Lydia Vandaariff

As the only daughter of the wealthy Lord Robert Vandaariff, Lydia is an excellent match for any single man of wealth and status. She's beautiful and tries her best to be well-mannered. Of course, she does have ambition. Marriage to Karl-Horst, the crowned prince of Macklenburg, gives Lydia what she's wants more than anything: a chance to be a princess. Unbeknownst to Lydia, she has become an integral part in the Comte's alchemical plans...

Miss Temple first encounters Lydia in The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters. By then, it is far too late into the Cabal's plans for Lydia and her husband for Miss Temple to help the lost girl very much.

Appearance
Lydia is thin and blonde and lovely. She has an extensive wardrobe in her rooms at Harschmort House.

Personality
It is implied that Lydia has an adversarial relationship with her powerful father. She is spoiled and can be moody and even rude. It is possible that she does love Karl-Horst. How much of her feelings for the prince come from her desire to be a princess is unclear.
