As Teen Wolf gets ready to come to an end, it's hard not to reflect back on all the characters that helped us fall in love with the show. It's amazing to see the difference 6 seasons make, and how our favorite characters changed. It's no secret that Lydia Martin, played by Holland Roden, is one of the best the show has ever known. Here are 9 reasons to love Lydia Martin.

1. She basically invented character development

From the popular girl who only dated jerks and pretended not to be smart, to an intelligent woman who stands up for herself and does good with her pack. Season 1 Lydia has come a long way.

2. She learned to be strong on her own

Lydia used to run and cry anytime life got hard. She used to cover up her pain with makeup and a fake smile, but now she proudly wears her scars and keeps her head held high.

3. She doesn't have too much patience

One of my favorite things about Lydia is her ability to be upfront, honest, and even brutal. She'll let you know if you're being ridiculous and or if she doesn't like what you're saying.

4. Sarcasm is her second language

Again, Lydia isn't around to play games. Her use of sarcasm isn't meant to make someone laugh, but to remind them that she isn't stupid and won't put up with anything she doesn't have to.

5. She's protective of her pack

Look no further when it comes to loyalty. Lydia, as only a banshee with no super strength, constantly puts herself in harms way to protect the people she loves. So bad-ass.

6. She's brutally honest

I can't say it enough, Lydia loves being up front. I guess the fact that she lays it all out there and says what's on her mind is what I love most about her. Don't ever put anything past this woman.

7. She is a hair and fashion icon

Every episode Lydia is ready to serve up a LOOK. Always flawless and always killing it. If only I dressed and looked like she did in high school, I would land me a Stiles Stilinski too.

8. She's the best banshee you've ever known

Remember when little Lydia had no idea what she was and what she could do? How cute and innocent. Now she can shatter windows and even blow off heads with just a scream.

9. And the best character you know

There's no denying it, Lydia Martin is a character for the ages. Can't even begin to explain how mighty this woman is and how life-changing she's been over the pasty 6 seasons.
