List of The Owl House characters

Luz Noceda is a 14-year-old Dominican-American, girl who ends up on the Boiling Isles and becomes both Eda's apprentice and a new exchange student at Hexside Academy. She often feels as though she does not fit in. Luz loves all things fantasy and magical, wanting to become a witch.[1] She finds out that she can use magic by drawing glyphs that she sees within her environment and spell circles witches cast to do magic.[2] She finally became an official student of Hexside,[3] though she was saddened at first as she was only allowed to learn one type of magic at a time, and not combine different magic types. Later however, Luz, with the help of the detention track students, saves the school from a magic eating Greater Basilisk who had disguised herself as the Emperor's Coven inspector. Principal Bump was convinced that mixing magics is not a bad thing, and therefore let the other trouble making students take more than one class, with Luz becoming the first student who is officially allowed to learn magic from all the tracks.[4] At the end of the first season, Luz is forced to destroy her only way home to protect it from being invaded by Emperor Belos.[5]

According to Dana Terrace, Luz is named after her Dominican-American roommate, Luz Batista, a story consultant for the show,[6] and is Disney's first confirmed bisexual lead character, a trait that she had to fight for.[7] Luz is voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles.[8]

Edalyn "Eda" Clawthorne is the 40-something,[9] self-proclaimed most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles, who is Luz's mentor. She is a wanted criminal for selling human items, not joining a coven, and stealing, among other things.[1] Despite her chaotic and uncoordinated approach to teaching magic, Eda knows a lot more about it than she lets on, and is effective in performing complicated tricks.[10] Eda happily despises Hexside Academy of Magic and Demonics, of which she attended when she was little, and was further pleased to see that Luz had been banned following an incident.[11] However, upon realizing that Luz wants more knowledge, she relents and makes a deal with Principal Bump to have her finally attend classes, admitting that she cares about Luz and wants to make her happy.[3] Eda initially claimed that she was called "The Owl Lady" because of her home and similar traits to owls, but it is actually due to a curse placed on her that causes her to turn into an owl monster and must drink an elixir daily to suppress it.[2] Unfortunately, the elixir begins to lose its potency on her.[12] Eda's relationship with her sister Lilith is complicated. While they clearly care about one another, Eda was resistant to wanting to work with her under the Emperor's Coven and openly fought with her to retain her freedom.[13] It was later revealed that Eda, in fact, wanted to join the coven,[14] but upon seeing that Lilith wanted it, was willing to give it up. Ironically, it is revealed that Eda was cursed by Lilith when they fought for the position and she had been working to try and break the curse.[15] Eventually, the sisters make up just as Eda's condition worsens. Lilith decides to share Eda's curse, resulting in the two of them getting two different colored eyes.[5]

Wendie Malick compared the character to previous roles in her career, "When I saw Eda I immediately went 'oh, that's my girl'... she even dresses a little bit like Nina Van Horn from Just Shoot Me!... I love her dress, I love her tooth... I just fell in love with her the second I saw her".[16]

King is a small wolf-like demon with a skull-like head and Eda's roommate who is the self-proclaimed King of Demons. While it is not known if he truly is the King of Demons, he certainly retains an overly confident and domineering attitude that implies that he once held some greatness. He was initially frightened of Luz when he first met her, but warmed up to her appearance when she helped him.[1] While she continues to coddle him, King wants to be seen as "cool" and claims to have vast knowledge of all monsters and demons, though some of it might be based on his own false presumptions. Regardless, he is willing to acknowledge it if it was incorrect.[2] His relationship with Eda ranges from two casual roommates to a child and his aunt. While he is quick to poke fun at her, he cares about her and wanted to help repress her curse.[17] King is shown to be bossy and manipulative, but ultimately shows his heroic and caring side whenever he and his friends are in danger.[18] His ultimate goal seems to be to obtain followers and have absolute power. This results in him finding himself in ludicrous situations such as bringing dolls to life to do his bidding,[19] becoming a teacher at Hexside,[4] and using Eda in her monster form to rule a playground.[12] All efforts usually result in him losing this "power" and things going back to normal. Despite his rambunctious nature, he begins to act more dog-like around Luz and openly misses her whenever she goes out to Hexside or hangs out with someone other than him.[20]

Hooty is the witty house demon (as he is classified as in "Hooty's Moving Hassle" by Patch and in "Agony of a Witch" by Lilith) of the titular house. Themed after a barn owl (with giant legs that he can walk around with when given the power to, a lá Baba Yaga),[17] he uses the owl-headed doorknocker to interact with the world around him by stretching his neck to allegedly infinite lengths; he tends to act surreal, awkward, and/or annoying, though this often results in comedic moments for the audience to view.[21] Often, his odd behavior happens when no one is in the house.[14] Despite all this, he is fully capable of taking care of himself as he can reliably attack with his neck.[15] Hooty sometimes has a habit of wanting to be seen as enigmatic or mysterious. He does this by trying to pose riddles to people including Eda, but this usually results in him getting injured. Apparently, he feels everything affecting the house itself[1][11] and at one point, his door was ripped off, causing him to become unconscious, complete with x eyes. However, by the end of the episode, he is returned and fully conscious.[2]

Willow Park is a student at Hexside and Luz and Gus’s friend who is skilled with plant magic. Originally, Willow was placed in the abomination track, due to her parents' wishes. She was terrible at performing on this track, which caused much bullying from her classmates, especially Amity Blight, who would call her "Half-a-Witch Willow". Upon meeting Luz for the first time, the two attempted to improve her image, which works up to a certain point. Eventually, Willow was forced to use her plant magic, which upon being viewed by Principal Bump, allowed her to transfer to the plant magic track.[11] Since then, Willow has grown from a shy and insecure girl to a confident and even level-headed individual who tends to act as the voice of reason to Luz's eccentricity and Gus' over-confidence.[17] She and Amity used to be close friends since childhood, but due to Amity's parents not wanting to associate with her due to her lack of magic, Amity cut ties with her, causing great misery to both her and Amity. Willow eventually learns this in "Undestanding Willow" and, while she still does not reaccept Amity's friendship, she appreciates that she is trying to do right by her. In that same episode, Willow is shown to have two dads.[21] In "Wing It Like Witches", Willow's newfound confidence has earned her some respect at Hexside, though some students like Boscha still pick on her.[22] She shows considerable restraint, as while she wanted to use the Green Thumb Gauntlet to expand her plant abilities, she immediately returned it uttering "I just wanted to try it out," though she still used it later to help Luz.[15]

Augustus "Gus" Porter is a student at Hexside and Luz and Willow’s friend who is skilled in illusion magic and is part of the illusion track. He has an obsession with human culture and was amazed when he first met Luz. Completely oblivious to common human norms, such as high fiving and even nicknames, he quickly took to being called Gus for short after Luz told him that she knew someone with a similar name.[11] Since then, Gus has been a prominent friend to Luz, usually taking part in many of the magical shenanigans that they get caught up in. He is well gifted in illusion casting, to the point that he freely moves about the campus while his illusion clone sits in for classes. He was moved up a couple of grades, explaining why he is noticeably younger than Luz and Willow. He was the president of the Human Appreciation Society (H.A.S.), but in a misled effort to retain his title, he lied to Luz about having lifted her ban from the school; leading to them getting into more trouble. He ultimately comes clean, but loses his place as president of H.A.S.[3] Gus is self-assertive, but also looking for the approval of others. Nevertheless, he is very confident and does not seem afraid of speaking his mind on things.[23] When using the oracle sphere to show his "best self", his illusion clone informs him that he is "always [his] best self", news that causes him to weep in satisfaction.[15] His father, Perry, is a news reporter for BBN-HXN.[5]

Amity Blight is a top student at Hexside, and an abomination expert. Upon first meeting, Amity appears to be a brash, entitled, and snooty upper-classman who looks down on those she feels are inferior to her, such as Willow. She is finally put in her place when Luz arrives and makes her lose her cool in front of Principal Bump.[11] In her next appearance, she began to hold severe disdain towards Luz, and they enter a witches' duel to determine whether Luz should continue witch training. However, when Amity is exposed to accidental cheating on Lilith Clawthorne's part, Amity is surprised to see that Luz shows kindness to her, and allows her to continue magic training.[13] Amity slowly begins to show a sentimental side, and is shown to constantly get picked on by her older siblings Emira and Edric. She starts to become fascinated with Luz's obsession with wanting to be friends, and after having a spat with her, they make up and bond over their shared love of The Good Witch Azura.[24] From that point on, Amity's personality changes from slight indifference,[19] to genuine friendliness, yet displays nervousness when wanting to talk to Luz.[4] She even begins making up with Willow, admitting that her distancing was due to her parents' influence and not being good enough to stand up for herself.[21] Amity is later revealed to have a crush on Luz,[23] to the point that she now gets nervous whenever she gets close to her.[22]

Amity is the first major animated Disney character to be a confirmed lesbian.[25]

Hieronymus Bump is the principal of Hexside School of Magic and Demonics who wears a demon-shaped hat over half his face. At first glance, he seems rather imposing and possibly sinister. However, he is simply pressed upon by his job as being the principal of the school and does seem to care about his work.[11] In the episode "Adventures in the Elements," it was revealed that he was the young student responsible in defeating the opposing school, and helped build Hexside, as shown in its information pamphlet.[19]

After the events of "The First Day", he became more accepting of the other students' desire to learn more than one magic type after Luz and her new friends, the detention track students, saved the school from a deadly Greater Basilisk, who tried to consume all the magic from the staff and students, thanks to their mixed magic skills. Since that day, he made it official that students now have the choice to learn more than one magic type.[4]

He has a terse relationship with Eda Clawthorne, whom he has kept a notorious record of during her time at Hexside. The only reason why Bump allowed Luz to attend is because he gleefully roped Eda into cleaning up all the messes she made while she was at Hexside. Bump agreed with Eda to keep quiet to the Emperor's Coven of their deal.[3]

When Emperor Belos announced his intent to have Eda face the irreversible petrification, Bump was among the people who voiced his disapproval; claiming that she had helped him love teaching again after she left, of course.[5]

Lilith Clawthorne is Eda's estranged older sister and, until the events of the episode "Young Blood, Old Souls", leader of the Emperor's Coven. Lilith and Eda have a strained relationship, with the former insisting on coming with her to see Emperor Belos.[13] She gets humiliated time and time again by Eda, who stymies her at every turn. It was greatly implied that she had genuinely good motives for wanting to have Eda come with her when she unknowingly admits to Luz that Eda wanted to join the Emperor's Coven when she was little.[14] Despite their terse relationship, the two of them do express longing for some kind of reconnection.[22]

In "Agony of a Witch", it is revealed that she is the one who cursed Eda to turn into the owl monster when they were young, as she was envious of her magical talent and immeasurable power. This led to Lilith's deal with Emperor Belos after she felt guilty for what she did to her sister.[15]

Following Luz's duel with Emperor Belos, Lilith betrays the Emperor to help Luz and uses her magic to split the curse with Eda, resulting in the two of them getting matching split colored eyes.[5]

Emperor Belos is a mysterious and sinister masked man who is the ruler of the Boiling Isles and the most powerful witch alive, to whom the Emperor's Coven serve personally. According to history, Emperor Belos got rid of the troublesome demons and witches that were affecting the Titan, and arranged for the rest of the magic users to use their magic the right way. This led to him establishing different covens, where those who don't join are sentenced to an irreversible petrification. Lilith joined the Emperor's Coven in order for Emperor Belos to honor her deal to cure Eda of her owl monster curse. When she finally caught Eda and restored her mind while she was still in her owl monster form, Belos went back on his word with Lilith to cure Eda's curse. Belos plots to access the human world on the Day of Unity.[5]
