overall personality:
Lydia is sweet and kind. She makes strong and lasting connections, and does her best to see the good nature in people even when others can't. She trusts easily and enjoys being around others. However, she has the tendency to be a little shy though it's nothing that a warm smile can't coax her through. Lydia can be quite assertive with people but only if necessary. She's fun to be around and enjoys the simple pleasures in life. Lydia could be friends with a tree stump, she's honestly not very picky when it comes to who she's friends with.
Lydia would put herself in the thick of danger just to save a creature. In fact, she would have a zoo of her own if she could. She loves books, learning new things, and sometimes enjoys a nice glass of wine, though she doesn't drink... and she doesn't like alcoholics and/or drunks.
She's not afraid to fight for what she believes in and she's a very passionate woman. She can be a bit stubborn. Lydia is protective and much stronger than she looks so she's not one to be taken lightly.

history:
Lydia was born on the thirteenth day of July in a small hospital outside of London. She hadn't been exactly planned but her mother and father welcomed her with open arms. Lydia was an only child growing up and didn't have any brothers or sisters she could hang out with so she spent a lot of time by herself or with animals. When she was seven her mother had an accident with one of the spells she was trying to invent, and ended up wiping her memory. Lydia was there when it happened. Her mother got very confused and very angry quite quickly and after a moment of being silent she rounded on Lydia and started yelling. Lydia's father came in then and was also not recognized by his wife.
Lydia's mother was sent to St. Mingus and kept in the Janus Thickey Ward so she wouldn't wander around the place. Sophie did not recognize any of the family that came to visit her and the only thing she seemed to be able to remember was her name. Lydia's father visited her mother in the hospital for months, but didn't bring Lydia along until she'd started her schooling at Hogwarts.
The day came when Lydia was supposed to go to school and she was quickly sorted into Gryffindor although the hat mentioned that she could've fit well in Hufflepuff as well. Lydia immediately took a strong liking for charms and care of magical creatures and she excelled in care of magical creatures. She devoted a lot of time to her studies and when she wasn't hanging out with magical creatures or practising her charm work, Lydia could be found writing letters to her father. She'd ask for updates on her mother's progress and was constantly reminding her father that he'd promised that she'd be able to visit her mother in the summer.
It was hard for Lydia to visit her mother and each time she left the ward with less hope for her mother's recovery than she'd come in with. She still pushed herself to visit though and on her mother's birthday she brought her flowers, surprised when her mother had responded with 'thank you, Lydia.' Although she later found out that the only reason her mother remembered her name was because one of the healers was constantly reminding her of it. In her sixth year, Lydia received a letter from her father that stated that the healers had told him that they didn't think Sophie would be recover from her accident. Lydia spent her seventh year devoting all her time to studying, leaving no room for thoughts about her mother, and she later graduated with her head high and a bright future in front of her.
Lydia later became the Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts. She still visits her mother in the hospital an although the healers have told her they don't think her mother is going to recover, she tries to stay positive and hopeful. Lydia is slowly working on coming out of her shell more.
