Hello, Kingdoms! Co-mod Rose Marie here, finally caught up on season 3b of
Teen Wolf and bringing in Lydia Martin! She can be rather snarky and off-putting at times (don't let that deter you), but she's crazy intelligent and wonderfully loyal to those that have earned her trust. Not that her loyalties have kept her from sleeping with the enemy. Or sleeping around in general. Or kept her from finding dead bodies like the world's most morbid spidey sense.
That's right. For as human and bratty and vulnerable as she is, Lydia isn't entirely normal. She's the Harold of Death --a banshee-- with a keen sixth sense, knowing when someone is going to die and letting out a chilling, unnatural
scream upon their deaths. The scream can reach for miles and miles, even further if there are people with sensitive enough hearing to pick up on it.
Along with her sensitivity to the undead, she also has another, often-overbearing ability. Her hearing is attuned to the universe on a level no one else is; this means she's often bombarded by voices (for a lack of a better word), sometimes a few, sometimes hundreds all at once. This allows her to hear the pasts of objects (for example, when her friend had
this going on, she could hear what had happened and had been said around the strings simply by plucking one). When the voices get to be too much, the banshee scream serves a second purpose: drowning out the unnecessary noise which keeps her from being able to focus.
Essentially, she's on a precarious balance between usefulness and the nonstop noise driving her crazy.
While not every scream means someone has died, you can bet your sweet bibby that every time a Summoned dies, that unnerving scream is going to reach across the entire land.
She sort of doubles as a useful plot device, which is grand for modding.
I'm intro-ing her on this IC day, so she's coming in a week after the intro event, and her post is already up in the main comm! I hope y'all have fun with her!
