Description

Personality

Although Lydia may seem coy, she is quite a fighter and will not back down at any cost. Her gentle voice usually aids in calming others or during negotiation. She is quite the introvert and does not enjoy associating herself with unnecessary amounts of people. Only when she's around people she's comfortable with does her lively side surface, otherwise she is portrayed as a feisty girl with dry humor. Lydia takes no interest in her own feelings and is able to suppress them, leaving her level headed and calm. She has quite an intimidating aura, but it disperses as one gets to know her better. The swords-woman is one of her word and her loyalty is unlike any other.

History

Lydia is the daughter of a noble family and was expected to become one herself. Her interest in weaponry was not approved by her parents, but she continued to research and admire. Soon she began sparring with her friends and acting unladylike in her parent's eyes. After more lectures and berating, the swords-woman was disowned and left to fend for herself since she was not willing to abandon her love for weaponry. She was found in the streets by the King's body guard and he decided to take her under his guidance. Lydia began developing skills and studied weaponry even further.
