♦ EARLY HISTORY♦
Lydia is the only child of Muggles Harold and Julia Beckett. Lydia grew up in London, in a spacious flat not too far from the British Museum. Growing up she recognized that she and her family were neither poor nor were they rich. Her mum had gone to university and gotten a history degree but when Lydia was born had chosen to stay home and care for her daughter rather than hiring a nanny.
Lydia spent most of her childhood working hard to be the best at everything she could. She simply had to get the best grades and be the best violinist in band and have her drawings win first place in contests, etc. Her strive for perfection often led her to be too judgmental and critical of others at times, which led to not having many friends. Introverted by nature, this did not bother Lydia too much, but she’s determined to be better at making friends in the wizarding world.
♦ HOGWARTS HISTORY♦ FIRST YEAR (2095-2096)
Lydia spent most of her first year simply getting adjusted to magical life and fitting in at Hogwarts. She made a few good friends, but--introvert that she is--not too many. Her moment of glory was saving Derf from a grindylow attack. Scarred by the experience in the lake, Lydia withdrew and became rather reclusive for the second part of the term. She did not get mixed up in the Inferi attack, preferring to stay in the castle where it was safer. She's looking forward to another year at Hogwarts, becoming more social and hopefully making more friends, with a lot less life-threatening situations than last year...
