Description

An orphan living on the streets of 22nd Century Huston, young Cindy had three assets going for her: her stunning beauty, her extreme work ethic, and her disturbingly passive nature. It didn’t take long for life to figure out what kind of job Cindy was suited for. By age 19, Cindy had spent most of her live as a drug-addicted stripper and prostitute at the Tremaine Brothel, taking daily abuse from her employer and customers. Cindy hid behind the passive smile that her drugs brought on, until even the high couldn't contain her pain anymore. It was when she was collapsed into tears after a particularly horrific night that the Godmother appeared. The female mob boss offered Cindy everything she wanted and more--for a price, obviously. 

Overnight, Cindy had a new job and a new body. Her drug-destroyed body was given a makeover, and a variety of technological upgrades: jacked up muscles and reflexes; a brain-implant giving her a photographic memory; and mechanical eyes complete with night visios, X-ray vision and a digital clock. And at any time she wants, Cindy can press a button under the skin of her hand, and hide all of her upgrades, making her appear to be an unoticable regular person. 

My god. She’s not just a hooker, she’s a transformer!

But Cindy's favorite new asset is a pair of antigravity boots--so far, the only pair of their kind, and made to fit only Cindy. If anyone else attempts to put them on, the boots will sense the wrong DNA and barbecue the theif's feet. 

But as mentioned before, the transformation comes with a price. Working under the name Cyberella, Cindy is now the Godmother’s assassin, bodyguard, soldier for hire, spy, and all-around errand girl. If she is so much as one minute late for a job, the Godmother temporarily takes away one of her powers as punishment with the flip of a switch. If Cindy ever tries to run away, the Godmother can flip as swithc back home and shut down all of Cindy's powers--and that's if she's feeling merciful. It's also possible for the Godmother to make Cindy's upgrades overload...and all that that implies. But Cindy is starting to fight back, having programmed an army of tiny mouse robots to search the city and the Godmother's lair for anything that might help her break free. 

I DID NOT DRAW THE BACKGROUND. It's made out of photoshopped pictures from Google. The window Cindy is walking on is from "Cool World."

Anyway. I'm not a fan of Disney's Cinderella. I like other versions of the story, but this one is the epitimy of Mary Sue, IMO. So I decided to parody the Cindy's Suevian traits in this AU. 

Appropriately, this cyberpunk sue is inspired by a little bit of everything. Cyberella's eyes were inspired by both Blind Mag from "Repo! The Genetic Opera" and Molly's lenses from "Neuromancer." The clear jacket comes from "Blade Runner;" the antigrav-powers are "the Matrix," "Ultroviolet," and maybe every other cyberpunk ever made. I suppose there's some "Robo Cop" in her story (never seen the movie). And the rest of her story is, of course, Gibsonean (coining the phrase now!). 

I do not own Disney's Cinderella, or any of the cyberpunk works referenced here.
