The Characters

Lydia Rose
The Witch
(Played by - Tabitha)

Lydia is a fairly-powerful and knowledgeable Wiccan, who ran a small, recently-opened Magic-Shop in town that was frequented by Xander and Ramone. As such, she had been privy to some of the goings-on within the group.

Lydia is part of a large Wicca coven, and as such she has access to a great deal of supernatural lore and intel. Through her own observations and divinations, she discovered that Huntington had indeed become a locus for supernatural beings, and suspected the presence of a Hellmouth. Her suspicions were finally confirmed by Xander when she finally became a Scooby proper during the group's efforts against the reborn Order of Aurelius. She quickly proved her worth by assisting Ramone with some rather powerful spells, and also displayed her abilities as a healer after Xander was injured by the possessed Beth Riel.

Speaking of Xander, the pair developed a strong mutual attraction, and eventually started dating. The relationship had every sign of becoming rather serious when Xander told her he'd soon be moving on to Mexico in order to begin the training of a pair of twin Slayers. Determined to continue exploring their relationship and also feeling the need to feed her urge to travel, Lydia offered to go with him, and he eagerly accepted. Together, she and Xander have spent the past year there, where she's proven herself to be a good instructor in her own right.

Personality

Lydia is friendly and quick-witted. She's the type of person who often winds up being popular at parties and other social gatherings because she always tells the best stories and the best jokes. She's also an admitted nerd and pop-culture fanatic, which would seem to run contrary to her affable nature. However, Lydia is simply a person who long ago came to terms with just who and what she is, and she isn't afraid to be herself.

Skills and Abilities

Lydia has studied the spell-casting aspects of Wicca for several years now, and has learned to tap into her own innate magical ability. As such, she now learns very quickly and easily. Most of her spells are benign in nature, and fairly small in scale, and she shows a particular affinity for healing magics. However, given the happenings in and around town, she has recognised the need to develop more powerful defense-oriented spells to her repertoire. Lydia is well-versed in Latin and speaks fluent Spanish, which is of particular use to both herself and Xander now that they have relocated to Mexico for the time-being.
