Cindy Slater

Cindy Slater was a neglected, yet sweet little girl born to Karla Matthews as Cindy Thompson. Being the youngest of four, she typically got the shit end of the stick. The small little girl found the greater meaning of everything, despite how she was treated at home.

She had a strong bond with her oldest sister, Madison Slater, who adopted her in 1978. Her new home life, away from her mother and two other sisters, was much better than before. Madison and her husband, Ron Slater, showed Cindy far more love than she had ever gotten from her birth mother. In fact, the three had a brilliant relationship from the start, back when Madison and Slater only just started dating.

Most of her life, Cindy was just the small little girl that people ignored. Why would such girl need attention anyway? Ironically, when her 'parents' and all their friends started having children of their own, things changed for Cindy. She became the oldest of the five and counting kids, being the one the parents looked to when a five-minute baby sitting job was needed or the one the younger kids looked up to. Cindy became the leader she always wanted to be, the leader she was meant to be.

Cindy is best friends with Rebecca O'Donnell's daughter, Charlotte O'Donnell. Just like parents Madison and Rebecca are best friends, their daughters are as well. Also becase of their parent's friendship, Cindy and Charlotte grew up to each other and think of one another as a younger or older sister. Though, there is roughly a five year age gap between the two, the girls are beyond close. Not only is Cindy thought of as Charlotte's best friend, she is also her role model. Charlotte wishes to be as much like Cindy as she can be, thinking that she is the best of the best.
