Over All Personality (At least 3 Paragraphs): "I am here and you will know that I am the best and will hear me." Leontyne Price.
...okay, so not that obnoxious, but this girl likes to be heard, and not pushed to the side. Lydia is usually a peacemaker, and tries to get people talking rather than punching out their eyes. Being only eleven, and not too keen with the moral aspects of the world, Lyddi tells it like it is. No "Well, that dress is...cute," more like "Why on earth would you wear that bag'a rags?!"
Lydia has a sense of humor, even if sometimes it's a bit blunt. But she can be secretive sometimes, due to her...gift. It makes her irritable towards people if they see her performing telekenisis, due to past experience. She doesn't like to show her power.
History[/u][/size]
Parents: Janice Cromwell, 35 -- Martin Cromwell, 37
Siblings (If any): Only child
Family History (At least 2 Paragraphs):
It's not like they planned to have a child. They were young, and just in the mood for some fun. Well. Fun turned into 'Oh-Lord-I'm-Preggers.' So what did Martin Cromwell do? Ran away, at first, but then came to his senses when Janice was about 5 months pregnant. He proposed to her, with the promise that they'd be married when their son or daughter was about 5 years old; they should be a part of the wedding too, he thought.
May 24 finally came, and out came a blonde haired, grey-blue-eyed baby girl. The Cromwells were thrilled, and threw her a coming home party when Janice was allowed to return home. Everything was fine; all the relatives were in love with her, and the little girl was practically spoiled. Then, while the adults were having cake and coffee, a rattle from the pile of gifts began to float towards Lydia. The entire party froze, both entranced and completely bewildered by what had happened. Martin seemed the most shaken, and excused himself for the night to his bedroom.
The next couple of weeks were hard, with normal baby cares to attend to and her making stuff float in the air. One day, Janice found an envelope on the table, containing about 500$ in it and a letter from Martin:
"I will not be the father of a mutant. Goodbye, Janice."
Self History (At least 2 Paragraphs):
Lydia never actually met her father, but she knew the story of why she didn't have one. For the first couple of years, she felt guilty, like it was her fault she had this unknown power. Then one day, while cleaning out some old things in her mother's room, Lyddi found the letter Martin had left. After this, she felt nothing but hatred for her father and pity for her mother. It wasn't her fault the guy she had a child with was vain.
She went on to discover how to control her telekenisis, and got pretty good at it, unless Lydia was angry or something. She can move two objects at once at a normal speed, or one object rather fast. The girl is close to her mother and her mother's side of the family, while she wants and has nothing to do with her father or his family, save his mother who occasionally writes to her.

Wand: Yew, 11 inches, Dragon heartstring
Pets: Cat named Lunalee
Special Possessions: A locket, it's like her security blanket that calms her when her powers get out of hand.
