Ability to: Feel the emotions, thoughts, hopes, desires, and dream of others
Examples of empathy

Empathy is the ability to feel the emotions, thoughts, hopes, desires, and dream of others. Lydia expresses this in the tattoos she possesses.

Characters

Limits

Lydia appears to know the names of people painted on her back (Orientation). She was able to give out Danko and Hiro Nakamura's names after Samuel put ink onto her. It is unknown if it's the only way for her to tell names. Fourteen years ago at the Sullivan Bros. Carnival Lydia was said to use her ability (Graphic Novel:Stolen Fate). She saw a baby on fire in a crystal Edgar stole from a fortune teller, while Edgar saw elder versions of himself and Lydia kissing. The fortune teller claimed the crystal is "just a hunk of quartz" and "another prop" - however, she added that Lydia's power polluted it.

Examples

  • Danko appears as a tattoo on Lydia's back, and she says his name.
  • Hiro appears on Lydia's back, and Lydia knows who he is.
  • Claire, Peter and Sylar appear on Lydia's back.

Notes

  • Samuel and Lydia often use their abilities together. Samuel places ink on Lydia's back, and seems to make the ink take shape in the form of a tattoo. Lydia then uses her ability to give information about the tattoo.
