Lydia

**Lydia** is a student of Jefferson County Middle School and one of Milo's classmates. She's an enthusiastic person and a loyal friend.

She is voiced by Alyson Stoner.

## Personality

Lydia is a very cheerful, kind, energetic person who does everything with boundless enthusiasm. She seems to enjoy being on the go, having invited Melissa to the mall, and, as a passionate member of the school drama club, spending her afternoons rehearsing with the other members. She speaks with an exaggerated valley-girl accent.

She is loyal to a fault - a trait that can be seen when she follows her best friend Amanda's exact instructions via text, claiming that finishing the instructions in texts sent by Amanda was just what she did.

She also heavily believes in the phrase 'the show must go on' as she was willing to put on an interpretive dance number with Zack, who almost stayed home due to a splinter, for the Winter Break Awards despite having bad food poisoning.

She is able to keep a calm head when in bad situations, as she was able to keep a leveled head when trapped in an elevator in "Escape" and kept the others distracted by involving them in an improv session.

## Physical Appearance

Lydia has light skin, dark brown eyes, and a very small, pointed nose. She has long brown hair that's held back by a light yellow headband.

She wears a similarly colored dress with dark orange, plaid patterned sleeves, and a matching skirt with a brown belt. Her shoes are light brown sneakers with white laces, soles, and socks.
