History: Cynthia was born and raised in Manhattan's Chinatown in a household containing her parents and both sets of grandparents. Sent to a private school in the upper eastside Cynthia lived what many consider a normal life.
Her life changed when Cynthia turned 13 while vacationing with her family in California. They were staying at the Yún Family's compound in Malibu with the rest of the extended Yún family. It was while playing with her cousins that her older cousin Jon (16) was demonstrating his skills in Wing Chun and he challenged her to do the same things he'd just done. Kwan as she's called among her family asked to see him perform his kata again as she watched intently. After her cousin Jon finished Cyn stepped up and performed almost flawlessly the moves he'd made.
Some of the older members of the family saw her perform and soon she found herself before Uncle Sang the patriarch of the family. He asked her to show him what the others had seen her do and as an obedient child she did as he asked.
Uncle Sang was delighted by what he saw and asked her parents to allow her to stay in California where he would see to her education and training. Cyn's parents were at first reluctant to part with their daughter but conceded to Uncle Sang in respect of his position in the family.
Cyn was nervous in uncle's presence at first as she'd always thought of him as the embodiment of a Dragon. Uncle Sang proved that though he was demanding of those members of the family he took interest in he was as well a kind an doting uncle as well if you pleased him.
Cyn soon became his favorite student as she quickly excelled at any physical task he assigned her, performing flawlessly all her forms she became a Master of the family style at 16. It was while training and attending tournaments in California's martial arts community that Cyn discovered that she could perform any form she saw after observing it only once.
Uncle Sang only allowed her to enter the various forms competitions because as an old fashioned man he believed the idea of women in public fights was vulgar. Cyn knowing that trying to change her uncle's mind was to move a mountain kept any disagreement to herself and did as he said.
At age 17 Cyn asked her Uncle if she could return to New York to live with her family once more to which he agreed. He told her that he was proud of her and that he knew that she would continue to make him proud.
Cyn moved back into New York where her family there welcomed her with tears an a party.
Cyn then enrolled in NYU taking business courses so that she could join the family business of Import&Export.
It was during her first year back that Cyn saw a group of students at her collage engaged in the art of Parkor (Free running) Cyn fell in love with the urban sport an was soon one of her groups most skilled traceuse (female practitioner). It was a wonderful way for her to expend the excess energy she always felt overflowing her body.
Graduating with a degree in business management Cyn went to work for the family business as a manager's assistant under her Cousin William at a dock side warehouse. She did her job as expected for six months and would have most likely been nothing more than an office worker for the rest of her life if not for fate.
While working late one night trying to complete an inventory Cyn heard shouting in the Warehouse though it should have been empty that night. So she went to investigate what was going on. She soon found the source of the shouting, it was her cousin William arguing with a man who seemed to be in charge of a group of six men who were in the process of loading a truck.. William was telling the smug man that he was taking too much and the man laughed an then back handed william sending him to the ground.
Cyn stepped out telling the man to get out of the warehouse which only made the thug grin as he walked towards her drawing a long knife. What happened next changed her goals as Cyn first defeated the leader then the men under him, cyn had never felt so alive.
From that day she couldn't sit idle as criminals tried to claim the city she'd grown up in.
