As one of the titular characters of Ginny & Georgia, a lot of the show's story is devoted to Ginny and her development. She goes through several phases as she grows and gets to know her new home of Wellsbury, Massachusetts. Being biracial and finding herself in a new environment, she often feels torn between two worlds, which shows in her transformation throughout the season.

Ginny starts out wearing plain clothes and no makeup, but when she joins MANG, she becomes more and more like them, beginning with her appearance. She also adopts their mannerisms and catchphrases. Parallel to this storyline is her transformation to become someone who uncannily resembles a younger Georgia. Ginny makes some terrible choices, but she's also treated poorly by her peers. Her duality is reflected in everything, including viewers' reactions to her character.

FELT BAD: People Mess Up Her Hair

Ginny Holds Up Her Hair In Front Of The Bathroom Mirror in Ginny and Georgia

When Max tries to touch Ginny's face at their first meeting, Ginny draws back. "Oh, sorry," Max says. "Is that like when white girls touch Black girls' hair?" Ginny is left speechless, and feeling awkward because Max is someone she's just met. Similarly, when the girls want matching ponytails at Sophomore Sleepover, Ginny is hesitant. "We have to look the same for Insta!" Norah exclaims. Max chimes in, "Don't be a b**** like Abby with her jeans."

Ginny succumbs, but her hair doesn't cooperate. Abby snickers behind her back while she flees to the bathroom, where she finds Marcus. He jokes about her hair, to which she responds, "Why is everyone so obsessed with my hair? Worry about your own hair." Later, Ginny is annoyed when others judge her for what she does to her hair on Halloween and her birthday, never permitted to be fully in control of her own decisions about her appearance.

HATED: She's Rude To Marcus

Even before Ginny gets to know Marcus, she is unnecessarily rude to him. The first time they talk, she treats him with hostility. This continues for much of the season; when he shows up at Blue Farm, she asks him what he wants, as if buying coffee is illegal; at the Halloween fair, she isn't receptive to his efforts to be nice to her. He's visibly put off, while her behavior resembles Max's.

To be fair, Marcus often shows up uninvited, so her outrage at him climbing through her bedroom window is warranted, even if she does cruelly dismiss his declaration of love on one such occasion, leaving Marcus almost in tears. However, at Sophomore Sleepover, her dismissal is unfair. Marcus questions her assumption that people don't have problems if they live in Wellsbury.

FELT BAD: Marcus Takes Advantage Of Her Emotions

Marcus Leans In Close to Ginny in Ginny And Georgia

While Ginny can be rude to Marcus, he often takes advantage of her. The first time they meet, he knows she's new and will do anything to fit in, so he teases her about the fictitious band "Wednesday". Later, in Max's room, he intentionally makes her feel uncomfortable, knowing she will be attracted to him. He embarrasses her and leaves her powerless in these initial interactions.

After their relationship has developed, he climbs through her window hoping to hook up. After taking the morning after pill following their first time, she's emotional and grateful for his attempts to comfort her - until he kisses her and insensitively asks, "You already took Plan B, right? That lasts for another day, at least." Distraught, she orders him to leave her room, then starts crying. She already has no idea what she's doing, since these are first-time experiences for her, and Marcus only frustrates and upsets her.

HATED: She Lies To Hunter

Hunter is just one of the people Ginny is lying to, but he's probably the most important; he's the only person who isn't lying to her, too. Though she keeps her relationship with Marcus a secret from everyone, Hunter is the only one she's cheating on. When Hunter learns of her relationship with Marcus, he's upset, betrayed, and angry.

For the most part, he treats Ginny well, far better than Marcus does, and he didn't deserve to be lied to or to be her second choice when Marcus didn't want a girlfriend. Ginny leads him on because having a boyfriend is cool, and she often uses Hunter to make Marcus jealous, which is unfair after everything Hunter tries to do for her.

FELT BAD: She Can't Tell Max About Marcus

Though lying about her relationship with Marcus may not be the best thing for everybody, Ginny has her reasons for keeping it secret. For one thing, she's too afraid to ruin her friendships by telling the truth. This suggests that her new "friends" wouldn't be understanding of her situation, even though she interacts with Marcus before any of the others.

Later, Marcus tells Max that it's no wonder Ginny was afraid to tell her about them because she doesn't have boundaries. Because of Max's self-absorption, Abby's cruelty, and Georgia's tendency to blow things up, Ginny feels alone, unable to confide in anyone without fearing that her friends will abandon her.

HATED: She's Rude To Her Mom

Georgia may not be the best role model for her kids, but she does a lot for them - far more than they'll ever understand. Ginny is ungrateful and she often likes to show her resentment towards Georgia.

Ginny insults her mom, tries to guilt-trip her, and complains about her to anyone who will listen. Georgia can be very compassionate with Ginny, and she truly wants to know what's going on with her and why, but Ginny tries her best to drive Georgia away. It's unfair of her to treat her mother that way, especially when Ginny herself hasn't made the best choices.

FELT BAD: In Mr. Gitten's Class

Mr. Gitten constantly singles Ginny out, making assumptions about her based on her race. The first time he meets her, he assumes she won't be able to keep up in his class, announcing this for the whole class to hear. This is the first impression her classmates have of her, so Ginny feels awkward, embarrassed, and angry, but she's also new and doesn't want to cause a scene.

Later, he singles her out in front of everyone, assuming that she's the only student in the room who has a problem with a racial slur. Ginny feels totally alone and alienated as her classmates look around in awkward confusion. This time, Max doesn't come to her defense, which is how Ginny knows that she was never her real friend. The only thing Ginny can do is leave the room, embarrassed at showing how Gitten has affected her.

HATED: She's Mean To Austin

Ginny should understand what it's like to be a kid moving around all the time, facing school bullies, and dealing with Georgia's ever-changing love interests. However, when Austin demands her attention, her first instinct is often to snap at him.

As the older sister, it would be nice to see Ginny empathize with him and comfort him. Instead, Austin has to look outside of his family for comfort, which he only finds in Paul's company. Austin hasn't done anything wrong, so it's unfair of her to treat him that way.

FELT BAD: Abby Is Awful To Her

Abby Turns to talk to Ginny who sits on the floor of the school hallway in Ginny and Georgia

Of all of the new people Ginny meets, Abby is the cruelest. From the beginning, Abby makes it clear that she doesn't want Ginny to be part of MANG. She's the one to expose Ginny for stealing in front of her mom, makes frequent rude remarks about her, and laughs at her when her hair gets tampered with at Sophomore Sleepover.

Things come to a head when Abby slaps Ginny at Blue Farm. Abby's going through a tough time, but she shouldn't be lashing out at Ginny, or anyone. Abby's upset that her friends haven't been paying attention to her, but Ginny isn't the only one responsible. Later, when Abby discovers that Ginny and Marcus have been seeing each other, she's only too excited to expose her and ruin her friendship with Max. Ginny feels like she's unnecessarily targeted by Abby over and over again, never truly belonging in MANG.

HATED: Excluding Samantha

The moment Ginny truly becomes part of MANG is when she excludes someone else from their activities. When planning their Halloween costumes, Samantha wants to be included, but the moment she leaves, Ginny turns to her new friends and suggests they keep it just to themselves.

As the Halloween party approaches, Samantha is kept in the dark about the costume. Even though she's the one to warn Ginny about how exclusive and toxic MAN can be, Ginny goes behind her back and intentionally leaves her out. She does this deliberately, clearly relishing her newfound power in the school's social hierarchy, becoming someone her own mom doesn't recognize anymore.
