Lydia is a minor character in "The Stolen Hope", and an anti hero in the TSH Prequel series. She is the adopted daughter of Warlock, the mother of Ares and Kaylee, and the former mate of King Maxwell.

Physical appearance
Lydia is a sleek and skinny she cat. Her fur is a deep greyish-blue, with three white spots on her cheeks. Her undertail, belly, chest, muzzle, limbs, ear tufts, and face stripe are all white. She wears a deep red gem necklace gifted to her by her father, Warlock. Her eyes are a vibrant pink. The inside of her ear, nose, and paw pads are a greyish-blue.

Personality
Not much is known about Lydia as a kit/teen, but it is revealed that she was close with her father, Warlock.

Lydia seems to be smarter than she lets on to be. She craves power of some kind, and leaps on any opportunity to get it. She seems to not feel any affection towards her mate, King Maxwell at first, but it's apparent the two had a brief fling. While it might not be labeled as love, the two cared about each other before her death.

She was a wonderful mother to her children and loved her kits unconditionally, even trying to back out of Rose’s assassination plan for the sake of her kits. However, it's clear she is easily swayed, and her careful planning seemed to fade over time.

Lydia is briefly mentioned by King Maxwell, who tells Ares, that if he doesn’t start acting like him, he’ll end up dead like his sister (Kaylee) and mother (Lydia).

The Finale:
Lydia is seen briefly in The Finale spirit world part of the timeskip. Ares approaches his family sadly, Lydia gazing at him sadly. Ares’ expression changes to a large smile and he and his family embrace, Lydia is overjoyed.

It’s all so Incredibly Loud PMV:
As Lydia is wandering through the forest, she stumbles upon King Romulus’ body. Upon realizing the identity of the body, she realizes it could gain her some credibility within The Darks, possibly even power. As she picks up the body, the rose lying on it falls into the river, but she thinks nothing of it.

She gets to the Dark castle, and is greeted by Maxwell, who takes a liking to her immediately.

Rose gets fed information from a spy, and she reveals herself as Queen Lydia. Rose seizes the opportunity and proposes a plan with her: assassinate and dethrone King Maxwell, and have their kingdoms become unified. Despite Lydia knowing it was Rose who killed Romulus, she is pleased with the idea and accepts the offer.

Soon Lydia becomes pregnant with Maxwell’s kittens, and is upset, but Rose tries to remind her that this only solidifies her place in the kingdom. Lydia gives birth to Kaylee and Ares, and Maxwell starts to show a softer side. Lydia becomes uncomfortable with the assassination plan.

Lydia tries to tell Rose she doesn’t want to go through with the assassination plan anymore, but Rose reconvinces her. Unknown to both of them, one of Maxwell’s spies sees them talking, and immediately reports it to Maxwell. Maxwell is infuriated.

When Lydia returns to the castle to assassinate Maxwell, he confronts her and kills her. Rose who was waiting outside, gets nervous and decides to check on how it’s going. She is horrified to find out that Maxwell has killed Lydia, and, infuriated that the plan has failed and that her friend is dead, vows to make her brother pay.

Rose rushes to the lair of the Warlock, a cat from Lydia’s past. She begs him to curse her brother, and he bitterly agrees, throwing Lydia’s necklace into his cauldron, and placing Maxwell’s curse onto him. Rose notices a painting on the wall, and it hits her. Warlock was Lydia’s father. Before she can react she is cursed as well, and Warlock screams at her to leave, heartbroken and with tears in his eyes. As Rose runs out of his lair she is confronted by the spirits of everyone she’s wronged, Romulus, Strike, Lillia, and Lydia, all surround her, Lydia is saddened throughout.
