Mini McGuinness

Minerva "Mini" McGuinness is a fictional character from the third generation of the British teen drama Skins, played by Freya Mavor. She appears in the fifth and sixth series. Character Mini is Scottish and considered the queen bee at Roundview College. She describes herself as "the sweetest girl you will ever meet", but the sweetness is shown to be a façade; Mini will do anything to develop her social power. Mini claims that her four favorite things are: "Shopping. Footwear. Sushi. Sex. (And yes, always in that order)." Despite her confident exterior, she is insecure and self-conscious about her weight, so she is seen carefully weighing her food before eating. According to Mavor, "Mini is quite a feisty figure; she's the top dog of the school... or at least she likes to think she is. She's witty, and she likes people to hear her opinion. She likes to stir things up, test people and manipulate things around her to see what would happen, but I don't think she means to do bad. She doesn't think about the consequences of her actions a lot of the time, though." Much of the fifth series deals with Mini slowly losing her power, as Franky Fitzgerald's arrival threatens her relationship with her best friends Grace Blood and Liv Malone. She also deals with the dissolution of her relationship with her boyfriend Nick Levan, as he develops feelings for Liv. As the series progresses, she develops a closer friendship with Franky, eventually starting to become a mother figure to her.
