**** Clairvoyance is the ability to find someone where-ever they are. Empathy means she feels the emotions, thoughts, hopes, desires, and dream of others. That makes it very different from Clairvoyance --{{User:Leckie/Signature 3}} 12:12, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

***** Empathy doesn't explain how she knew people's names, and their location in time and space. Also, we more-or-less have two powers with the same name now. I think I'd prefer "Lydia's ability". - [[User:Hive|Hive]] 16:05, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Source/Explanation
The name "empathy" comes from a writer. See here for further information.

Name

I received an email from a writer, but I can't say who the writer was. Sorry. But in the email, the writer said, "Lydia is an empath. She feels the emotions, thoughts, hopes, desires, and dream of others. Lydia expresses this in the tattoos she possesses." That's about the best I can say right now. Sorry, I suppose this one will require a bit of trust on the part of the community. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:22, 23 September 2009 (EDT)

  • Where was her ability described as "empathy"? I can't remember the source... I mean it could be something like "tattoo empathy". Lol. AltesUTC CH
