### Status

Deceased

**Lydia Celestia Moonglow** *(Née Unknown)* was a minor, yet influential character in "MLIV:TO".

She was the beloved wife of Marlon Moonglow- the most important man in her life- to whom she has been married for twenty years. In addition, she was the ever-faithful mother of Aurelia Moonglow who has been looking for her ever since she was captured by Alais Keymoira and her people.

In addition to that, she is the mother of Isabella Moonglow and the stepmother of Edward Moonglow- a child from a previous relationship that Marlon had when he was younger.

## Personality

Lydia is a gentle, loving and caring woman that genuinely cares about the people who are a part of her family, as well as other people who matter to her. Which is almost everyone, truth be told.

Having started off as a little girl with a troubled childhood, Lydia came to mistrust everyone else and always distanced herself from others like her. However, her first visit to the Earth when she was only 20 years old met her with her beloved Marlon Moonglow and they quickly fell in love. After becoming pregnant with his child eight years later. Lydia came to see that not all human beings are bad and that they are only influenced by the wicked nature of others, so she sought to correct what others had neglected for so long.

Although it is never shown in the Ministory, Lydia is very protective of the things that she has left, especially her husband and daughter. She becomes depressed whenever something important to her disappears and she is forced to look for it. Still, she always keeps her positive attitude and prays for the well-being of her loved ones, even when it seems impossible to do so.

Her current motherly attitude has earned her many allies who sympathize for her and hope that she gets to live a long and happy life.

## Death

### Killed By

* Alais Keymoira *(Indirectly Caused, Alive)*
* Alais Keymoira's allies *(Indirectly Caused, Alive)*

Due to the fact that Alais Keymoira and her allies abducted her little daughter and turned her into a slave girl, Lydia was left shocked and depressed.

This sudden chain of events led her to become very sick after worrying about her daughter too much. The exact circumstances of that are unknown, nor what kind of disease it used to be. However, it is clear that the elven slave trader and her people are guilty, because they caused Lydia's demise.

* Natural Causes *(Alive)*

In her last hours of life, Lydia is joined by her beloved daughter just as she was about to abandon all hope that they could save her. She is so overjoyed that she finally allows her body to rest, thinking that her mission in the world is done, at long last.

Knowing that her dearest Aurelia is in the good hands of both her own father and the heroic Geralt, Lydia bids all three of them farewell as she loses the last of her energy. As it is drained out of her body, she finally manages to close her eyes, dying peacefully while being surrounded by all of her loved ones.

* Aurelia Moonglow *(Before Reanimation)*

With both Aurelia and her father being aware that Lydia is going to reanimate after her untimely demise, Marlon urges his daughter to put her mother down in the most humane way possible- using her pure magic.

While teaching Geralt how to use it himself, Aurelia presses her hand against her reanimating mother's forehead, channeling a small amount of light energy and shutting down the remaining pieces of her mind, allowing her to rest for good.
