Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Grew Up... constantly hounded by men because of her beauty. Cindy was a pre-med student, where she was involved with a jock named Bobby before meeting Dean – who quite literally swept her off her feet.

Living… with her husband Dean, and their five-year-old daughter, Frankie. Cindy's quite unhappy with her life and unable to pinpoint exactly why. She wants Dean to apply himself more professionally, while he wants nothing more than to take care of his family. Cindy loves her daughter dearly, but she's not willing to just play and joke around with her – for example, it irks her when Frankie wakes her up, even if it is with hugs and kisses.

Profession… nurse at a doctor’s office. Her boss is protective of her and plans to promote her. The doctor, and everyone else at the office, knows that Dean might have a drinking problem, and see him as a burden to Cindy.

Interests… her career and the pursuit of happiness. True happiness is a difficult thing to master, however, and Cindy still has a lot of work to do to get there.

Relationship Status… married to Dean. They try to be romantic together, but much of their passion has fizzled out. She’s not a young girl anymore, and it takes a lot more than good looks and manliness to impress her.

Challenge… changing Dean. If she can make Dean give up drinking and start doing a job he actually enjoys, many of her problems will be solved. It’s not a cure-all to their troubled relationship, but it could be a start.

Personality… defensive and cynical. Cindy leaves Dean to do most of the leg work, while she waits for things to change. Dean insists that, “You just gotta give me a chance to get better,” but Cindy is tired of putting up with everything.
