Her parents, who separated when she was six, were unmarried; she later discovered that her father was actually married to another woman, with whom he had a child.

She seems proud of the fact that she's horrible at an early age, constantly running away. Some can be attributed to her unmarried parents--a wildly blunt single mother and an initially distant father who lives away with another women--but Minnie comes across as simply mean and rude.
