Bitter, angry, resentful, disgusted, unimpressed, bored, hurtful, selfish

Melinda never shared her father's sense of superiority, because he was a Mystic Artist. Nor did she share her father's shamelessness to use his abilities for monetary profit. He was a macabre painter, but the secret was that whatever he thought in his mind to paint, that image was automatically painted on the canvas before him. He was a fraud. Melinda acted out her hate and disgust at him by despising all Mystic Art, including herself and her own. She starved herself. The more her father begged her to eat, the more she enjoyed starving herself. But he never changed his deceptive ways, to the point where Melinda couldn't stand the sight of him and so she ran away from home. However, her shortsighted, immature anger at her father hit home when she found herself alone in Post Haste. Someone had stolen her money. It was only when she got hurt and was healed by another Mystic Artist, did Melinda have to start changing her thinking. But it was hard, and she hated Valentine because he was a Mystic Artist. Try as she might, though, he wouldn't leave her alone. Soon, what started as hatred began to change into something nicer.
