Lydia Thompson

Michael Thompson

Hayden Thompson

Melody Thompson

## Personality

Having always lived on a specific routine, Lydia was never welcome to the idea of having to change what she does on a daily basis. After going through so much change within only a few years, she became more open to it. She made many efforts to separate herself from the values her father raised her on, especially after meeting her brother. Lydia enjoys helping people but often finds herself in moral dilemmas while doing so. Despite her usual calm and welcoming nature, she has a tendancy of getting aggresive towards people don't respect her.

## Relationships

### Taylor Mitchell

Lydia's fiance. Getting enganged barely a year after starting their relationship, the two will admit they rushed things a little bit, but would never tell you that they regret it. The two helped eachother during hard times and they would do it all again in a heartbeat.

### Ashlyn Thompson

Lydia's daughter. Due to being born to just her mother, who as only 17 at the time, the two grew close over their time together and stay close as Ashlyn grows into her toddler years. Lydia wishes she wouldve been born under different circumstances.

### Michael Thompson

Lydia's half-brother. The two don't have allot of history, but they continue to bond together when they can. The two enjoy knowing they have eachother. Mike was the first person who understood what Lydia went through growing up.

### Valerie Perez

Lydia's best friend. The two grew close during Lydia's pregnancy and shes been her ride-or-die ever since, Valerie being the only friend that actually stayed with her.

## Style

An averagely modest wardrobe, Lydia owns allot of sweaters and button up shirts. She prefers darker colors and multiple layers. Lydia consistently wears the same pair of shoes that Valerie bought her after she had Ashlyn. She still has allot of her maternity clothes, often wearing them as normal clothes. She didn't wear much pants until she got to highschool and started disliking how she looked in her usual skirts and dresses. Nowadays Lydia prefers to just wear what she wants, according to temperatures, of course.
