Characters Reading: Lydia Martin (Teen Wolf)

This picture of Lydia Martin reading the textbook "Thermodynamic: Asymmetry in Time" pretty much sums up who she is. She's so unbelievably smart and at the end of the series she was accepted to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) but during the first season of Teen Wolf, she was pretending to be dumb while she kept up a shallow mean girl persona. Her only focus at the time (while she hid her intelligence) was on maintain her popularity, dating Jackson Whittemore (the Captain of the lacrosse team) and looking her best.

Thankfully her character progressed. I think once Lydia became involved with the supernatural and embraced her new ability as a Banshee, it gave her the acceptance she needed to no longer have to pretend to be shallow and vapid. She may have lost her Queen B status, which at that point I don't think she even seemed to care about anymore, because she ended up gaining real friends in Allison, Scott, Stiles, Kira, Malia and the rest of the group. And not to mention she got to show how fiercely intelligent she was.
