Missy is the only child of Zachary and CiCi Winthrop. She was the hopeful ingenue attracted to his status as a well respected psychiatrist and he was the hopeless womanizer. Her parents eventually divorced when she was four on grounds of adultery and irreconcilable differences. CiCi left her in the care of Zachary and his mistress, Agatha, who promptly moved in and soon became Wife Number Two.
Five years later Agatha became Ex Wife Number Two. Women came and went in the household but none of them were officially moved in. She regarded her father as a lonely man desperately seeking love rather than a man desperately seeking gratification. To try and fill the perceived void in some capacity, she made sure she always had a smile and affection for the man.
With no motherly figure to help her through her teen years, Missy grew to be a lonely and awkward teen. She retreated into her fridge and her library more than books. She gained weight and was always an outsider in high
school, more of a cupcake queen than a beauty queen.
After high school she realized that she needed to get her act together. She was unhealthy and unhappy. She begged her father to send her to a fat camp where she lost thirty pounds. She dropped the glasses and got contacts, got braces, and in college she was a whole knew Missy.
The problem with being a loner in high school is that you still see the overweight girl in the mirror when you get up in the morning. She had a good personality, lots of witty thoughts in her head, but every time she went up to someone...she still felt like that fat girl in high school that no one wanted to be around.
She kept to herself, kept her head down, and got her college degree. After that...she decided that a change of scenery would be the best thing. She packed up her things, said goodbye to her father and his L.A apartment and moved to the east coast. Trading one beach for another and getting her own crappy apartment and a job at the hospital there.
Personality
Missy notices plenty of the bad things in life but steadfastly refuses to acknowledge them. This is particularly pertinent when it comes to negative aspects of her own life; she will try to put a positive spin on them, absolve others and find fault with herself or simply attempt to forget about them.
Missy gets swept up in things. Things that spark her curiosity are likely to be questioned and the answers believed. She often fails to see that others may not be genuine or manipulating her. There is an exploitable innocence to her.
Ignoring all that negativity takes it toll and manifests itself in periods of melancholy that Missy can't quite explain. The feelings bother her and rather than let them out, she pushes them down and keeps on smiling. However, the cracks in the relentlessly cheery act show in her being more subdued or retreating from others.
Despite her bubbly exterior, Missy's sense of self esteem is not that great. Things seem to have a nasty habit of going wrong and she blames herself. While she tries to be a good person, her perceived failings make her doubt herself. Somehow she's not good enough to make things right, and perhaps bad things happen to her for a reason.
