## Personality

Lydia is a boisterous, arrogant, and bossy individual. She is a person who does anything that comes to her mind, feigning the circumstances to reach her goal. She is free-spirited and carefree, and because of her supposedly unrivalled abilities, always puts her stubbornness into play to make the situation in her favor. She is quite haughty for boasting herself undefeated and strongest. Thus, in pursuit of having battles, she just loves battling which makes her a battle junkie. Even though she comes from a powerful family, she never takes that into credit and tries to make her name on her own. She’s a keen and fast learner and she mastered the swords just by lots of swinging. She has a short temper and will get furious and uneasy if someone belittles her or Allen. According to him, she is very difficult to handle once she loses it.

Though she poses herself very notorious, she’s actually a kind-hearted person who leans to her stoic-facade to hide the fact but Allen easily sees through this and often teases her. She is shown motivated, and competitive toward her rivals and even holds a sense of respect for them. But she still retains her haughty and demanding but spoiled nature in the presence of Allen. She can be very confident and relies on Allen to the point she even claims him as her possession and future husband with certainty. Though she won’t admit it openly, she deeply loves him, but she wants Allen to say so and, ironically, she knows it well. She shows jealousy whenever Allen talks to other girls and becomes very pushy and clingy to Allen.

Since childhood, Lydia was once called a cursed child due to her inability to magic which caused her inner turmoil, and began to see the world with pitched darkness. She had lost any hope for a better life until she met Allen at Royal University. Allen, who posed as her guiding light and star, becomes Lydia’s sole reason to live on and she will go to any lengths for his well-being. Her attachment to him is so strong that she even states that she would burn the world if it came on her way to be with him. Thus, she is extremely overprotective and obsessed with Allen. Lydia was devastated when she heard Allen’s whereabouts during the rebellion were unknown, losing her sanity and identity which accelerates herself to walk down towards dark path of salvaging the world where Allen isn’t anymore.
