What does their bedroom look like?
Do they have any daily rituals?
She has a few mundane rituals such as her morning shower, her bike ride to school, as well as more entertaining ones such as reading every night or working in the dark room after dinner. However, Lydia's most valued daily ritual is making sure makes time to talk and hang out with Beetlejuice every morning.
Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?
Lydia isn't really the athletic type and doesn't like strenuous activity but she does enjoy riding her bike and taking long walks every Sunday afternoon.

What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?
She would probably either go to the grocery store and pick up something like a ready-made salad or simply head over to BJ's to see if he wanted to go out to eat somewhere.
Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)?
Lydia is an overall tidy and well-groomed individual. She takes showers and washes her hair on a daily basis; brushes her teeth every morning and evening; and regularly cleans both her bedroom and dark room to make sure everything is organized.
Eating habits and a sample of his/her daily menu
Anything that wasn't cooked by Delia, which usually means salad when she eats at home. Lydia doesn't enjoy the idea of consuming meat, especially seafood since her stepmother cooks it on a regular basis, so she tends to stick to vegetables, fruits, and some milk products such as cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. But just because her diet is largely healthy doesn't mean she will pig out on a slice of a pizza or a bowl of candy with Beetlejuice.
A typical daily menu at home for Lydia includes oatmeal or granola with dried fruit for breakfast, either peanut butter, apple, and banana or grilled cheese sandwich for lunch; and a bowl of salad for dinner. Her favorite dessert is a dish of vanilla ice cream with fruit.

Depending on her schedule, if Lydia does have the time, she will feel no remorse whatsoever for wasting it. She will almost always go hang out with Beetlejuice in the Neitherworld when she has free time to herself.
Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging?
Her favorite indulgence is horror movie marathons with Beej, particularly ones with silent, classic, and B-movies. She feels no shame in a little self-indulgence every now and then.
Makeup?
Before moving to Conneticut, Lydia didn't really bother with wearing makeup as she was much too focused with expressing her displeasure with life through her very elaborate wardrobe. While she naturally has both dark-circles around her eyes and a pale complexion, Lydia has started to enjoy wearing a slight bit of dark lipstick to mimic the look of the actresses she sees in her favorite silent horror films.
Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?
Though Lydia won't fully admit it, she has abandonment and trust issues stemming from both her lonely childhood and her parent's divorce, which makes it hard for her let others in as well as let them go.

Among photography and filmography/videography, Lydia also enjoys studying fashion design, and the occult.

What is their biggest regret?

Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?
Beej may have started out as an enemy to Lydia but won her trust and confidence after exposing the Neitherworld's efforts to cover up the incident involving the Maitlands. Since then two of them have been best friends.
Enemy-wise, Lydia has two:
- Clare Brewster. Lydia sees her as a cruel, manipulative, and superficial individual who thinks nothing of others.
- Her biological mother. Lydia feels betrayed and hurt by her mother's extra-martial affair and desertion.

In situations such as these, Lydia tries to remain reasonably calm and do what she must to either help remedy the problem or get through it.
(e.g. If the house was on fire, Lydia would be the one calling the fire department while her father was screaming in the background and Delia was gathering any sculptures she could carry)
What would his/her reaction be to a sudden intrapersonal disaster (e.g. close family member suddenly dies)?
In an event such as this, Lydia would either react by withdrawing from the world around her.
Most prized possession?
Lydia has two: the spider-silk poncho and the wedding band (which she now wears as an eternal friendship ring) Beetlejuice gave to her.
Thoughts on material possessions in general?
Growing up surrounded by the comforts of material possessions and finding no satisfaction in it, Lydia sees them as unimportant. She would much rather have the company of friends and family than be surrounded by riches.
Concept of home and family?
Before moving to Connecticut, Lydia held little regard toward the concept of family. It wasn't until meeting the Maitlands and bonding with her parents after the events of the Incident that she realized how important her family was to her. She also considers Beetlejuice and the gang at the Roadhouse as a part of her family circle.
Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to âTMIâ?)

What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?
While Lydia does enjoy playing video games every now and then, she doesn't really see it as something she would want to waste much time on.

To a degree she feels guilt when she has to lie to her parents, most of all her father. She also has recently felt bad about not being able to make time for Beej due to her increase in schoolwork.
Are they more analytical or more emotional in their decision-making?
Lydia responds analytically when a decision must be made, weighing out her options before taking action. The only times she would possibly respond emotionally is if it involves extremely personal matters.
Would they consider themselves a Type A or Type B personality?
Though she is well-organized and makes sure to keep up with her assignments, Lydia is naturally a Type B. She finds relaxation in her artistic endeavors; often reflects on her feelings and surroundings; and doesn't get too wound up when it comes to competing with others (though she will make the occasional exception if someone like Clare is involved).
What recharges them when theyâre feeling drained?
A trip to the Neitherworld almost always manages to get Lydia energized since it means being out of Peaceful Pines. Peaceful Pines may be her hometown, but like any small town, it can get boring fast.

Lydia has neither a superiority nor inferiority complex. She is realistic about her abilities and realizes that there will always be someone out in the world who does better or worse than her.
How misanthropic are they?
Not very, but she does show some disdain for humanity on topics such as wildlife, the environment, and the media's portrayal of beauty.
Hobbies?
Lydia's hobbies include taking and developing photos, shooting and editing film, reading, sewing, and watching movies (mostly classic horror, though she is starting to branch out to Film Noir and foreign films). She also dabbles in writing poetry and prose, which she keeps to herself by writing in her personal journal.
How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?

Religion?
Lydia is a Spiritualist.
Superstitions or views on the Occult?

Lydia's ideal mate would be someone who shares her interests, treats her with mutual respect, who can make her laugh when she needs it the most, and who is not afraid to be themselves around others.
How do they express love?
So far the only category of love Lydia has experienced is the platonic form, which she shows through playful behavior and facetious comments. When she is particularly happy or affectionate she will show it through physical acts such as hugging or hand holding.
If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?
Lydia likes to avoid physical conflict but will fight if she finds it necessary to defend herself or others. She lacks a great deal of physical strength, so she sticks to evading attacks and using her wits to win a fight.
Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?
Dying is the one of the last things she is afraid of, especially since she knows that she has friends on the Other Side.
