Lydia/Cora is the femslash pairing of Lydia Martin and Cora Hale of the television show Teen Wolf. Its portmanteau name is Cordia.
Canon
The relationship between Cora and Lydia started to develop after the two first met in Season 3. Although they were initially not on civil terms, due to Cora's hatred of Aiden, Lydia's then-friend-with-benefits, as well as the rest of the Alpha Pack for holding her hostage and killing Vernon Boyd and Erica Reyes. However, Lydia wasn't intimidated by Cora's threats, and after the two joined Stiles Stilinski in trying to get Lydia to use divination techniques in conjunction with her yet-undefined powers to track down the captured Alan Deaton, the two grew closer and became allies and tentative friends. At the end of the first half of the season, Cora and Lydia worked together to get Ethan and Aiden (who had defected from the Alpha Pack and tried to protect Cora's brother Derek Hale from Kali) to the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic to have their lives saved by Alan Deaton. However, their friendship has since been separated due to Cora returning to her old pack in South America.[1]
