I love the character of Lydia, because sh is by far one of the most complex characters within the show. When we first see her, you just expect her to be the stereotypical ``Beautiful, popular, stylish, Queen B`` of Beacon Hills High School. Well, she IS the most popular girl, but that is all a facade to mask her astounding & genius intellect. She is like a master in chemistry class making it look like a walk in the park & the same with math, plus she can brew up a Molotov cocktail in a tight situation, she is fluent in Archaic Latin because she got bored with classical latin, Like for real, she got BORED. Lydia hides all of this because the other students, including her fans and ``friends`` would be either intimidated by her intellect, or find her wierd and nerdy, therefore shunning her from her status. I believe that deep down, she wishes she could show her intelligence more, she probably thinks that everyone only cares about looks and style.

In Season 2, I loved every scene with Lydia. We get a deeper look into her mind, quite literally, as she appears to hallucinate and go crazy after the Alpha attack. We see how she copes, how she is seen as a nutjob by her classmates, how she is so lost and desperate for answers from her ``best friend`` Allison, but she refuses to let her in on what is going down. But then we see that she knows a little more than she lets on, when it is revealed that she was the one who tampered with Jackson/Matt`s video camera footage, hiding from Jackson that he had morphed into the Kanima. And we see that she was heart broken over him dumping her, that she feels she should hate him but that she still cares for him, having done what she did to keep him safe. Then learning that her stalker was a mere hallucination(that was amazing by the way) & when she spiked the punch in Party Guessed & ressurected Peter, well in short, there was not one single scene in this entire season involving Lydia Martin that I did not absolutely love.
