Dana Terrace Owl HouseThe recently wrapped debut season on the Disney Channel introduced viewers to Luz Noceda—a 14-year-old girl with a strong passion for fantasy, especially around a character named Azura. Fictional episode of The Witch. Luz (Sarah-Nicole Robles) accidentally finds herself transported to another dimension called the Boiling Islands, where she is confronted by the dimension’s most powerful witch, Ida Crawthorne (Wendy) Malik).
Also introducing Amity Blight (Mae Whitman, “Avatar: The Last Airbender” fame), ambitious perfectionist Luz met him at Huxside College, where he trained under Ada’s sister, Lilith. Amity is initially hostile to Luz and her friends, but under Luz’s influence, Amity slowly begins to shed her mean-girl appearance and grows into a warmer person.
Luz: she’s very creative
Luz’s creativity is constantly highlighted throughout the series. She is obsessed with the Azura collection and loves to express herself creatively. In one episode, she enters King’s writing competition and is able to write a novel.
The way she uses magic is also a great example of Luz’s creativity. Magic didn’t come naturally to her like Ada, Amity, or the others. Instead, Luz learned to harness magic through the use of runes, which she used to conjure magic.
Friendly: she is ambitious
When audiences first meet Amity, she’s a top student at Huxside, and she’s very proud of it. She clearly considers herself above the rest of the class and is desperate to stay on top – even going to great lengths to try to reveal that Willow’s abomination is actually Luz.
Additionally, Amity’s goal is to eventually join the Emperor’s Council. She adores Lilith so much (she has a poster of Lilith in her bedroom), and is deeply disappointed and ashamed when Lilith uses her to cheat.
Luz: she’s romantic
Luz romanticizes magic multiple times on the show, having grown up on fantasy novels full of quests and choices, and at the beginning of the series Luz wishes her life in the Boiling Isles was more like one of her books life.
However, Luz has also been shown to enjoy the romance. Much to King’s dismay, the original outline of her novel was rather romantic. One element of this is a loyal knight who falls in love with Luz, and her fairytale dance with Amity in Grom, as she is lured into a trap on an illusory mission. This side of Lutz is refreshing because it’s not something to be teased about — a rarity in cartoons.
Friendly: Caring
Although not immediately obvious, Amity is a very caring person. Luz initially thought Amity was just a mean girl until she found Amity reading to children in the library, an activity Amity seemed to really enjoy as she was very active in the environment.
Over time, Amity’s warmer attitude manifests itself in many other ways: she quits the school sports team after accidentally hurting a teammate; she urges Willow and Gus when she realizes Luz is in trouble Help Luz win a game.
Luz: she’s brave
Due to the nature of the Boiling Islands and Luz’s helpful nature, she is inevitably thrown into a dangerous orgy in each episode. One of the cores of Lutz’s character is her love of helping others, usually by diving headlong into danger and trying to put things right.
A great example of her bravery comes in the season finale when she confronts series villain Emperor Bellos while trying to save Ada from petrification by mistake. Bellos gives Lutz an ultimatum: She can save Ada if she gives him the door to the human world. Luz managed to trick him and destroy the portal – the only way to get back to her mother.
Friendly: She’s a nerd
She might not be as nerdy as Luz, who proudly writes fan fiction and cosplays as Azura in one episode, but Amity is just as big a fan of the Azura series as Luz.
Some of Amity’s actions are modeled after Azula’s, and she even drew her own fan art using one of the closely guarded characters in her diary. She also agreed to start a private book club with Luz to discuss the series.
Luz: She’s optimistic
By far Luz’s most notable quality is her optimism. She is passionate and will move forward in anything she encounters: whether it’s magical training, writing a book with Jin, or offering to face Grom in Amity’s place.
Despite the trials Luz faces, her upbeat personality never wavers. She expects the good guys to win because that’s what she knows best from fantasy. She is the first to offer moral support and advancement to her friends, and is able to see the best in everyone.
Friendliness: She strives to make things right
Amity is initially hostile towards Willow, belittling and mocking her. She continues to do this for a while, but it becomes more and more half-hearted until it is eventually revealed that Amity and Willow were childhood friends because Amity accidentally destroyed some of Willow’s memories.
Amity finally opens up to Willow and explains that she kicked Willow away because her parents forced her to so that Willow would have a chance at Huxside. After the girls reconciled, Amity cut ties with the mean kids at school and defended Willow when she tried to mock her.
luz: she’s warm
So far, throughout the Owl House Among the cast, Luz is the warmest character in the show. She is energetic, friendly, and lovely. Her favorite thing is helping others, and she easily makes friends on Boiling Island.
Luz’s personality endears her to most of her friends: although they find Luz often difficult to understand, they appreciate her positive energy and always support her when she needs it.
Friendly: She is protective
For those whom Amity cares about, she will spare no effort to protect them. When her parents threaten to interfere with Willow’s education, Amity does everything in her power to protect Willow, even if it means destroying their friendship.
When Luz flees from Grom, Amity follows in an attempt to save Luz. In the previous episode, Amity also risked fighting the giant beast alone to save her siblings.
