Lydia (The Walking Dead)

Lydia is a main character and a former antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She was a member of the Whisperers and is the daughter of the group's leader, "Alpha". During an attack against the survivors, Lydia is captured and taken hostage at the Hilltop Colony to be interrogated for information about her group's motives.

Eventually, Lydia forms a relationship with Henry as well as a parental bond with Daryl Dixon. She is returned to her mother in a trade, but is rescued shortly after. Following her rescue and reformation, Lydia is exiled by her mother during the fair at the Kingdom and relocates to the Alexandria Safe-Zone under Daryl's protection and parental guidance.

Months after the fair massacre, Lydia tries to live a normal life but becomes the target of paranoia and bullying by members of the Coalition due to being a former Whisperer. She eventually runs away from the community after being tricked by Carol and used as proof of Alpha's lies. While away, Lydia rethinks her actions and saves Daryl over her own mother, finally choosing to be with the communities despite their flaws.
