Lydia Carlisle

Lydia is the eldest daughter of Helena and Elliot Carlisle. She resides at 20 Culpepper House in San Myshuno with her husband, Davis Markham, and her daughter, Gen Markham-Carlisle

Description
Lydia is a very independent woman. Though she does not have the trait, she is non-committal, and hates feeling trapped. She is nearly at the top of the military career. She loves her husband, but never intended to marry him or have children. They only got married years after having their daughter. She is committed to athleticism, especially running, and exercises nearly every day.

Childhood
When Lydia was born, her parents resided at 2A Jasmine Suites in San Myshuno. Her father mostly worked from home, so the two were close. Her sister, Sonia, was born a few years later. When she was a child, her parents moved to 701 Zenview, in the Fashion District, as her parents began to make more money. Her youngest sister, Keeley, was born there. She was a good student, and had a good relationship with her sisters.

Adulthood
Lydia came of age early, when both of her parents passed suddenly. Her younger sister Keeley, was still a teenager, and Lydia took care of her, with minimal help from Sonia. When Keeley graduated high school, Lydia joined the military, following the officer track.

Lydia met Davis Markham when he responded to her advertisement seeking a roommate when hers moved away. The two met, and hit it off. They began dating, and Davis's parents moved them to a newly renovated 20 Culpepper House. They adopted a Whippet puppy, named Comet. They used their savings to buy a veterinary clinic, Markham Clinic, that Davis worked at and ran.

Lydia adamantly did not want marriage, or a child. She was very happy in their relationship, and wanted nothing to change. Davis desired to have a child, though, and gave Lydia an ultimatum, as they entered into the adult stage of life. Lydia hesitantly agreed to have one child. On their first attempt, they were unsuccessful. She hoped that they would be unable to conceive. However, this was not the case, and Lydia became pregnant. The couple welcomed a daughter, Genevieve Markham-Carlisle. Lydia did not take maternity leave, instead leaving her husband to take care of Gen. She continued climbing the ranks in her career.
