Overview
Here's Lydia—after a few months of constant tweaking and building on my initial concept. She's always been a comfort character of mine, and I wanted to attempt to bring her into Virt-A-Mate to be able to dress-up, pose, and cuddle with. There were several requests on where she could be found, so I've decided to release her for free to the community.
Photos in the Overview section are using my custom ReShade preset, which is not provided. All photos following in the Included section are using only what you can access in VAM for a more accurate representation of how the model will look.
Lydia is my take on a Tsuyome/Onee Gyaru, heavily inspired by Marin Kitagawa from My Dress-Up Darling, and Lynae from Wuthering Waves as her primary influences. She loves clubbing, shopping, modeling, and cosplaying, trying to study at university to bring her own fashion line to the wider world. As an ex-barista, she's a coffee snob, and is a heavy critic of larger coffee chains and their terribly burnt coffee beans. Her goal is to run her own fashion line, or her own coffee shop chain to take on the big names and bring the focus back from mass-produced junk into more hand-crafted products.
Beneath the gyaru veneer she has a heart of gold, and is a warm, kind-hearted person. Despite her father being a rich, billionaire tech mogul, and having more money than she could ever spend, in secret she sometimes uses her wealth for philanthropic ventures. That aside, she's a closet otaku and video game nerd, and this sometimes might slip through in public settings despite her best efforts.
She's super special to me, so I hope that you'll take good care of her.

- Beautiful skin textures by MonsterShinkai—my favorite VAM creator.
