“ it- it w-wont stop bl-bleeding...”

One might say that LYDIA MARTIN was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her parents always provided her with the best they could. From books, to make up, to clothing, to gadgets. They valued education – and, thankfully, even from a young age, so did Lydia. She loved learning whatever she could get her hands on, and she felt school was too limiting with what they were teaching – reaching out on her own to learn all that she could. For Lydia, learning and knowledge was empowering. She was beautiful, and she had the brain power to go with it. She was not at all modest about her looks - she knew what others saw her as. But, as she grew older - by middle school - she realized that children are cruel. That, somehow, being intelligent was looked down upon. So, instead, she hid it and used it to her advantage. A hidden bite under the beauty of the red-head. A brilliance that not many could understand or comprehend. Lydia always had high hopes for her future – it was always bright in her mind. And the tragedies that had befallen Beacon Hills as she spiraled more and more into the knowledge of the supernatural world – Lydia only saw them as roadblocks to overcome and adapted. At first, when PETER HALE bit her and sparked the banshee instead of her, she was terrified. Not understanding what was happening to her, or what she was – Lydia soon began to pick herself up and do what she was best at, learning. Researching whatever she could to better herself, what she was, and help the pack. The McCall pack was never something she thought she would become intertwined with. She always felt that STILES STILINSKI, the boy who had an endearing crush on her since grade school, was childish – while she knew he was quite smart. As well as his shadow, SCOTT MCCALL. When ALLISON ARGENT moved to town, however, Lydia was instantly drawn to the new girl and decided to take her under her wing. Somehow, things began to snowball. To Lydia being bitten, to learning Allison was a hunter – to Beacon Hills turning into a battle ground every week. As her powers developed, Lydia became closer to this group of misfits than she ever thought possible. However, when Allison was killed by the Oni, she wailing for her best friend was one of the most painful things she’d ever had to do. Lydia is stronger than most realize – from surviving someone trying to kill her, to feigning a false strength when her parents lost all of their money, to pushing through what Theo had done to her and making herself stronger because of it – learning how to use her powers as a weapon through the unconscious guidance of fellow banshee MEREDITH WALKERwhile in Eichen House. Lydia has always lived off the mindset that she can, and will, adapt to anything. If you can adapt, you can survive. And if you can survive, you can be unstoppable.
