** Instead of the Good Witch Azura, Luz was a fan of a book called "The Unassuming Princess". A proposed episode would've revealed the book's author was one of Eda's ex-boyfriends from the Demon Realm who had based the story off of some of Eda's old adventures.

** Eda was originally going to have been a late bloomer with her magic, having not become properly able to use it until adulthood, which resulted in her being an outcast growing up and relating to Luz. This idea seems to have been re-worked and given to Willow instead.



** Gus was seemingly just a background character with a lot of his traits, namely his obsession with Humans originally belong to Tibbles, who was originally supposed to be an ally of Luz.

** Similarly, the original Emperor character was going to be Emperor Pupa, an insectoid creature trapped in his cocoon and only capable of shrieking, which is "interpreted" by his council (in actuality lying and claiming their will is the Emperor's, much like Belos does with the Titan in the finished product). Belos was originally Councilor Obron, the leader of the council and the one responsible for keeping Emperor Pupa trapped in his cocoon. Like in the finished product, he is actually a human who is hundreds of years old and created the Coven system as a means of controlling witches and their magic. Unlike Belos, however, Obron actually plans to take over the Human Realm by possessing the Titan's corpse itself... after sacrificing a human soul.

** The original concept of Hunter was much different, he was originally a character named William, a boy from 16th Century England who was put in an enchanted slumber from which Luz wakes him up from. His character arc would have been Luz helping him regain his memories (including his familial relationship with Belos/Obron) as well as adjust to life in the Demon Realm, [[BurnTheWitch despite his repeated attempts to burn Luz at the stake for being a witch]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and being a girl]] who [[DeliberateValuesDissonance wears pants.]]

** There was supposed to be a trio of humans named Sashley, Pasha, and Bruno who had become trapped in the Demon Realm and got mutated from their "toxic island diet" (one had a fish for a head, another had a tentacle replacing their arm, the third had pincers in place of their hands). They would've try to get Luz to join them, but she'd reject them after seeing them mistreat weaker demons, causing them to turn on her.
