Nurture and Mistys

It is possible that Tammys, Mandys, and Courtneys are all born with some inherent qualities that lead them to whom they will become, but Mistys aren't born Mistys- they are created. Most Mistys start out as Mandys and undergo a series of disappointments/failures until they slowly realize, but never truly accept, that there is no God. The tragedies Mistys undergo can include alcoholic parents, sexual abuse, accidental deaths, and poverty- but the most common, and most devastating, way Mandys are turned into Mistys is through the systematic failure of a restricted diet. No one arrives as sad as Misty; it's the years of cucumbers, apples, and black coffee sans results that creates the monster.
