Lydia Bennet

Lydia Bennet (Mary Kate Wiles, born December 21s, 1991) is the youngest Bennet child, currently attending community college. She is "feisty, energetic, and unapologetic." She has also created a series of her own videos starring herself, her cousin Mary, and her cat, Kitty; called The Lydia Bennet.

Appearance
Lydia considers herself the prettiest of the Bennet sisters. She has red hair, like her sisters, but in a more vibrant and light shade. She has blue eyes, like her sister Lizzie Bennet, and pale skin.

In earlier episodes she wears revealing clothes fit for a party in vibrant colours. After her toxic relationship with George takes over, she slowly reverts to wearing more washed-out colours like grey and white. At the end of the series, she starts wearing colours again, though faded to symbolize her traumatic experience which still affects her.

Personality
"Lydia. We are all very proud that she's now officially too old to be in any television reality show about being pregnant in high school. Seriously, she's like a puppy. A cute, never-know-where-she-sleeps, puppy"

Lydia often appears as a typical party-girl who is irresponsible, immature and superficial. She likes to party, drink and flirt.This is from her sister Lizzie's point of view, however. Though she herself doesn't brag about it, Lydia is actually quite smart, gaining straight A's in community college and actively researching costume theatre, whereas Lizzie simply "wings it". She is also the only Bennet sister to stay in contact with their cousin Mary Bennet. Lydia has an intricate web of spies/friends, and she's usually the one to catch the family up on what their friends are doing. She also never forgets a promise, which is how she gets Lizzie to plug her videos often and how she got Kitty Bennet.

Caroline Lee unflatteringly describes her as "energetic" in a negative rant about the Bennet family. Lydia can hold a grudge for a very long time, as proved by Lizzie. She and Lizzie are actually alike in the way that they hate changing their mind and admitting their wrong-doings.

Lydia actively looks for the love and support of her sisters, even when they don't give it to her. She applies to be Lizzie's side-kick, visits Jane in Los Angeles when she's feeling lonely and makes Lizzie a care-package when her ex is seeing other women. According to Jane, Lydia always listens to her elder sisters, but they forget to listen to her.

George Wickham abuses this fact and starts dating Lydia while she's in a fight and is able to convince her that Jane and Lizzie will never see her as part of their clique "The Bennet Sisters". He is able to play in on her hidden insecurities of being untalented, being unloved by her sisters and not being taken seriously.

Storyline
Lydia's storyline isn't as featured in Lizzie's videos as Jane's, possibly because Lydia has not made a career choice yet and isn't as close to Lizzie as Jane. Her storylines are mainly comical ones of her taking Lizzie out on drunk adventures and spying on Bing Lee.

Lydia makes her own videos while Jane and Lizzie are at Netherfield, featuring their cousin Mary Bennet. They form a close friendship.

In December, everyone returns home for the holidays. Lydia turns 21 and parties for several days before Lizzie gifts her a self-help book on how to be a responsible adult. Lydia takes this as an insult and Lizzie refuses to apologize, causing them to not speak after Christmas. For Newyears, Lydia goes to Las Vegas where she meets George Wickham, whom she starts dating.

George isolates Lydia from her family and emotionally manipulates and abuses her. He eventually convinces her to make a sex-tape, even though she doesn't want to at first. She only did it because, according to him, she needed to prove her love for him. He then sold the sex-tape to a company promising to release it on Valentine's Day.

When Lydia finds out, she hides in her room for days on end until the website is brought down by William Darcy. Lydia tells Lizzie and warms up to Darcy. She gets close to her sisters again in the series finale, going out for frozen yoghurt with Lizzie.
