Lydia Adler



Lydia Caterina Adler (b. 1995) is a fire (ignis) but is also a Quintus. Because of this, she can change into any animal, turn invisible, fly, teleport, and have some basic power over the other elements, including Chaos. The daughter of a famed Quintus and her husband, Lydia was denied entry into the Academy because she was deemed dangerous. Instead, she has trained at the Fire Temple in Italy. She has a considerable amount of power over the Academy and is even seen challenging the Head. She often has her way and is the only person in the series, besides Arcadia and Kahleena, who can People Speak.

In the middle of Book 3, Lydia is let back into the Academy, as the girls (Arcadia, Mia, and Moose) vouch for her. As she has never met Brooke, she does not have any emotional attachment and fights against chaos willingly. She rooms with Mia.

Early Life
Lydia was born in Cardiff, England, on January 18, 1995. She has an older sister, Kahleena, who is 22. Kahleena is not a Quintus and takes college classes at the local university while juggling life as the top financial advisor to the mayor of Cardiff. She is sometimes called apon by both the Fire Temple and the Academy beacause of her People Speaking abilities. Her younger brother, Marc, is 16 and continues to be a student at the fire temple. Her father has been married four times:

(Age 18) 1st: Caterina neé Ogden (1990 - 1998) Fate: Divorced, father loved another woman)
