s sunny disposition goes much to the chagrin of people who cherish their own “grumpiness”, Mr. Ages and Brutus usually being the foremost.
Cynthia now works in the Thorn Valley gardens and the infirmary. She likes to grow things and doesn’t really care what some of the Rats say about her working in a “menial profession”. She helps brew up ointments and is not really a bad “field medic” either.
On and off she gets asked by Mr. Ages to go out into the forests to bring back certain samples. It is creepy how this chipper mouse always manages to find exactly what she is told to get. In many cases she doesn’t even know the names of the fungi and mosses she is supposed to collect.
The final straw is that Cynthia appears to have an innate sense of location. She always knows where she is. And trying to sneak up on her his nigh impossible.
Just try to jump up behind her and go “Boo!” and you’ll find out.
