Lydia’s Beginnings
Lydia had been a part of the army community for many years, building up her experience and personal history through the different armies she has affiliated with. Her journey began in 2019 when she joined the Doritos of Club Penguin. However, she left shortly after and moved on to the Ice Warriors. After her time there, Lydia joined the Templars of Club Penguin, where she eventually reached the rank of Leader-in-Training.
In 2021, Lydia joined the Underground Mafias Army, where she joined their High Command. She eventually led the UMA for some time until its closure. After some time, she returned to the army community after a break and began leading a multitude of small/medium armies, adding to her leadership skills.
Determined to make her mark, she joined the Water Vikings, fading in and out under the leadership of Dino, Cabin, and Mabel, before becoming a permanent member under Raven’s leadership.
