Lindsey Thorndyke

Linsey Thorndyke (born Linsey Fair) is a beautiful famous actress and the mother of Chris Thorndyke by Nelson Thorndyke. She is 37 years old in Series 1 and 43 years old in Series 2, 170 cm (5ft 7in) tall, and her weight is secret. She is voiced by Naomi Shindoh in Japan, and Jennifer Johnson in the US.

Personality
As Chris's busy mother, she is rarely ever seen around her house. She is a very caring and kind mother who only wants what's best for her son. She has shown to be regretful of how her busy lifestyle constantly keeps her away from her son. Whenever they get together it usually isn't for very long and it has led her to believe that she is indeed a terrible mother on occasion.

In reality, Chris has been affected by her and her husband's absence more then even he was aware of. His refusal to see his friend Sonic the Hedgehog leave and go back home to his own world was mostly due to the thought process that he'd be losing another stem in his relationship with the people he liked. Lindsey and Nelson were just as oblivious to this as Chris was but made it better in the end when they remembered a special vacationing area they all used to visit when they seemed more like a normal family.

She is also very over-excitable and often takes things to the extreme. Some examples of this are when she sky-dives from a helicopter in order to land on the balcony of her house just so she could visit Chris over a small cold he had. She sometimes tends to act a bit oblivious to certain things as well. She's a terrible cook as shown in the episode where she was first shown visiting Chris. Her pancakes were so incredibly charred that they broke apart when lifted. Everything else on the breakfast table was virtually unidentifiable.

Role in the Anime
Her role in the Sonic X anime was a minimal but recognizable one. Due to her constant absence, Chris had developed unnoticeable problems dealing with separation and relationships. It wasn't resolved until the second to the last episode of season 2.

She is a movie star and is highly famous. She has made numerous appearances throughout the show despite being away on business. Her first appearance had her as the guest of honor at a party Chris held for her coming home. She had to leave before she was able to see it through however.

Other notable appearances include an episode where she had found a yellow Chaos Emerald and gave it to Cream simply because the color seemed to match. There was a time when Nelson Thorndyke, her husband, bought the purple Chaos Emerald from a jewelry shop and constructed a complicated plan to give it to her during one of her movie screenings for their anniversary. However, it was stolen by Eggman in the end.

One of her more notable movie screenings had them filming at a haunted house that was under the control of King Boom Boo and his minions, the Boom Boos.
