* AdaptationalBadass: Because she never took on half of Eda's curse, Lilith still has her magic available, and, with Eda gone, is the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles. She later also takes step to improve her raw power under Eda's tutilage.

* AmazinglyEmbarassingParents: Lilith is not Luz' parent, but is her primary caretaker, and Luz dreads any moment Amity and Lilith are in the same room because of how much Lilith will tease them about their mutual crush. [[spoiler:After embracing her role as Luz' surrogate mother, Lilith also starts making "awful mom jokes"]].
* BadassBoast: "I am Lilith Clawthorne, the most powerful witch alive. These children are under my protection! Anyone who attempts to harm them will spend their last moments begging for death. As for you, if I ever see any of you in Bonesborough, I will paint the town with your blood."


Added DiffLines:

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Tibbles' mercenaries]] are on the receiving end of one when Lilith finds them attacking Luz. Lilith takes them all down in short order before declaring herself the most powerful witch on the boiling isles.


Added DiffLines:

* WeakButSkilled: Lilith, while far from weak, never worked to improve her raw strength in magic, instead delving into the theoretics behind spellcasting. This makes her a very skilled witch with an immense array of magic available to her, but weaker than Eda, who ignored the theory in favor of improving her raw power.

''The Raven & the Owlet'' is an AlternateUniverseFic based on ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' created by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Soulfyre/pseuds/ Soulfyre]] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.

Eda, instead of succumbing to her curse and turning into the Owl Beast [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E18AgonyOfAWitch while saving Luz and fighting Lilith]], instead dies from depleting all of her magic. Desiring Eda's portal to the Human Realm, Emperor Belos strips Lilith of her Coven Sigil and gives her one month to turn Luz to their side so she gives up the portal.

Of course, Lilith's actions mean the residents of the Owl House don't trust her at all. With everyone and everything against her, the eldest Clawthorne sister begins a journey she doesn't want to take.

The story can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31431416/chapters/77737595 here]]. It's part of a "[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/3097125 RavenVerse]]", which includes stories from other characters' perspectives known as ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/41485419/chapters/104038044 Raven Pellets]]''.

!!''The Raven & the Owlet'' uses the following tropes:
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Eda's death and the knowledge that Lilith cursed her deals a large emotional blow to Luz, as she spends the first 11 chapter grieving while having to deal with Lilith injecting herself into her life and trying to replace Eda.
* DeathByAdaptation: Eda dies from using up all of her magic to save Luz from being impaled because Lilith, contrasting her transformation into the Owl Beast.
* ForWantOfANail: Eda's death prevents any of "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E19YoungBloodOldSouls Young Blood, Old Souls]]" from happening, including Lilith's HeelRealization.
