Lydia is one of the survivors of the outbreak and a former Whisperer raised in the ways of killing and fear. She's a teenager and daughter of the frightening leader of a group called "Whisperers" that act and live among the dead and walkers, believing in a life based purely on animal instinct and survival above all. Lydia has suffered a lot thanks to her mother, becoming quite detached from reality having a cold and weird exterior, but underneath there's a girl who doesn't want to be alone.
