Lydia Bennet

She is a pretty girl like her sisters. She is the tallest of the 5 girls. She is healthy,strong, and has a fine complexion. She is a mothers girl. She is kind of crazy. She is the total opposite of Elizabeth and the other sisters. She is gossipy, immature, and self-involved. She likes to dance. She is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. She attended Mr. Bingelys Ball with her family and friends.

"If you were aware, said Elizabeth, "of the very great disadvantage to us all, which must arise from the public notice of Lydia's unguarded and imprudent manner; nay, which has already arisen from it, I am sure you would judge differently in the affair. "Our importance, our respectability in the world, must be affected by the wild volatility, the assurance and disdain of all restraint which mark Lydia's character. Excuse me -- for I must speak plainly. If you, my dear father, will not take the trouble of checking her exuberant spirits, and of teaching her that her present pursuits are not to be the business of her life, she will soon be beyond the reach of amendment. Her character will be fixed, and she will, at sixteen, be the most determined flirt that ever made herself and her family ridiculous. A flirt, too, in the worst and meanest degree of flirtation; without any attraction beyond youth and a tolerable person; and from the ignorance and emptiness of her mind, wholly unable to ward off any portion of that universal contempt which her rage for admiration will excite. In this danger Kitty is also comprehended. She will follow wherever Lydia leads. -- Vain, ignorant, idle, and absolutely uncontrolled!" "The happiness anticipated by Catherine and Lydia depended less on any single event, or any particular person, for though they each, like Elizabeth, meant to dance half the evening with Mr. Wickham, he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them, and a ball was, at any rate, a ball." "Mama" cried Lydia, "my aunt says that Colonel Forster and Captain Carter do not go so often to Miss Watson's as they first came; she sees them now very often standing in Clarke's library". Shows that Lydia may watch people closer then she should.
