Name: Lydia Fabien
Nickname: Ly, Lyddie
Age: Uh... 19 - early 20's?
Birthday: November 1
Gender: Female
Race: Human... mostly.




Height: 5'5"

Build
To sum it up generally: slight. Lydia is a naturally thin girl. She is small boned and has a naturally fast metabolism, so fat isn't much of a factor with her. Her arms are slender and well proportioned with her body; her hands are slender and long, and her nails are only allowed just beyond the length of her finger, but are always well manicured. Her legs are a bit thin, but otherwise very shapely, her feet a little narrow but otherwise average sized for her height. She isn't dramatically hippy; Lydia's silhouette consists of gentle curves. She also isn't extremely busty, but not extremely small; she's a solid B cup, maybe reaching into a C cup. And if you're looking for muscles, Lydia's not your girl; she's soft from head to toe.
(Bodies are hard to work with for reference images, but something roughly like this is what I was thinking)

Skin
Lydia is a Caucasian; her family tree consists of mostly Caucasians. Her skin tone is (by reference of this chart) "light", with the general consistency of her skin being creamy and smooth. She has an average smattering of moles and tiny scars that she picked up through her childhood, but no scars or blemishes of particular importance or obviousness. She takes good care of her skin, but has a bad lot in burning easily.

Tattoos/Special Markings?
None whatsoever... such things are very unprofessional!

Face
Lydia is pretty; it can be a little hard to notice sometimes since she often has such a stern expression, but she is. She has a heart-shaped face (by this chart's specifics), with a bit of a pointed chin and angled cheekbones. She has an average sized forehead, and a small, pointed nose that is rather narrow. The skin tone of her face is even and clear; she has very little natural flush in her face and no freckles to speak of. The emphasis in Lydia's face are clearly her eyes (see below). Her ears are small and mostly average for a human, with a detached lobe. Her lips are a pale pink color, and consist of a somewhat thin upper lip and a full lower lip. Lydia's expressions are often stern or serious since her business is her life, but she can be caught in surprising expressions of innocence as well; these consume her whole face as they are so unexpected. A great deal of her expression comes from her eyes.

Eyes
<-- See this reference here? The coloring is exactly what I had in mind for Lydia.
Lydia's eyes are supposed to be striking; her most noticeable feature. Her eyes are a naturally gray or silver color, and are supposed to stand out extremely well against her skin and hair; they are very noticeable. They are large and a tiny bit wide set, but pretty evenly proportioned in her face. She has very long, thick lashes that appear black, but are actually a very deep brown. Her brows are thin, gently arched, and the hue of the undertones of her hair. They are very expressive, but she is very good at controlling what emotions they show; they're the ace in her poker face. Her most common eye expression is something like this; stern, sharp, and a tad bit disproving.

Hair
Lydia has pretty healthy hair that she keeps well maintained. The consistency of her hair is very fine, making it silky and very soft with very little effort. This is the exact style I pictured for Lydia; her bangs are straight and cut to skim her eyebrows, covering most of her forehead. The hair about the crown of her head is straight, then from about ear-level downward is kept in open, loose, romantic looking curls. The length of her hair falls to about the bottom of her ribcage, as in this image, and is more often than not left loose and flowing. The arrangement of her bangs isn't really important; she's often brushing them aside, so any arrangement they happen to be drawn in will probably be accurate enough for Lydia. Her hair is a brownish red color... or maybe a reddish brown; the reference image calls it "Dark Copper". But whatever it is, that's Lydia's hair tone. She doesn't really believe in dying it, so she doesn't; this is her natural hair color, and something she inherited from her mother. If it turns out looking a little more reddish or a little more brownish, that's fine... but the reference image is exact, haha.

Piercings?
Lydia has the standard earlobe piercing, which she has had her whole life. But she doesn't wear earrings too often, so it can be somewhat hard to notice. Otherwise, Lydia has no other piercings, mostly because she doesn't consider them to be very professional.




Style
Business professional. If she's feeling wild and willy, she'll go for business casual. Lydia isn't the sort of girl that dresses down usually. In fact, she usually feels pretty uncomfortable in casual clothing. The only place she wears casual clothing is in her own apartment, usually only when she's by herself.

Signature item(s)?
A tie. She's almost always wearing one. She also has a collection of

Most likely to wear things like this:

Lydia is a young woman who has just come back to town to take over her mother's position as president of an extremely large pharmaceuticals company. It is a position she has been groomed for and accepts with enthusiasm despite the doubt surrounding her ability to do so well. She is devoted to keeping her mother's company afloat and successful in her mother's memory. She lives, eats, and drinks the business; she even lives on the top floor of the building's HQ. Lydia is very straightforward, no-nonsense, and stubborn. She has been kidnapped so many times for ransom that she has become an expert on escaping, and has a blase, impatient regard for people who waste her time in such ways. She is the president and demands efficiency, and she finds business fun. In fact, it's a bit weird for her when she learns that people don't come to work just because they love it so gosh darn much. She is in love with a long time friend, but is struggling to get over her feelings since they can never be returned; as such, it has made her somewhat oblivious to the feelings the businessman she is pretending to date to make herself look more stable has for her. She secretly gushes over fairies and fairy tales, and clumsily pretends not to when she catches someone watching her. She has terrible eating habits, often sleeps at her desk, and is a strong believer in accepting people for what they are.
