Mindy Minus is the most popular girl in school of the series 100 Things to Do Before High School. She serves as the secondary antagonist of the first episode, but in the rest of the series, she is the main antagonist. She is portrayed by Brady Reiter.
About
Background
Mindy is the most popular and beautiful girl at Pootatuck Middle School. She has a crush on Crispo, as seen in the episodes that she appears in.
Appearance
Mindy has blonde hair and hazel eyes. Her trademark is pink, as she is known to wear a lot of pink clothing, which CJ says is one of her hobbies.
Personality
Mindy is the mean, popular girl of Pootatuck. She can be rude, bossy, demanding, selfish, and snobby. She takes great joy in putting others below her level and letting everyone know that she is the queen of the school. Aside from the faculty, Mindy rules the school with iron fist. In "Say Yes to Everything for a Day Thing!", the members of the Sword and Stones club describe her insults as the "wicked words of fire" (referencing how Mindy is considered the Dragon of Pootatuck) and weren't even willing to repeat them because of how hurtful Mindy's words were. When Fenwick went to talk to her, Mindy delivered an insult so offensive and humiliating that it was censored out with a dragon's roar, and it left Fenwick stunned with his mouth wide open. Mindy is used to getting what she wants, no matter what it takes or who she has to manipulate in order to get it. What she wants is Crispo, and Mindy frequently tricks him into being her boyfriend while simultaneously making sure that CJ and Fenwick don't get in the way. Crispo knows that she doesn't really like him, and that she wants him just because he's the most popular boy in school. Due to her status, people often treat her like royalty, such as clearing out of the way whenever she walks down the hall or the Vortex crowding to her whenever she snaps her fingers. Despite her reputation as the blonde popular girl, Mindy is also exceptionally smart; in some episodes, she is shown to be almost as dedicated to her grades as Fenwick is. She does have a softer side to her, which is seen when she tries to cheer up a sad Crispo in "Have the Best Halloween Ever Thing!" and thanks and hugs CJ in "Sit at a Different Lunch Table Thing!" after CJ helps her.
