Cynthia is Angelica Pickles' favorite doll on Rugrats, a parody of the Barbie doll.
Cynthia's name possibly comes from the British doll, "Sindy". Angelica's doll is known for wearing the same orange dress with red stripes, a black belt with a yellow buckle and red shoes. The doll has an odd hairstyle, most likely because Angelica cut it. Cynthia is nearly bald except for four bunches of hair on the sides of her head and three long hairs sticking out on the right side of her head.
Cynthia is Angelica's best friend and favorite toy. Seeing as how Drew and Charlotte are often too busy with work to spend any actual time with Angelica, and given Angelica's mean and bossy personality, she has a hard time getting along with other kids and has very little actual friends (outside of the other Rugrats, especially Susie Carmichael), Cynthia's probably the closest Angelica has to an actual friend--she even talks to Cynthia like she's a human. Angelica tries over excessively to buy anything related to her. She at one point tried tricking her dad into buying another Cynthia doll, but still intended on keeping her old doll. Angelica loves Cynthia deeply, as she sees her as her own comfort. The very idea of losing Cynthia horrifies her at times, as shown in "Down the Drain", in which she accidentally flushed Cynthia down the toilet, and in "Tricycle Thief", in which she fought to keep her innocence so the babies wouldn't let Cynthia go after tying her to Chuckie's balloon. Also, in "The Seven Voyages of Cynthia", Angelica told Tommy she would hurt anyone who takes her doll.
According to Angelica, she water skis, drives a car, is an astronaut, loves brushing her hair, likes shoes, wants to marry a prince and both be mayors, and has always wanted a pony. In the Cynthia Workout song she can dance and make omelettes.
By the time she's thirteen in All Grown Up!, Angelica's obviously outgrown the habit of carrying Cynthia around with her everywhere and talking to her like a real person, but she still cares very much about the doll, even not making her room, "Teenage-like", just for her old doll who she has carried so many memories with the past ten years.
Cynthia has peach skin and white eyes with black pupils. She is mostly bald except for four bunches of blonde hair on the sides of her head as well as two long hairs on the right side of her head. The doll wears an orange dress with red stripes and a black belt with yellow buckle.
When the actual Cynthia doll is shown, she is intended to have long voluminous blonde hair.
