Talk:Lydia Martin/@comment-174.3.61.145-20120629184445

I'm just guessing here and throwing out a new interesting theory:

What if Peter Hale, knowing he was going to die, bit Lydia and infused her with some sort of power or immunity over the other shapeshifters? He certainly was a much more powerful, knowledgeable, and worldly Alpha then Derek, so it is possible. Plus, he killed Laura, a female Alpha, so she could have something to do with this. So because of this, Lydia may be a Shaman or a hypnotist or some sort (not a witch or fairy or anything) that has immunity and some form of control over werewolves and other shapeshifters, or a healer or something (like the vet, he could be her mentor in later episodes). She is smart enough for all of this, and she would become a major ally for Scott if he gets separated from the rest of his pack and would be able to protect them against the others.
