For playing sports, she wears a red t-shirt with yellow edges and the number '1', black pants with red stripes on the sides, and white and light blue shoes.

Personality
Lydia wants kids to know that even though she's in a wheelchair, she can do what everyone else can do, but in her own way. She likes to draw and design T-shirts. She also likes track, baseball, and basketball.

Character development
Lydia was the winning character in the "All Kids Can Character Search" contest, created by Connor Gordon of Savage, Minnesota. Her last name, Gordon, is a reference to Connor Gordon.

A local news interview with Connor from KARE, an NBC affiliate in the Minneapolis-St Paul area, hints that Lydia may become a main character on the show. In fact, Lydia was already planned to be in two future episodes. The status on these two episodes is uncertain. However, Lydia is going to appear in season 18, although details are limited.

Originally, Lydia was planned to not have been born without use of her legs. Connor Gordon said she dove into the shallow end of a swimming pool when she was seven and a spinal injury paralyzed her from the waist down.
