Cindy Monroe
Cindy grew up as a fairly awkward teenager but desired the same things as other teenage girls want – a degree of acceptance and attention. When she was finished with high school she moved on to college where she hoped to put her past behind her by joining a sorority. The sense of acceptance was fleeting though as the girls in her sorority treated her the same way that she had always been treated, with ridicule and exclusion. After the first such incident she ran away crying. She soon attends a lecture given by a guest lecturer who was in fact Sela. She tells the story of Cinderella albeit a slightly darker one more in line with the actual fairy tale. In this version Cinderella makes a deal with the fairy godmother in exchange for her soul. This version of Cinderella also wishes that her step-mother and step-sisters be killed, a fate to which they succumb (violently.) As this was the period when Sela was being influenced by Belinda’s trickery, Cindy takes the wrong message out of this and seeks revenge.
