Biography
Around 2020, when in her early teens, Lydia used to model for Midnight Arms, though she claims they never payed her back. Ever since she's taken a personal approach when dealing with them.

At some point after the Fourth Corporate War, Lydia — now known by her nickname Woodchipper — settled in the outskirts of Heywood in Night City. By 2045, and due to the rise of nomad population during the Time of the Red, this led to a steady increase in conflicts between nomad families. Many times when arriving at Night City these nomads would seek mediation, and Woodchipper's Garage was often where they went to as long as they came in peacefully and without any guns, otherwise she would kick them out. On behalf of the Aldecaldos, Woodchipper would help them resolve their disputes; from squabbles over reclaimed land, to interpersonal conflicts, or quarrels over dock space in South Night City and popular camping parking lots in Santo Domingo and Rancho Coronado. To her, it was all about personal relationships and earning trust. For her clients, she was equal parts extralegal judge, private investigator, and marriage counselor.

Working close with nomads brought the attention of the Fixers around Night City, who sought to trade with the nomadic packs. As such, every week they asked her if she had anything of interest, especially weaponry. And so, in addition to being a mediator, Woodchipper also used her garage to store all the items that she or her nomad colleagues brought from their travels, selling anything the Fixers took an interest in.
