Luz Noceda (voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles[1]) is a 14-year-old Afro-Dominican-American girl from Gravesfield, Connecticut who ends up on the Boiling Isles and becomes Eda's apprentice and a new exchange student at Hexside Academy.[2] Luz loves all things fantasy and magical, wanting to become a witch even before receiving training.[3] She often feels as though she does not fit in, which results in poor self-worth when she messes up and a desire to be seen as special and valued, and it is implied her low self-esteem has caused her to have a guilt and martyr complex. She learns she can use magic by drawing glyphs that she sees in the environment and through spell circles witches cast to do magic.[4] After becoming an official student of Hexside,[5] she is disappointed upon learning students are not allowed to study more than one type of magic. Later, however, with help from the detention track students, Luz saves the school from a magic-eating Greater Basilisk who disguised herself as the Emperor's Coven inspector. As a result, Principal Bump is convinced mixing magic is not bad and lets the other trouble-making students study more than one track, with Luz becoming the first student officially allowed to learn magic from all tracks.[6] At the end of season one, Luz is forced to destroy the portal, her only way home, to prevent Emperor Belos from invading it.[7]
In season two, Luz begins teaching Eda and Lilith to use glyph magic as she searches for a way home.[8] Unbeknownst to her, there is a doppelgänger posing as her while living with Camila.[9] She also begins to realize that Amity Blight has a crush on her,[10] with the two of them becoming a couple in "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door".[11] Luz eventually uses a portal to see her mother, and discovers an opportunistic yet kind young basilisk named Vee was posing as her. After convincing her mother to look after her, Luz accidentally gives the impression that she wanted to get away from her, and as she is forced back to the Boiling Isles, she promises her she will come back and stay on Earth.[12] Luz eventually tells Eda and King, but neglects to bring this up to others until Amity finds her cell phone and asks what is happening with her.[13] In "Reaching Out", it is revealed her father passed away when she was young, and she annually collects flowers to remember him.[14] Luz later enacts a plan to help disrupt the Day of Unity by allowing herself to be captured by Kikimora while disguised as Hunter using Gus's illusions.[15] Luz manages to stop the Day of Unity, but is forced to leave King and Eda behind in the Demon Realm and returns to the Human Realm with Amity, Gus, Willow, and Hunter, where she reunites with her mother.[16]
In season three, Luz eventually returns to the Boiling Isles alongside her friends and mother. She finally gains a palisman in the form of a "snake shifter" which she names Stringbean.[17] After reuniting with Eda and King, she also shows compassion towards the Collector, befriending him and learning King's parent, the Titan, has been aiding her through her glyph magic. When Belos possesses the Titan's heart and attempts to kill everyone on the Isles, Luz sacrifices herself to save the Collector's life. After meeting the Titan's spirit in the In-Between Realm, Luz is temporarily given the last of his power, which revives her and allows her to defeat and destroy Belos with help from Eda, King, and Raine Whispers. Afterward, Luz is able to live with her friends and family in both the Human and Demon Realms, after the Collector creates a new, permanent portal door for her. In the series' final scene, when Luz turns 18, everybody throws a "King-ceañera" party for her, to make up for her using her previous three birthdays to help rebuild the Boiling Isles. She also learns that, while her original glyph magic died with the Titan, the growing King has developed new glyphs for her to learn.
According to Dana Terrace, Luz is named after her Dominican-American roommate, Luz Batista, a story consultant for the show,[18] and is Disney's first confirmed bisexual lead character, a trait that she had to fight for.[19]
Eda Clawthorne
Edalyn "Eda" Clawthorne (voiced by Wendie Malick as an adult,[20]Dee Bradley Baker in owl beast form,[21]Natalie Palamides as a young girl), also known as "The Owl Lady", is the self-proclaimed most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles, and Luz's mentor. A reward has been offered for her capture due to her criminal record, which includes offenses such as selling human items, not joining a coven, and theft.[3] Whilst Eda's approach to teaching is often chaotic and uncoordinated, she has a deeper understanding of magic than she lets on, is able to effectively perform powerful spells,[22] and her approach is ultimately instrumental in Luz discovering her own magic. Eda attended Hexside School of Magic and Demonics when she was younger, but now despises it. While she is pleased to see Luz banned from campus following an incident,[23] she relents upon realizing Luz wants more knowledge, and makes a deal with Principal Bump to allow Luz to attend classes, admitting that she cares about Luz and her happiness.[5] Eda initially claims she was called The Owl Lady because of her home and possessing traits similar to owls, but it is later revealed to be due to a curse that causes her to turn into an owl beast and which she must drink an elixir daily to suppress.[4] Over the course of season one, the elixir begins to lose its potency on her, and it becomes harder for her to keep the transformation at bay.[24] Eda's relationship with her sister Lilith is complicated, and while they clearly care about one another, Eda is resistant to working with her under the Emperor's Coven and openly fights with Lilith to retain her freedom.[25] It is later revealed that Eda wanted to join the coven,[26] but was willing to give up her position since Lilith wanted it. It is later revealed that Eda was cursed by Lilith when they fought for the position, and she had been working to try and break the curse.[27] They make up as Eda's condition worsens, and Lilith decides to share the burden of Eda's curse, lessening its effects but greatly weakening their magic and giving them two different colored eyes.[7]
In season two, Eda begins to deal with the fact that she is no longer all-powerful and initially struggles to earn money for the Owl House. With Luz's help, they manage to secure Selkigris and are fiscally secure.[28] In "Echoes of the Past", it is revealed Eda found and took King in when he was a baby, and, while raising him, unintentionally convinced him he was the King of Demons.[29] In "Keeping up A-fear-ances", she reunites with her mother Gwendolyn and makes amends after making her realize that she has been using holistic medicine to hide the shame of her curse.[9] She is also reunited with fellow witch and head of the Bard Coven Raine Whispers, her ex-partner who she is implied to still have feelings for.[30] In "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door", Eda realizes her fear of her curse has caused her to push those close to her away. After confronting her owl-beast side in her dreams, she makes a truce with it and gains the ability to transform into a harpy-like owl-creature.[11] During the Day of Unity, Eda allows herself to be branded with a Bard sigil by the rebel group Covens Against the Throne so she can sneak in and disrupt the ceremony.[15] When the plan fails, Raine pulls off Eda's sigil-branded arm so that she would not be subjected to the spell.[16] She and King reunite with Luz upon her return, and they work together to befriend the Collector and, with Raine's help, destroy Belos for good. In the epilogue of the series, Eda becomes a teacher at a school for wild magic and gains a hook hand.
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".[31]
King
King Clawthorne (voiced by Alex Hirsch in the present,[32]Dana Terrace as a baby and toddler forms, and "squeak of rage" effects) is a small young[29] titan 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 does have a confident and domineering attitude, which implies that he once held some greatness. He was initially frightened of Luz when he first met her, but warmed up to her when she helped him.[3] 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.[4] While he is quick to poke fun at Eda, he cares about her and wants to help repress her curse.[33] King is shown to be bossy and manipulative, but ultimately shows his heroic and caring side whenever he and his friends are in danger.[34] His ultimate goal is to obtain followers and have absolute power, which results in him finding himself in ludicrous situations such as bringing dolls to life to do his bidding,[35] becoming a teacher at Hexside,[6] and using Eda in her monster form to rule a playground.[24] All efforts usually result in him losing this "power" and things going back to normal. Despite his rambunctious nature, he cares for Luz and misses her whenever she goes out to Hexside or hangs out with others.[36]
In season two, King's origins begin to be revealed. In the episode "Echoes of the Past", King is revealed to not be the king of demons. Eda found him as a toddler on an island, being watched over by a strange amorphous creature that she managed to evade. While raising him, she unintentionally convinced him he was the King of Demons. He discovered that he had just hatched from his egg and, believing that his father was someone important, has Luz reattach his horn so he can retain some memories to look for his father.[29] In "Eda's Requiem", he legally gets adopted by Eda and changes his name to King Clawthorne.[30] In "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door", King discovers that he can produce an echoing blast after admitting that he is upset about his father leaving him.[11] In "Edge of the World", it is revealed that King is a Titan.[37] This news affects him emotionally and he begins to question his goals; it is only through a meeting with former Coven Guard Steve that he begins to accept himself.[38] King ends up stopping the Day of Unity by releasing the Collector, who his father had sealed away in the past. King then sends Luz and her friends away to the Human Realm to protect them from the Collector's games.[16] As he spends time with the Collector as his chosen playmate, King comes to understand that he is misguided rather than malicious and discourages Eda and Lilith from attempting to reimprison him. Upon Luz's return, King and Eda reunite with her and aid her in befriending the Collector and destroying Belos once and for all. In the epilogue, King's developing Titan powers allow him to create a new glyph system, which he begins to teach Luz.
Hooty (voiced by Alex Hirsch[39]) is the house demon (as he is classified by Patch in "Hooty's Moving Hassle" and by Lilith in "Agony of a Witch") of the Owl House. He resembles a barn owl, with giant legs that he can walk around with when given the power to, à la Baba Yaga's hut,[33] and uses the owl-headed doorknocker to interact with the world around him by stretching his neck.[40] Often, his odd behavior happens when no one is in the house.[26] Despite this, he is capable of taking care of himself and attacking with his neck.[27] Hooty has a habit of wanting to be seen as enigmatic or mysterious, which he does by posing riddles to people, but this usually results in him getting injured. Apparently, he feels everything affecting the house itself[3][23] and at one point, his door is ripped off, causing him to become unconscious. However, by the end of the episode, he recovers.[4]
In season two, Hooty begins to warm up to Lilith and aims to become her friend, and manages to earn her respect when he helps her secure fire bee honey.[28] In "Echoes of the Past", Hooty is revealed to have the ability to remove himself from the door and reinsert himself into other objects. The process of him physically doing this is not shown, but it is enough to disgust Luz, Lilith, and King.[29] Hooty later becomes distraught when Lilith decides to leave the Owl House.[9] However, he becomes a more supportive figure in his friends' lives as he manages to help King, Eda, and Luz embrace their fears and move forward. During his time with King, Hooty stated that he is under the Bug Demon classification.[11] In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", it is revealed that he is capable of removing his skin to reveal his skeleton.[13]
Supporting
Willow Park
Willow Park (voiced by Tati Gabrielle[41]) is a student at Hexside and Luz, Amity, Gus and Hunter's friend. She is skilled with plant magic, but was originally placed in the Abomination Track due to her parents' wishes. She struggled with this track, which caused her classmates to bully her, calling her "Half-a-Witch Willow". Upon meeting Luz, the two attempt to improve her image. Eventually, Willow is forced to use her plant magic to save Luz, which Principal Bump sees and allows her to transfer to the Plant Track.[23] Since then, Willow has overcome her shyness and insecurities and become confident and level-headed, acting as the voice of reason to Luz's eccentricity and Gus' over-confidence.[33] It is later revealed she and Amity were childhood friends, but the latter's parents blackmailed her into ditching Willow due to not wanting to associate with her because of her lack of magic. Willow eventually learns this in "Understanding Willow" and forgives Amity; the same episode shows that Willow has two fathers named Gilbert and Harvey Park.[40] In "Wing It Like Witches", Willow's newfound confidence earns her some respect at Hexside since she and Amity rekindled their friendship, though some students like Boscha still pick on her.[42] She shows considerable restraint, as while she wants to use the Green Thumb Gauntlet to expand her plant abilities, she immediately returns it, though she uses it to help Luz.[27]
In season two, Willow is nearly expelled, an event that shocks her fathers. While Harvey is shown to be very protective and studious, Gilbert secretly allows her to escape to help her friends.[8] In "Hunting Palismen", Willow gets her own staff and palisman in the form of a bee named Clover.[2] In "Any Sport in a Storm", she starts a Flying Derby team with Gus, Skara, Viney, and an incognito Hunter. Despite the latter's betrayal, he reforms and rescues his friends, causing Willow to become more appreciative of him.[43] At the end of "King's Tide", Willow flees to the human realm with Luz, Amity, Gus and Hunter.[16] She eventually returns to the Boiling Isles, where she finally faces Boscha and overcomes her self-doubt with help from Hunter, whom she is implied to have a crush on.[17] In the epilogue, Willow continues to play flying derby.
Augustus "Gus" Porter (voiced by Issac Ryan Brown[45]) is a student at Hexside and Luz, Amity, Willow and Hunter's friend. He is skilled in illusion magic and is part of the Illusion Track. He is obsessed with human culture and is amazed when he first meets Luz. However, he is oblivious to common human norms, such as high fiving and nicknames, and quickly takes to being called Gus after Luz tells him she knew someone with a similar name.[23] Since then, Gus has been a prominent friend to Luz. He is well-gifted in illusion casting, as he can freely move about campus while his illusion clone attends classes. He was moved up a couple of grades, explaining why he is noticeably younger than Luz and Willow despite being in their grade. He was the president of the Human Appreciation Society (H.A.S.), but in a misled effort to retain his title, he lies to Luz about having lifted her ban from the school, which gets them in more trouble. He ultimately comes clean, but loses his place as president of H.A.S.[5] Gus is self-assertive, but also seeks others' approval. Nevertheless, he is confident and seemingly not afraid to speak his mind.[46] When using the oracle sphere to show his "best self", his illusion clone informs him that he is "always [his] best self", news that moves him to tears.[27] His father Perry is a news reporter for BBN-HXN.[7]
In season two, Gus is shown to have slightly aged, which according to him is "witch puberty".[8] He also begins to hone his illusion abilities when he aids an illusion master known as the Keeper of the Looking Glass Ruins.[10] In "Hunting Palismen", Gus gets his own staff and palisman in the form of a blue chameleon named Emmiline Bailey Marcostimo.[2] Gus joins Willow's Flying Derby team and befriends Hunter, despite his attempt to betray them.[43] In "Labyrinth Runners", Gus is shown to have had trouble making friends, as everyone takes advantage of his intellect. Willow became his first genuine friend and taught him a breathing technique, which Gus later shares with Hunter. His illusionary abilities are also revealed to be rather powerful, but can become untamed if he is stressed or upset. He befriends Hunter, who becomes another genuine friend.[47] At the end of "King's Tide", Gus flees to the human realm with Luz, Amity, Willow and Hunter.[16] He eventually returns along with Luz and the rest of the gang to help defeat the Collector, and eventually, Belos.[17] In the epilogue, Gus becomes a teacher in the wild magic university.
Amity Blight (voiced by Mae Whitman) is a student at Hexside; she is an abomination expert and works part-time at the Bonesborough Library. She is Luz's girlfriend and Willow and Gus' friend. Initially, she appears to be an petty and cold-hearted top student, who bullies those she feels are inferior to her. When Luz arrives, she unintentionally causes her to lose her cool in front of her teacher and Principal Bump; she also loses her top student title when she nearly gets Luz killed.[23] In her next appearance, she begins to hold severe disdain towards Luz, blaming her for getting her in trouble and mocking her dream of becoming a witch. This leads Luz to challenge her to a witches' duel, which will determine whether Luz will continue witch training. However, when Amity is exposed of cheating on Lilith's part, she runs off and lashes out at Luz, accusing her for humiliating her in front of the Emperor's Coven and embarrassing her at school, while lamenting how much pressure she puts on herself to be the best. However, she is surprised when Luz shows kindness while trying to comfort her and allows her to continue magic training.[25] Despite still acting hostile towards Luz, Amity slowly begins to show a sentimental side and claims she is trying to understand Luz. Eventually, she starts to become fascinated with her desire to be genuine friends, and after a night of peril with her at the library, they make up and bond over their shared love of The Good Witch Azura. This leads Amity to realize that Luz never meant any harm and that she never took the time to get to know her. She also decides to reflect on her earlier antagonistic behavior after realizing her own attitude was not helping.[48] From that point on, Amity's personality changes from open hatred[35] to genuine friendliness, though displaying nervousness around Luz.[6] "Understanding Willow" reveals that Amity has been putting on an act under the controlling influence of her parents, namely her emotionally abusive mother, Odalia, who blackmailed her into ditching Willow. While she was seemingly excited to join the Emperor's Coven, Odalia had groomed her to join. Thanks to Luz's emotional support, she makes amends with Willow and restores their friendship, and also ends her forced association with Boscha.[40] She is later revealed to have a crush on Luz,[46] to the point that she gets nervous when around her.[42] Amity has since become her own person, welcomed by her genuine friends Luz, Willow, and Gus, and appears to be more in control of her emotions while around her.
In season two, Amity is put upon by Odalia and Alador when they expel her friends from Hexside for being a "bad influence" on her. But when they endager Luz when she tries to get her and her friends back into school, she stands up to Odalia and gets them back into Hexside.[8] She acknowledges that Luz's arrival changed her for the better, and redyes her hair lilac because Odalia forced her to have her hair dyed green to match with her siblings. She also confirms her feelings for Luz by kissing her on the cheek, though she is later embarrassed by this.[10] In "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door", she and Luz officially become a couple.[11] In "Eclipse Lake", Amity gains her own staff and palisman in the form of a cat named Ghost.[49] In "Reaching Out", Amity finally tells Alador that joining the Emperor's Coven was Odalia's dream and was never what she wanted, as she does not want to join a coven, and reveals that she is dating Luz.[14] In "Clouds on the Horizon", Amity disowns her mother after learning she is working with Belos in his plans for the Day of Unity.[15] At the end of "King's Tide", Amity flees to the human realm with Luz, Willow, Gus and Hunter.[16] She eventually returns and discovers that Boscha misses her, but cuts her out of her life.[17] In the epilogue, Amity becomes an abomination engineer.
Amity is the first major animated Disney character to be a confirmed lesbian.[50]
Hunter
Hunter (voiced by Zeno Robinson[51]) is a teen who was the current Golden Guard, taken in by Belos as his nephew and enforcer. He is the latest in a series of grimwalkers—clones that Belos created in the image of his brother, Caleb, whom he killed after he fell in love with a witch named Evelyn. While easygoing and practical despite being imposing and mischievous, Hunter is a prodigy in magic who became head of the Emperor's Coven after Lilith defected.[28] Hunter later visits Blight Industries to purchase Abomatons for Belos's army, as he states that Belos dislikes anyone establishing an unauthorized private army.[8] In "Hunting Palismen", Hunter develops an interest in wild magic and thinks it could cure Belos, despite Belos's insistence that wild magic caused their family's downfall. He ends up working with Luz after Kikimora tries to kill him when he is sent to gather palismen. While desperate to seek Belos's approval, he is ultimately won over by Luz into doing the right thing and lets Luz leave with the palismen. Afterwards, Hunter gets his own staff and palisman in the form of a cardinal called Flapjack.[2] While still devoted to Belos, he does show gratitude and compassion, implying that Flapjack has a good influence on him.[49] He attempts to force Willow and her Flying Derby team to join the Emperor's Coven to prove himself to Darius, but realizes what he is doing is wrong and rescues them, which earns him Darius's respect. Upon finding out, Darius tells Hunter that he is proud that he has made friends his age.[43] Afterwards, he starts to act as Luz's informant within the Emperor's Coven.[14]
In "Hollow Mind", Hunter is transported into Belos' mindscape along with Luz, resulting in him seeing his supposed uncle's true colors first-hand. Despite his initial denial and justification of Belos' true nature and actions, Hunter's devotion to Belos is shattered after he learns of his true origin and goals.[52] Soon after, he flees for his life in fear that Belos would kill him like his predecessors for defying him; he takes refuge in Hexside, where he forms an friendship with Gus while telling the truth behind the Day of Unity to the students and facility.[47] At the end of "King's Tide", Hunter is stranded in the Human Realm with Luz, Amity, Willow and Gus.[16] He finds himself comfortable in the Human Realm, discovering new interests and an improved sense of self. However, he ends up possessed by Belos' remains, attacking the others and nearly dying before Flapjack saves him by sacrificing himself.[53] Upon returning to the Boiling Isles, he becomes defensive and struggles with his grief over his palisman, but manages to help Willow, whom he is implied to have a mutual crush on, with her insecurities. Additionally, he discovers that he possesses some of Flapjack's magic, giving him the ability to teleport.[17] In the epilogue, Hunter is seen working as a palisman carver.
Lilith Clawthorne (voiced by Cissy Jones as an adult,[54] Abigail Zoe Lewis as a teen, Dee Bradley Baker in owl beast form) is Eda's estranged older sister and, until the end of season one, leader of the Emperor's Coven. Lilith and Eda have a strained relationship, with Lilith insisting on coming with her to see Emperor Belos.[25] It is implied that she had good intentions 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.[26] Despite their tense relationship, she and Eda do express a longing for some kind of reconciliation.[42] "Agony of a Witch" reveals that she cursed Eda when they were younger, as she was envious of her magical talent and power. This led to Lilith's deal with Emperor Belos after she felt guilty for what she did to her sister.[27] 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 them getting matching split colored eyes.[7]
In season two, Lilith begins living in the Owl House and tries to make amends with Eda. She creates a spell that will allow them to spy into the Emperor's Coven and in the process befriends Hooty, whom she affectionately begins calling "Hootcifer". When she makes a special window to spy on Emperor Belos, she is unaware that Belos knows of it.[28] "Keeping up A-fear-ances" reveals she was ignored by her mother, Gwendolyn, for most of her life; upon her realizing this, they make amends. Lilith decides to leave the Owl House and move back in with her parents.[9] Later, it is shown that she got a job as the assistant curator at the Supernatural Museum of History. She also tries to take on a more confident attitude to be like Eda and impress Luz, with whom she now shares an aunt-niece relationship.[55] She later returns to the Owl House upon learning of the Day of Unity's true results and works with her sister and friends to prevent it. In "O Titan, Where Art Thou", Lilith is shown to be devoted to perceived authority figures, to the point that she disregards other people's feelings. Upon seeing how organized everyone else is within the Emperor's Coven, particularly those who are against it, she begins to realize that she may not have been good at her job.[38] Following the Collector's takeover, she tries to concoct a spell that will free everyone from his spells.[17] In the epilogue, Lilith becomes a teacher and archaeologist at the wild magic school, and is revealed to have unlocked her own harpy form. She is confirmed to be aromantic and asexual.[56]
Hieronymus Bump
Hieronymus Bump (voiced by Bumper Robinson[57]) 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 imposing and sinister, but is actually pressured by his job as the school principal and the work it requires. He is also seen to be quite reasonable when it comes to changing his mind, and is open-minded despite his stubbornness and morally questionable actions, like when he tries to dissect Luz for trespassing while masquerading as an abomination.[23] In light of Luz being at the school posing as an Abomination, Principal Bump enlists trouble-smelling creatures to act as the school's security staff and throws students into the detention room, where the worms inside trap them in correctional crystals and brainwash them into behaving better. He has a terse relationship with Eda, whom he kept a record of during her time at Hexside. Bump allows Luz to attend Hexside because he ropes Eda into cleaning up the mess she made while she attended. He also agrees with her to keep the deal secret from the Emperor's Coven.[5] "Adventures in the Elements" reveals that he was the young student responsible for defeating the opposing school and helping to build Hexside, as shown in its information pamphlet.[35] In "The First Day", he is shown to place the students in a classroom after discontinuing the Choosy Hat, as it keeps eating the students. Any students that he catches trying to learn something other than their assigned magic are reassigned to the Detention Track. However, by the end of the episode, he becomes more accepting of the students' desire to learn more than one magic type after Luz and the Detention Track Students save the school from a Greater Basilisk using their mixed magic skills. As a result, he allows students the choice to learn more than one magic type.[6] When Emperor Belos announces his intent to petrify Eda, Bump is among the people who disapprove of this, claiming she helped him regain his love of teaching after she left Hexside.[7]
In season two, it is shown that Bump openly enjoys Luz's presence at the school but is forced by the Blights to expel her, Gus, and Willow, despite not wanting to. When they attempt to get back into school, he is upset at having to prevent them from entering, and that he thinks life was dull without them.[8] "Hunting Palismen" reveals that the devil "hat" on his head is actually his palisman Frewin, which allows him to see due to an unspecified incident in his youth. When Frewin is not on his head, Bump is shown to have long black hair, a scar on his right eye, and a closed left eye.[2] In "Them's The Breaks Kid", it is shown that Bump used to be Hexside's vice-principal, where he worked under Faust, but their ideals clash with that of their students.[58] When Adrian Graye and the Emperor's Coven raid Hexside to force the students into joining the Emperor's Coven, Bump is among the teachers and students that take refuge in the Healing Track's homeroom. After the students defeat Graye and the Emperor's Coven, Bump gets them to leave by stating that he would tell Emperor Belos that they were defeated by children.[47] He is captured by the Collector after the events of "King's Tide" and the remaining Hexside students create a statue in his honor, though he is later revived. In the epilogue, Bump has retired from being the principal of Hexside, and is last seen watering his plants.
Camila Noceda
Camila Noceda[59] (voiced by Elizabeth Grullon[60]) is Luz's widowed mother, who sends her to summer camp to curb her overactive imagination, but is unaware of her being on the Boiling Isles as she remained in contact via text messages for the first season.[3] She also received letters from Vee, who posed as Luz during summer camp and lives with her soon after.[46][9] Camila eventually discovers the truth and decides to look after Vee, but is heavily despondent over Luz staying on the Boiling Isles and blames herself for pushing Luz out of her life.[12] "Reaching Out" reveals that she and Luz would collect flowers in remembrance of her husband. She is later seen looking out at the night sky as one star shines brightly.[14] In "King's Tide", she reunites with Luz and meets her friends when she returns home, having escaped into the Human Realm after the Collector is released.[16] In "Thanks to Them," after seeing Belos and accepting her daughter's new life, she resolves to join her and her friends in the Demon Realm.[53] It is later revealed that she was similar to Luz when she was younger, and sent Luz to camp in a misguided attempt to protect her from what she went through. She is Dominican-American, with Sarah-Nicole Robles saying that she and Luz are a "refreshing representation of a real Hispanic family".[18]
Antagonists
Emperor Belos
Emperor Belos (voiced by Matthew Rhys[61]) is a mysterious and sinister masked man who is the ruler of the Boiling Isles and the most powerful magic user alive, whom the Emperor's Coven serve. He is later revealed to be Philip Wittebane (voiced by Alex Lawther[62]), a human witch hunter who came to the Boiling Isles centuries ago to find his older brother Caleb, whom he assumed was abducted by witches. This mindset caused him to murder Caleb upon learning he fell in love with a witch named Evelyn, before forming a pact with the Collector.[53] Philip took on the identity of Belos to take over the Boiling Isles while using propaganda to ban "wild magic" and establish a system for witches to use their magic "the right way". This led to him establishing different Covens and sentence those who do not join to irreversible petrification. Belos initially used technology as a means to utilize magic while prolonging his life by feeding on palismen, granting him power while using mental effort to retain his human appearance.[49] He also concealed his ailment by claiming it to be a curse produced from wild magic. His goal is to invoke the Day of Unity, a convergence of the Human and Demon Realms that would purge wild magic through the current Coven heads he selected. However, its true purpose is to drain magic from the Boiling Isles, killing witches and demons in the process, under the delusion that he would be praised by humanity as a hero.[7][2][52]
Belos convinced Lilith to join the Emperor's Coven by offering to cure Eda, only to go back on his word while forcing Luz to give him the portal.[7] Although Luz rigs the portal to be destroyed, Belos repairs it and eventually acquires a vial of Titan's Blood to power the portal.[7][28][49] Belos also later purchases an army of Abomatons from the Blights to increase his forces for the Day of Unity, with Hunter noting that Belos dislikes anyone establishing an unauthorized private army.[8] In "Yesterday's Lie", it is revealed in Vee's flashbacks that prior to the series premiere, Belos had the Basilisk race resurrected to study their ability to drain magic and personally oversaw the search for those that escaped.[12] In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", Belos reveals his face to the denizens of Bonesborough while having Terra relay a message to Luz that they would meet again soon and he was looking forward to it.[13] In "Elsewhere and Elsewhen", unaware of Belos's previous identity, Luz and Lilith travel back in time to meet Philip. Upon discovering he had tricked them to contact the Collector, Lilith punches him in the face in retaliation for nearly getting her and Luz killed by the Stonesleeper.[55] In "Hollow Mind", Belos appears in a child-like form before Luz and Hunter when they unintentionally enter his mind, using them to subdue the souls of the palismen he consumed before revealing that Hunter is a Grimwalker he plans to dispose for "betrayal". He also reveals his true identity as Philip to Luz, revealing that he orchestrated events to maintain the bootstrap paradox Luz's time travel caused, allowing him to acquire knowledge of the Day of Unity from the Collector.[52]
Belos' plans come to fruition as he reveals he never intended to free the Collector before Luz stops him from returning to the human world by branding him with a sigil in an attempt to force him to cancel the draining spell. He is affected by the Day of Unity, as it causes him to lose control of his body and mutate into a monstrous creature that nearly kills her and her friends. His body is obliterated when King frees the Collector, who cancels the draining spell. However, a fragment of Belos lands on Hunter as Luz's group flees the Boiling Isles and ends up in a dilapidated house within the Human Realm, forced to feed on animals and then Hunter like a parasite to reconstruct his failing body before escaping back to the Demon Realm in season three.[16][53] Unable to find a stable Grimwalker body to inhabit, Belos possesses Raine's puppet body in an attempt to possess the Collector, but fails and instead tricks the Collector into dealing with Luz's group upon learning that he can possess the Titan.[17] Belos merges with the Titan's heart and gradually infects the Boiling Isles before a Titan-powered Luz defeats him and separates him from the heart. Belos begins to melt due to the boiling rain and unsuccessfully attempts to deceive Luz into helping him again before his remains are stomped to death by Eda, King, and Raine.
The Collector
The Collector (voiced by Fryda Wolff) is a childlike being of immense power who is the last of a race of long-lived, powerful beings from beyond the stars who preserve worlds and exterminate troublesome specimens. The Collector disagrees with his kind's methods and desires to befriend other beings, despite his lack of understanding of the impact of death on mortals. The Collector was sent to the Demon World by the Archivists, his older siblings, who learned that the Titans he befriended were immune to their magic. This resulted in the Collector being sealed away with a sphere by King's father after his siblings destroyed most of the latter's kin, placed in the In-Between World that separates the Human and Demon Realms. During the centuries he was trapped, a Titan-hunting cult worshipped him as the "Grand Huntsman", believing him to have been a slayer of Titans.[11][37] He was discovered and manipulated by Belos, teaching him the spell for the Day of Unity on the condition that he be released and allowed to play again.[52] However, when Belos goes back on his word, the Collector has King release him by agreeing to cancel the Day of Unity. Once freed, the Collector obliterates Belos with the intent of playing "Owl House" with everyone on the Boiling Isles while keeping King by his side because they "pinky swore", deconstructing the head of the Titan and creating the Archive House, a crown-like castle above it.[16]
The Collector takes King as his personal playmate while turning most of the Boiling Isles' residents into puppets. King tries to reason with the Collector upon realizing he is essentially a lonely, misguided child, but Belos, barely alive and possessing Raine's puppet body, convinces the Collector that King is conspiring with Luz and her friends against him.[17] After placing Luz, Eda and King in several dream scenarios and games, the Collector is disheartened with their resistance and reveals his full story to the trio. Showing sympathy for him, they take him on a tour of the Boiling Isles to the sites of past adventures so they can help him understand true friendship. When Belos possesses the Titan's heart and infects the Boiling Isles, Luz sacrifices her life to save the Collector, who becomes remorseful while realizing the fragility and value of life. After Luz is restored to life by a repentant Titan, the Collector helps keep her friends and the Archive House safe, and is shown gratitude by Amity once Belos is defeated and destroyed. After restoring everyone under his spell, the Collector decides to return to the stars to do some "growing up", but is encouraged by King to revisit the Isles in the future. He also creates a permanent portal between the Human and Demon Realms for Luz, and returns to put on a light show for her "King-ceañera" party.
Kikimora
Kikimora (voiced by Mela Lee) is Belos' minion and essentially his secretary, often fighting people or giving out orders. Her hair resembles a hand clinging onto her head, and she wears a jacket that covers her mouth; a glimpse of her mouth is shown in "Clouds on the Horizon", showing she has two teeth. She rarely appears in season one, often contacting members of the Emperor's Coven.
In season two, Kikimora shows more of her ruthless side as she uses her dragon in an attempt to murder Hunter and take credit for his mission of retrieving palismen. She fails when Hunter works with Luz to free the palismen and escape without her discovering their identities, but notes that Hunter has an injury matching the one she inflicted on her attacker.[2] Since then, she has considered Hunter to be her workplace arch-rival and seems determined to seek revenge on him than help.[49] Concerned for her job and well-being, she briefly teams up with Luz and her friends so she can escape. However, upon hearing that she might acquire a long-coveted promotion, she turns on them. Plant Coven head Terra Snapdragon reveals that she was testing her loyalty and that the promotion was real, but Kikimora is disappointed to learn that the "promotion" was Belos allowing her to live.[13] She later dispatches the Emperor's Coven to raid the Owl House after he declares its residents wanted criminals.[37] She is revealed to have been demoted to delivery girl for Belos at some point, kidnapping who she assumed was "Hunter", but was actually Luz posing as him through Gus's spell, in hopes of being promoted to a better position.[15] However, after being denied her promotion and learning the truth behind the Day of Unity, Kikimora helps King reach the Collector to get back at Belos.[16] Following the Collector's takeover, Kikimora influences Boscha to rule the survivors with an iron fist in disguise under the alias "Miki," mainly so that she can get back at Luz and her friends when they return. Luz and her friends manage to convince Boscha and the rest of the school to turn on her, resulting in her defeat once again.[17] In the epilogue, Kikimora is seen helping to rebuild the Boiling Isles, possibly as penance for her misdeeds.

Odalia Blight (voiced by Rachael MacFarlane[63]) is Amity's emotionally abusive and conservative mother, who holds high standards for her, Emira, and Edric. She conditioned Amity into being a candidate for the Emperor's Coven while being willing to remove those she considers a bad influence from her daughter's life.[40] She also runs Blight Industries, which produces abomination-based defense systems. She uses her position as head of Hexside's parent–creature association to have Luz, Willow and Gus expelled from Hexside, only to allow them back in after Amity threatens to destroy her factory.[8] Odalia is later revealed to be aware of the truth behind the Day of Unity, though she does not care what happens as long as she is rewarded with a life of royalty in the Human Realm. When Alador destroys her factory, Odalia flees.[15] She is later seen as one of the survivors of the Collector's takeover, being forced to serve him.[17]

Coven Heads
The following are the heads of the different Covens:
Raine Whispers (voiced by Avi Roque as an adult and Blu del Barrio as a teenager) is the Head of the Bard Coven who is also Eda's childhood friend and romantic interest, before Eda pushed them away due to her curse.[11] Raine leads a small team of rebels called the Bards Against the Throne, aka the BATS. They also suffer from stage fright, despite being musically gifted. Raine is later captured due to being needed for the Day of Unity.[30] Raine is next seen apparently under the influence of a concoction brewed by Terra Snapdragon that makes them obedient to Belos and unable to recall their reunion with Eda, despite sympathizing with her.[13] This is later revealed to be a ruse since Raine has the ability to alter drinks via whistling into them, working in secret with Darius to stop Belos while deciding not to involve Eda in their plan to keep her safe.[58] After the Owl House residents join them, Raine renames their group the Covens Against the Throne (CATS for short). which Darius did not agree on the name for.[38] Raine has an illusion-disguised Eda take their place during their part of the Day of Unity with the Coven Heads. An Abomaton found them with Lilith and Hooty while Terra discovered that that Raine with them is not the real Raine; Raine was then positioned in their planned spot. Raine is then nearly killed by the draining spell until the Collector deactivated it.[16] After being turned into a puppet by the Collector, Raine is eventually possessed by Belos in the latter's attempt to possess the Collector.[17]Raine breaks the Collector's spell over them and purges Belos out of their body, but Belos possesses the Titan's heart despite their attempts to stop him.

Their plot is discovered by Terra Snapdragon, and the three of them are subdued by the other Coven Heads, with the real Raine having been brought in upon Lilith and Hooty's capture.
