//So apparently, I forgot Lydia's birthday. Which I suppose is just keeping things consistent with how I forgot Alexander's birthday. That being said, Lydia turned 34 last Saturday, so that's cool.

Send me a misconception you think people have about my character and I'll explain if it's true or not!
Not true!
Lydia has flat affect, a condition stemming from her autism that 'manifests as a failiure to express feelings either verbally or nonverbally' (quoted from wiki)
She still has emotions, its just that she struggles with showing them in the way others do (ie, tone of voice, facial expression).
Lydia is most definitely closeted, not because she chooses to be or because she thinks that she won’t be accepted for who she is, but because she’s never had any experience with a girl. All of her romantic and sexual experiences have been with boys, which isn't something that Lydia can say she's thought twice about. Considering her brother is so openly gay, it's never been something she's afraid of. Lydia doesn't exactly care what her parents think of her sexuality, since they don't even stay faithful in their own marriage, and it wouldn't surprise her if they've taken other loves of the same gender in their vast travels.
But Lydia has always felt unfulfilled in her romantic and sexual relationships, most notably with her current boyfriend, Skylar. Taking aside how horribly he treats her, Lydia simply doesn't feel any spark from him anymore. She normally attributed it to the fact that they'd been together for so long, but now her eye is starting to wander and Lydia very easily can see herself lusting after some of the other members of the talent agency. Specifically, she's starting to get rather confused about the way she looks at women.
Lydia has always noticed the most minute details about a woman from the way their stomach looks in a crop top to the way their hips fill out a pair of jeans, but she always attributed it more to her love of fashion and aesthetics that made her look. Sure, she's felt more than a little strange watching close-up videos of a woman applying lipstick, or she happens to stare at backup dancers if they're female, and she's extremely in tune with the way someone else's body can move, but Lydia has never thought of this as sexual attraction.
