What does 方向 mean in this sentence?


> ありあまるパワーの方向がなんか惜しい子

One character says this over a new colleague at work who really wants to work
but because she's new, she's not allowed. So she has all that desire to work
but she's not allowed.




方向 means the standard _direction_.

  * パワーの方向 means just _the direction of power/energy_ (or _the direction to which the energy is put_ ).
  * なんか惜しい is the verdict of the speaker about that direction. Literally _somewhat off/wrong_.

The sentence basically says the child is energetic, but in a wrong direction.
