Mental characteristics

Personal history

Lydia grew up the daughter of a fish merchant who sold his goods at the docks of Aston. When she was only 8 years old, she joined him on his trips up and down the river. At that time, rebelling mages and bandits still roamed vast parts of the Bartarra Grassland. Because of that her father taught her how to use swords and defend herself if she should ever be in danger.
When she was 19 years old, her father was captured by a group of bandits and she was left injured to bleed out on her own after the bandits had their ways with her. Furious and on the verge of death, she took up the journey to Aston to ask for help. After getting patched up by Zinnala Blackleaf she visited the noble castle. The count though refused her pleads. Frustrated she settled down in a bar to drown her frustration in ale when the young lord approached her and offered his help. Determined to free her father and get revenge she joined him on the quest.
After weeks of traveling together, they managed to locate the bandits and finally freed Lydia's father. Impressed by her fierceness, skills and wits, the young lord kept her close, finally falling in love with the young merchant girl. Despite his fathers' wish he married her, raising her to noble status.
