3	''[[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/tagged/Witches%20Among%20Humans Witches Among Humans]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' fan comic created by Website/{{Tumblr}} user [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/ MoringMark]] (best known for their ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' webcomics ''Webcomic/EchoCreekATaleOfTwoButterflies'', ''Webcomic/ShipWarAU'' and ''Webcomic/SVTFOEMetaverse'')

5	Luz Noceda is the most wanted criminal in the Boiling Isles. Raised as a wild witch, Luz is a master of all magics and uses her powers to undermine the oppressive system that rules over her people. One day, a quest went terribly wrong and now she has been sent to another realm: Earth.

7	After several issues, it was [[OrphanedSeries quietly dropped]] when the author returned to making his standard one-shots. This series also serves as the inspiration for ''Fanfic/AmongHumans''.
8	----
9	!!''Witches Among Humans'' provides examples of:
10	* AdaptationalBadass: In canon, Luz's mother is a vet who finds Luz's willful, though admittedly destructive imagination exasperating. Here she raised Luz as a wild witch (which, if the Boiling Isles in the comic is anything like the show, is ''illegal'').
11	* AdaptationalVillainy: The strip has the Bat Queen and other demons go on rampages in the Human World that Luz has to stop.
12	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In this version of the story, Luz is a witch, King is a cat and everyone else is human. Demons are still demons.
13	* TheAllegedCar: Eda's car is prone to having its engine randomly die. It eventually gets brought to life by Luz to remedy the problem.
14	* AnachronicOrder: The comics don't appear to be told in any specific order. For example, after several issues being dedicated to the progression of Luz and Amity's relationship, we then later get an issue showing how the two of them first met, and the exact timeframe of the issues between them or immediately after isn't clear.
15	* BadassNormal: Despite being human and legitimately old Eda can still smack monsters real good.
16	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: It's implied that Luz started liking Amity because she defended her from Boscha and her posse.
17	* ButchLesbian: Being a witch from the Boiling Isles, this version of Luz is more crass than her canon-counterpart and is in a relationship with Amity.
18	* EveryoneHasStandards: While this Luz is a vigilante and a lot rougher than her canon self, she won't turn things into gold for Eda and screw with humanity's economy.
19	* FishOutOfWater: Being a witch of the Boiling Isles, Luz is unaccustomed to certain realities in the Human World.
20	** She calls coffee "bitter bean blood."
21	** Luz shows a Grom heart (which is an actual organ) to Gus who is visibly unnerved by it.
22	** When it starts raining, she clings to Amity, thinking it would melt the flesh off her bones if left out in it.
23	* HeelRaceTurn: According to the Giraffe that Luz confronts, their species collectively abandoned soul-eating centuries ago.
24	* InspectorJavert: This version of Lilith is a cop hunting Luz down, seeing the witch as a threat.
25	* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: At one point, Luz interrupts what appears to be Amity confessing her feelings so she won't get caught up in her conflict with Lilith.
26	* JustLikeRobinHood: Having been born and raised as a wild witch, this version of Luz is a vigilante that undermined the governing bodies on the Boiling Isles. When she winds up in the human world, she becomes a full-on {{superhero}}.
27	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Luz has no memory of exactly how she wound up in the Human World.
28	* LipstickLesbian: Amity is fairly feminine and is in a relationship with Luz.
29	* LovesMyAlterEgo: Amity is not among her list secret keepers, Luz's secret identity (or in her case, her real identity) coming close to being blown to her girlfriend more than once. One comic panel hints this will eventually change with Amity learning about Luz's secret.
30	* MageInManhattan: Luz escaped the Boiling Isles in the human world. In fact, it looks like it takes place in Manhattan.
31	* MuggingTheMonster: Or the witch in Boscha and co's case. Honestly, Amity threatening them with a recording is them getting off ''easy''.
32	* MythologyGag:
33	** The designs of Luz, Amity, and a few others are based on their prototype designs.
34	** In the Witches Among Humans intro, King wears a skull that resembles his canon counterpart's head.
35	** During a trip to the zoo Luz confronts a giraffe, which in ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' are confirmed to be monsters banished from the Boiling Isles.
36	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The giraffe Luz confronts is designed to be slightly more realistic than the rest of the cast, most likely to highlight how they're actually demons.
37	* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being a battle-hardened vigilante, Luz chooses to use the otter suit from the canon show as her backup costume when her main costume is still drying.
38	* OfficialCouple: Luz and Amity end up a couple at some point... presumably after she shot down Amity [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy so she won't get caught up in her conflict with Lilith]].
39	* RoleSwapAU: The entire setting of the webcomic is established as a complete inversion of its parent series. While ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is about a human that stumbles in a demon-infested MagicalLand, ''Witches Among Humans'' is about a witch (Luz) that gets lost in the human world.
40	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: During the 5/15/21 comic Luz is forced to use her otter outfit to disguise herself to fight the Bat Queen because Eda is washing her witch outfit, but because everyone (including said Bat Queen) laugh at her she immediately leaves. Presumably the Bat Queen laughed herself to a state of unthreat after that.
41	* SecretKeeper: While canon!Luz is public knowledge, this version of Luz tries keeping her identity a secret (wearing a beanie to cover her ears in disguise, her hood used to mask her face while performing magic), with Eda, Willow, and Gus being the ones to keep her secret on-panel and a comic hints Amity set to learn it at some later point.
42	* ShoutOut:
43	** The 1/21/2021 scene of Amity celebrating a date oblivious to the battle behind her is a self-admitted one to ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan'' and a similar scene in the show.
44	** Before confronting the giraffe Luz rushes to a booth to change like something out of classic Superman.
45	* SinisterCar: After Luz magics Eda's car to life it gains sentience, wings, and ''fangs''. It may desire to eat Boscha.
46	* SuperFic: Since magic is uncommon in the human world, Luz's antics in the human world are framed as a hero debut.
47	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Sure, [[ItMakesSenseInContext the giraffes gave up their diet of eating souls centuries ago]] and are therefore harmless, but seeing a giraffe speak is still going to make everybody at the zoo scared of it.
48	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: An inverted example; Luz is a witch from the Boiling Isles who was accidentally transported to Earth.
49	* TheUnmasquedWorld: Downplayed. While humans don't have magic like in-canon, the reality that magic and witches are real is a given here, Eda recognizing Luz for what she is on-sight and Lilith claims that "Among Humans, there are good witches, and there are bad witches."
50	* YouCanTalk: Luz confronts a giraffe at the zoo, but when it claims to have given up eating people's souls Luz assures everyone present not to panic... and they panic anyway, weirded out by a talking giraffe.
