History Characters / TheOwlHouseTheHexsquad

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Willow's has been [[RaisedByDudes mostly surrounded by men]], as she has two dads and her closest friends in Hexsquad are [[LikeBrotherAndSister Gus]] and the gender non-conforming Luz, so naturally she would grow up with some masculine characteristics and it shows: she's ''extremely'' athletic, as she regularly works out and is [[PassionateSportsGirl into and great at sports]] such as grudgby and flying derby (the latter being her favorite), doesn't mind getting dirty, can be ''very'' aggressive (to the point of murderous intent) when [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry significantly angered]] and often has BoyishShortHair, such as in Season 1, the early parts of Season 2, [[spoiler: and in the epilogue]]. But on the girly side, her default personality is [[ShrinkingViolet demure]] and [[NiceGirl sweet]], she loves tending to plants, has worn feminine-styled clothes and accessories on some occasions, and grew her hair out long enough to be [[GirlishPigtails tied in braids]] for the second half of Season 2 and grew them longer in Season 3.

[[/labelnote]]

* DramaticIrony: Her presence is the cause of at least two examples of this, as both "Enchanting Grom Fright" and "Keeping Up A-fear-rances" had Luz dealing with the fear that her mom would either find out about her life in the Boiling Isles, or start to miss her now that she can no longer [[TrappedInAnotherWorld easily return home]]. All of this, only for the audience to be shown that the doppelganger had stepped in to ensure that this didn't come to pass.

* FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: She ends up founding Hexside's first flyer derby team in "Any Sport in a Storm", a sport that both of her father's played when they were her age. It's not specifically stated if they were her inspiration for doing so, but the fact that she looks at an old newspaper clipping of their team to psyche herself up heavily implies it.

* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:She and Hunter both give each other a pseudo-LoveConfession in "For the Future" and are shown to be rather physically affectionate in the DistantFinale, but it's not made clear if they're dating or not.]]

'''Willow:''' ''Don't listen to her.''

* WillTheyOrWontThey: She gets a lot of {{Ship Teas|e}}ing with Hunter, but the show never confirms their status as BetaCouple.

* TheOneGuy: He is the only boy in Luz's circle of friends at Hexside. [[spoiler:That is until Hunter joins the club.]]

* AllTheOtherReindeer: Before meeting Luz she used to be picked on and called "Half-a-witch Willow" thanks to her ineptitude at magic. It gets subverted after she's moved to the Plant Track, where she can let her [[GreenThumb true talents]] [[JustForPun blossom]], gaining respect from her classmates.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Similar to Amity with the Abomination coven/track, she's this to the Plant track/coven. Terra is a [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]] and AxCrazy WickedWitch who is more than happy to hurt innocent people, [[WouldHurtAChild especially children]]; Angmar has no problem [[GraveRobbing steal from graveyards for personal gain]]; and while Amelia is not [[HiddenHeartOfGold outright malicious]], she is still willing to remain friends with [[AlphaBitch Boscha]] of all people and do whatever she says. From what we've seen since her debut, Willow is one of the most powerful witches of her generation ''and'' is a sweet and kind-hearted NiceGirl.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Willow's has been [[RaisedByDudes mostly surrounded by men]], as she has two dads and her closest friends in Hexsquad are [[LikeBrotherAndSister Gus]] and the gender non-conforming Luz, so naturally she would grow up with some masculine characteristics and it shows: she's ''extremely'' athletic, as she regularly works out and is [[PassionateSportsGirl into and great at sports]] such as grudgby and flying derby (the latter being her favorite), doesn't mind getting dirty, can be ''very'' aggressive (to the point of murderous intent) when [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry significantly angered]] and often has BoyishShortHair, such as in Season 1, the early parts of Season 2,[[spoiler: and the epilogue]]. But on the girly side, her default personality is [[ShrinkingViolet demure]] and [[NiceGirl sweet]], she loves tending to plants, has worn feminine-styled clothes and accessories on some occasions, and grew her hair out long enough to be [[GirlishPigtails tied in braids]] for the second half of Season 2 and grew them longer in Season 3.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Willow's has been [[RaisedByDudes mostly surrounded by men]], as she has two dads and her OnlyFriend friend was [[LikeBrotherAndSister Gus]], so naturally she would grow up with some masculine characteristics and it shows: she's ''very'' athletic, as she regularly works out and is great at sports such as grudgby and flying derby (the latter being her favorite) and can be aggressive (to the point of murderous intent) when significantly angered. But on the girly side, her default personality is peaceful, demure and sweet, she loves tending to plants, and she has worn feminine-styled clothes and accessories on some occasions.

* VocalEvolution: She starts using slightly lower voice from "Labyrinth Runners" on.

* MissingMom: Luz and Amity are the only ones in the group whose mothers are actually accounted for. Gus's dad appears to be a single father, Willow is implied to be the product of HomosexualReproduction, while Hunter and Vee [[spoiler:are both {{Artifical Human}}s whose closest parent analog is Belos.]]

* MakingASplash: She can magically conjure water to help with caring for her plants.
* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:She and Hunter both give each other a pseudo-LoveConfession in "For the Future" and are shown to be rather physcially affectionate in the DistantFinale, but it's not made clear if they're dating or not.]]

* NervesOfSteel: [[spoiler:While fighting Belos after he's possessed Hunter and is attacking by whipping around the boy's elongated arms and claws, rather than circle around him like the others to dodge attacks, Willow flies directly at one of the arms to grab and pin it with exactly no hint of fear. She even manages to keep Belos immobilized for several seconds while he struggles to wrench the arm back]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: It was her idea to walk the house directly towards Amity's mansion. That led to bounty hunters catching the house, and the kids. Quite rightly, she tells Eda that Luz wanted to actually return immediately and she and Gus egged Luz on.

* OnlyOneName: She's only ever referred to as "Vee" or "Basilisk #5" due to her past as a science experiemnt. It's heavily implied that [[HappilyAdopted she officially becomes "Vee Noceda"]] by the time of the epilogue (via a photo showing her graduating high school alongside Luz), but it's never actually stated.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** In "Yesterday's Lie", Camila is genuinely concerned when a disguised Vee shows little interest in the things that Luz loves, worried that she pushed Luz too far with camp.
** "Yesterday's Lie" established that she hates using her powers on living things, but she doesn't hesitate for a second to try and absorb Belos when he's possessing Hunter.

* BoobsOfSteel: In the epilogue, she has a noticeably large bust compared to all of the other characters, as well as some developed biceps.

* AmbiguouslyGay: "Thanks to Them" heavily implies that she has feelings for her goth friend Masha, who is non-binary and feminine-presenting.

* CrushBlush: In "Thanks to Them", she blushes after interacting with Masha at the Historical Society, implying that she might have a crush on her friend, who doesn't recognize her in her new form.

* ShipTease: Is hinted in "Thanks for Them" to have a crush on her goth friend Masha, [[CrushBlush blushing]] after talking to them at the Historical Society, and the end credits show them hanging out.

* WhatTheHellHero: She calls out Luz for wanting to run away from home. Vee has seen what Luz's life is like: a loving mother, a roof over her head, and basically anything she could ever want, whenever she wants it. To Vee, such a life is an outright paradise. It makes Luz, who had legitimately and [[FriendlessBackground justifiably]] hated living on Earth see how much she'd been taking for granted. However, in "Thanks to Them," iafter learning Luz's real reasons of running away to the Demon Realm, Vee realizes how unfair she was towards Luz and felt guilty for over her previous condemnation of her, and seeks to make it up to her. Vee returned all of Luz's belongings that she had earlier attempted to throw away to their proper place in addition to leaving a note on her bedroom door, welcoming Luz home as an apology.

* MissingMom: No mention is ever made of her biological mother, and the implied existance of HomosexualReproduction in the setting means it's entirely possible that she never had one to begin with.

* MissingMom: We’ve only seen his dad, but we haven’t seen or heard of his mom yet.

* TheResenter: She outright says she resents Luz for taking her life on Earth for granted. For Vee, a world where she has actual friends and a real, genuinely loving parent is paradise. On the other hand, she's caught between this and the fact that she's also glad Luz did it in the first place since Luz leaving her life behind allowed Vee to experience it in her place, and it's subtly made clear that due to her time at camp, Vee just doesn't understand Luz's [[FriendlessBackground reasons]] [[IJustWantToHaveFriends for running away]].

* WhatTheHellHero: She calls out Luz for wanting to run away from home. Vee has seen what Luz's life is like: a loving mother, a roof over her head, and basically anything she could ever want, whenever she wants it. To Vee, such a life is an outright paradise. It makes Luz, who had legitimately and [[FriendlessBackground justifiably]] hated living on Earth see how much she'd been taking for granted.

* In the epilogue, [[spoiler: They are shown to be very physically affectionate and otherwise strongly implied to be dating, though it is never verbally confirmed.]]

* ConfusionFu: This is the entire combat application of illusion magic, and one that Gus is quite adept at and getting better by the day. It can't directly hurt anyone, but it can screw with their perception of reality so hard that they're more likely to hurt themselves than anyone else. Even knowing that what you're seeing is probably fake doesn't help, because there's always a chance that it might be real and dangerous. This reaches it's logical conclusion in "Labyrinth Runners," where Gus' PowerIncontinence results in the entirety of Hexside being covered in an illusion and later on [[spoiler:it also leads to the resurgence of the worst memories of those who try to get near him, leading to Graye's defeat due to him being unable to handle the bad memories]].
