[[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]] is suggested by her mentor, Eda, to try to summon a mysterious power known as Persona. Attempting to invoke it transports her, King and Amity to the Human Realm... But not the one Luz was hoping for. Now stuck in an alternate version of Tokyo, Luz will have to find some way to get back home while also becoming a Phantom Thief, alongside Amity and King. Honestly, why did magic have to be so complicated?

** There are apparently hidden glyph arrays built into the Emperor's palace, Lilith suspecting that they're for boosting the Persona summoning ritual.

** Luz and Amity are this to each other, with both partners getting clearly enamoured whenever the other does something particularly epic.

** Ryuji is as protective of Luz as Luz is of King. He is almost immediately agitated whenever someone treats her badly and is more than happy to put his own neck on the line for her sake, as seen by how he is initially hostile to Ann when she encourages Luz to let bygones be bygones in regards to Kamoshida.

* DarkIsNotEvil: The majority of the Phantom Thieves subscribe to this trope with their general attire, as well as their [[HeelFaceBrainwashing methods]]. Of all the members, Amity is the most notable example as not only does she retain all of her skill in Abomination Magic, which involves summoning up dark sludge to morph into whatever she so desires, but her Persona, Morgan Le Fe utilizes the Ei- line of Curse Skills. Additionally Amity wears some of the darkest clothing of any of the Thieves in the form of a modified version of the outfit she wore to the [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E14ReachingOut Bonesborough Brawl]], consisting of a dark purple BattleBallgown and matching sunhat, with a black [[WaistcoatOfStyle vest]] and matching tights.

** Amity and King fit in even less than Luz does. As they are natives of the Demon Realm they have very little if any knowledge of the Human Realm and its many traits. For instance, King mistakes Tokyo for New York and Amity is almost stunned silent and deeply uncomfortable at the prospect of attending a Sento with Ann.

** Luz herself is guilty of this as well. When she is whisked off to the Velvet Room for the first time, Luz accidentally lets slip that she actually has prior knowledge of Personas from other sources, due to Eda, and [[spoiler:[[GreaterScopeParagon Philemon]]]] teaching her about them before she ever made contact with the Velvet Room. To say that this is a massive shock to the Velvet Room inhabitants is an understatement, as Caroline and Justine both perform a JawDrop and even Igor is [[DidntSeeThatComing visibly surprised]]. Luz nervously lampshades that she probably shouldn't know about what her new powers are yet based upon their reaction.

** While explaining what she knows of Personas, Lilith states that she once [[spoiler:caught an ever so fleeting glimpse of Emperor Belos conversing with a shadowy jester that she assumed was a Persona. Anyone familiar with The Owl House's later episodes will recognize that figure as actually being [[Characters/TheOwlHouseTheCollector The Collector]], though it's downplayed as he has yet to make a full appearance in the story as of yet.]]

** In a way, Philemon himself. In Persona 5, nothing about the Velvet Room is done by him personally, solely Igor and his attendants. In Enchanting Heist, it's implied that Luz, Amity and King were ''personally'' selected as his representatives.

** Not a character example, but King's status [[spoiler:as the last of the Titans appears significantly earlier than in canon, as it is a drop of his blood that accidentally warps himself, Luz, and Amity into the ''Persona'' universe.]]

* YourMagicIsNoGoodHere: Played with in regard to Glyphs. Luz herself voices how Glyphs cannot be used within the Human Realm due to the lack of ambient Magic to draw upon [[spoiler:even if she doesn't yet know that Glyphs ''can'' be used in the Human Realm as long as one has an active source of Titan's Blood]]. It's this fact that actually causes Luz to initially assume that Kamoshida's Palace is simply an extension of the Demon Realm, since she's able to use Glyphs to their full potential in the Metaverse.
