She can come off as rude at times, especially when she is upset. She's very hard on herself and has a pessimistic outlook on life. Lydia also has strong morals and will not hesitate to say what she thinks about someone's behavior if she thinks that it's wrong. She can also be seen as bossy sometimes, as she can often be seen telling her friends what to do or how things should be done.

She sometimes has a short temper and can yell or lose her temper at people. She can be seen as a bully sometimes, especially with her family members.
Personality Profile
Lydia is a Nord housecarl obtained upon completion of the quest "Dragon Rising." She receives the title of Housecarl from Balgruuf the Greater in Dragonsreach, immediately after the Dragonborn is promoted to the title of Thane. As Housecarl, she is sworn to protect the Dragonborn with her life, and to carry their burdens. She is a follower, as well as a marriage candidate for the Dragonborn. If the Dragonborn and Lydia part ways, she returns to Dragonsreach. If Breezehome in Whiterun is owned, she will return there instead. If enough time was spent with her, she may gift the Dragonborn with a radiant item upon reuniting with her. Lydia is primarily a melee-type character and uses no spells. As with some other melee-oriented followers, she has tendency to simply rush into combat, possibly leading to her death. She also has very low Sneak skill, alerting enemies of her presence nearly immediately. She is voiced by Colleen Delany, the voice actress of Ria, Mephala, female Bosmer Bandits.
