Lydia is completely unaffected by Mountain Ash.

Lydia is not supernatural by the definition established on the show.

The show defines the canon. While it's been pretty clear for a long time that Lydia is not like the supernaturals on the show, it is now established canon. I think we need to take a moment to be honest, here, Paul.

The assumption that Lydia is NOT supernatural because of what Deaton said about mountain ash, and that the definition of what supernatural is is different for the canon than its actual, dictionary, definition, IS headcanon. I'm sorry, but it's coming to a conclusion outside of what has been shown in the series, based on small bits that suggest that Lydia is not supernatural, regardless of the overwhelming amount of supernatural ability she posesses as a banshee.

My personal opinion, it's simply a lack of continuity within the show. I think that making such a leap as to say that Lydia is not supernatural is a bit sad, and VERY clearly headcanon.

For someone who claims to hate all things fanfiction, you sure stick to your personal variety, and preach it like the Gospel.
