Fans ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhave cosplayed nearly every character from the game since its release back in 2011. However, there’s a recent cosplay that sheds new light on Lydia from a close-up view.
Lydia is one of the first companions that players are likely to come across inSkyrim. A cosplayer known as DarthKweeva on Reddit recently shared their take on Lydia with theSkyrimcommunity. In spite of criticism towards the companion being mentioned in the title by DarthKweeva themselves, Redditors are praising the new take on the classic character.

DarthKweeva’s Lydia cosplay is mostly centered around a body-painted piece of armor thatSkyrimfans will be familiar with. With Lydia being one of theearlier characters in Skyrim, the cosplay is immediately recognizable. The level of detail on this chest piece is impressive, and although it isn’t perfectly symmetrical, it has thatElder Scrollscharm to it.
In addition to the impressive body paint, DarthKweeva’s attention to detail for the cosplay’s face is also noticeable. DarthKweeva has made their face sterner with the Lydia cosplay, and the sharp point to their eye make-up makes their gaze as piercing as Lydia’s constant stare. DarthKweeva’s brunette hair is nearly identical to Lydia’s inSkyri,and the addition of a small weave on one side makes it stand out even more.
Players will meet Lydia inSkyrimafter they defeat the dragon at Whiterun’s watchtower, typically within the first few hours of playtime. She’s likely the first companionSkyrimfans will have, as she’s unlocked after defeating the watchtower dragon. DarthKweeva hasn’t only stuck to Lydia fromSkyrim,as she’s also cosplayed as Serana. Other gaming characters DarthKweeva has cosplayed asinclude Lady Dimitrescu, Joker, and Venom.
Skyrimfans took to DarthKweeva’s cosplay post primarily to discuss how regularly Lydia blocks doorways. When asked how often DarthKweeva blocks entrances, the Reddit user responded by saying it’s one of their favorite pastimes. OneSkyrimfan lamented the fact that they lost their Lydia early on in the game and never looked back despite howunforgettable theElder Scrollscharacter is.
ThisSkyrimcosplay from DarthKweeva isn’t fully established, as the Reddit user simply shared a headshot, but it’s a detailed start to a full cosplay. Lydia has more armor when players meet her inSkyrim,and they can further customize her by giving her weapons to wield. DarthKweeva hasn’t teased whether or not they’ll be fleshing thisSkyrim cosplayout more.
