Lydia believed deeply in community; she saw the interconnectedness of all things, from the smallest sparrow chirping on a rooftop to the grand clock tower that chimed each hour, marking the passage of time for all.

She found immense satisfaction in simple acts of kindness, believing they held the power to weave together the fabric of society. Evenings were spent tending to her window boxes overflowing with herbs and wildflowers, each bloom a testament to her belief in nurturing life in all its forms.
