Before the Crash

• Appears to be of Australian origin
• Was in the tail section of the airplane.
• Gary Troup was in love with her and dedicated his novel Bad Twin to her.
  • Therefore she knew about the Hanso corporation because Gary's book was about it; she might have read it.
  • Was also named as the flight attendant in the book when Paul Artisan (lead character in 'Bad Twin') gets on an Oceanic flight to Sydney.
• Was a flight attendant on Oceanic Flight 815 (Image at Humpys.net) in the pilot episode.
• Had a short conversation with Jack during the flight, gave him extra drinks
• Chased down Charlie when he ran to the toilet just before the plane crash
• Was mentioned by Gary Troup during his online serial interview as the girl who changed his mind about marriage (tape 7 of 9).

On the Island

• Lived in The Arrow.
• Disappeared when the Tailies were trying to move the gravely ill Sawyer up a steep hill using a "stretcher" fashioned from two branches and other plant materials.
• Last seen at the bottom of the incline, handing a stick to Libby. Noticed as missing when the whispers started.
• Ana-Lucia believes the Others took her.
• Incorrectly suggested Nathan was not on the plane, claiming to have a talent for remembering the faces of passengers, yet she did not recognize Jin, Michael and Sawyer and failed to realize Goodwin wasn't on the plane.

Theories

• She's another mole for the Others, a possible connection to the outside world. Theorized to be a DHARMA recruiter. This could be because she was not on the list and yet was still taken after Goodwin died (so couldn't relay anymore messages on who to take to the Others). There was also no struggle and no-one even noticed when she was taken.
• She somehow initiates the whispers.
• In league with Goodwin. She helped him by throwing blame onto Nathan.
• Note the similarity to the surnames of Marvin Candle/Mark Wickmund. A "chandler" is a candle-maker.
• The Widmore pregnancy test was hers.
  • She suspects she's pregnant with Gary Troup's baby...

On the Internet

• Gary Troup's book Bad Twin is dedicated to Cindy his "highest flying angel". Troup is said to have been "completely smitten" with her. In the same biography of Troup Cindy's surname is given as Chandler.
  • This surname is quite possibly an homage to Raymond Chandler, the mystery writer whose style is borrowed from in Bad Twin.

Unanswered Questions

• What happened to her when she was taken, and why?
