personality

Positive Traits: book smart, can be too honest, wicked sense of humour, fiercely loyal to her loved ones

Negative Traits: hard shell to crack, dependent, lets her feelings guide her actions, weak resolve

Quirks and Habits:
- Ever since she started first year, Lydia has had a lucky quill. Why is it lucky? Well, she hasn't failed a single test when she's used that quill in the past, and she's quite certain that's why.
- When things get a little bit too overwhelming or stressful, Lydia's first instinct is to shut down. She clams up and refuses to talk, and then the next few days are usually spent curled up in bed. 
- Lydia's a triplet and often feels like she's the least noticed of the three, like she pales in comparison to them because she's so... quiet and reserved when people first meet her.
- Yes, Lydia is aware that having soooo many 'l's' in her name is funny, and having that pointed out to her in her greatest pet peeve. She has no idea why her parents name her Lydia Llewellyn okay?
- She has a very thick Welsh accent which can make her difficult to understand at times.

Likes: writing stories, eating - she's always nibbling on some sort of snack, doing well in school, Joshua and Danica (her fellow triplets), Thomas Wood, magical creatures

Dislikes: being seen as the boring triplet,  people making fun of her name, anti-Welshism, assignments that are stupidly difficult, being put on the spot, small spaces

Boggart: being trapped in an enclosed room, unable to escape with nobody to find her

Mirror of Erised: Herself as the lead editor for a newspaper - not the Daily Prophet because she believes a lot of their articles are gobbledygook

Patronus: iguana

History

2008 - at age five, Lydia was playing a game of hide and go seek with the neighbourhood kids and her siblings. She was certain that she found the best hidey hole ever when she stumbled upon an empty cupboard. She didn't realise until it was too late that it didn't open from the inside and after spending what felt like an eternity trapped in the broom closet (in reality, it was maybe ten minutes), she was rescued whilst banging and screaming the door.

2014 - it was her first year at Hogwarts and Lydia remembers standing in line for the sorting hat ceremony. She was the last of the triplets to be sorted and after watching Danica, then Joshua he sorted into Hufflepuff… she silently prayed that she wasn't going to be separated. She didn't want to be the odd one out and she'd never spent the night away from them… and she didn't want to start now. Quiet as a mouse, Lydia stepped up to the stool and was completely silent, her eyes squeezed as tight as anything, until the hat shouted, 'HUFFLEPUFF!'

2017 - in fourth year, Lydia was paired with Thomas Wood for an assignment and she fell head over heels for him. It wasn't just physical attraction, but he was just… so friendly and charming and funny. Lydia was nervous around him at first but gradually opened up and he found her jokes funny which made her think she had a small chance until he got a girlfriend, one he's had for the last two years. It's kind of soul crushing but Lydia's tried her best to maintain a friendship with him because anything's better than nothing, right?

Roleplay example:

With her knees drawn up close to her chin, Lydia sat with her book precariously balanced on top of them, her lucky quill clutched between her fingers as she scribbled down fact after fact for her latest Transfiguration assignment. It was one of the more challenging ones that they'd been given that year, but Lydia had always thrived when pushed out of her comfort zone, something that had been evident since she was a child.

At the sound of a clatter across the library, likely another stack of books being knocked down, Lydia's concentration broke and she glanced up, breath catching in her throat as she saw Thomas. The boy she had been head over heels for ever since she'd been paired to work with him last year. He was so handsome and... oh shit, was he approaching her? Oh God. Shifting about in her seat, swearing beneath her breath, Lydia tried her best not to look like a deer in the headlights as he sat opposite her with a charming smile, striking up a conversation. Okay, be cool, Lyds… be cool.
