Itll be hard for Jayde to talk to people and let people into her life so before she does, she will be anti-social and very alone. That will make her life miserable and even more so when she becomes what she will.

By the end of the story she will have changed into less of what she was and become happier and trusting more of people, because she wont see the world so bitterly.25
