Lydia Martin seems, on the surface at least, to be shallow and spoiled but this is an elaborate act. She possesses a genius level IQ, is well versed in chemistry and understands both classical and archaic Latin. She is also one of the most fashionable and popular students at Beacon Hills High School. She hides her intellect in order to retain this social status. Lydia has been shown to be manipulative with her friends, using them when it suits her ambitions. She is also, like most teenagers, overly sensitive and emotional in matters of the heart. Her relationship with Jackson Whittemore at first seemed to simply be part of her plan to remain popular but she truly loved him. It was her love for Jackson that saved his life, allowing him to change from Kanima to Werewolf (see season 2). The events with Jackson and his abrupt move to London, England seemed to leave Lydia emotionally numb. She took a number of lovers over the summer and expressed a "love them and leave them" philosophy. She entered into what appeared to be a purely physical relationship with a werewolf - Aiden. She was aware that he was using her and was willing to use him to advance her friends efforts to defeat The Alpha Pack (see season 3A). Here too, while her romantic involvement seemed calculated, she showed genuine heartbreak when Aiden was killed. It remains to be seen how the knowledge that she is a Banshee will change her worldview but so far she's used her powers to help people. |
