ℒ𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓 whose birth parents were black market art dealers who knowingly sold haunted paintings to morally corrupt upper class families. They were merely hustling for a better life, and she knew it. But she was the only person they trusted with their secret, and even as they took it to their graves, she couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility for all the grief they've caused.

ℒ𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓 who got failed by the foster system and got thrown around from home to home until she disappeared, seemingly without a trace, until time came to claim her inheritance. Several hitched rides in questionable truck driver's vehicles later, she'd found herself hopping between considerably smaller southern towns, where surely nobody would recognize her from the art auctions held on the Upper East Side. During this time, she'd been living out of the backs of cars, crashing on the couches of hospitable strangers, and scraping together loose change for the occasional motel.

ℒ𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓 who wasn't left to lead her own life as she pleased just yet. Her "unfinished business" to deal with before officially settling was tracking down every haunted piece of art her family had ever sold, releasing the spirits from their agony and disposing of the item's remnants. Even though on the surface, she acts as though she knows none of what happened was her fault, she knows in her gut that that same evil is what her blood is marked with, and no amount of fresh cuts or black eyes would change that.

ℒ𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓 who first encountered Sam and Dean when they recieved news of a haunted mosaic painting mounted in a midieval chapel. They had gone to investigate it themselves only to find that a young brunette was already in the process of cross-referencing who the painting's original subject could be, legal documents and newspaper clippings sprawled across the chapel floor and everything. They ended up finishing that particular job together, and it went pretty smoothly—She thought them at first to be dangerous so she attempted to remain as agreeable as possible.

ℒ𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓 who eventually explains to the brothers who she is, as it seems impossible not to, considering how much she knew. She broke down how several supposedly isolated hauntings were actually strung together and reluctantly showed them the leads she had pieced together so far.

ℒ𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓 who would continue to stay with them and accompany them on hunts on-and-off for two years, until every piece her parents had ever sold was attended to, and until she recieved her inheritance. In her past, she had never once been told the kinder softened versions of things, always instead being met with the brunt of harsh raw reality. So in hindsight, it was nice having people who worried for her, and felt even the slightest bit inclined to be protective. It was an exausting existence, but it would be one of the only times in her messy life that she would ever feel as though she'd found a family.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐒 + a couple cameos

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀

────── Lydia's pre-adulthood was spent mostly hanging idly around at illegal art auctions. Her parents didn't like to make it known that they had a child. They were sweet enough to her behind closed doors, but they believed it tainted their "sharp" public image. Here was where she got exposed to many bad things: recreational drugs and alcohol to name a few; though they never ended up sticking. What she really loved about these gatherings was how often she got to speak with the young women looking to purchase art. She was crazy about them. She'd tolerate hours of their self-effacing jokes and general snobbishness on the off-chance they'd give her a squeeze on the shoulder, readjust the neckline of her dress for her, or fondly wrap their fingers around lockes of her dark hair. Needless to say, she found her awakening at a very early age.

────── Despite her family not being religious by any means, a large chunk of the art that clients would ship to them contained conspicuous themes and imagery centered around Christianity. And because her mother or father would always read out a brief description of a given art piece before bidding began, she got introduced to many concepts like sacrifice and salvation.

────── Her parents weren't the best when it came to love language. They called Lydia by her birth name, and the occasional "dear" or "doll" when in the company of guests. Most of her newly existing nicknames were thought up by either of the brothers. Whenever they'd call her a new one for the first time, a wide dumb grin would be plastered across her face for a solid half second before she managed to conceal her small victory.

────── Huge fan of chick-flick slasher movies. Anything guts, gore, and rot, neatly tied up with a lacy pink ribbon. She went balistic after Jennifer's Body got released, as you could guess. She claimed that in a way, it reflected her own life, considering the demonic possession the film contained and her line of work.

────── Music-wise, she loves Violent Femmes and Alanis Morisette. She rarely ever gets granted aux priveleges, but when she does, she'll make the most out of it. My girl has definitely crushed "You Oughtta Know" at kareoke. Many of her past "girlfriends" (who were really just flings who lacked any real substance and used her inexpirience to their advantage) have ditched her for someone older, so you get why she'd resonate with it. ("An older version of me/Is she perverted like me?")

────── In her teenage years, she hadn't fully made piece with the fact that she liked girls—because that was the wrong thing to want. So much so that she'd go out of her way to prove she could want the right thing, wafting through several boyfriends before she stopped seeing herself as rotten to her core. Playing this role wasn't all fun, it rarely was. And, it eventually led to getting herself hurt when she gave a man in attendance at one of her parents' auctions the "wrong idea."

────── When she gets talking about something that interests her, she's really bubbly and lively, especially when it comes to hunting knowledge and her previous experiences. Lydia could literally be asked about the stages of flesh as it rots, or her favorite bits to do when dodging the questions of authorities and she'd clap and say "Oh my goodness, I love this question!"

────── Has a high tolerance for pain—aquired from so many hunts gone on solo. She's had to patch herself up several times before, and she wouldn't have had it any other way; She trusts her own medical instincts. But on occasions wherein she's severely wounded, seeing her own blood begin to pool around her has been known to make her feel faint or nauseous.

────── She never officially came out. She'd just act obnoxiously flirty and flustered around girls and joke about how "she could be a better boyfriend than that guy" and about pretending to read dirty magazines meant for men and hope the Winchesters would put their thinking caps on. And she had the teeniest tiniest school girl crush on Jo for a short period of time, but it "wore off," or so she claimed, and they went on to become close friends.

────── After she collects her inheritance in an unspecific later season, she ducks from the public eye, more permenantly this time. It's believed she either passed away from supernatural injury or changed her name and started anew somewhere else. Her entire storyline is very goodbye-we-hardly-knew-you-esque.
