: : : Lydia. The psycho Four from Hell. Catty, possessive, and prepared to go to any lengths
: : to get Gary (although why she would want to, I don't know.)

: Are you sure about Lydia? I thought of her more as an eight: extremely agressive and very sexual. She can be quite intimidating. I agree she is possessive but can't that be an eight's determination to win and be the stronger contender? Also, I didn't see any real moodiness in her, or a whole lot of introspection but maybe I'm forgetting some scenes.

No, I'm not sure. She could be an Eight. It's a while since I saw the film, so I can't remember exactly why I was so sure that she was a Four.
I don't think she was quite self-confident enough to be an Eight - she seemed to me to be aggressive to cover up her own insecurities. She tried
too hard to be the centre of attention rather than taking it for granted the way an Eight would do. Also, she was more scheming and nagging than
blunt and direct - and I have the impression that when an Eight walks out on someone, she does not show up on their balcony the next morning.
But no I'm not sure really.
(If she was a Four, she has a Three wing rather than a Five wing.)
