Hexside School of Magic and Demonics

    General 
  • Adults Are Useless: Though the staff seem to value their students in their studies, they can be pretty neglectful to their social and emotional needs and being outright encouraging of the sorts of things teachers should try to have their students avoid, such as a group of teachers excitedly watching a bunch of kids fight instead of breaking it up, dismissivly allowing Alpha Bitch Boscha to pick on students right in front of them or principal Bump having no problem endangering kids with death threats via attempted dissection, brainwashing them in "detention", or punishing students for wanting to learn more than one type of magic. He even states that he's open to the idea of Boscha getting away with murder, saying it's good for her to try new things.
  • Apathetic Teacher: A majority of the staff at the school appear to be oblivious to their students at best and neglectful at worst. Hermonculous fails any student who doesn't meet his expectations (except for Amity) and apparently couldn't tell the difference between a real abomination from a fake one, while other faculty members are dismissive of bullying that occurs there, with some even encouraging students to fight.
  • Assimilation Academy: While Hexside has tracks for the nine main covens, with the exception of Luz and the Troublemakers, students are expected to join just one for their whole high school years, though Willow does show that switching tracks is an option. As of "The First Day", Bump has since allowed students to take multiple different courses.
  • Extranormal Institute: A magical academy that houses all sorts of magical creatures as students.
  • Felony Misdemeanor: Can also count as a Played With Corporal Punishment and Disproportionate Retribution. The school has shown a few instances in these; like when principal Bump threatened to dissect Luz in order to expose her masquerading as an abomination, Luz, Gus, and Mattholomule getting sent to detention which is actually a giant monster pit where students get Brainwashed so they would behave better, and when Luz getting placed into the detention track for "mixing magic" when she was looking at an oracle crystal ball when she was taking potions classes to make see if potions was the right track she wants to be in, and sending other students to detention for intentionally doing such things, essentially punishing them for actually wanting to learn more.
    • Things were actually far worse during the time of Bump's predecessor, Principal Faust, who would expel students for such things as chewing too loudly.
  • Non-Uniform Uniform: A very mild example, but while all students wear the uniform of a gray tunic with a black belt, a hooded black capelet, and a long-sleeved shirt and pants in the color of their academic track, the students appear to have the flexibility to choose the style of their shirt and pants and what kind of shoes they wear.
  • Odd Name Out: Hexside does not follow the body part Theme Naming set by the other two schools mentioned in the series (or most of the other places on the Boiling Isles, for that matter).
  • Power Limiter: The students are only required to study one track as part of Emperor Belos' orders; once they join a coven, all their other magic is sealed away except of the one they chose. Averted as of "The First Day," as students are allowed to study multiple tracks of magic, which is technically legal due to not being in covens yet. By "Labyrinth Runners," several students are noted to be in multiple tracks. A visit by the Emperor's scouts almost leads to everyone being forced into a coven, but luckily they manage to ward them off.
  • School Uniforms are the New Black: Most Hexside students don't seem to have any non-uniform clothes outside of their Grom outfits, which can make it pretty weird to see Luz and her friends wandering around town in casual clothes while their classmates aren't.
  • Sucky School: It's an educational institute in the Boiling Isles, what did you expect? Besides the Assimilation Academy and moments of borderline Corporal Punishment over Felony Misdemeanor as stated a bit above, the school's home to an invincible monster known as Grometheus that must be beaten lest he brings darkness, there are constant monster attacks and dangerous traps everywhere, and it has all the high school cliches present, but with magic.
  • Wizarding School: The Hexside School of Magic and Demonics, where Luz makes a couple friends and one rival. She initially sneaks in by posing as her friend's magically created Abomination and ends up getting banned from the premises, but she is eventually allowed to enroll. There are two more schools that are rivals to Hexside — Glandis High and St. Epiderm.

Staff

    Principal Hieronymus Bump 

Principal Hieronymus Bump

Voiced by: Bumper Robinson

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bump_render.png
"The well-being of our students is our top priority. Which is why we send all our troublemakers to our new and improved detention pit."

"Boscha got away with murder? I can't say I approve, but at least she's trying new things."

The principal of Hexside. He has a red imp-like Palisman named Frewin latched onto his head to help with his sight.


  • Badass Teacher: When faced with a threat to his students' right to choose their own path of study, his response is to lead them into battle.
  • Been There, Shaped History: He's pretty old and was one of the earliest students of Hexside, even showing a picture of his younger self leading the charge to conquer and destroy the school previously occupying the site where Hexside would be founded.
  • Big Good: Played With While he may have a rough exterior and commits morally questionable acts, he genuinely cares for his students to the point where he leads the charge against the Emperor's Coven in "Labyrinth Runners".
  • Blind Without 'Em: In a rare non-glasses example, Bump has poor vision without the aid of his Palisman Frewin, who is usually attached to his head. Without it, he is seen missing one eye and has a scar running over his other one.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: While he does care about his students and is very honorable, he doesn't seem to realize or care about the harm he inflicts on them and the school's demeaning rules and rigorous disciplinary practices. He doesn't see anything wrong with threatening to dissect a living child, having his students brainwashed into behaving better, making one of his pupils fighting a fear inducing monster every year, and punishing "troublemakers" who actually want to learn more by studying more than one track.
  • Call to Agriculture: He appears to have retired from teaching by the time of the epilogue, with him being shown happily gardening while the Illusion Track teacher has taken his place as principal.
  • Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them: There have been several subtle hints that he enjoys the chaos Luz and her friends cause at Hexside. Season 2 more or less outright confirms he is devastated at being forced to expel Luz, Willow, and Gus under Odalia's orders, crying and lamenting every time he gets a chance to do so.
  • Characterization Marches On: He's depicted as more of an Ambiguously Evil Soft-Spoken Sadist Cold Ham in his first appearance, as opposed to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold Reasonable Authority Figure Large Ham in all subsequent appearances.
  • Compressed Hair: His palisman, Frewin, keeps his mane of hair tightly contained when residing on his head.
  • Cool Teacher: While he initially appears to be more of an Evil Principal, he eventually turns out to be this, albeit a bit "strict" to ensure the safety of the school and its students. He is brought to tears when Odalia and Alador force him to expel Luz, Willow and Gus, and in "Them's the Breaks, Kid", he expresses his support and pride in Eda after she refuses to play Terra's game, even if it will cost him his job. After he and the rest of the Hexside teachers are captured by the Collector's spies when defending the school, the students actually make a statue in his honor as the "coolest" principal. Said statue has him wearing sunglasses while doing a skateboard trick.
  • The Dragon: Bump was Faust's right hand man and enforcer when Eda was a student.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Has moments of this with his students, he threatened to dissect Luz for trespassing as an abomination, throws his students into a brainwashing detention pit, and dragged Luz to the detention track for "mixing magic" when she was simply looking at a crystal ball to see if she was in the right track.
  • Establishing Character Moment: He enters the room to see (Luz disguised as) Willow's abomination, and immediately decides that he wants to ''dissect'' her, holding out a knife while speaking in a cold and callous tone of voice. While he has Luz banned for this after trying to capture her, he also has Willow transferred to the Plant Track when he sees her potential for it. This establishes him as a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who, while not the kindest of people, maintains a rigid code of honor.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • He may take small amounts of joy in seeing students harassed and lightly tortured by the commonplace perils at Hexside, but when it comes to something that can actually harm students like the Greater Basilisk or "The Choosy Hat" he'll do everything in his powers to put a stop to it.
    • It seems his standards are set on whenever he believes his students can take a problem by themselves. According to Amity he turned a yearly ritual to have a student fight Grom, a monster posing threat to the entire Isles, into a celebration because he is that optimistic about his students coming on top each time.
    • His list of Eda's infractions is much shorter than Faust's, suggesting that after he took over Hexside he went through the list and left only the actually punishable infractions.
    • That said, he, like the rest of the staff, are pretty submissive towards Boscha due to her status. Even admitting he likes that Boscha is "trying new things" when he thinks he hears she got away with murder.
  • Evil Principal: Played With. He's the principal of Hexside and can be rather sinister sometimes. He is particularly this to Eda, taking visible pleasure in making her rectify all of the misdeeds on her old permanent record. He's also somewhat dismissive of the bullying, pain, and suffering his students go through, even occasionally by his hand like throwing "troublemakers" into a brainwashing detention pit and appears to do nothing regarding the teachers' incompetence at teaching and disciplining them. However, he can be a pretty Cool Old Guy to well-behaved and endearing students, offering them help and guidance along the way, albeit with a sense of Blue-and-Orange Morality and Ambiguously Evil. It is clear that in an off-putting kind of way he ultimately does care a lot for his students; he even stands up to Adrian Graye and the Emperor's Coven when they attack the students of Hexside.
  • Eye Scream: "Hunting Palismen" reveals that he's missing an eye with a scar over the other one, and that his Palisman, Frewin, resides on his head to help him see.
  • Handicapped Badass: "Hunting Palismen" reveals that he's missing an eye and uses his Palisman, Frewin, to help him see, but he's a powerful Witch who helped found Hexside by destroying the school that was there previously and is still a powerful combat mage even in his old age and even when he's using his palisman Frewin in his staff form (i.e. when he doesn't use him as a replacement for his destroyed eye).
  • Hidden Depths: Despite his questionable morals, he genuinely cares about his students and giving them a good education. When Mattholomule makes a fool of himself at the Covention, Bump's immediate thought is that he's failed as a principal, rather than berate the student for being incompetent. He also sees the value in having a human exchange student and does ultimately allow students to study more than one kind of magic when they show him how much good it could do. And despite his complaining over all the trouble Eda caused in her day, Season Two reveals he actually likes the mayhem Luz, Gus, and Willow cause, feeling it brings some excitement to the school. When the Blights force him to expel them, he's so upset he actually cries over having to turn them away.
  • Irony: For a guy who claims to value his student's safety and is willing to protect them from outside threats such as a basilisk and the Emperor's Coven, he does have tendency to threaten, endanger or traumatize the children with his Corporal Punishment methods of discipline, his ethically questionable policies and regulations and disregards their emotional and social needs, whether he realizes it or not.
    • On a smaller note as stated above, he claims to value his student's education, yet in "The First Day" its revealed that he puts "troublemakers" into the detention track just because they want to learn more than one type of magic and forbids them from learning any magic for the rest of the school year, which contradicts his role in teaching. He rectifies this at the end of the episode but it's clear that the irony is lost on him.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: "Something Ventured, Someone Framed" shows that while he can certainly be a jerk, he is also very honorable, sticking to agreements he makes, being willing to hear students out and show leniency as he deems fit, and not ratting anyone out to the Emperor's Coven if it's not in his interests as a school principal. He also shows that he is willing to learn from his own mistakes and better himself in "The First Day". "Enchanting Grom Fright" shows that he believes in his students enough that he is convinced whoever is chosen to fight Grom will succeed. In Season 2, he cries a few times after Amity's mother forces him to expel Luz, Willow, and Gus, lamenting that the school is boring without them around to liven it up — despite threatening to shoot them with a ballista. He also clearly loves his Palisman.
  • Knight of Cerebus: For "I Was A Teenage Abomination", his entry marks the point where the situation at Hexside goes from silly to serious, and he himself doesn't say or do anything humorous. He loses this status in all of his following appearances, being Laughably Evil at worst, a comedic Jerk with a Heart of Gold at best.
  • Large Ham: Surprisingly for someone who is so calm and collected in his regular demeanor, when Bump has to perform in front of a crowd he goes all out in doing so, as seen in "Covention" and "Enchanting Grom Fright."
  • A Lighter Shade of Grey: Bump isn't exactly kind or forgiving, but he is miles better than his predecessor, Faust. Whereas Bump gives temporary detention for troublemakers and is willing to reconsider suspensions, Faust would expel students for the smallest of reasons, to the point where Bump voices concerns that they won't have a graduation class.
  • The Minion Master: His Abomination Coven tattoo is briefly visible in "Escaping Expulsion", and in his first episode he is shown controlling a large group of abominations to try to capture Luz.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: Named for Dutch renaissance artist Hieronymous Bosch, who is largely famous for his surrealist works, in particular The Garden of Earthly Delights (which much of the Boiling Isles design does nothing to hide its inspiration from) and The Seven Deadly Sins. (Bosch also did a drawing called The Owl's Nest, which is notable given the show's title.) Bump's facial design also seems to take cues from "Old Man in a Hat", which was a supposedly posthumous drawing of Bosch; this may simply be a coincidence, however.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Back when he was Vice Principal, the reason he was against Faust expelling too many students for minor infractions was that they won't have a graduating class.
  • Putting the "Pal" in Principal: While he's as much of a Soft-Spoken Sadist as one would expect from... well, anyone native to the Boiling Isles, he is presented as one of the more levelheaded and tolerant members of Hexside's staff. While at first antagonistic towards Luz and Eda, his grievances are understandable to an extent (both of them having broken various rules and caused considerable damage to the school), he agrees to keep both of them a secret from the Emperor's Coven for their protection and is genuinely sorry when Odalia and Alador has Luz, Gus and Willow expelled, having grown fond of them.
  • Really 700 Years Old: In "The First Day", he says that he's only got 300 years until he can retire, implying that he's fairly old by human standards.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Zig-Zagged.
    • Despite wanting to dissect Luz and later banning her from the school, he is impressed with Willow's abilities and transfers her to the plant magic track, showing that he does care about bringing out the potential in all of his school's students. He also allows Luz to enroll at Hexside and even promises to keep her involvement with Eda a secret provided she doesn't cause any more trouble.
      I'm a principal, not a stooge.
    • In "The First Day", after Luz, with the help of the troublemakers, saves the school from the basilisk, he, albeit reluctantly and at everyone's goading, lets the troublemakers attend two of the classes they want to be in, and allows Luz to take all of the classes.
    • Loses a bit of this when he mishears Boscha got away with murder, admitting that he doesn’t approve, but likes that she’s trying new things.
    • He is among the people in the crowd to stand up for Eda in "Young Blood, Old Souls".
    • Loses some more points in "Follies at the Coven's Day Parade" when Luz records a video to her mom to convince her to stay in the demon realm he explains the school's priority of student's safety before immediately showing Luz the renovated detention pit followed by a terrified child being thrown in, pleading for help. The cheerful smile and double thumbs up afterwards don't exactly help Luz as much as he thinks it does. To his credit he did at least offer to help her with the video of his own volition.
    • The flashback in "Them's the Breaks, Kid" shows that, while he wasn't thrilled with having to make a blue-ribbon student out of an irrepressible prankster and hell-raiser like Eda Clawthorne, he still went out of his way to encourage her and tried to advocate on her and Raine's behalf when he feared they'd be hurt. His sardonic attitude to Luz seeking enrollment makes sense in hindsight; even if Luz is a great student in the making, Eda, the biggest troublemaker in Hexside history, advocating and making excuses for her doesn't bode well.
    • By the time of "Labyrinth Runners", he is perfectly willing to let his students choose multi-track options, despite initially believing it would be "more trouble than it's worth".
  • Redeeming Replacement: While he does show moments of cruelty like attempting to dissect Luz and is apathetic to his students predicaments such as Boscha's bullying, he's practically a saint compared to his predecessor Principal Faust.
  • Reverse Arm-Fold: He's usually standing with his hands clasped behind him with the sleeves of his robes joined together.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: He spent most of his career following the rules laid out by the Emperor. With Luz and Eda's influence, he slowly began to bending the rules which helped the students become happier and more productive. Graye's invasion of Hexside was the final straw, and Bump has taken a firm stand against the Emperor along with his students.
  • Seeing Through Another's Eyes: He primarily uses Frewin for this purpose in his day to day life by wearing him as a hat due to his otherwise impared vision.
  • Signature Headgear: The imp on his head isn’t a parasite controlling him, but rather his palisman Frewin, who helps him see. A photo from his school days confirms he’s been wearing him since he was younger.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: Even when threatening to cut a living being open, he speaks calmly and softly.
  • So Proud of You: After Eda and Raine object to Terra Snapdragon's draconian contest in "Them's the Breaks, Kid", he tells her that he is very proud of her for doing the right thing. Notably, her doing the right thing was likely to cost him his job, and he still expressed pride in her.

    Professor Hermonculus 

Professor Hermonculus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7895.png
"I just don't think quitters make good leaders."

The professor of the abomination track.


  • Apathetic Teacher: The fact that Amity is the only one in his class who could get a passing grade without cheating says a lot more about his incompetence as a teacher than it does about his students. Failing to see through Luz's obvious abomination disguise doesn't do him much favor either.
  • Failed a Spot Check: For someone whose entire career is devoted to abominations, he somehow didn't see through Luz's Paper-Thin Disguise in "I Was A Teenage Abomination".
  • Familiar: He has a fairly unique looking palisman that appears to actually be a miniature abomination.
  • I Gave My Word: Despite clearly having it out for Willow, he still honors his promise to approve her Flyer Derby team after she fufills his condition of beating him in a practice match.
  • Jerkass: He forbids Willow to set up a Flyer Derby team in "Any Sport In A Storm" solely because he's still upset about her dropping his class to switch to the Plant track back in the beginning of the series (calling her a "quitter" for it), even though he's actually a fairly competent player of the sport himself. He also cheats during the practice match by knocking her off her staff after he had already been eliminated from play (and only gets away with it because the referee is one of his abominations).
  • Meaningful Name: It's a combination of "Herman" and "homunculus". In addition to its ties to medieval alchemy, the word "homunculus" is Latin and literally means "little person." Fitting for a diminutive demon.
  • Too Important to Walk: Given how small he is, he is almost always being carried around by an abomination. And it’s justified because he can’t reach the boards.
  • Uncertain Doom: He's never seen in Skara and Matt's flashback to the Day of Unity in "For the Future", so it's unclear if he was captured alongside the rest of the teachers or simply not at the school at the time.

    Illusion Teacher 

Illusion Teacher

Voiced by: Grey Griffin (Season 1), Rachael MacFarlane (Season 2)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/illusionsteacherbyveggie.PNG
"It's nice to see the kids embracing multitracks. I remember giving up everything for illusions."

The professor of the Illusion track.


  • Badass Teacher: She's shown taking part in the initial defense of Hexside after the Collector is released, though she ends up getting captured alongside all the other teachers.
  • Mama Bear: When Gus reveals that a Coven Scout (disguised as Graye) was going to force a coven sigil on Edric, she immediately throws herself between them despite the fact that she has no offensive magic and it's effectively treason.
  • Master of Illusion: She's a member of the Illusion coven and is skilled enough to teach it at a high school level. She can also undo any dangerous mistakes that her students might have made, such as accidentally erasing their own face.
  • No Name Given: According to Production Associate Rebecca Rose, her name is simply "Illusion Teacher".
  • Only Sane Woman: Most of the teachers at Hexside are depicted as lazy, apathetic to bullying, or flat out Jerkasses, while she actually takes her job seriously and is shown to care for her students. Unsurprisingly, she ends up taking Bump's place as principal when he retires.
  • Power Stereotype Flip: Pretty much every illusionist in the series is depicted as having a flair for theatrics or being The Trickster (Gus even describes them as using their magic with "a hint of showmanship"). She on the other hand is shown as being rather grounded and responsible.
  • Third Eye: She has three eyes, which is rather ironic when you consider the fact that she's teaching a form of magic that's all about deception, the exact opposite of what a third eye would usually represent.

    Principal Faust 

Principal Faust

Voiced by: Eric Bauza

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/principal_faust.png
"Some students are... irredeemable."

"Because to fight evil, you must understand evil. All your misdeeds, pranks, schemes, they have given me insight into the depravity that lurks within the minds of children."

The former principal of Hexside.


  • Bad Boss: Tells Bump that he's fired if Eda can't get a blue ribbon at I.F.W.O.T. after Bump challenges his views on students, and is clearly rooting for her to fail.
  • Big Red Devil: He's more of a pink color, but otherwise he fits the look to a tee.
  • Character Tics: He often twists and cracks his neck ominously in unnatural angles.
  • Child Hater: He's convinced his students are all "evil", and relishes punishing them for the tiniest infractions.
  • The Comically Serious: His imposing figure and creepy voice contrast heavily with his absolutely ridiculous standards and petty behavior, making almost every line out of his mouth certified comedy gold.
  • Dean Bitterman: Played with. He's got the power-hungry sadism, the rules, and even the "deal" he makes with a particular troublemaking student so she can stay in school, but Eda suspects that the wager doesn't really have anything to do with her; he could've expelled her a long time ago, but didn't, and he's just using her now to have an excuse to fire Bump for his idealism.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Keeps expelling gifted students over minor incidents, so by the time he needs to send one to win a blue ribbon, Eda is his best option.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: To a FRIGHTENING degree, to where Bump is worried they won't have a full graduating class by end of term. He sends multiple students to detention for being "not early enough", and expelled the valedictorian for the crime of chewing too loudly, as well as their grudgby captain for not having shoes that fit his "appropriately squeaky" regulation.
    Faust: Too squeaky — a distraction. Not squeaky enough — can't hear them. Can't trust them.
  • The Dreaded: Faust was so feared for his foreboding appearance and absolute, Draconian rule over Hexside, that no one would dare cross him. Heck, he's more frightening than even the emperor himself.
  • Evil Is Petty: He's suspended and expelled children for a variety of inconsequential and petty reasons. Eda even speculates that her enrollment in the competition is less about discipline and more about punishing his vice-principal.
  • Evil Principal: Seems to be completely preoccupied with punishing his students over educating them, and takes credit for the accomplishments of the few who do manage to excel. The only reason why he didn't expel Eda ages ago is because he wanted to "know evil" by studying it up close, and has used her and her mischief as a case study so that he may understand "the depravity that lurks within the minds of children".
  • Evil Sounds Deep: The way he talks is outright demonic and foreboding.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Since Terra takes an interest in Eda, not only does sending Eda result in no one getting a ribbon, but Terra's intervention means that he can't fire Bump or expel Eda.
  • Horned Humanoid: Boasts a pair of steer-like horns so long that he's had two smaller paintings made just to hang on either side of his office portrait. He even has to turn or tilt his head 90 degrees to avoid bumping into things as he moves around.
  • Hypocritical Humor: He calls the class valedictorian a "disgusting monster" because they chewed too loudly in the cafeteria... and then immediately cracks his neck 90 degrees and lets out a horrifying, seething breath, for no clear reason.
  • Know When to Fold Them: Backs down from expelling Eda when Terra Snapdragon intervenes on her behalf. For all his arrogance even he knows better than to pick a fight with a Coven Head.
  • Meaningful Name: He makes a deal with Eda and Bump that is heavily stacked against the both of them; in other words, he signs them to a Faustian bargain.
  • Obviously Evil: A fiery satanic being with a malicious streak who regularly commits torture and threatens students who don't meet his standards.
  • Perpetual Frowner: Mostly sports a huge menacing frown baring teeth. He only smiles when he sees the IFWOT as an opportunity to fire Principal Bump if the latter fails to keep a young Eda in line.
  • Playing with Fire: His tail is constantly on fire, and he summons flames when the bell rings.
  • You Are What You Hate: Faust views students as depraved and evil that he seeks to stamp it out. Clearly this guy can't look himself in the mirror.

    Bo 

Bo

Voiced by: Eden Riegel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bo_profile.png

A healing track student who is a Recurring Extra.


  • Blue Is Heroic: Her most defining trait is that she's incredibly friendly and that she always appears with the color of blue. Speaking of that blue, she's on the Healing track.
  • Healing Hands: On track for the Healing Coven, given her blue uniform. The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue shows her (along with several other Healing witches) taking part in Alador's experiments for permanently removing coven sigils.
  • Intrigued by Humanity: "Something Ventured, Someone Framed" shows that she's a member of the Human Appreciation Society.
  • Nice Girl: Her primary character trait is that she's friendly with just about everyone. In fact, she's probably the only person on friendly terms with Boscha who is seemingly immune to her Toxic Friend Influence.
  • Recurring Extra: Just like Eileen and every other student, she always appears as this.
  • Tuckerization: Is based on Bosook 'Bo' Coburn, a director and storyboard artist for the show.
  • Youthful Freckles: Has some freckles on her nose.

    Celine

"Moon Girl"

An Oracle track student and Recurring Extra.


  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: Her Grom date was Mattholomule of all people.
  • Elemental Eye Colors: She has a purple eye, matching with the color of the Oracle track.
  • Interspecies Romance: Implied. She's shown dancing with Mattholomule during Grom, though it's unclear if they're dating.
  • Magic Staff: She's shown competing in the Gland Prix with her palisman staff, which appears to be a venus flytrap.
  • Meaningful Name: Selene, the Greek titaness goddess/personifaction of the moon before Artemis took over. She's a demon with a moon crescent for a head.
  • Never Bareheaded: She always wears a bow on the left end of her crescent. It's usually yellow, though she swaps it out for a red one as part of her Grom outfit. Following the Collector's takeover of the Boiling Isles, she ends up using a spiked bracelet instead.
  • Non-Human Head: Her head is a moon crescent. May also qualify as Horned Humanoid if the crescent is viewed as a pair of horns.
  • Our Demons Are Different: Hooty uses a picture of her on his board of different types of demon, showing that she's a Bipedal demon.
  • Seers: She studies Oracle magic at Hexside, which includes scrying and fortune telling. On screen, she has been seen summoning a ghost or other apparition in a spar.

    Eileen 

Eileen

Voiced by: Kimberly Brooks

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eileen_0.png

A cyclops from the Potions track and a Recurring Extra.


  • Cyclops: She's a cyclops whose eye is so huge that it takes up her whole face. According to pictures in "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door", she actually started out as just the eye, but grew a humanoid body as she grew up.
  • Emotionless Girl: Downplayed. She does have emotions but most of her appearance involves her to slouch over her back with a dull expression in her face (or eye).
  • Extreme Omnivore: She apparently tried eating paper clips during the Collector's reign over the Boiling Isles, given how nervous she looks when Gus informs her that they aren't a good meat substitute.
  • Faceless Eye: Her "face" is just a giant eyeball.
  • Hidden Depths: She is seen staffing multiple covens and booths, which implies that there's more to her than it seems.
  • Identical Granddaughter: During Luz and Lilith's trip to the past, we briefly see a cyclops that appears to be her direct ancestor. Outside of eye color and the design of their hair, the two look near identical.
  • Intelligible Unintelligible: Most of her dialogue is muffled due to her lack of any visible mouth, yet the other characters have no trouble understanding her.
  • Intrigued by Humanity: She's a member of the Human Appreciation Society and demonstrates a rare moment of excitement when getting to meet Luz.
  • No Mouth: She doesn't have a mouth, or a nose for that matter.
  • Not So Stoic: While Eileen is usually depicted as looking bored and expressionless, she does express genuine shock when Luz challenges Amity to a witches duel in "Covention", and excitement on meeting Luz in "Something Ventured, Someone Framed".
  • Our Demons Are Different: "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door" reveals that she's a Bipedal demon.
  • Punny Name: Her head is only an eye, hence "Eye-leen".
  • Recurring Extra: Has appeared in many episodes mostly doing random things such as staffing various coven booths, a book stand, and being part of the human appreciation society.
  • Social Media Before Reason: When the Collector's spies first attacked Hexside, her immediate reaction was to post about it on Penstagram.

An Abomination track student and Recurring Extra.


  • Ambiguously Human: It's unclear if she's meant to be a witch or a bipedal demon, as she appears almost completely human apart from her horns.
  • Animal Motif: Rams and sheep. She has a ram palisman, fleece-like hair, large horns, and even her name appears to be a reference to the nursery rhyme "Mary had a little lamb".
  • Competition Freak: She's shown taking the Flyer Derby practice match far more seriously than her male teammates despite having no actual stake in the outcome.
  • Ear Wings: A variation. Her palisman's horns unfurl into wings when in flight.
  • Elemental Hair Colors: She has bright purple hair, which is rather fitting for someone studying abomination magic.
  • Horned Humanoid: She has two horns that are larger than the rest of her head.
  • Magic Staff: In "Any Sport in a Storm". she is shown to have a ram palisman.
  • Maker of Monsters: She's a member of the Abomination track.
  • Recurring Extra: Most of her appearances are in the background, with the closest thing to plot relevance being when her failed abomination precedes Willow's presentation in "I Was a Teenage Abomination".

The "Foreign" Exchange Student

"Yeah! Yeah! I'm gonna study everything!"

A teenage girl who discovers a portal to the Boiling Isles, where she studies with Eda as a witch-in-training. In "The First Day", she becomes an official exchange student at Hexside and is granted the privilege to study all the tracks after she and the Troublemakers saved the school from a greater basilisk.

    Edric & Emira Blight 

Edric & Emira Blight

Voiced by: Ryan O'Flanagan (Edric), Erica Lindbeck (Emira)

Emira (left), Edric (right)

Emira: We're proud of you, sis.
Edric: Yeah, you're becoming more of a delinquent every day.

Amity's older twin siblings. A pair of mischievous pranksters who hail from the Illusionist track at Hexside. The two can sometimes go overboard in their pranks, but they are still good kids who are always there for their sister, whether she likes it or not.


Tropes that apply to both

  • Affably Evil: While not outright evil, they are trouble-makers who spend their first episode scheming to expose Amity's diary and humiliate her. They are also very smooth and charming, adding to their good publicity, and seem to genuinely like Luz.
  • All Genes Are Codominant: The twins' mother's hair being light green and their father's being dark brown somehow made their hair dark green.
  • Aloof Big Brother: For a while, they seemed apathetic to Amity's own troubles, especially the pressure their parents put on her. Over time, they've become aware of how miserable Amity's life has been until Luz came in and turned it upside down, and in a good way. This is thoroughly subverted by the middle to end of Season 2 where they outright help Amity on a semi regular basis. When Amity returns to the Demon Realm after two months in "For the Future" both are overjoyed to see her (a feeling reciprocated by Amity) , with Emira rushing to hug her, Edric further hurting himself despite being a Bandage Mummy just to hug his little sister, and Amity embracing both in a tearful Group Hug.
  • Ambiguously Evil: Only in their debut episode, which leaves it unclear whether their fondness for Luz and misguided "tough love" sentiment toward Amity is genuine, or if they are only manipulating Luz in order to torment Amity, as they only befriended her after hearing how she'd caused Amity humiliation twice in the past. In "Adventures in the Elements" they appear to genuinely regret the library incident and have been trying to make it up to Amity by being overly protective and sweet which they continue to be in future episodes.
  • The Atoner: In "Adventures in the Elements", Amity mentions that they've both been acting extra protective and nice towards her to make up for their earlier accidental Deadly Prank in "Lost in Language".
  • Bait the Dog: After Amity turns down Luz's peace offering to read to the children, they tell off "Mittens" for not treating Luz nicely. Edric and Emira include her in their antics of messing with everyone at the library. When Amity thinks Luz is the one trying to steal her diary, however, they do nothing to correct the misconception.
  • Big Brother Bully: In their debut episode, they plan to publicize Amity's diary due to Amity's persistent tattling. When Luz points out that this may be going too far, they justified this as tough love from family. Later episodes seem to indicate they genuinely believed this is the right thing to do. They soon drop this after a couple episodes as they see Amity much less uptight and more relaxed, though they will throw in the occasional teasing.
  • Big Brother Instinct: "Adventures in the Elements" shows that they do care for Amity and can be genuinely kind and thoughtful at times, even if they still tease her.
  • Big Brother Mentor: And sister. They both take on a teaching role towards Amity in "Adventures in the Elements".
  • Big Little Brother: Edric is slightly taller than Emira, despite being the younger of the two.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In their initial episode, they appear very charming and friendly but are known troublemakers and have a tendency to pick on Amity. This is heavily downplayed in future episodes after they realise their pranks endangered both their sister and Luz and work to make up for it. Subsequent appearances later on show that while they're still pranksters, they truly do care about Amity and are on good terms with Luz too, effectively inverting this trope.
  • Brother–Sister Team: Edric and Emira do everything together, especially when it's something that causes trouble.
  • Calling the Old Man Out: In "Reaching Out", they both made it clear to Alador that they're not happy for putting Amity to the side when she was trying to help him restrain Warden Wrath.
    Emira: What the heck, Dad?!
    Edric: Boo!
  • The Cameo: They are briefly seen in the Illusions classroom during "Something Ventured, Someone Framed".
  • Characterization Marches On: In their initial debut, they are petty big bullies, with their entire plan for the episode revolving around finding their sister's diary to spread around school and mock it to her face. In subsequent appearances, they are never so cruel again and usually show up to help Amity in some way.
  • Childish Older Sibling: Emira and Edric are much less serious than Amity, but to most people, they come off as more personable. However, their childishness does lead to their pranks going too far, to the point of apparent cruelty.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: They wear the blue uniforms of the Illusions track. After multi-tracking, Emira gains the dark blue sleeves of the Healing track while Edric gets sleeves that are both yellow and orange for the Potions and Beast Keeping tracks.
  • Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship: They (the "cool kids") end up forming one with Luz (the "loser"), as they are able to find common ground with her.
  • Date Peepers: Averted for the most part, as the two usually leave whenever Luz and Amity are having a moment to give them some privacy. However, one major exception comes up at the end of "Through the Looking Glass Ruins" when they both look on from the upstairs' window as Amity gives Luz a kiss, with Emira smiling and Edric nodding in approval of his sister's "bold move".
  • A Day in the Limelight: Downplayed in "Reaching Out" as they still aren't the main focus of the episode (though Ed is the major focus of the B plot) but it is the only episode that develops the twins beyond just being Amity's trickster older siblings.
  • Deadly Prank: They defaced Amity's favorite kid's book to make the protagonist monstrous. Unfortunately, Luz accidentally leaves the book open, causing Otabin to come to life under the Wailing Star's light and try to trap Luz and Amity in a book. Neither of the twins intended or knew about this while it was going on, and finding out what they almost did is why they become more protective of Amity.
  • Disappointing Older Sibling: Because of their trouble-making behavior and how they bully her, Amity is often quite annoyed with her siblings. But because of their charming nature, they can get away with their actions, which infuriates Amity. However, as time goes on, the three siblings became much closer, although the twins still tend to tease every now and then.
  • The Dividual: Visually they're not quite Half-Identical Twins, but act in unison. Their second appearance differentiates them a bit, showing Emira is a bit more levelheaded.
  • Don't Tell Mama: Whenever they help Amity go against their mother, they only ask for their sister to not let Odalia find out they helped, since they know that it'll get them in a lot of trouble with her as well. In this case, it's characters trying to hide doing the right thing from a parent wanting them to do the wrong thing.
  • Easily Forgiven: Luz doesn't seem to hold anything against them for the Frame-Up involving her and Amity's diary, leaving her to deal with the fallout and nearly getting her killed by a vandalized children's book. However it's worth noting that Luz never again spends any time with them without Amity being there to help keep them in line implying that while she may be on good terms with them she doesn't really trust them.
  • Entitled Bastard: Their biggest hang-up with Amity is that she has the nerve to attempt to keep them out of trouble and get them to act responsibly, whereas they seem to believe they should get to do whatever they want. This is put more into question with the revelation that they and Amity have Abusive Parents who Amity has good reason to fear subverting while Edric and Emira may just be acting out like any teenager would and their later appearances have them making an effort to help Amity and/or Luz out.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Zigzagged.
    • So far it's unclear if they really were annoyed at Amity for turning down Luz's nice gesture or if they saw an opportunity to mess with their sister. While they do mess with other people who don't deserve it, they haven't rejected people being nice to them as far as we have seen.
    • They apparently recognize that their prank with Otabin went too far and make an effort to make it up to Amity.
    • After finding out Luz is willing to take Amity's place as Grom Queen, they come over to the Owl House to use their illusion powers in an effort to prepare Luz for what Grom will do to her... though this is also an excuse to use illusions to make Luz extremely uncomfortable.
  • Expy: Of Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter as they are all mischievous prankster twins who are the elder siblings of the main character's main Love Interest.
  • Foil:
    • To Amity. Amity first appears as a bully, but ends up revealing Hidden Depths that shows that she's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold which stems from an Inferiority Superiority Complex. Edric and Emira first appear as cool, nice people, but end up revealing themselves to be callous bullies to their sister and screw with everyone simply for their own amusement. They seem to grow out of it by their next appearance, but they still tease her playfully.
    • They both are one to Lilith. All three are magically gifted older siblings who have a conflicted relationship with their younger sister. But while Edric and Emira may be bullies, they seem to do it out of Tough Love and are genuinely remorseful after their prank in "Lost In Language" puts Amity's life at risk. In their next appearance, they're shown doting on her, while still making playful jibes at her, and are nothing but proud of her being a talented witch in her own right. Lilith insists to want nothing but Eda's good, but tries to impose her authority over her and make her bend to the coven system.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling:
    • They are both the foolish siblings while Amity is the responsible one.
    • Between just the two of them, Emira is shown to be the more responsible one, while Edric displays a few Cloudcuckoolander traits.
  • Frame-Up: When Amity catches them and Luz with her diary and assumes the worst they simply allowed Luz to take some of the blame and bailed instead of trying to help Luz clarify what really happened.
  • The Gadfly: They love to cause trouble, and especially enjoy teasing their little sister.
  • Glamour: They both use one in the form of concealment stones, which keeps them looking presentable without actually having to put the work in. Edric hides his under his sleeve and actually wears a yellow shirt with a cooking pot on it and sweatpants, glasses, a growing moustache, and has his hair back with a headband, while Emira wears hers around her neck and without it has acne and her hair is worn loose and messy.
  • Green and Mean: They both have dark green hair and were portrayed as uncaring troublemakers and bullies towards Amity. However, in their later appearances they seem to have Taken A Level In Kindness and became more supportive towards Amity.
  • Half-Identical Twins: Downplayed. They have the same hair and eye colors and both have beauty marks, but they have different hairstyles, their beauty marks are on opposite sides of their faces, and Edric is slightly taller (however, the episode "Reaching Out" indicates Emira's beauty mark is glamour).
  • Heel Realization: They appear to have learned about the fallout of their Deadly Prank from Amity offscreen some time after "Lost In Language" and try to make it up to her by helping her with her training.
  • An Ice Person: They are both shown manipulating snow in "Adventures in the Elements".
  • Improbable Age: They are 20 years old by the time of the Distant Finale. Despite this, Emira is seen working at the hospital with their father and other people to remove Coven sigils for good. Meanwhile, Edric became a professor at the University of Wild Magic.
  • In-Universe Nickname: Their names are sometimes shortened to "Ed" and "Em".
  • Innocently Insensitive: Zig-Zagged since its unknown how aware they are of the extent of their actions. When they often annoy their sister, they justify it thinking that it's to get Amity to lighten up and that everyone else they mess with won't be bothered so much. They were also dismissive of Luz saying that she didn't mean to embarrass Amity, wanted to make up and befriend her, and didn't care about the situation they put her in regarding Amity's diary and the latter's misinterpretation of what actually happened; and to add more salt to the wound, they invited Luz to go goblin-tipping with them after they literally just fought with her over Amity's diary and made things worse for Luz and Amity's relationship, indifferently act like it was nothing, and left Luz and Amity to deal with the fallout, showing no signs of understanding of the situation they put Luz and Amity in, instead they're saddened that Amity "ruined the fun again".
  • Jerkass Has a Point: While their debut prank definitely went too far, they are absolutely correct in "Lost in Language" when they say that Amity treats other people awfully, something Luz agrees with them on and even Amity ends up conceding by the end. If later episodes are anything to go by, they simply don't want Amity to become like their mother.
  • Kick the Dog: In "Lost in Language", they attempt to steal Amity's diary and post its pages everywhere in order to publicly humiliate her simply because they think she's a kill-joy and are simply saddened when Amity catches them just because she "ruined the fun".
  • Lack of Empathy: At least in their debut episode, where they don't show any concern or remorse for their bullying of Amity and making Luz look culpable in the process, apathetically leave without even bothering to help patch things up and don't even seem to realize the seriousness of the situation or get why Luz would be upset about it. Downplayed and outright averted in later episodes, which show other sides to their personalities and relationship to their sister.
  • Like Parent, Like Child: Alador and Odalia's debut in season two reveals Edric and Emira's dynamic of a male space case and a female who keeps him on track echoes their parents' relationship, albeit a far healthier version due to Ed being more grounded, relatively speaking than Alador and Em simply not being a sociopath like Odalia.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Not only to the use their charm to get away with everything, but they also persuade an unknowing Luz into breaking into the library with them, secretly planning on exposing her diary to school.
  • Master of Illusion: Their Hexside uniform is light blue, meaning they're in the Illusionists Coven.
  • Meaningful Name: "Edric" is Anglo-Saxon and "Emira" is Arab, but both translate to "wealthy / prosperous ruler", like a prince or princess. Being first-in-line in the wealthy Blight family, it certainly fits them, and it's even highlighted in the episode with this brief scene where they put on the outfits to match the names.
  • Moral Myopia: After Amity stops their library pranks by reporting them to the head librarian (getting them kicked out), they decide to find her diary and spread her most private thoughts to everyone in school. When Luz tries to call them out on how mean that is, they claim that it's justified by the way she treats people and call it "Tough Love".
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Their reaction to finding out one of their "pranks" nearly got Amity killed during "Lost in Language" causes them to become much more protective of her. Even though they still tease her, their "pranks" are toned down considerably from the one they planned in their debut episode and they're now more likely to be seen helping Amity rather than messing with her.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: Upon learning they can bring book characters to life and even alter them by writing in their books, they immediately get to turning cute, innocent childrens' book characters into horrifying monsters.
  • Not So Similar: In "Lost in Language", Edric and Emira clearly see a kindred spirit in Luz, but the similarities between them end when it comes to compassion and empathy toward other people, which Luz has in abundance while they... don't.
  • Offscreen Karma: Word of God states that they got Stood Up at Grom.
  • Offscreen Momentof Awesome:
    • In "Clouds on the Horizon", they try to stop productions of the Abomatons by burning down Blight Industries, unfortunately they were caught by their mother.
    • In "For the Future", Edric revealed that they managed to escape from the factory so they could look for Amity and Alador.
  • One-Eyed Bats: Edric's bat.
  • Patchwork Kids: Like Amity, they both have facial structures similar to Odalia's and inherited her pale skin, while having Alador's golden eyes. However, unlike their sister, they have natural green hair like their mother, only in a darker shade of green.
  • Perpetual Smiler: Both of them are rarely seen without their smiles, just to drive the point through how they're often ready to prank.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • For all their faults, they do treat Luz well and help show her more of the ropes of the Boiling Isles in their debut appearance, even leaving on good if somewhat strained terms with her in spite of their indifference to her compassion for Amity.
    • "Adventures in the Elements" shows that despite their almost non-stop teasing, they do love and care for Amity and will help her when she really needs it. If anything, they treat her better than their parents do. They're similarly helpful in "Enchanting Grom Fright."
    • In "Escaping Expulsion", they help Amity, Willow, and Gus sneak into their parents' weapons showcase to rescue Luz and it just so happens that they like messing with their parents... though Edric can't help but prank them by conjuring "Hex Me" signs onto the backs of their cloaks. Unfortunately for him, Amity is wise to his pranks and returns them to sender.
    • In "Through the Looking Glass Ruins" not only do the two clearly ship Amity and Luz, fully supporting their relationship, they also help Amity understand her growing feelings.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Like Amity, they wear purple clothing, although it's a darker shade. Unlike her, their uniforms are not purple as they're both illusionists.
  • The Red Mage: Despite studying the illusion track at Hexside, "Reaching Out" reveals that Emira knows some healing magic and Edric knows some beast keeping and potion magic. As of "Labyrinth Runners" they are officially multi-track.
  • Share Phrase: "Hey Luz/Mittens!"
  • Shipper on Deck: The twins quite easily figure out that Amity and Luz have crushes on each other. Both not only openly approve of the relationship but are also very supportive of it as well.
  • Shipper with an Agenda: The reason they support Amity and Luz's relationship, is not just because it's cute or because they happen to like Luz personally, they do actually consider her to be a good friend (notable since we almost never see them outside of Amity's stories and don't know if they even have other friends), but also because they know of how much of a positive influence the human has had on Amity, a major priority for them considering that she was basically Odalia's thankfully reluctant mini-me at first, so for them being supportive plays into their agenda.
  • Single-Minded Twins: Subverted, they appear to be this in their initial appearance, but later episodes show they have distinct personalities, with Edric being more silly and Emira being more grounded. The epilogue also shows them pursuing entirely different jobs as adults (Emira becomes a healer aiding in Alador's experiments to remove coven sigils and Edric teaches as Eda's new University of Wild Magic).
  • So Proud of You: In "Reaching Out", they are positively gleeful about Amity going behind their father's back.
  • Stood Up: According to Word of God, this is why they were hanging out together at Grom. Both their dates didn't show.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes: They inherited their father's gold colored eyes (much like their little sister), which highlights their skill with illusion magic.
  • The Friend No One Likes: Implied. Considering how they aren't shown hanging out with anyone else outside of Luz and Amity, its likely that due to their mischievous behavior and disregard for how much their actions hurt others, no one who gets to know them personally wants to be around them, with Luz and Amity tolerating them at best. This is evidenced by when they're stood up at grom and only spend time with each other, (though Emira dreads the thought of being stuck with Edric forever).
  • Took a Level in Kindness: When they return in "Adventure in the Elements", they're extremely nice and protective of Amity, partly due to their prank getting out of hand and them feeling guilt, but they do show a very loving fraternal side of them. This continues in "Enchanting Grom Fright" where they help Amity attempt to "train" Luz to fight Grom. After Season 1, they are often seen supporting Luz and Amity as much as they can.
  • Tough Love: How they try to justify to Luz their prank to post Amity's diary around school. Both of them act like it's sincerely for Amity's own good and will teach her not to treat others badly. Luz very much disagrees, since no one deserves it and the act will ultimately make Amity more miserable and spiteful. In all subsequent episodes the twins limit themselves to light teasing at worst.
  • Troll: They really enjoy getting under other people's skin, especially that of their little sister Amity, whom they teasingly refer to as "Mittens", which ironically claim to help Amity lighten up,, but in actuality would make her more miserable and bitter than ever. Even if they're trying to help Luz in "Enchanting Grom Fright", they do still clearly get a kick out of "training" her with illusions of things that she's scared of. Especially once she reveals her fear of Eda not thinking she's tough enough to fight Grom or be a real witch, which causes them to smirk in unison as they prep the illusion. They also won’t hesitate to embarrass their parents during business presentations, though they kinda deserve it for how they treat Amity and others.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: More trouble-makers than they are villains, but still able to use their charisma to get away with their bad behavior. In her diary, Amity cites frustration about this and how she seems to be the only one who knows they aren't perfect, though Luz learns this too, the hard way.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: In "Clouds on the Horizon", they are last seen being led away by Odalia's Abomatons after they were caught trying to sabotage their mother's airships, and do not appear again for the rest of season 2. "For the Future" reveals that they manage to escape and went off to search for Amity.
  • With Friends Like These...: They gleefully allow Luz to get blamed for helping them steal Amity's diary when she was actually trying to stop them from doing so and bailed instead of apologizing and help Luz clear the air. This is most likely because they didn't think it's a big deal at all, predictably though they remain on good terms, Luz finds that they simply aren't trustworthy and thus doesn't like having them around without Amity there to help keep them in line.

Tropes that apply to Emira

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emira_blight.png
Click to see her in the epilogue
"I think it looks great. But, yeah, maybe don't tell her I helped."

The elder of the Blight twins and the comparatively more down-to-earth one.


  • Actress Allusion: Erica Lindbeck voices Emira Blight, who acts like a bully to her younger sibling, much like her role as Siren.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Emira flirtatiously calls Luz "cutie", complete with a little wink at her.
  • Cool Big Sis: As the eldest child, Emira tends to be the one who supports her siblings the most and look out for them. Case in point, Emira helps both her siblings with their love lives in "Through the Looking Glass Ruins".
  • Hartman Hips: Averted. Despite the shapely build of both her mother and younger sister, Emira's hips stay on the smaller side even as an adult.
  • Healing Hands: "Reaching Out" reveals that she knows some healing magic. As of "Labyrinth Runners," she's decided to multi-track to study it officially. And the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue sees her assisting her father in his experiments to permanently remove coven sigils.
  • Messy Hair: Without her Glamour, her hair is untied and unkempt.
  • Only Sane Woman: Emira appears to be this among the Blight siblings, as she’s not a high-strung overachiever like Amity or a Cloudcuckoolander like Edric.
  • Rise of Zitboy: Downplayed, "Reaching Out" shows that under her Glamour spell she is hiding a mild case of acne, though whether or not the glamour is to hide the acne specifically or just so she doesn't have to bother with her appearance at all, since her hair is also undone, is never stated. It even persists after the Time Skip.
  • Women Are Wiser: Emira is more pragmatic compared to Edric and has to step in when he has incredibly stupid ideas like capturing and eating a wild bat. And, Edric tends to be klutzier to the point of accidentally texting a poem to his date's mom.

Tropes that apply to Edric

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/edric_blight.png
Click here to see him in the epilogue
"It says no trespassing, but I'm allergic to the rules."

The younger of the Blight twins and the relatively more quirky one.


  • Ambiguously Bi: Like Emira he is shown to mildly flirt with Luz when they first meet, and later in the episode "Through the Looking Glass Ruins" it's revealed he is going on a date, while nothing is revealed about who his date is, Emira uses gender neutral pronouns when talking about them.
  • Blind Without 'Em: Edric wears glasses. They're hidden beneath his glamour, alongside his other less desirable traits in appearance. If he ever forgets them, you wouldn't notice.
  • Butt-Monkey: Edric is often the one taking any slapstick or humiliation if he's the one in scene.
  • Characterization Marches On: In his first appearance, there is little difference between he and Emira, with both coming off as smooth and cool. In every subsequent appearance, this front is much harder for Edric to continue pulling off as his ditzy Cloudcuckoolander personality and Butt-Monkey tendencies reveal themselves.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Of him and Emira, Edric is shown to be an oddball. It appears he inherited that trait from his father.
  • Coat Full of Contraband: How he sells his self-developed fireworks rockets (he sold some to King).
  • The Ditz: Edric is not the smartest person at Hexside, especially compared to his sisters. He verges on Cloud Cuckoo Lander territory at times such as when he took Eda's suggestion of tasting snow seriously and trying to eat a wild bat. However, he and Emira are both skilled enough in magic to set high scores on their exams that Amity needs to put in additional training to best, perhaps making him a Genius Ditz.
  • Facial Scruff: Edric has the patchy beginnings of a moustache under his Glamour.
  • Hates Being Alone: While training Luz to fight against Grom in "Enchanting Grom Fright", he admits that his greatest fear is to be alone forever and is hurt when Emira says her greatest fear is being stuck with him forever.
  • Hidden Depths: "Reaching Out" reveals that not only does he practice beast keeping magic as a hobby, and has natural skills with potions, he's also got some insecurities we haven't seen until then.
  • Hunter Trapper: A toned down variant. He doesn't actually harm any of the animals he traps, but the combination of his illusion and beast keeping skills make him quite good at capturing wild animals.
  • I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: In "Adventures in the Elements", Edric tries to make a pet out of a bat he found (and originally wanted to eat), and attempts to do the same with the slitherbeast Luz had accidentally angered. "Reaching Out" shows he actually did keep the bat, also that he has an interest in Beast Keeping which would explain his desire to keep wild animals as pets.
  • Jack of All Trades: "Reaching Out" shows him demonstrate knowledge in Beast Keeping and Potions, while still being on the Illusionist track, but he claims the Beast Keeping is just a hobby. Eda says he's a wild witch in the making. As of "Labyrinth Runners" he's officially added both to his course of study by multi-tracking.
  • The Klutz: Edric doesn’t really pay attention to what he’s doing, and tends to act on reflex. One time, he clumsily texted a poem to his date’s mom. This trope gets deconstructed when Edric was running for his life from the Collector's spies, causing him to trip and fall into an empty well, deep enough for the impact to result a few dozen broken bones.
  • Like Father, Like Son: Edric certainly takes after his father. Alador does partake in less than legal ventures, and so does Edric, who trades unregistered and illegal goods. He also looks a lot like Alador when not using a Glamour.
  • Messy Hair: When his Glamour is removed, it's shown that he needs to use a hairband to keep his hair out of his face.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: When not wearing a Concealing Stone, his Facial Scruff, Messy Hair, and glasses make him look a lot like Alador.

"Ah, boo-hoo. I'm sorry. "I am the new kid." "I want friends." Ha! No. I want power. And I want drama. And I got one of those right now."
Click here to see him in the epilogue
"Believe it or not, at my old school, I was at detention plenty of times."

A recent transfer student from Glandus who joins the Human Appreciation Society as a craven power grab.


  • Ambiguously Brown: His voice actor is Latino, but no clue is given to his ethnicity.
  • Ambiguously Related: He mentions having an older brother in "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", and Steve is shown to look very similar to him when we finally see his face, but it's unstated in the series if the two are one and the same. Dana Terrace would later confirm on Twitter that the two are half-brothers and that their relationship was one of the things that got left on the cutting room floor when Disney reduced the length of season 3.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: He ultimately gets what he wanted and becomes the Human Appreciation Society's president, although it proves to be a Pyrrhic Victory.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: By his own admission, he craves "drama". He ends up getting it via being thrown into detention.
  • Big Brother Worship: According to Dana's Twitter account, he looks up to his older brother Steve, and even wears his hair the same way to emulate him.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Offers a seemingly sincere story about feeling alone as the new kid to deflect blame for lying about his human "artifacts", then calls the guards on Luz to get her thrown into detention.
  • Butt-Monkey: Becomes this in the Hexside introductory video, where something bad happens to him in every scene he's in.
  • The Cameo:
    • He makes a brief appearance in "Sense and Insensitivity", delivering copies of King's novel.
    • He is briefly seen in the memory photo class in "Understanding Willow".
    • Another in "Enchanting Grom Fright", where he's shown dancing with Celine and later photobombing Boscha and her friends' Grom photo.
  • Card-Carrying Jerkass: He talks down to others, wanting to seem superior to them, and takes great pleasure in taunting his enemies. These tendencies are explained away later as stemming from the dog-eat-dog background he endured at Glandus before transferring to Hexside.
  • Character Development: Initially, he was a haughty jerk who craved power and influence. By "Through The Looking Glass Ruins" Gus has helped him learn that power isn't everything while also developing a friendship, to the point he multi-tracks into the Illusion track by his next appearance.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Wears the brown uniform of the Construction track. As of "Labyrinth Runners," his sleeves are light blue thanks to also being on the Illusion track.
  • Delinquent: He's been in detention more times than he can count, and he's quite proud of it.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: As a member of the Consruction Coven, he can form things out of rock (like a saw for cutting through restraints).
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Before his formal introduction in "Something Ventured, Someone Framed", he appears in "Covention" where he uses a spell to enlarge his own head and displays a crush on Lilith due to her being someone who came from humble beginnings that rose to power.
  • Elemental Hair Colors: His hair is brown, the same color as the Construction Coven.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: Bria calls him "Matty".
  • Everyone Has Standards: Matt is a ruthless jerk, but in "Throught the Looking-Glass Ruins" he thinks the kids from Glandus are going too far by stealing Galdur stones from an Illusionist's graveyard.
  • Freudian Excuse: Hinted at. "Through the Looking-Glass Ruins" shows that Glandus, Matt's previous school, holds a strong Social Darwinist mentality. While it doesn't excuse his Jerkass behavior in his initial appearance, it would go a long way to explaining it. And the contrast Gus provides leads to his Jerkass Realization and subsequent Heel–Face Turn in the same episode.
  • Full-Name Basis: "For the Future" reveals that "Tholomule" is actually his last name. Meaning that he's been on this with everyone at school the entire time.
  • Hate Sink: He's a total jerk who loves being a total jerk. This is walked back after his Heel–Face Turn in Season 2, which shows he he does have some redeeming qualities.
  • Heel–Face Turn: After spending time with Gus in Season 2, he eventually becomes nicer and friendlier. In Season 3, he's firmly on Hexsquad's side.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Shows more emotional complexity in Season 2, and by "Labyrinth Runners" he's officially multi-track and branching out into Illusion magic.
    • In "For the Future" he demonstrates genuine leadership skills, as shown by the multitude of ideas that he and Jerbo tried to implements while Boscha and Kikimora are running Hexside into the ground.
  • In the Hood: Is always with his cowl's hood up.
  • Improbable Age: In the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, he is shown as a construction worker at the age of 17.
  • Interspecies Romance: Implied. He's shown dancing with Celine during Grom, though it's unclear if they're dating.
  • It's All About Me: He wants to be President of the Human Appreciation Society purely to satisfy his own ego and so its members will do what he wants.
  • It Amused Me: "I want power! And I want drama! And I got one of those right now!"
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Matt is right that Gus lied to Luz, leading to her getting dragged off to detention (even if Matt was the one who called the guards).
  • Jerkass Realization: After a season of being an unpleasant and unrepentant jerk to others, he realizes how empty and alone it really makes him feel and starts trying to correct his behavior, the tipping point being when he's coerced into helping some Glandus students rob a graveyard.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Whether it's about human culture or being in detention, he wants to be seen as the expert on things he knows nothing about.
  • Master of Illusion: As of "Labyrinth Runners" he's officially multi-tracking into Illusion magic. "For the Future" shows that he's becomes adept at the Smoke Out and credits Gus for teaching him Voluntary Shapeshifting.
  • Oh, Crap!: In "Any Sport in a Storm", he reacts this way when Luz spots him working for Tibbles.
  • Personality Powers: In "Something Ventured, Someone Framed", he says that he wants power and drama, which perfectly fits with him being in the Construction track and his eventual multi-tracking into Illusions.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: While he does end up becoming the new president of the Human Appreciation Society, it happened after he admitted to the others that his "human artifacts" were fakes, destroying his credibility.
  • The Red Mage: "Labyrinth Runners" reveals that he's now multi-track, with his second track being Illusion magic.
  • The Rival: To Gus, whom he seeks to supplant as President of the Human Appreciation Society. The rivalry gets dropped after "Through the Looking-Glass Ruins".
  • Robosexual: He apparently finds no problem in flirting with what has recently been revealed to be an Abomitron.
  • Smug Snake: He's deeply arrogant and confident when he's in control of a situation, but he starts panicking when he realizes Gus was telling the truth about having a human friend (who could easily prove his "human artifacts" are fakes), and later freaks out while being dragged to detention along with Gus. He then tries to claim that he knows what to do in detention, and promptly gets podded for his trouble.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: In "Through the Looking-Glass Ruins", his time being at the bottom of the pecking order at Glandus seems to have humbled him somewhat, and he helps out Gus and offers to fix up the Looking-Glass ruins for the old care-taker.
  • Unusual Euphemism: When a (fake) Graye announced, that multi-track studies would be stopped at the emperor's orders, Math ripped off his sleeves and yelled "Mother Titan!", which is almost certainly a euphemism for "Motherfucker!".
  • Unwitting Pawn: Bria played him for a fool, and neglected to mention to him that the stones they were trying get were in a graveyard.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Gus seem to be something approaching friends after the events of "Through the Looking-Glass Ruins".
  • The World's Expert (on Getting Killed): He insists he's the expert on being in detention and can help Gus and Luz survive. He's podded up seconds later.

    Viney 

Viney

"Now I'm only scarred emotionally."

"Mixing Healing and Beast Keeping was slightly unconventional. But Puddles was a great assistant dang it!"

A rebellious girl who wants to study more than one track, mainly Healing and Beast Keeping, naturally this gets her in trouble. Viney is noticeably more muscular than other students at Hexside and tends to come across as brash and assertive. She's friends with Jerbo and Barcus, like-minded students who were caught mixing different schools of magic and placed in the detention track.


  • Ambiguously Gay: While nothing Viney does in the show makes any statement about her orientation, official art from Dana Terrace has her wearing a shirt with lines that resemble the lesbian pride flag, possibly hinting at her orientation.
  • Animal Lover: She mixed Healing with Beast Keeping magic, trained a griffin named Puddles to act as her assistant, and her ultimate goal is to be a veterinarian.
  • Barrier Warrior: Demonstrates a shield spell in the shape of the Healing Coven's sigil, likely a part of the Healing track.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Her uniform was grey, due to her being in the detention track. When Principal Bump allows her to study two kinds of magic at once, her uniform changes to reflect this, with each being half one track color, and half another.
  • Fluffy Tamer: She trained a griffin named Puddles to act as her assistant healer. Viney claims she was great in the role, though she's not above mauling people if they step on her tail.
    Viney: (holding back an enraged Puddles) Look, Puddles! It's the friend you made before! No, no, do not claw mommy's face!
  • A Friend in Need: In "Labyrinth Runners", she and Skara insist on rescuing Hunter from the coven scouts due to their time together on the Flyer Derby team, even if Bump would have preferred to just let him get captured.
  • Healing Hands: Healing magic is one of her biggest strengths, to the point of being called the "best healer in Hexside".
  • Improbable Age: In the Distant Finale, she is shown helping Alador work on a way to remove coven sigils once and for all, despite being no older than her twenties.
  • Magic Staff: In "Hunting Palismen", Viney gains a manticore palisman which turns into a staff.
  • The Medic: In "The First Day" and "Hunting Palisman" it's shown her ultimate goal in life is to be a veterinarian. In the episode "Any Sport in a Storm" Willow describes her as "the best healer in school," when showing off the Emerald Entrails strengths. During the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, she, along with Emira and several other healers, combine their powers with Alador's technology to help remove the coven sigils from people.
  • Non-Uniform Uniform: Viney's uniform is much more tattered compared to the other students at Hexside, including her two (former detention) friends. It's implied this is because her animal patients tend to act up a lot, as we see the griffin she cares for is rather violent when upset, even with her.
  • Red Mage: She prefers mixing two schools of magic, using healing magic and has a griffin companion, which technically counts as beast keeping magic.
  • Spikes of Villainy: Subverted. Her hair tie, earring, and cowl clasp all have a spike theme, but she is quickly revealed a friendly girl like the rest of the Troublemakers.
  • Stout Strength: Viney is noticeably stouter than most other Hexside students and has been shown physically restraining her griffin Puddles, who is at least twice her size if not bigger.
  • This Is Unforgivable!: In "Any Sport in a Storm", she treats Jerbo being a member of Professor Hermonculus' Flyer Derby team as a major betrayal, to the point of deciding she needs to find a new best friend. They appear to be on good terms by the next time they appear though, so she was likely overexaggerating.
  • Tuckerization: Viney is named after Rachel Vine, one of the show's writers.

    Jerbo 

Jerbo

Voiced by: Noah Galvin

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jerbo.png
"I mean, do I wanna study different kinds of magic? Heck yes! But why is joining the Emperor's Coven my only option? When I get older, I'm gonna give this system a long-overdue update."

"I tried mixing plant magic with abominations. Bump was not thrilled."

A lanky boy formerly on the plant track. Jerbo was sent to the detention track after he mixed abomination magic with plant magic, there he met Viney and Barcus and the three became friends as a result.


  • Category Traitor: In the episode "Any Sport in a Storm" he joins Professor Hermunculus' Flying Derby team thinking it's just going to be some fun competition, he is visibly distraught when he realizes Viney is on the other team, who makes it very clear that she considers him a traitor now. By "Labyrinth Runners," she appears to have forgiven him for this, at least enough to be on speaking terms.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Because he was on the detention track, his clothing was gray. When Principal Bump agrees to let him study two types of magic at the same time, his uniform changes to reflect this, with each track color being half one and half the other.
  • Geek Physiques: Downplayed. Jerbo is noticeably gangly compared to most other Hexside students, and has shown enough "geekiness" to study two magic tracks and desire an administrative job when he grows up.
  • Hidden Depths: In "Any Sport in a Storm", he expresses a desire to pursue an administrative job as an adult, saying he wants to overhaul the coven system to allow for more interdisiplinary covens beyond the Emperor's Coven. "For the Future" shows that he actually has a talent for it, as he and Matt have been spending the past several months coming up with ways to improve life at Hexside while everyone is hiding from the Collector. In the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue he is one of the researchers helping to remove coven sigils from people.
  • Improbable Age: Four years after Belos' defeat, he is shown helping with an experiment to get rid of coven sigils and is somewhere between his late teens and early twenties.
  • Magic Staff: While he was among the students during the palisman adoption day in "Hunting Palismen" we didn't get to see him choose one. It's not until "Any Sport in a Storm" that we see he has a horned dachshund as a palisman.
  • Number Two: Serves as this to Matt during the Collector's reign. He helps Matt in devising ways to improve the living conditions of Hexside and personally presents them to Boscha, even if they are turned down. Matt himself states Jerbo by name when explaining the situation to the newly-arrived Hexsquad.
  • Red Mage: Jerbo combines two schools of magic instead of only learning one, mixing plants and abominations to create organic monstrosities. He also seems the most passionate about multi-track magic, planning to revamp the coven system so that people don't have to join the Emperor's Coven to use more than one type of magic.
  • Take a Third Option: In "Any Sport In A Storm", he expresses a dislike of the idea of having to join the Emperor's Coven to study multiple kinds of magic, so when he gets older he plans to revamp the coven system to create more multi-track covens.
  • Translator Buddy: He serves as Barcus' since he can only speak in barks.

    Barcus 

Barcus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barcus_render.png
"You have an aura of lies."

A dog-like demon who was sent to the detention track after mixing potions and oracle magic, becoming friends with Viney and Jerbo in the process. He can only speak in barks.


  • Ambiguous Situation: While clearly a demon, Barcus's classification is somewhat murky. He is clearly intelligent and capable of magic, but his stature and seeming inability to speak like other biped demons seems to imply he is a beast type. Further, he has not been shown on screen using spell circles - instead relying on potions, scrying materials, and the passive ability to see auras - which might suggest he has no bile sac.
  • Aura Vision: Barcus can apparently see people's auras.
  • Badass Adorable: Barcus is a cute dog witch with Nerd Glasses who is shown to be rather competent in potions and oracle magic.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: His clothes were drab colors since he was on the detention track. When Principal Bump agrees to let him study two sorts of magic at the same time, he alters his uniform to reflect this, with each track color being half of one and half of the other.
  • Improbable Age: The epilogue shows him now working as a teacher at Hexside even though he couldn't be any older than twenty-two.
  • Intelligible Unintelligible: Barcus speaks exclusively in barks but Viney and Jerbo are able to understand him. In his appearance in "Labyrinth Runners" subtitles translate his dialogue for the audience.
  • Punny Name: His name is a play on words of the real name "Marcus", and "bark", the sound a dog makes.
  • Red Mage: Rather than use one magic type from a single track, Barcus mixes two of them - using potions to enhance his oracle magic.

    Boscha 

Boscha

"Ew. A talking house is giving me a lecture? Whatever. I'll just TP you like I did with the rest of the neighborhood."
Click here to see her in the epilogue
"You are talented. You are a star. You may be hated, so long as you are feared. Most important of all, you are a winner."

A potions student at Hexside who is part of Amity Blight's Girl Posse and captain of the Hexside Banshees. Following Amity's Character Development, she takes over as the group's leader.


  • The Ace: She is a very gifted Grudgby player, captain of the Banshees, has a whole room with trophies and is extremely popular on the Boiling Isles. However it is implied that she is a Broken Ace.
  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: In Season 3, she begs Amity to come back and hang out with her, and be a team again, claiming she misses her.
  • Alpha Bitch: Graduates from Beta Bitch when Amity joins Luz's group.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: You thought Amity was bad as the leader of the posse? Boscha completely blows her out the water, especially when it comes to cruelty.
  • Ambiguously Bi: When she asks Amity if she saw a ghost, Boscha uses Gender-Inclusive Writing (due to not being able to know what said ghost would look like) and also asks Amity if they're cute. In season 3, her begging Amity to come back has all the hallmarks of someone trying to get back together with their ex, giving the impression that Boscha might have been in love with Amity.
  • Ambiguously Human: Or Witch Humanoid in this case. Witches of the Boiling Isles are either humanoid (look like humans, but with pointy ears) or Biped Demon. The latter typically have monstrous looking heads, but have two arms and two legs. Boscha has a third eye, but is otherwise human looking in head and body, implying she could be the former, but genetically deviant.
  • Ambiguously Related: "Them's The Breaks, Kid" features a pair of Potion Track students who look like Boscha split apart; one of them sporting her facial features and third eye, while the other shares her eye and hair color. However, we don't know if one or even both of them happen to be her mothers.
  • Ambition Is Evil: Subverted. In "For the Future", she certainly seems ambitious, having turned Hexside into practically a monarchy with herself on top, but she isn't actually interested in administration and is being pushed by Kikimora, who also encourages her more selfish decisions for her own benefit, and she seems to be struggling under the burdens of leadership. By the end of the episode, she has willingly stepped down.
  • And Call Him "George": Even she's struck by King's Cuteness Proximity, to the point she tries to buy him for herself.
  • Animal-Eared Headband: A variation. In "For the Future", she's shown wearing a headband with crab claws (modeled after her palisman) that give off a similar visual to cat ears or horns.
  • Animal Stereotypes: She gets a crab-like palisman named Maya that reflects her tough outer shell and fiercely competitive nature.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Willow. When she starts becoming popular in Hexside (in part thanks to Amity protecting her), Boscha relentlessly harasses her and expresses interest in making her target practice for Grudgby.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Boscha is quite the arrogant little witch, even if she has the skills to back it up.
  • Attention Whore: If there's one thing Boscha loves above putting down those she see as beneath her, it's being showered by everyone's praise and admiration. She gets pissed if she doesn't get her fix.
  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: She's significantly more affected by Cat and Amelia being turned into puppets by the Collector than she's willing to admit, as she angrily tries to change the subject when "Miki" brings it up. She also admits that she misses Amity, and outright begs her to come back.
  • Ax-Crazy: Takes a disturbing amount of sadistic delight in using Luz as target practice, clearly doing moves that will outright kill her.
  • Barbaric Bully: In "Wing It Like Witches", she took great pleasure in the idea of using Willow as "target practice" to hit with her blazing Grudgby balls. She appears to have gotten better by the time of "Any Sport in a Storm", as her bullying of Luz there takes the form of lighthearted riffing of Luz' favorite book, which Luz even agrees she has a point on.
  • Berserk Button:
    • Boscha REALLY hates it when someone is getting more attention than she is.
    • People disrespecting or laughing at her are in for a very hard time.
  • Beta Bitch: Played With. While she did follow Amity, the latter was blackmailed into being in their girl posse. Is finally upgraded to full Alpha Bitch after Amity leaves the girl posse. In "For the Future," she begs Amity to come back to her circle, seemingly because she genuinely misses her rather than wanting power. While Amity is not up for that role anymore, the two of them seem to have made amends before Boscha leads the students to attack Kikimora.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: In "For the Future", Boscha (with some help from Kikimora) has taken over Hexside with the intention of starting her own reign—but it soon becomes apparent that it's not what she really wants and Amity ends up talking her out of it. Suffice it to say, she was played for a fool.
  • Broken Ace: It was implied in "Wing It Like Witches" that she has low self esteem and a needs validation from others. "For the Future" cements this as its reveals she never got past Amity ditching her for her new friends and desperately begs her to return to their group so that Boscha can return to being Amity's Beta Bitch, as she both misses her friend and can't handle the pressures of being the leader the way Amity did.
  • Broken Pedestal: She has developed this toward Amity by "Wing It Like Witches". After Amity delivers a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to her in front of their classmates, she coldly remarks that Amity has "gone soft". And when Amity joins Luz and Willow's team against Boscha's, she spitefully claims that Amity has just "ruined" her social life.
  • The Captain: Of Hexside's Grudgby team after Amity resigned.
  • The Chains of Commanding: In "For the Future", Boscha talks to Willow about the difficulties of being a leader, having to set aside their own issues and always act strong for the team. While she was mostly distracting Willow, there is no indication that her words weren't genuine when she later begs Amity to come back to Boscha's circle to go back to being their leader instead of Boscha.
  • Childhood Friends: Subverted with Amity and Skara, as they've known each other since childhood. However, it's unlikely that Boscha truly likes either one, as she's shown to be controlling towards her friends and Amity was forced to interact with her (and Skara) by her parents. "For the Future" does imply that while she is a jerk about it on some level she did consider herself and Amity genuine friends.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: She wears the yellow uniform of the Potions track.
  • Control Freak: She likes to be in charge of her friend group, and is enraged when King in Luz's body temporarily usurps control away from her.
  • Cool People Rebel Against Authority: She and her gang like to partake in rebellious activities outside of school, but her idea of rebelling is outright harmful beyond regular troublemaking, such as throwing water balloons that produce tentacle monsters from puddles.
  • Costume Evolution: In "For the Future", Boscha has much longer hair tied in a low, messy ponytail, wears a mix of her school clothes and grudgby uniform, and has a headband with crab claws evocative of her palisman.
  • Deadpan Snarker: When she's not being a bully, she tends to go for calm snark. In response to Luz defending the writing of the Azura novels, Boscha simply opens one and reads a sample of the rather "ornate" prose.
  • Delinquent: Boscha is notorious for frequently committing violent crime. Even Principal Bump notes she's definitely the kind of person who could commit murder and get away with it.
  • Demoted to Extra: She was a recurring character in season 1 (even the antagonist in few of them). In season 2, she's practically a background character with a few lines. The second special of season 3 brings her back as a major character.
  • Depending on the Artist: Boscha's eyes are gray in the show itself, but promo art and sketches by crewmembers give her gray, blue, pink and lavender eyes.
  • Dragon Ascendant: After Amity officially left the Girl Posse, Boscha is now in charge.
  • Dragon-in-Chief: More like Beta Bitch-in-Chief, because it’s revealed that, despite being Amity’s follower, she has a much nastier personality and Amity has to be blackmailed into being her friend. Amity has to very much keep her on a string so that she doesn’t do anything horrible, but Grudgby Season is the only time of year Amity can’t deter her. Unfortunately for her, she was on the other end of this trope with Kikimora, who not only enforced her rule in the most ruthless way possible, but also intended to double cross her.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: She makes a brief appearance in class during "I Was a Teenage Abomination".
  • Everyone Has Standards: While she may be a cruel bully, she's just as horrified as the rest of the students when Graye tries to force an Abomination coven sigil on Gus to rob him of his ability to cast illusions.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She can't understand why anybody would like Willow or Luz, or how Luz even managed to enroll in Hexside, and bullies them in response.
  • Extra Eyes: She has a third eye on her forehead.
  • Fiery Redhead: Her hair's more pink than red, but everything else checks out, especially during Grudgby season.
  • Foil:
    • To Amity. While Amity was initially obsessed with her status and challenging her competition, she ultimately is not cruel at heart but only became "cruel" because she did not want to show "weakness," even if she regrets it and is aware of how much it hurts others. Boscha, however, is implied to have always been a cruel bully even when she was younger. She is a self-absorbed sociopath who is obsessed with her social status to the point that she enjoys bullying students weaker than her, with little to no concern for them. Boscha is essentially what Amity might've become if she hadn't met Luz and helped her reevaluate her old life and reconnect with Willow.
    • To Willow, after she became popular among the other Hexside students. Willow is a Nice Girl who wins over everyone with her kindness and compassion, while Boscha is a bully who uses fear and intimidation to maintain her position in the school's hierarchy. They have similar, but very different 'pep-up' scenes at the start of their respective sports episodes (Boscha for Grudgby and Willow for Flyer Derby) and while Willow definately has two dads, it's implied Boscha has two moms.
  • Good Counterpart: In "For the Future", she becomes one to Philip Wittebane, specifically in his hero-worship of Caleb. Both characters demonstrate an unhealthy attachment towards their chosen idol/ally, brought about by a massive shift in their status quo and a partial desire to 'return to normal' by keeping them by their side. They disregard their own wishes and are willing to even fight them to prevent them 'leaving them' again, covering up a deep loneliness and insecurity underneath. The difference is that Boscha was able to accept that Amity is not the person she wants her to be and moves on after Amity talks to her about it, while Philip rejected the reality of who Caleb truly was, to the extent of murdering him, and then tried to remake him into his 'better version' of his brother in his idealised image.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: She ramps up her bullying of Willow in "Wing it Like Witches" out of jealousy for her stealing away everyone's attention at the start of Grudgby season. The fact that Amity (who she's implied later in the series to have a crush on) is starting to drift back towards Willow at the same time probably doesn't help.
  • Hates Being Alone: Goes hand in hand with her being an Attention Whore. By the time of "For the Future", all of her friends have either cut ties with her (Amity and Skara) or been captured by the Collector (Cat and Amelia). As such, she's desperate to have Amity back and goes to extreme lengths to keep her from leaving.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Implied. The ending of "For the Future" hints that she and Amity have managed to come to an understanding with one another, and she helps lead the rest of Hexside's survivors in covering the Hexsquad's escape from Kikimora. Her exact morality after this point isn't stated, though she is shown attending Luz's surprise party in the epilogue.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • The opening to "Wing it like Witches" focuses on her, mainly to show how self-absorbed she is and how popular she is because of her talent in Grugby. However, it also shows that she starts her day with a peptalk in the mirror, something usually reserved for characters with self-esteem issues. Combined with how hostile she gets toward Willow for accidentally stealing her thunder, and how terrified she looks when her Girl Posse wants to hang out with Willow, it's implied she suffers from an Inferiority Superiority Complex.
    • In "Hunting Palismen", Boscha instantly warms up to her new palisman (to the point that she's actually blushing over it) despite complaining about having to pick one secondhand just moments earlier, displaying a softer side not seen in the bully before.
    • Her voice actor, Eden Riegel, states that Boscha has low self-esteem, a need for external validation, and a feeling of otherness that makes her a bully because it's the only way she can feel like she belongs.
    • In "For the Future", she privately talks to Willow about the burdens of leadership, how she feels a leader always has to be strong and not show weakness for the sake of their team. While it was a ploy to distract Willow, she later begs Amity to return to their group and re-take her place as the schools Alpha Bitch so she can return to being her Beta Bitch, implying she can't handle the burdens of leadership herself. Goes to show Boscha processes her emotions very differently.
  • Hoist by Her Own Petard: Her attempt to take out Luz with a flaming Grudgby ball just results in Luz discovering the fire glyph, which she immediately throws right back at her.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: You'd think that, after feeling betrayed by Amity she'd be more careful of potential allies, but no, she ends up being too trusting of others, immediately trusting Kikimora, who posed as her advisor to forge her own empire and double-cross her.
  • Humans Through Alien Eyes: In "Once Upon a Swap", she believes that humans can spit venom.
  • Hypocritical Heartwarming: In "Hunting Palismen", she objects to adopting a Palisman rather than fashioning one out of palistrum wood. She quickly changes her mind when a crab-like Palisman becomes endeared to her competitive spirit that she's also blushing for it and is onboard the idea in full.
  • Inferiority Superiority Complex: For all her bullying behavior she's revealed to have a lot of her self-worth tied into her grudgby skills in "Wing it Like Witches". The threat that she could lose her position as captain is the only time Boscha has ever shown to actually be afraid, showing just how much the position means to her.
  • It Meant Something to Me: A platonic version (Probably). While Amity viewed their friendship as just something her parents forced her into, and didn't actually like Boscha at first, Boscha for her part is shown to be genuienly angered by the fact that Amity started hanging out with Luz and Willow. "For the Future" shows that she viewed her and Amity's friendship as real, and even begged her to come back.
  • Jerkass: Even Amity, before her Character Development set in, has nothing on her. Whereas Amity is capable of some self-reflection and empathy, Boscha is a Social Darwinist who loves hurting people.
  • Jerkass Has a Point:
    • While she was just prodding Luz as normal, she does ask if she can even perform magic in the human realm when the palisman reject her, which we already know she can't.
    • In "Any Sport in a Storm", when Boscha criticizes the "ornate" writing in the Good Witch Azura books (and dramatically reads it out to prove her point), Luz concedes that she isn't wrong. The fact that Boscha was willing to humor Luz like that shows she's capable of providing intellectual criticism.
  • Jerk Jock: She gets away with her bullying because she's the captain of the grudgby team.
  • The Killjoy: Boscha just ruins the moment while she can, to the point of ruining the hype for Skara's party:
    Skara: You only turn 15 once!
    Boscha: You only turn every age once, Skara.
  • Lack of Empathy: If anyone gets hurt because of her pranks, oh well.
  • Liminal Being:
    • Boscha acts like she both is and isn't a part of the elite upper class, even though she comes from a family of one. On one hand, she likes being in control and looking down on whom she considers "losers" but on the other hand, she's a rebellious trouble maker who is an adrenaline junkie.
    • In terms of personal opinion, she's also quite the paradox: in that people seem to hate her because of her bullying and cruel attitude, and yet they also adore her because of her Grudgby skills and talent at magic.
  • Magic Staff: In "Hunting Palismen", she gains a crab palisman named Maya which turns into a staff.
  • Meaningless Villain Victory: In "Wing It Like Witches", Boscha catches the Rusty Smidge that wins the grudgby match for her team. By doing so, Boscha's team wins the bet with Luz's team, which will let Boscha bully Willow and her friends even more. However, Boscha's friends come to like Luz and Willow, and Boscha sees she'll probably lose her spot as team captain if she continues to abuse them. Boscha has an arrogant attitude, but puts a lot of her self-worth on her grudgby skills, especially being team captain. So while Boscha can cash in on the bet, it would be in her best interest not to.
  • Mirror Character: Of all people, Boscha becomes one to The Collector in "For the Future", albeit on a smaller scale. Like the Collector, Boscha is a scared and vulnerable child who doesn't want to be alone, Boscha having lost all of her friends over the past few months and the Collector having spent millenia in an empty dimension. Both have been given more power than is probably good for them, Boscha as the leader of the Hexside survivors, a position she is not really interested in, and the Collector with their godlike power, and that power and loneliness leaves them vulnerable to being manipulated by Belos and Kikimora respectively, adults who pretend to care for them but only want to use them for selfish ends. Even Boscha wanting to reconnect with Amity despite her disinterest, both because she's lonely and to regain some sense of normalcy from her past, could be read as a parallel to the Collector treating King as his best friend, a sentiment King does not reciprocate, both because the Collector is sick of being alone and because they "always wanted to play with" King before their imprisonment.
  • Named After Someone Famous: Like Principal Bump, her name is derived from Hieronymous Bosch, whose surreal paintings of Hell informs much of the asethetic of the Boiling Isles.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: If she can be considered a villain, since she's more of a minor antagonist. Without her, though, Luz would have never discovered the fire glyph, which is her most powerful offensive spell, not to mention a component of several glyph combos.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Exaggerated Trope. Boscha is the Mean to Skara's Nice and Amity's In-Between, because she's a bully who takes full advantage of the fact she could get away with murder.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: She isn’t like your average school bully. She’s a fervent Social Darwinist who could potentially get away with murder, and is one of the main obstacles for the heroes to overcome in the second-to-last episode of the show.
  • Passionate Sports Girl: She places a lot of her self worth on her Grudgby skills, and even mentions on palisman adoption day that she dreams of playing professionally after graduation.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • Even a tough girl like her has a weakness for cute-looking critters.
    • While she initially resents having to pick a palisman secondhand instead making her own, when she actually bonds with one, she instantly adores it and even blushes.
  • Playing with Fire: Her signature grudgby move is lighting the ball on fire, and doing so is responsible for Luz learning her own fire spell. Of course, given how she acts, she’s also a Pyromaniac.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Since she doesn't want to jeopardize her position as captain of the Banshees she makes no more attempts to bully Willow and her friends after "Wing it like Witches".
  • Pyromaniac: Likes to use fire Grudgby, especially when using it against the opposing teams or target practice.
  • Replacement Flat Character: As Amity got more development, Boscha became more prominent and antagonistic while demonstrating none of Amity's sympathetic qualities.
  • Sadist: Oh boy, does Boscha adore to twist the knife whenever she can, especially because she sees everyone as beneath her.
  • Shipping Torpedo: Downplayed, she is not actively trying to sabotage their relationship and she doesn't have much of a grudge against Luz and Amity for being a couple (beyond her preexisting vendetta against them), she angrily shouts that they aren't cute when they act affectionate to each other around her and completely ignore her. If anything, this half-assed remark only shows that she's run out of nasty things to say to them.
  • Smarter Than You Look: There are indications that Boscha is far more intelligent than one would expect from a brutish bully. In "Any Sport In A Storm", she does go out of her way to provide well-thought out criticisms of the style of Good Witch Azura, and indulges Luz to prove she's not simply heckling her, showing she's rather literature-saavy.
  • Social Darwinist: This is the Boiling Isles after all, and she like most inhabitants follows the mentality that only the strong make the rules. Boscha believes this to a fault and acts like a bully to everyone (even her own mother) under the belief that this makes her strong and untouchable.
  • Still Wearing the Old Colors: Downplayed. She's shown wearing her letterman jacket as part of her outfit in the Distant Finale. She would have graduated only recently, however, so it's not unsurprising that she would still be wearing it.
  • Tall Poppy Syndrome: Implied. As "For the Future" shows, unlike most of the cast, Boscha never grew in any real way. This causes her to beg Amity to come back and return to being the Alpha Bitch to Boscha's Beta Bitch if only so she doesn't have to be in charge any more or face responsibility for others. Amity refusing to do so is what causes Boshca to become violent and try attacking her.
  • Tears of Joy: When Principal Bump returns to Hexside with Cat and Amelia following the Collector freeing everyone from his puppet spell, she immediately shoves the other students out of the way before tearfully pulling her rescued friends into a hug.
  • Teens Are Monsters: A high school student with a sadistic streak.
  • Token Evil Teammate: While every member of her Girl Posse has unsympathetic moments, she can be especially ruthless.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: She appears to be this to her friends as some of them, particularly Skara, are nice people, but when they're around her they do what she says and act mean like her. After Amity cuts ties with her, Amity starts to become a nice person again. Then again, it's implied her being mean is what Amity's parents believe makes Boscha a better influence than Willow.
  • Tyrant Takes the Helm: Subverted when she ends up taking control of Hexside following all the teachers being captured by the Collector. While she's still very much her usual Alpha Bitch self (in part due to Kikimora's manipulations), the narrative presents her as a young girl who's hopelessly out of her depth and just wants things to go back to normal.
  • Villain Forgot to Level Grind: The heroes have gotten wiser, more mature, and more dangerous bad guys have shown up, while Boscha ends up being the same bully she was by the time of Season 3 and more or less uses the same old tricks and tactics. It's not just that she hasn't gone through the grinder, but she lost the motivation to do so. During their brief fight, it's quite clear to Amity that her unwillingness to grow and adapt has only made her so predictable that Amity doesn't even need to fight her to win.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: She's seen in the background of "Labyrinth Runners", but disappears after Gus casts his illusion, and is absent the rest of the episode. She is not seen for the rest of Season 2 and doesn't return until "For the Future," where she becomes an obstacle (along Kikimora) for the Hexsquad.

    Skara 

Skara

Click here to see her in the epilogue

"Friendship is the real magic."

A bard student at Hexside who is part of Amity Blight's and later Boscha's Girl Posse.


  • Affably Evil: Even though she's Boscha's lapdog, and was probably mean at some point, she's rather friendly and polite.
  • Ambiguously Bi: During "Enchanting Grom Fright" she has a boyfriend and the two were even about to kiss until their excitement for Grom distracted them. Afterwards though the two are never seen together again, while in "Any Sport in a Storm" shows that her and Viney are very close.
  • Ascended Extra: She gets more prominence in Season 2 and develops into her own character outside of being Boscha's lapdog.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She's usually sweet and friendly, but in "Any Sport in a Storm" she punches Steve hard enough to leave a dent in his metal mask.
  • Childhood Friends: Subverted with Boscha and Amity, as they've known each other since childhood but their friendship isn't one at all, especially since Amity was forced to be friends with her and Boscha because of her parents.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: She wears the red uniform of the Bard Coven.
  • Daddy's Girl: While he's only ever mentioned once, she's implied to be very close to her father given how she states that he spared no expense for her fifteenth birthday party. She also burst into tears in "Any Sport in a Storm" when told by Hunter that she and the other Emerald Entrails would be taken away from their friends and family forever.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Downplayed, but she finally gets a bit of focus in "Any Sport in a Storm".
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Like Boscha, she is briefly seen amongst the other Hexside students in "I Was a Teenage Abomination".
  • Everyone Has Standards: She gave King!Luz an out from a dangerous race against Boscha, citing how fragile humans are. She also looked pretty concerned when Boscha tried to outright kill Luz.
  • Foil: She seems rather similar to Luz in how excitable, nice, and sometimes Innocently Insensitive she is. Their main differences are social status and that Skara is under Toxic Friend Influence.
  • Familiar: Like many of the Hexside students in season 2, Skara has recieved a palisman of her own, revealed in "Any Sport in a Storm" to be a cricket.
  • A Friend in Need: In "Labyrinth Runners", she and Viney insist on rescuing Hunter from the coven scouts due to their time together on the Flyer Derby team, even if Bump would have preferred to just let him get captured.
  • Friendly Enemy: Nominally, she and Willow are enemies due to her being one of Boscha's friends, but Skara greatly respects Willow to point of enthusiastically joining Willow's flyer derby team.
  • Genki Girl: She is more energetic and excitable than Amity or Boscha.
  • Harp of Femininity: Despite being a more sporty type of person, Skara is in the Bard track and uses a lyre as her instrument of choice.
  • Heel–Face Turn: While she was never really a bad person towards Willow, it appears she defected from Boscha to Mattholomule's faction.
  • Hidden Depths: "Any Sport in a Storm" reveals she has a gift for strategy.
  • Improbable Age: She's become a teacher at Hexside by the time of the epilogue even though she's still in her late teens.
  • Informed Flaw: Amity states during a memory in "Understanding Willow", that she and Boscha are mean, but we don't see her actively mean when she's not around Boscha. Even if she was as a child, she's likely mellowed out of it by now. At worst, she's a Spoiled Brat.
  • Innocent Beta Bitch: She is submissive to Boscha and seems to mainly just go along with what she is doing. If Boscha isn't around, she's a lot friendlier. She seems to have ended their friendship by the time of "For the Future", defecting to Mattholomule's faction.
  • Innocently Insensitive:
    • In "Once Upon a Swap," she tells King-as-Luz that it's okay if "she" doesn't want to race against Boscha, since it's highly dangerous and everyone understands that humans are "super-fragile." King takes this as Condescending Compassion and rebuffs her, but Skara seems genuine about not wanting anyone to get hurt (and she's correct that a human with no magic simply isn't equipped to handle the race the way a witch can).
    • In "Understanding Willow", after Boscha does a mocking impression of Willow, Skara asks Amity about Willow and Amity's past, causing Amity to get frosty, but she seems to have honestly just been curious and unaware of how sensitive a topic it is for Amity.
  • Interspecies Romance: At least strongly implied. Skara joyfully attends Grom with a bat-like biped demon who gave her an elaborate Grom-posal, even almost sharing the series' first on-screen kiss before they are distracted by the Grom event starting.
  • Lovable Jock: Skara is, for the most part, shown to be friendly to just about everyone when Boscha's Toxic Friend Influence isn't at play. She doesn't even have a problem following Willow as captain of their Flyer Derby team despite her normally being Boscha's favorite bullying target. Of course, Boscha doesn't have to know about that…
  • Magic Staff: While she was among the students during the palisman adoption day in "Hunting Palismen" we didn't get to see her choose one. It's not until "Any Sport in a Storm" that we see she has what looks to be a cricket as a palisman.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Among the Girl Posse she's a part of, she's the Nice to Boscha's Mean and Amity's In-Between.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: In "Enchanting Grom Fright", she happily accepts a kid's gesture to ask her to Grom, which included being carried on a stretcher by two paramedics and presenting a replica of a beating heart with "Grom" written all over it. When Luz is later fighting Grom, who, if he wins, will make everyone on the Boiling Isle experience their worst nightmares, Skara and her date are seen cheering on Grom.
  • Passionate Sports Girl: While not to Boscha's extent, Skara is into sports and notably is on both the school's Grudgby and Flyer Derby teams.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • During the duel between Luz and Amity in "Covention", she looks shocked and worried when King falls from the audience stand down into the arena.
    • When Boscha challenges King-in-Luz's-body to a potentially dangerous ratworm race, Skara assures him/her that they understand how fragile humans are, though King rebuffs her sympathy. Though it could have been a case of Condescending Compassion.
    • In "Enchanting Grom Fight," she's among the kids who hoist up Amity and Luz after they defeat Grom.
    • In "Wing It Like Witches", she's one of the students who end up congratulating Willow for a good game at the end of the episode.
    • In "Young Blood, Old Souls", she's part of the crowd calling for Eda's freedom.
    • In "Labryinth Runners" Bump reveals that while he and most of the school are suspicious of Hunter, Skara and Viney convinced him to rescue Hunter from the Emperor's Scouts.
  • Quirky Girl, Quirky Tux: Wears one during her date at Grom.
  • Shock and Awe: She electrifies her staff and uses it to whack coven scouts during the fight to save Hexside in "Labyrinth Runners".
  • Spoiled Brat: Comes from an upper-class family and demands that her father spare no expense, including catching and enchanting actual butterflies to make the invitations for her 15th birthday party. Would be Spoiled Sweet if not for Boscha's Toxic Friend Influence.
  • Stronger Than You Look: She's 15 years old and was able to punch Steve so hard, she left a dent in his metal mask.
  • Token Good Teammate: She's even nicer than Amity after the latter's Heel–Face Turn, as part of Boscha's Girl Posse. While Amity in a flashback describes her as "mean," we mainly see Skara being polite and gracious to others if Innocently Insensitive about other students' wealth. When handing out invitations for her birthday party, she sincerely tells Amity and Boscha that they're her best girl friends.
  • Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: Boscha is a fervent Social Darwinist who can be cruel and abusive. Skara however, has shown herself to be goofy at times, if not over-the-top.

    Amelia 

Amelia

Voiced by: Eden Riegel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amelia_5.png

A student of the Plant track, who sometimes hangs out with Boscha.


  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Wears the green uniform of the Plant track.
  • Diving Save: She pushes Boscha out of the line of fire of one of the Collector's spies during the initial defense of Hexside, only to get turned into a puppet herself the second she gets back on her feet.
  • Elemental Hair Colors: She's a plant witch with leafy green hair.
  • Everyone Has Standards: She was clearly concerned when Boscha used Luz as target practice.
  • Green Thumb: Is currently studying in the Plant track.
  • Shout-Out: Her overall appearance resembles Saria from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
  • Those Two Girls: Whenever you see Amelia, you'll find her with Cat.
  • Tuckerization: Is based on Amelia Lorenz, a director and storyboard artist for the show.
  • Vocal Evolution: When Amelia first spoke in "Once Upon a Swap", her voice was high-pitched. When she's heard again in "Senses and Insensitivity", she sounds just like Boscha which makes sense since they share the same voice actress. "Wing It Like Witches" makes her more distinct by giving her a bit of a rasp.

    Cat 

Cat

Voiced by: Grey Griffin

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cat_profile.png

Another Hexside student who's part of Amity's, and then Boscha's, posse.


  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Wears the dark blue uniform of the Healing track.
  • Curtains Match the Windows: Brown hair, Brown eyes.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Like Amelia and Skara, Boscha throwing fireballs at a defenseless Luz didn't sit well with her.
  • Healing Hands: She's on the Healing track.
  • Interspecies Romance: Implied. She attended Grom with the spike-headed boy from the Abomination track, though it isn't made clear if they're dating.
  • Taking the Bullet: In the flashback in "For the Future", we see that she pushed Boscha out of the way of a blast by one of the Collector's stars, only to get hit herself.
  • Those Two Girls: Expect to see her hanging out with Amelia at least once in each of her appearances.
  • Tuckerization: Is based on Cat Harman-Mitchell, a storyboard artist for the show.

Baby Class

    Braxas 

Braxas

Voiced by: Kevin Locarro

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/braxas.png
Click here to see him in the epilogue

A young child who is a member of the baby class.


  • Connected All Along: "Through the Looking Glass Ruins" reveals that he's actually Warden Wrath's son.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: In spite of his deep voice, scary appearance, and his father being a recurring villain, Braxas is always shown to be an excitable kind kid.
  • Even Evil Can Be Loved: His father is the malevolent Warden Wrath, who seems to genuinely care for his son's safety. Braxas returns those feelings, as in "For The Future" he's seen playing with toys while imagining himself rescuing his father who has been turned into one of the Collector's puppets.
  • Eyeless Face: His face is nothing but a gaping maw of sharp teeth.
  • Familiar: His brief appearance in the Distant Finale has him recieving what appears to be an axolotl palisman from Hunter.
  • Missing Mom: Implied. His father is shown trying to ask out Eda in the pilot, which would seem to suggest that his mother is out of the picture.
  • Our Demons Are Different: "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door" establishes that he's a bipedal demon.
  • Recurring Extra: While he does stand out as the only member of the baby class to be named, the closest he gets to actually being relevant to the plot is when he's on the recieving end of the Glandus trio's Rescue Introduction.
  • Red Mage: The uniform he's wearing during the Distant Finale reveals that he's a mixed track student studying both Healing and Beast Keeping.
  • Significant Wardrobe Shift: In Season 3, he goes from wearing Hexside's uniform to a costume based on his father's Warden uniform, including a little beaked mask, symbolizing his desire to rescue his father from the Collector.
  • Vocal Dissonance: Despite his young age, he has an incredibly deep voice. It's somehow even deeper than his father's.
