Lydia

Lydia is the titular antagonist of the game Lydia's Art Class. She's one of the nine mentors of the art academy, she teaches Painting & Illustration, and is also the founder of Amelia's Cafe.

Appearance

Lydia is a woman with turquoise eyes and short blonde hair. She wears a turquoise shirt with a yellow tie, a white apron tied with a ribbon in the back. She wears beige pants, and a turquoise skirt. She also has brown shoes. She has a turquoise cap on her head. She also carries a white handbag, and she can be seen holding a paintbrush.

Personality

At first, Lydia is depicted like any other normal teacher is. At the beggining of the game, she appears very kind and helpful while being a bit maternal by calling her students, "Dear." Or "Dear student." Or other pet names, however, she hates being disobeyed, and if a student keeps ignoring her warnings, she doesn't hesitate to punish them. Near the end of the game, her true intentions are revealed, showing that she is a psychopathic murderer, who enjoys trapping her creations in the virtual world to kill them, instead of letting them escape and live. During the recordings, the computer also reveals that Lydia had no problem with creating a maid killing machine, who was supposed to brutally kill her guests to turn them into food that she later on served.

History

Before the events of the games, Lydia married Maximus, the founder and principal of the Academy of Scientific Artistry. Together with Maximus and her younger sister Luna, Lydia became an architect in engineering a multi-layered virtual reality system.

Lydia served as Maximus' assistant, her role was crucial in creating and maintaining the simulation. The records later revealed that Lydia felt zero remorse during creating of the virtual world, she programmed and designed Amelia who was created to trap creations and turn them into food, all done just to ensure Lydia and Maximus can smoothly operate the virtual world without any problems.

In Lydia's Art Class she keeps the identity of a kind and charming art mentor. She welcomes the main character, Alain, and guides him through her lessons, including color mixing and canva painting. Despite that, later on it is revealed who she really is.
