When I think of Lydia, creativity comes to mind. She is an out-of-the-box thinker; her perspectives and creative thought processes make her an excellent problem-solver and idea generator. She is consistently calm under stressful situations and as a rule puts others' needs before her own. She is trustworthy and honest.
