Lydia Nicolae was a Shuvani Gypsy of the Nicolae clan and wielder of the Evil Eye. She was the sister of Marina Nicolae, as well as the aunt of Ava Nicolae, and spoke fluent Romanian. When the Gypsy Hunter, Orin, went after her and her family, she tried to bring her niece, Ava Nicolae, back into the Gypsy fold, but was tragically killed in the attempt. Ava later avenged her by invoking her spirit, along with the spirits of the rest of their family, to vanquish Orin.
