Talk:Lydia

Ability?

Her ability links to Empathic mimicry. Is it the same ability? I don't think so, should it not be a separate ability, in which case we have to fix the redirect from empathy. --mc_hammark 03:40, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

• I don't think her ability is empathy. See here for what I have created.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 07:35, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
  • I think her ability is straight up clairvoyance, and that the tattoos are of Samuel's doing. -Vampirate68 | Talk | Contribs | 16:34, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Where did the name empathy come from? To me, it seems like the paint the future ability, except the canvas is someone's skin. Kimera757 19:22, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

It came from some interviews. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 19:32, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Clairvoyance

I really think it's clairvoyance, because after Samuel made a tattoo on Edgar, it was clear that it wasn't her who made the tattoos move - they moved by themselves... Being a clairvoyant like Molly, for instants, she could think of the person, and manifest their face through the tattoos. It's just my opinion really... -- Meteoritu =D- 23:28 September 22.

Ok I just read the Stolen Fate graphic novel and it shows Lydia predicting stuff... So I thought she was a precog, but then I thought "how could she have known WHO had the compass? That's not precognition..." so now I'm thinking, either it's Precognition, either it's Clairvoyance, or - Precognition + Clairvoyance = Empathy... What do you guys think? Once again I hence the fact that her tattoos moving are not a side effect from her ability; that was Samuel's doing. Meteoritu =D-

But in Stolen Fate, she saw baby Claire on fire, an event that happened in 1991. Ohhhhh, Lydia's power makes my brain hurt...--Gibbeynator 21:55, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

• Who says that it was baby Claire? I took it to be Lydia and Edgar's future baby. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:50, 27 September 2009 (EDT)
  • The fire is pretty much what sold it for me as being baby Claire --Gibbeynator 22:54, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Her Daughter

I'm really glad it turned out that Amanda was born when Lydia was a teenager. When I found out she had a daughter I was thinking that perhaps Samuel was the father, having "forced" himself upon her. That would also give a reason as to why both Lydia and Edgar seem to hate Samuel. Josh KorolenkoUTChronicles
