Lydia is the definition of a perfect lady, and has been her entire life. With a light, pale complexion, porcelain features and a natural grace. Prim, proper, elegant and always put together without a single hair out of place. Her own father was a duke, and so she was married to Gerard in her first season. They did not marry for love as it was arranged. She however, was ambitious in who she wished to marry and someone who was below the rank of heir and future duke, simply would not do.
[break][break]
Lydia continues to be her put together self, despising disorganization or someone who appears disheveled in any way possible. She like her husband, has very high standards for her daughters marriages. She cares a great deal about how society perceives them and will therefore go to any lengths to protect her family and its reputation. Despite her desperation to give him a son, she was only able to produce daughters and while she loves them, forever feels that regret that she could not give an heir to the Talbot name. It is, the only reason she agreed to his plan of reclaiming Bellamy -- along with her own hatred for Gerard's brother.[break][break]
Regarding the illegitimate son, Lydia despises him. He serves as a reminder that a courtesan provided her husband with what she could not. She is not jealous of any mistresses he had taken but rather, the jealousy and anger stems from her unable to do what another woman did. So while she will smile in the eyes of the ton, and play the role of the perfect, doting mother to her son . . .within the Talbot household, she shows no restraint in displaying her dislike, resentment and utter annoyance with Bellamy who is ever so present.
[break][break]
Lydia is determined to have her daughters marry early -- not wishing them to be at an age of rumours starting to be spread as to why they are not. She like her husband, socializes only with those of nobility or higher. She is quite a gossip as well, sharing in group of mamas who share and spread gossips and scandals when discovered around the ton. [break][break]
