Biography
Early life
Cynthia was nine years younger than Alice. Despite the age difference, however, Cynthia and Alice were very close. Her father, Edgar John Brandon, was a jeweler whose work kept him away from home for days at a time, so their mother, Lillian Brandon, took care of Alice and Cynthia. Her father remarried within six months after the passing of her mother, and her stepmother, Anna-Marie Brandon, treated her like a favorite while treating Alice very coldly. For this reason, she remained in the dark about her sister's discoveries of the mystery behind their mother's death. After Alice was locked up in a mental asylum and became a vampire, Cynthia married and had a daughter.
She had since passed away, but her daughter is still alive in Biloxi.
She is portrayed by Audrey Smallman in the short film The Storytellers: The Mary Alice Brandon File.
