* AdaptationalIntelligence: Downplayed. While Luz was far from unintelligent in canon, she could be somewhat naïve, headstrong, and willing to jump into situations without thinking. While she retains shades of such characterization in this story, Luz repeatedly surprises a number of characters for being wiser than they expect, and is much more willing to acknowledge her own limitations and think things through as opposed to just blindly rushing into situations. One prominent example is when she chooses to simply sign up for two magic courses in Hexside as opposed to all of them like she did in canon, acknowledging that while she would like to study as much magic as possible, it would be better to limit her focus to avoid overtaxing herself with schoolwork. The arrival of Ingrimaxus only highlights the difference; while in canon, Luz would almost certainly throw herself into the fray with the eager intent of fighting a dragon, in this story, she acknowledges that she would be out of her depth by blindly taking on Ingrimaxus without a plan and initially intends to simply focus on protecting and rescuing civilians, before being stopped from doing so by Eda locking down the house. She only fights Ingrimaxus directly because Lilith specifically asked for her help in doing so, following her plan to the letter once it's explained.
