According to Keith Alcorn, one of the show's directors, this witty, sharp-tongued, tae-kwon-do expert and river-stomping dancer plays James Isaac ("Jimmy") Neutron's aggressive arch rival as well as his secret crush. She expresses her crush on Jimmy by constantly insulting him.

Childhood

Cindy moved to Retroville in her early elementary years. She found herself the most respected and most intelligent person in class, a position in which she reveled. James Isaac "Jimmy" Neutron usurped this position when he moved into the house across the street from her whereupon Cindy, now second runner up, began to fight a losing battle to regain her crown as the smartest person in class.

Relationship with Jimmy

Cindy has, indeed, shown obvious but reluctant friendship with Jimmy whom she calls "Nerd-tron." In the first season, she "crushes" on Nick Dean, but on Jimmy in the second, nicknamed "The Relationship Season." Increasingly throughout the second season, the viewer observes a blossoming albeit odd romance between Jimmy and Cindy. At the end of said season, they equivocally (kind of but not quite) admit their true feelings while stranded on an uncharted island, in the thirty minute episode, Stranded". During the hour long special "The League of Villains", Cindy makes several attempts to confess her love to Jimmy only to be interrupted by someone or something or inadvertently to be ignored by Jimmy. It is also hinted that Jimmy has feelings for Cindy in "Billion Dollar Boy," when he agrees to accompany Eustace after Cindy shows that she kind of likes Eustace but Cindy later loathes Eustace after he says that he has no further use for "Neutron's squeeze". Season three is rich with what Jimmy and Cindy fans refer to as "J/C moments".

In "When Pants Attack," her panties are visible. The panties are a light pink with red polka-dots.

Cindy also knows when things are going too far. Increasingly, she is forced to authentic admission that Jimmy can indeed do some cool things and have cool adventures. During season three, as she starts to come to terms with her feelings for Jimmy, she mellows out; slowly dropping their rivalry, picking on Jimmy and his friends less and less, and by making several attempts to get Jimmy to notice her.

In the crossover with "The Fairly OddParents", "Jimmy Timmy Power Hour", Cindy develops a small crush on Timmy Turner who everyone else thinks is Jimmy with a smaller head. In the second crossover special, Jimmy starts to get jealous. However her feelings for Timmy, while more open, definitely aren't as strong as her love for Jimmy. In the third crossover, Jimmy and Timmy both ignored her.

Jimmy and Cindy, however, finally kissed in the season three episode, Lady Sings the News. However, he had kissed her previously in I Dream of Jimmy, although it was in Carl's dream world and for the purpose of affirming to Carl that it was a dream because there was "no way" that could ever happen in real life.
