Lydia Beginsgate, an elf with long silver hair and piercing light blue eyes, commands attention with her striking presence, clad in revealing crimson garments and gladiator armor during combat. Her features mirror those of her descendant, Ireena Litz de Olhyde. A competitive warrior driven by duty, Lydia harbors a predatory streak, fixating on young girls—particularly virgin succubi like Ginny Fin de Salvan—through unwelcome physical advances and suggestive remarks. Three millennia prior to the main events, she served as the Demon Lord Varvatos’s loyal companion and subordinate. Her life ended when Varvatos, compelled by Mevilas the "Cursed King’s" brainwashing, struck her down. Bound eternally to her sword Vald-Galgulus—now wielded by Varvatos’s reincarnation, Ard Meteor—her death spurred his rebirth to honor her plea for him to forge true friendships. In a time-travel conflict against Disaster Rogue, an alternate Ard obsessed with rewriting her fate, Lydia allies with Ard, Ireena, and Ginny. She shatters Rogue’s immortality source, rebuking his refusal to accept her chosen destiny. As the "Champion," she shoulders the burden of protecting others’ hopes, haunted by guilt over slaughtering demons who abandoned Varvatos—a act she seeks to atone for through death, adamant her fate remains fixed. Her relationships fray with complexity: a sharp-tongued yet protective bond with adoptive sister Sylphy Marheaven, clashes with Ard blending rivalry and mutual respect—their duel over Ginny concluding in stalemate—and a fraught dynamic with Ginny, oscillating between objectification and unexpected concern. Lydia wields peerless strength, agility, and combat mastery, rivaling Ard’s prowess. These skills anchor her role as a guardian striving to forge a safer world. Her legacy reverberates through Ard and Ireena’s journeys, etching her influence into the narrative’s core despite her physical absence, embodying themes of redemption, sacrifice, and the weight of power’s consequences.
