Biography[]

She was the head of The School for Lovely Little Ladies in London, England. She was present when Sara Crewe arrived there with her father before he went to war. While she welcomed Sara to the school, she was both confused and upset about Sara's constant positivity, and was very strict and mean to her, even after Sara's father died. But Miss Minchin's cold-hearted attitude didn't lower Sara's spirits, nor did it stop her from imagining and believing that God loves her no matter what. This infuriated Miss Minchin even further, especially after hearing that Mister Carisford would adopt Sara after he had recovered her father's fortune. At the end, she presumably gets fired for her actions while Miss Ameila takes her place.

Personality[]

Miss Minchin is a harsh and strict woman. She is very cruel and especially hates Sara because of her optimistic attitude.
