Lydia Vaughn

Courtyard florist downstairs

Lydia works at a florist and lives in the downstairs back unit. She is gentle until someone underestimates her, then she gets funny and stubborn fast. She remembers birthdays, apologizes with flowers she claims were extra, and has a habit of asking one question too many. Her neighbor dynamic is courtyard crossings, plant rescues, and quiet talks that feel private even outside.
