    open/close all folders 
     A-D 
  • Atrocious Alias: By the time Act 2 starts, she's nicknamed the "Abominable Blight" thanks to her fight with Skara.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Skara slices one of her arms off during their fight. Luckily, her Healing Factor kicks in soon after.
  • Ability Mixing: Unlike the other students in "Poglypherization", instead of mixing two glyphs together, she mixes a Fire glyph with her own lightning powers to replicate Boscha's Firebolt.
  • Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Not only does she have the same issues as in canon, but she also has to deal with the fact that her rage-induced rant at a younger Boscha not only broke her, but set off a chain of events that would lead her to turn into the monster she is today.
    • Chapter 22 makes this even worse: Not only does she discover the horrible actions her parents took against the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, but she finds out Skara's her half-sister, giving an entirely new layer of awful to her mistreatment of her, as well as giving Persephone a legitimate reason to hate her.
  • Adaptational Badass: Her transformation into a Pseudo-Abomination gives her far more abilities than her canon counterpart, including Mook Maker, Thought-Controlled Power, and so on.
  • Adaptational Dumbass: Because both her anger and pride are much more prominent here, Amity tends to take leaps in logic, like her insisting on going to the Boiling Underworld to rescue her family over what might be a Hostage Situation (it's not) or threatening Boscha's mother, who is currently capable of controlling her.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: She's a lot more temperamental than in canon, and is much more willing to take out her frustrations on those around her, especially Skara.
  • Accidental Public Confession: She gets so riled up during her fight with Skara in Chapter 14 that, when Skara brings up what happened at Amity's birthday party, Amity not only confesses she did it, but outright claims she did nothing wrong, painting it as her putting Boscha in her place. Needless to say, a lot of people hear this, and Amity becomes a Broken Pedestal for a lot of people come Act 2.
  • Adaptation Personality Change: While her personality is mostly kept intact, her anger issues are a lot more prominent, and she's also a bit more bratty.
  • Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Downplayed with her relationship with Boscha and Skara: in the original series, while she claimed Boscha and Skara were mean, she was fairly neutral to the latter and heavily disliked the former. In this story, she hates them both, which she doesn't make a secret.
    • In canon, Amity isn't particular close to either of her parents, mostly going along with their work schemes because of her talent with Abomination magic. In here, her hatred is solely focused on Odalia, with her holding a more neutral, and later affectionate, relationship with Alador.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: In canon, while Amity was a talented Abomination track student, she didn't do anything that other students couldn't do. This Amity gets quite the bonus perks after becoming a Pseudo-Abomination, becoming a Mook Maker who can control her Abominations with just her mind, and more.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Given that the third eye symbol represents Mind Magic being at play, how much of her hatred of Boscha is her legitimate belief and how much of it is the work of Mind Magic is unclear.
  • Anger Is Not Enough: Amity has an awful time keeping her temper in check, and every time she lets it loose, it makes things worse for her.
  • And I Must Scream: As it turns out, the pudding that turned her into a Pseudo-Abomination was made from Amirani, which had the nasty side effect of letting the psychopath control Amity however and whenever she likes, which she wastes no time demonstrating.
  • An Ice Person: Presumably getting the idea from Luz, Amity keeps an Ice Glyph on her person when Skara begins beating her up.
  • Aesop Collateral Damage: Amity eventually comes to learn how badly she mistreated Skara... after beating the ever loving crap out of her so harshly, Skara leaves the Boiling Isles just to get away from her.
  • A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Amity's chances to befriend both Boscha and Skara go completely down the drain thanks to the fact Amity simply couldn't wait five seconds to look beyond their surface traits.
  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: She drops to her knees and begs for mercy when Amirani walks up to her, asking her if she's the one who beat up Boscha.
  • The Apprentice: Has become Lilith's student once more to train her Pseudo-Abomination powers, and she's not too thrilled about it at first.
  • Artificial Hybrid: Amity was a full witch until she devoured an Abomination pudding during the dinner with the Urodelas, turning her into a Pseudo-Abomination.
  • The Atoner: Has become this by the end of Act 1, having come to realize not only how her actions alienated two potential friends, but that if she keeps acting like this, nobody will want anything to do with her anymore.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: She might've won the Super Power Lottery by becoming a Pseudo-Abomination but it came with an incredible cost: this being that she's essentially a Meat Puppet for Amirani to play around with.
  • Awful Truth: That Boscha and Skara, for all of their flaws, really did want to be friends with her, only for Amity's ensuing actions to alienate both of them.
    • Also, Boscha being essentially the reason she and Luz became girlfriends, as it was the letter she sent that convinced Luz to ask her out.
    • Chapter 20 one-ups that with the reveal that since the Abomination pudding she ate was made from Amirani, that she's practically under her control.
    • And then Chapter 22 one ups that by giving her a string of these: Not only is she under Amirani's control, not only did her mother force her father to rape the queen of the underworld, and not only did this lead to them becoming the last Blights on the Isles, since Prometheus wiped the other Blights as retaliation for Odalia's crime, but Skara, the same girl she's been mean towards and who she even drove away from the Isles, is her half-sister.
  • A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Amity has a serious bad habit of executing Misplaced Retribution; if she's wronged, she tends to target the nearest person around except for the one who actually slighted. She gets to experience what this feels like when Amirani and Prometheus decide to take out their anger on her for what her parents did to Persephone so long ago.
  • Badass in Distress: She's held hostage by the revived mandragora and can only stall for time until somebody saves her. Played even more straight during Chapter 20, since not only does Amirani reveal she can control her, as the pudding she ate was made from her, but she then kidnaps her right in front of everybody at the Blight Mansion, who can only stand and watch in horror as Amity gets taken away.
  • The Bait: Boscha specifically chooses her to be the one to revive the mandragora, as her life being in danger would give Willow more reason to act.
  • Backhanded Apology: While her apology to Skara is genuine, the awkward way she does it, as well as the fact she had to be prodded to do it by Luz and Willow, makes Skara reject it on the spot. This happens again in Chapter 14, though mostly because Skara at this point is too tired to even listen to Amity.
  • Battle in the Center of the Mind: Downplayed. She enters her own mind and comes into conflict with her inner self over trying to get rid of the Mind Magic plaguing her, but Amity doesn't actively engage Inner Amity, instead focusing on trying to find the source of the Mind Magic and destroy it.
    • While we don't see much of it, she gets into a proper one with Amirani during the climax of The Cupid Bee Car.
  • Big Damn Heroes: She and Skara arrive just in time for Amity to Shoot the Rope and save Boscha from being both burned and hanged at the public execution.
  • Big "SHUT UP!": After Skara ends up pushing her buttons a little too much, Amity grabs her lunch tray and throws it while yelling this. The tray misses Skara and hits Principal Bump instead.
  • Blinded by Rage: She's so pissed off at Skara in Chapter 14 that not only does she fail to notice the Glamour Failure that lets everybody see her true form, but that's she Saying Too Much regarding the whole drama with Skara and Boscha.
  • Blowing a Raspberry: In Chapter 25's flashback, she does this when Skara greets her, further solidying how it was Hate at First Sight for Amity.
  • Breath-Holding Brat: As shown in Chapter 25's flashback, when Amity first met Skara, one of the things she did was hold her breath to try get out of it. She doesn't keep it for long before Skara blows it, however.
  • Break the Haughty: Amity's pride has been left relatively unchanged from canon, so the latter half of Act 1 works hard to humble her hard: Not only does she discover Boscha, the one person she hates the most, is the reason she and Luz are even together, but when she tries to save her family when she thinks the Urodelas kidnapped her, she ends up not only doing not much, but eating a food that turns her into a Pseudo-Abomination. She gets a glamour for this, but then she has to see Skara transformed into a griffin hybrid because of Viney's emotional manipulation, and though she tries to be sympathetic, her attempt to bond with her after it wears off goes sideways, with her anger leading her to not only beat the crap out of Skara, including lodging an icicle through her eye, but she then delivers a Breaking Speech that tears down everything Skara thought she knew, with her barely able to get a word in before she collapses. And the kicker? When Amity, now realizing what she did wrong, tries to apologize to Skara before she leaves the Isles, she's not only rejected again, but Skara makes it clear Amity has nobody to blame but herself for being the breaking point that convinced Skara to leave the Isles.
    • Chapter 22 further breaks her down, not only making it painfully clear she's under Amirani's control, but having a string of harsh facts spat at her face, culminating in discovering Skara's her half-sister.
  • Breaking Speech: Delivers one to Skara near the end of their fight, pulling no punches in that her decision to stick by Boscha's side even as she turned into a psychopath has alienated everybody from her, how nobody will see her as anything but an extension to Boscha, and how she wanted nothing to do with either of them from the very beginning.
  • Bridal Carry: How she carries Skara while taking her to the hospital in Chapter 14.
  • Brought Down to Badass: With some help from Skara and a syringe, Amity's turned back to a full witch and, most importantly, is broken free from Amirani's control, with nothing more than Purple fingers as residue of the event. This doesn't make her any less skilled of a witch.
  • Brought Down to Normal: In order to get rid of Amirani for good, she has Luz shoot her sac of bile, not only destroying the Urodela for good, but erasing her ability to cast magic.
  • Broken Pedestal: The admiration and adulation that her classmates used to shower her with is replaced with pure, undiluted fear after her and Skara's fight proved just how savage she could truly be.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For:
    • As revealed in Chapter 8, she told Boscha, in a fit of anger, to disappear, telling her that everything would be better if she was just gone. Cue the events of the story, and naturally, Amirani suspects Amity's responsible for Boscha going missing.
    • Ever since they were kids, Amity wanted nothing to do with Boscha and Skara, and wished for them to leave her alone. By the end of Act 1, alongside with Boscha still missing, Skara quits the Boiling Isles once Amity makes her realize how dangerous and abusive the environment is to her.
  • Blessed with Suck: She gains a Healing Factor after turning into a Pseudo-Abomination which would be nice and dandy... if she didn't find this out right before Skara beats the stuffing out of her. This gets even more pronounced when Amirani reveals that, since the pudding Amity ate was made from her, then Amirani has complete control over her, meaning she's essentially a living puppet.
  • Bullying a Dragon: She somehow thinks it's a good idea to yell and threaten Amirani, who is not only a positively insane woman who has no qualms of hurting her, but who's currently capable of controlling her whenever she wishes. Needless, Amity gets put in her place soon after.
  • Bully Turned Buddy: She was original a pretty nasty bully to Skara, demeaning her, throwing looks at her, and even going as far as to shove an icicle on her face and give her a Breaking Speech that convinces her to leave the Boiling Isles, but after several revelations and a big piece of Humble Pie is given to her, she decides to work on their relationship, until they eventually become more friendly towards each other after the Blight Ball.
  • But I Read a Book About It: Literally, as the whole Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date she has with Luz was taken straight out of a romance book.
  • Calling the Old Man Out: Once she grows a spine, she calls out Odalia for everything she did, including using Mind Magic to make Alador rape Persephone.
  • Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them: A whole month after Skara left the Boiling Isles and returned to the Boiling Underworld, Amity not only still hasn't gotten over the fact she drove her away, but is actually worried over the radio silence she's got from her since then.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: She devolves into Gibberish of Love when Luz talks to her after the Grudgby game. And it's this fact that convinces Boscha to step in.
  • Character Exaggeration: In canon, while Amity does use Misplaced Retribution and act a little odd whenever around her crush, she doesn't do it often and manages to carry herself regardless. In here, not only does she think she's in a romance novel, but Misplaced Retribution becomes one of her defining flaws, being the source of most, if not all, of her issues.
  • Composite Character: She mixes her canon personality with the anger issues and hurting her older sister with Sota / Parker.
  • Crazy-Prepared: She kept an Ice Glyph on her person before Skara began beating her up.
  • Create Your Own Villain: If what Skara says is true, then it's implied Amity has a role in the person Boscha became. What that role was, however, isn't explained until Chapter 8.
  • Cute Monster Girl: Besides Tainted Veins and Exotic Eye Designs, Amity's Pseudo-Abomination form is kinda cute.
  • Dark Secret: That she's partially responsible for Boscha becoming the monster she was today, giving her "The Reason You Suck" Speech and causing a chain reaction that lead to it.
  • Demonic Possession: She gets possessed by Amirani via a Fusion Dance during the climax of the Cupid Bee Car.
  • Discard and Draw: Her Pseudo-Abomination powers were mostly tied to her unique physiology, so when Skara injects her with a serum to turn her back to normal, she loses those powers.
  • The Dreaded: Has become this in Act 2, with just about everybody terrified of inquiring her wrath after the savage beating she gave Skara.
     E-M 
  • Easily Forgiven:
    • Downplayed with Skara, who while understandably not ready to forgive Amity for all the crap they've pulled on each other, is willing to start from square one as long as they focus on Stopping the Blame Game.
    • Defied with Boa, and by extension Boscha. When she starts to say she forgives her for what happened at her tea party, Amity stops her, stating that she doesn't deserve to be forgiven for what happened, and that she only wants Boscha to know that she's sorry.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Amity doesn't like Skara one bit, but even she finds Viney emotionally manipulating her by claiming she's as bad as Boscha if she acts like The Stool Pigeon to be crossing a line.
  • Every Proper Lady Should Curtsy: She curtsies while greeting Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld and the woman her father raped, in an attempt to not inquire her wrath.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: While her pupils remain golden, her sclera becomes a very dark shade of purple after becoming a Pseudo-Abomination.
  • Extremely Protective Child: When she finds a letter at her destroyed house and assumes it's a Hostage Situation, her first instinct is to go rescue her family. Even Lilith pointing out this could be a trap does nothing to deter her. Unfortunately, when she does go to save them, she finds herself way out of her league, especially when confronted by Amirani.
  • Eye Scream: Her throwing a fireball at her face instead of Skara leads to both her right eye and the area around it to be scorched.
  • Fainting: She faints after Luz asks her out.
  • Facial Horror: She ends up burning her right eye and the area surrounding it when she attacks herself, rather than Skara.
  • Fingore: To show how much control she has over Amity, Amirani forces her to rip off one of her fingers, with the added dick move of regenerating her own figure, but denying the same for Amity.
  • The Friends Who Never Hang: While she hangs out a lot with Luz, the same can't be said with Willow and Gus. It's eventually revealed that the reason for this is because of the inherent awkwardness of hanging around casually next to her former friend, and a little kid of the same track as her older siblings. She does hang out with them a bit more after Skara tells her to try, but her interactions with Willow are still far and few in between, and it takes until Act 2 before she interacts with Gus.
  • Fury-Fueled Foolishness: She was so angry at breaking off her friendship with Willow that she took it out on Boscha, beating her up with a chair and yelling at her to disappear so she would stop making things worse for everyone. Needless to say, she came to pay a heavy price for this.
  • Get Out!: Says this trope to Willow when she asks her what happened between her and Boscha.
  • Generation Xerox: Played for Drama. Her initial dealing with Skara has her show as much Lack of Empathy and No Sympathy as her mother Odalia did when she interacted with Persephone.
  • Gibberish of Love: What she devolves into when Luz talks to her after the Grudgby game, much to Boscha's disapproval.
  • Glamour: After turning into a Pseudo-Abomination she starts using a glamour made by Edric, Emira, and Luz in order to look like her normal self. Notably, the glamour wears off moments before Amity and Skara have their faithful fight in Chapter 14.
  • Glamour Failure: See the above trope? It basically malfunctions moments before Amity and Skara have their brutal encounter and leaves her in her Pseudo-Abomination form.
  • Glowing Eyes: Her eyes glow while using her Thought-Controlled Power.
  • Good Thing You Can Heal: Discovers her Healing Factor when Skara slashes off one of her arms and moments before she gets the tar beaten out of her.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Her "The Reason You Suck" Speech towards both Boscha and Skara was so they'd get it through their head that she wanted nothing to do with them. Good news? They got the message. Bad news? Her encounter with Boscha causes a chain of events that lead to her turning into a psychopath by the present day, and Skara's so sick and tired of being used as a chew toy that she decides to not only leave Hexside, but the Boiling Isles as well.
  • Green and Mean: Downplayed, even with her being an Adaptational Jerkass. She's a lot more demeaning and unsympathetic to Skara, and also has a more visible temper than in canon. However, most of her unpleasentness is directed only at Skara, she treats everybody else decently.
  • Grew a Spine: After being verbally and physically put through the wringer through Acts 1 and 2, she finally decides enough is enough during "The Cupid Bee Car", not only making it clear to Amirani that she won't be her punching bag anymore, but calling Odalia out for all of the crap she did.
  • Hate at First Sight: As revealed by Inner Amity, Amity hated Skara as soon as she laid eyes on her, Blowing a Raspberry and being quite hostile when they first met.
  • Hates Their Parent: She has nothing but disdain for Odalia, with her anger only increasing the more she finds out about the reprehensible things she did, both to herself and others, just to get power.
  • Healing Factor: Gains one of these after becoming a Pseudo-Abomination.
  • Her Own Worst Enemy: Amity's employment of Misplaced Retribution is easily one of the biggest obstacles she has in becoming a better person, alongside her furious temper.
  • History Repeats:
    • Just like her previous beating of Boscha, she begins beating Skara both mentally and psychologically when she reaches her Rage Breaking Point, pulling a Breaking Speech along the way that systematically tears down Skara's beliefs, and Amity suffers a My God, What Have I Done? moment when Skara collapses. About the only thing that changes is that compared to the first time, Amity tries to apologize to Skara only to realize the damage is already done.
    • Like in Chapter 3, Amity tries to apologize to Skara again near the end of Act 1, but while the apology is sincere, Skara's so sick and tired of being used as an In-Universe Catharsis that she makes it she will leave the Boiling Isles no matter what.
  • Humanoid Abomination: Pun not intended. After becoming a Pseudo-Abomination, Amity gains Exotic Eye Designs of a very dark Purple sclera against her golden pupils, Purple, glowing Tainted Veins, and the ability to split off parts of her body to create Abominations.
  • Human Resources: Witch Resources, in this case. She can split off parts of her body to use as material to create Abominations.
  • Hypocrite: She's just as angry at Viney as Luz is for essentially manipulating Skara into fixing Boscha's mistake, only to become a half-Griffin monster, which is the exact same thing Amity's been doing.
  • Hypocritical Heartwarming: Deconstructed. While fighting her Inner Self, Amity calls her out for causing her to insult Skara right after they had a Friendship Moment, Inner Amity is quick to shut her down by revealing the hard truth: the Mind Magic she's suffering? It's only amplifying the hatred she felt for Skara since they first met, giving Amity no moral high ground to claim, especially because the person she's chiding is essentially a version of herself.
  • Hybrid Power: As a Pseudo-Abomination, she doesn't even need to use cauldrons of Abomination goo to create her Abominations: she can just split off pieces of herself instead. This no longer applies after Skara heals her back to her normal self.
  • It's All My Fault: Has fallen into thinking ever since Skara left the Boiling Isles after their brutal fight. Lilith, however, is quick to set her straight.
  • Insult Backfire: When her siblings reveal they know about her getting a girlfriend, she tries to tease them by asking if they're jealous. Instead, they reveal they're proud of her, and go on for so long they get on her nerves.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: This is how she justifies thoroughly beating up Boscha and giving her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech when they were younger: Boscha was out of control acting like she was in the Boiling Underworld, and someone had to teach her what would happen if she didn't put a filter on her mouth.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Her Moment of Weakness in Chapter 8's flashback turns out to be this, since not only is she doing it in front of the rulers of the Boiling Underworld, who detests weakness, but because it makes Boscha look even more pathetic to have been beaten up by her.
  • Internal Reveal: In Chapter 10, Luz finally tells Amity that the reason they became girlfriends was because Boscha sent her a letter that told her not only that, but that she needed to take the first step. Amity takes it about as well as you'd expect.
  • Insistent Terminology: After the Blight Ball, she's quick to clarify she's not Amity Blight, but just Amity.
  • In-Universe Catharsis: Has come to use Skara as one of these ever since Boscha went missing. This becomes one of the biggest factors for Skara's decision to leave, as she simply can't stand being near Amity anymore.
  • Jerkass Has a Point:
    • Amity's insistence that Boscha isn't somebody people would love or even like is quite prickish, but given how Boscha acted before being taken by the Train, you'd be hard pressed to deny that she's kinda right.
    • Later, during Chapter 14, her Breaking Speech towards Skara is indeed horrible, and proves to be The Last Straw, but everything she says about how Skara chose to be ignorant about not only Boscha's true nature until it was too late, to the point that people now see her as an extension of Boscha, but Amity's unsubtle dislike and aversion to being her friend despite it all is, again, completely right, given how we see most people treat her in previous chapters.
  • Jerkass Realization: After Skara reveals she wanted to be friends with Amity all along, and then collapses, Amity comes to realize what a jerk she's been and how badly she alineated two potential friends, all because she couldn't let go of the fact that she lost her friendship with Willow for this.
  • Jerkass to One: Just like Skara is this to her, Skara's the only person Amity's consistently mean towards. To everybody else, she's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. However, her treatment of Skara reaches such a low point that even the people she didn't bother are disgusted by it.
  • Journey to the Center of the Mind: She eventually enters her own mind in order to deal with the Mind Magic stopping her from moving on.
  • Kick the Dog:
    • It's one thing to get angry at Skara for taking control of you and telling you why you suck, but it's another thing to snap her flute in half right in front of her eyes and then demanding an apology shortly after.
    • Sometime before that, her idea of getting Mattholomule out of the Human Appreciation Society is to call Boscha a terrible person, while Skara is in the vicinity. And when Mattholomule doesn't answer? She takes it as proof he doesn't love her, and then brags that she knew it.
    • Then, while having breakfast with Skara and a general good time, she decides to bring up Skara's neutrality towards her, even after Skara makes it clear she's not in the mood. At the very least, something good comes out of this.
  • Little Girls Kick Shins: As shown when she and Skara met for the first time, Amity kicked her father's shin when he tried to convince her to give meeting Skara a chance. She then repeats this tactic against her corrupted Inner Self, freeing herself and running after the locked memory.
  • Life Saving Misfortune: Her Kick the Dog moment after her and Skara's Friendship Moment, which would've earned her a beating and verbal mauling at best, leads Skara to discovering the third eye on her forehead, revealing she's being affected by Mind Magic, and she and Persephone help her out with it.
  • Loss of Identity: All through Acts 1 and 2, Amity keeps learning more and more truths regarding not only what she's doing, but what her family has done and all the damage they've caused to everyone, the Braes included. She's left a Nervous Wreck who Apologizes a Lot after the Awful Truth regarding her family, and only returns to her confident, if slightly more humble self for the Blight Ball. She even decides that Shedding The Family Name is necessary after that fiasco is over, which is the last nail in the coffin to make it clear the Amity from the start is gone.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: Unlike Luz, she doesn't know that Boscha and Skara are the main reason she and Luz managed to become girlfriends. Until Chapter 10, that is.
  • Mage Marksman: She picks up a magigun for the climax, and uses it to Shoot the Rope and save Boscha before she's hanged.
  • Mark of the Supernatural: Her Tainted Veins, and Exotic Eye Designs, each signs of her Pseudo-Abomination form are shades of purple.
  • Meat Puppet: Near the end of Chapter 20, Amity begins cackling against her will, and Amirani promptly emerges from her, explaining that since the Abomination pudding she ate was made from Amirani herself, that Amity is practically under her control.
  • Mercury's Wings: Summons these in the rewrite of Chapter 14 after Skara throws her to the sky.
  • Misplaced Retribution: Amity has a real problem with this.
    • She tries to spin the idea that Skara is somehow at fault for the Mandragora incident, and demands an apology from her, when it's clear she wants Boscha to apologize, and this is the best she can come up with since she's quite The Unapologetic.
    • Later, when Skara rejects her apology and gives her an Armor-Piercing Question, Amity goes and whines to Willow, when the one who had the idea was Luz.
    • Chapter 8 reveals possibly her biggest blunder with this trope: She was so enraged about her parents forcing her to break her friendship with Willow, that she took it out on Boscha, giving her such a potent ""The Reason You Suck" Speech" it's implied to have broken her, turning her into the monster she is today.
  • Mook Maker: One of the benefits of being a Pseudo-Abomination is that Amity doesn't need Abomination matter to create her own Abominations, she can just split some matter off her body and use that instead.
  • Mouth of Sauron: An unwilling example. Part of the caveat of her Pseudo-Abomination powers is that Amirani has complete control of her, up to and including using her as a speaker when she's not around. Thankfully, this only happens twice before Skara puts an end to it.
  • Moment of Weakness: After the above moment, the guilt and fear overwhelm Amity so much she drops to her knees and begs for forgiveness to Boscha's parents, unaware she's insulting them by doing this.
  • More than Mind Control: Her hatred of Skara? The Mind Magic didn't create it; from the moment Amity laid eyes on Skara when they were young, it was Hate at First Sight, and the Mind Magic simply amplified it.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Once she manages to calm down and realizes what she just did to Boscha, Amity panics and tries to get her to wake up.
    • Later, when she practically mangles Skara until she reveals she wanted to be friends with her, and honestly didn't know she felt so uncomfortable with them, Amity begins to realize how much of a jerk she's been and tries to apologize later when Skara's about to leave the Isles.
    • She then realizes how much trouble she's in when she learns that she was actually bullying her sister and that her birth mother is the Queen of the Underworld.
     N-Z 
  • Never My Fault: Even if Amity doesn't fail to pin the blame on the actual person who wronged her, don't even think she's going to hold herself responsible for one second. This comes back to bite her on the rewrite of Chapter 14, as Viney, who knows she broke Skara's flute and sent her to a deep rage, decides to leave her to fend for herself when Amity still refuses to admit she did anything wrong, even after it's been proven she did break the flute.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: As revealed in Chapter 8, her giving Boscha an admittedly deserved "The Reason You Suck" Speech set off a chain of events that would eventually lead to Boscha becoming the Barbaric Bully she is in the present day.
  • Not Good with Rejection: She's livid when Skara rejects her apology, to the point she demands an explanation from the girl. She gets better at being rejected come Chapter 14, right before Skara leaves the Isles.
  • Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid: After eating the Abomination pudding in Chapter 8, Amity turns into a mix between a witch and an Abomination two chapters later.
  • No Sympathy: She doesn't show a single ounce of sympathy for Skara after her arm gets burned, believing she got it because she foolishly stood by Boscha's side during a fit, and is quick to remind her that she can always burn her again if she's not careful.
  • Not Quite Back to Normal: After Skara injects her with something that turns her back to normal Amity goes mostly back to normal... except for retaining her purple fingers.
  • Oh, Crap!: She feels shivers go down her spine when she realizes she's not only been kidnapped by Boscha's parents, but that she was taken to the same cell housing Skara, her recently-revealed half-sister, and Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.
  • Once Done, Never Forgotten:
    • Amity only beat up Boscha and delivered a Breaking Speech to her exactly once, but Skara's not gonna let her live it down.
    • Act 2 adds a new incident in her fight with Skara near the end of Act 1: not only did people grow fearful of her after the fact, but shoving an icicle right through Skara's eye and the Breaking Speech that soon followed earned her the Atrocious Alias of the "Abominable Blight".
  • Parasol of Prettiness: She brings a purple one to her and Luz's Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date in Chapter 6.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Her Pseudo-Abomination form has several Purple highlights all over it, and not counting Boscha, she's probably one of the strongest Hexside students around.
  • Purple Is the New Black: Her sclera turn into such a deep shade of purple that they resemble black in her Pseudo-Abomination form.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Skara using a specific song to control her for a brief moment in Chapter 14 sends her right over the edge, leading to their fight.
  • Related in the Adaptation: Thanks to Odalia's meddling, she and Skara share the same father, making them half-sisters.
  • Red Right Hand: After becoming a Pseudo-Abomination, Amity gains Tainted Veins among other physical oddities, like purple fingers. Once she's Brought Down to Badass, the Tainted Veins are gone, but the purple fingers stay.
  • Relationship Upgrade: With Luz, thanks to Boscha's interference.
  • There's No Kill like Overkill: She really goes ham against Skara in Chapter 14. First, she lodges an icicle through her head. Then, she practically calls her out for being an ignorant enabler of Boscha's bad attitude, which soon transforms into a Breaking Speech that tears down everything Skara once knew, culminating in her telling Skara point blank that nobody will ever want anything to do with her because, in their eyes, she's nothing but an extension to Boscha, and all because she refused to quit hanging around with her when she could.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers a magnificent one to a younger Boscha, though unlike most examples, this is Played for Drama, since it eventually balloons into making things worse for everyone.
    • She repeats this in Chapter 14, calling out Skara for willingly associating with a psychopath like Boscha, and being generally oblivious to not only how much she and Boscha hate each other, but how Amity wanted nothing to do with either of them and just kept bothering her, culminating with nobody wanting anything to do with Skara precisely because she hung around Boscha. Again, this example is Played for Drama.
  • Rule of Symbolism:
    • After becoming a Pseudo-Abomination, Edric, Emira, and Luz devise a Glamour to hide said form. In Chapter 14, moments before she and Skara duke it out, she suffers a Glamour Failure, leaving her real, monstrous self in full view for the remainder of the chapter.
    • Canonically, Amity dyed her hair green because Odalia liked her kids to be "color-coordinated" once she gets rid of the Mind Magic that Odalia plagued her with for so long, Amity stops dyeing her hair green and instead dyes it Purple, the color she always wanted.
    • After the events of the Blight Ball, Amity sheds the Blight name and decides to become just "Amity," shedding away her original self entirely in the process.
  • Say My Name: She shouts "SKAAARAAA!" after being freed from her control and before breaking her flute, leading to their fight.
  • Saying Too Much: She eventually gets so angry during her and Skara's fight, that she spills the beans on what she did to Boscha, then goes on to add that she doesn't care what she did, and that Boscha had it coming.
  • Self-Harm: Instead of hurting Skara in their sparring session, Amity ends up throwing the fireball at herself, causing her right eye and the area surrounding it to be scorched.
  • Shed the Family Name: After learning all the bullshit the Blight family has done (up to and including Alador raping Persephone and keeping quiet about it, and Odalia brainwashing her to believe Boscha was the worst) and the entire Blight Ball fiasco, Amity sheds the "Blight" name and decides to go by as just Amity for the time being.
  • Shock and Awe: Thanks to Persephone and a lightning glyph, Amity gains lightning powers just in time for "The Cupid Bee Car".
  • Sins of Our Fathers: As it turns out, her mother, Odalia, tricked her father, Alador, into raping Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld and Skara's mother. The fact Odalia and Alador essentially walked away just fine even after the Blights were exterminated enraged them so much they decided to take their anger out on her, with the added bonus of showing her how it feels to be on the receiving end of Misplaced Retribution.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes: Fits this better than in canon, since they clash with the Purple sclera she gets from her Pseudo-Abomination form.
  • Tainted Veins: Her veins glow purple up to her elbow in her Pseudo-Abomination form.
  • Technicolor Fire: When Boscha teaches her how to do fire magic, the resulting fireball is purple.
  • This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself:
    • Once Persephone reveals there's a way to undo Odalia's Mind Magic on Amity, and with it the forced memory warp she's been going through, Amity insists on doing it alone, believing that this is something she needs to do by her lonesome to ensure she doesn't hurt anyone anymore.
    • During the Blight Ball, with the monstrous Amirani's chest blown open and weakness exposed, Amity once again decides to go there alone, reasoning that Amirani has been putting her through the wringer so much, she needs to put an end to her herself. Of course, unlike last time, this one has unexpected consequences...
  • Thinks Like a Romance Novel: In Chapter 6, during an Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date, Amity tries to pull a typical romance novel moment and kiss Luz while covering themselves with her Parasol of Prettiness. Predictably, Luz is freaked out at the sudden kiss, and only grows more incredulous when Amity reveals she literally based the date on an Azura The Good Witch book, down to the letter.
  • Thought-Controlled Power: One of the benefits of being a Pseudo-Abomination is that Amity doesn't need to say anything to control her Abominations, she just need to think of an order and they'll do it.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Amity was already a pretty talented magic user, but upon becoming a Pseudo-Abomination and training with Lilith, she can not only summon multiple Abominations and control them with a thought, but even make them look like herself.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Minor, but it's there. When she goes to see Skara before she leaves the Boiling Isles and her potential apology gets rejected again, rather than blow up about it like the first time, Amity stays calm and listens long enough for her and Skara to leave on relatively civil terms.
  • Tritagonist: Of the Boiling Isles side of the story, as her development is the most important after Boscha and Skara's own growth.
  • Trauma-Induced Amnesia: When Luz and Skara enter her memories, they find one that is locked off, with Skara suggesting it's because of this trope.
  • Transformation of the Possessed: After being possessed by Amirani, Amity's body's transformed to not only wear the same dress she did, but sport her color scheme too.
  • Thinker Pose: Does a pose like this while pondering if Amirani and Prometheus are gonna go to the Blight Ball, seeing as Boscha allegedly coming back is something they'd like to see for themselves.
  • Variant Power Copying: During "Poglypherization", she manages to copy Boscha's Firebolt technique by charging up a Fire glyph with her lightning powers just as she activates it.
  • Ungrateful Bastard:
    • Chapter 8 retroactively makes her come across as this: After she beat up Boscha so badly she suffered a Moment of Weakness in the worst possible time, Boscha took the fall for her, taking the full brunt of her mother's anger and disappointment so Amity wouldn't be hurt. Cut to the present day, and Amity can't stand being around Boscha and makes her disapproval of her very clear.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her "The Reason You Suck" Speech to a younger Boscha sets off a chain of events that causes her to develop into the sociopathic bully everybody hates and fears.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Chapter 25 reveals she and Boscha were genuinely friends once upon a time, training together and teasing one another in a harmless fashion. And then Odalia happened...
  • Yellow/Purple Contrast: Her Supernatural Gold Eyes clash heavily with her purple sclera and tones in her Pseudo-Abomination form. And in general, she's the Purple to Boscha's Yellow.
  • Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Amirani praises her after she beats up Boscha and the shame of it all leads to the Moment of Weakness said above.
  • You Are What You Eat: Amity eating the Abomination pudding caused a slow transformation into a Pseudo-Abomination.
  • You're Just Jealous: As she reveals to Luz eventually, this is more or less what lead to her original diary being destroyed; her siblings found out about her and Luz becoming girlfriends, and Amity tried to tease them by asking if they were jealous. Instead, the twins reveal they're proud of Amity, and they go on and on until she snaps and tries to attack them with fireballs... Only to burn her diary instead.
  • You're Not My Father: Amity outright cuts Odalia from her life when it seems like the two are about to be killed by Amirani going kamikaze on them.
  • Your Worst Memory: She begins reliving the moment she beat Boscha unconscious after doing the same thing to Skara.
