'''Cynthia Amaris''' was ruler of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] in the early [[twenty-eighth century]].

==History==
Upon [[President of the Rim Worlds Republic|President]] [[Selanta Amaris]]'s death in [[2687]], an attempted coup by [[Gregor Siever]] left her son [[Bertram Amaris|Bertram]] dead before he could be sworn into office. [[Carl Siever]], second in the line of succession, became president as there were no other adult members of [[House Amaris]] or [[House Siever]] directly in line for the presidency. Within a few years, the dehumanizing toughness of politics, paranoia, and his own guilt weighed heavily on him, and when Selanta's granddaughter Cynthia came of age around [[2695]], he resigned and handed the reins to her.<ref name=P1ep50/>

Cynthia Amaris dedicated herself to the rule of the Republic to the point she did not marry until after she was forty years old, causing concern that House Amaris might face a succession crisis after her death. Her only child, [[Stefan Amaris|Stefan]], was born in [[2717]] and groomed by her to rule. He succeeded Cynthia in becoming the Republic's president in [[2738]] when he was only twenty-one years of age.<ref name=P1ep50/><ref name=H:LoTV1p61>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', pp. 60-61</ref>
