Misty, who has the exterior of a Mandy and the interior of a Tammy, is the sad clown hybrid. Misty’s outside appearance of optimistic Mandyness exists to hide her inside hopelessness. Unlike Courtney, who is actually just being herself when she calls kittens “mother fucking cute”, Misty’s identity is based on a denial of parts of herself. Misty wants so much to be a Mandy, but is held back by her embarrassing fear that there is no reason to live. Misty is not a closeted Tammy because her identity is too engrained in the denial of Tammyness to ever embrace its freedom. Mistys are naturally prone to joining fundamentalist religions/ hating Harry Potter because they actually fear god does not exist.
Mistys are the people who look like Mandys but who are pained or angry in the eyes.

Mom?.... Mom!
i'm concerned because it seems like, in the case of the hybrids, the exterior dictates behavior as much as--if not more than--the interior. for instance, courtney, who just LOOKS like tammy, is profane, tough, and self-determining. misty, who just looks like mandy, is (generally) polite, timid, and self-doubting. is it true that exterior appearance is that much of a determinant in the hybrid, and, if so, how is it possible to accurately assess the interior status?
exteriors are appearance, way of behaving, and attitude. interior is how they view their existence in relation the rest of the world and, essentially, if they believe in god and hope.
so don't be concerned
thanks, sissy. i needed that clarification on the role of the exterior. tammy and mandy is complicated sometimes!
