So, Crystallis has not been kind to Lydia. As found out in the 'bad' future-vision, where she went full-out-nihilist to destroy everything.
Things she's repressing: - That this fight really is hopeless - That she can try all she wants, but she'll always end up alone. - That she misses her home, and her friends, and her family. - That she is in over her head, and has no clue what she's doing. - That she really is just an ordinary little girl--nothing special or worth much.
Things she fears/hides: - She's ordinary and shallow. I mean really, what if her interest in the dark and spooky is just a facade? - That she might be a bully, pulling her friends along to do what she thinks is fun, whether they want to or not. - That she is useless, ultimately. She talks big, but what does it really matter? She's always relied on her best friend's magic to get out of trouble. - That she'll never be the (step)daughter Delia wants her to be. Does she even want to? Delia is a flake, and status-seeker. Her father is a coward and neurotic to an extreme, and maybe it's Lydia's fault.
Overall her 'fight' is likely to be very mean-girl-esque and discussion based. Rejection is high, if Lydia is left to face it on her own. On the other hand, since one of the things she's repressing is her fear of BEING alone, and being useless by herself, how helpful can her friends BE?
