In retaliation, Matilda borrows a talking parrot that can say “hello” and “rattle my bones” from a child in her neighborhood, with whom she is a friend. That's what makes Mrs. Wormwood a villain—she just can't bring herself to care about her own daughter. Everyone was afraid of the new headmistress and despite how many lines she crossed, no one dared cross her. Her father is unable to remove the hat all day and night. The reason for this being because of a few simple words her father once spoke to her "When a person does something bad, that person must be punished." She doesn't step up and defend Matilda when Mr. Wormwood bothers her, and she doesn't help her daughter develop her awesome mind. When Trunchbull teaches Matilda’s class, Matilda picks up a piece of chalk with her mind and begins to write on the whiteboard. In a fit of rage, he snatches the library book, rips out its pages and throws it in the wastebasket. She's way more interested in playing Bingo and watching nighttime soap operas than she is in spending time with her family or developing a career of her own.

Matilda is always worried about upsetting or making others dislike her, but Edgeworth most of all, is someone she wants to make proud. Honey states that she doesn’t believe that her father would have killed himself and implies that Trunchbull murdered him. But wouldn't a person with some brain cells find being married to Mr. Wormwood depressing? Being around Mai makes her feel like a huge weight is lifted off her back.

Through careful planning, Honey was able to move out of her aunt’s house, but one pound per week is barely enough to live on.

She was given almost everything she ever wanted, she boarded at the prestigious Academy, and for once people seemed to like her. Edgeworth hears about the incident in Melior. She lifts another student up by his ears, which are said to stretch out significantly. Not until there was a change in faculty at the Academy, from a man who had been very kind and patient with many of the staff and students to someone who ruled with an iron fist and bended regulations to fit her own needs.
