			=== Early life ===
	Born into relative comfort, Lydia was initially reluctant to join the Brotherhood like the rest of her family, choosing to focus on her studies instead. Through her education, she nevertheless realized the extent of the Templars' influence throughout the world. This, coupled with the loss of friends and family to the [[Assassin-Templar War]], led Lydia to eventually accept her Assassin heritage and join the fight against the Templars.<ref name="LydiaDatabase">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Database: Lydia Frye]]</ref>		Born into relative comfort, Lydia was initially reluctant to join the Brotherhood like the rest of her family, choosing to focus on her studies instead.

	As her parents were frequently absent, engaged in missions for the Brotherhood abroad, Lydia turned to her grandfather and her grand-aunt, [[Evie Frye]], for training.

	At some point, Lydia fell in love with fellow Assassin Sam Crowder, whom she married shortly before the outbreak of World War I.

	==~~Trivia~~==		==Behind the scenes==
	*Lydia is a ~~name of~~ [[~~Greece\|Greek~~]] ~~origin, derived from the word~~ ''~~Luddia'' (Λυδια), which means "from Lydia"~~, a ~~region on~~ the ~~west coast of~~ [[~~Anatolia\|Asia Minor~~]]. ~~Frye~~ is ~~a derivative of the English word ''free''~~.		Lydia Frye is a character introduced in the 2015 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'', where she is playable in several memories set during World War I through a glitch in the [[Helix]] caused by [[Juno]]. She is voiced by [[Canada\|Canadian]] actress [[Lisa Norton]].
	*Lydia was referred to as "Miss Frye" by Churchill, suggesting he was unaware of her status as a married woman. Alternatively, Lydia could have kept her family name, rather than take on that of her husband.
	*Sometimes, likely as a result of oversight in development, allies will refer to Lydia as her grand-aunt, Evie. For example, when rescuing allies during a spy hideout mission, allies will respond "How's it going, Evie?" upon being freed.
