Cynthia Robinson's parents were killed in an automobile accident when she
was eight years old. However, she has been raised by her nanny, Mrs.
Sandra Jones, ever since. Mrs. Jones has watched the little girl
grow not only in size, but also in beauty and intelligence.
After the loss of her parents, Cynthia had only the memories of her own
family and the ownership of all of Sandstone Beach. When her great
grandparents bought the beach 50 years ago, they wanted to preserve its
natural beauty and to allow people to enjoy themselves without any hotels
to mess up the habitat. Through the toughest times, the beachfront
has taken the worst of everything well. From hurricanes to threatened
development, Sandstone Beach (now an historical landmark) is a great place
to go on vacation.
Cynthia cares very much for the safety and welfare of all animals, but
ther is much more to her than many people realize. She has been gifted
with the ability to communicate with all animals by telepathic means.
Her powers allow her to sense any animal in danger from very long distances,
"talk" to them, read their minds, and sense a dangerous animal approaching
to close to her or anyone within a mile of her.
She became Aquagirl after a mysterious encounter with the superhero Aquaman.
One day, she was hit from behind by a gang leader who wanted her off the
beach. She fell into the water unconscious, but her telepathy activated
by instinct. A dolphin was able to pick up her cry for help, and
it went to tell Aquaman. He, along with his friend Aqualad and their
mascot Tuskie came to her rescue. After their efforts drove the gang
off and got them captured by the authorities, Aquaman learned of Cynthia's
animal telepathy, which included sea creatures. When asked if she
wanted to help under the sea, she agreed to it and took the name Aquagirl.
The only problem was, she could not breathe underwater without special
equipment. The King of the Seven Seas solved that problem by giving
her a special formula which would allow her to breathe underwater.
The formula, designed by a noted Atlantean scientist named Dr. Luquo, contains
a strawberry taste. Each drop Cynthia takes in equals one hour of
being able to breathe underwater, giving her the chance to help Aquaman.
