Over the course of Season One the elixir begins to lose its potency on her, and it becomes progressively harder for her to keep the transformation at bay. Įda initially claims she was called The Owl Lady because of her home and possessing traits similar to owls, but it is later revealed to be due to a curse that causes her to turn into an owl beast, and she must drink an elixir daily to suppress the curse. Whilst she is pleased to see Luz banned from campus following an incident, she relents upon realizing that Luz wants more knowledge, and makes a deal with Principal Bump to allow Luz to attend classes, admitting that she cares about Luz and wants to make her happy. Eda attended Hexside Academy of Magic and Demonics when she was younger, but now happily despises the school. Whilst Eda's approach to teaching is often chaotic and uncoordinated, she has a deeper understanding of magic than she lets on, is able to effectively perform powerful spells, and her approach is ultimately instrumental in Luz discovering her own magic.

A reward has been offered for her capture, due to her criminal record that includes offenses such as selling human items, not joining a coven, and theft. Eda Clawthorne Įdalyn "Eda" Clawthorne (voiced by Wendie Malick as an adult, Dee Bradley Baker in owl beast form, Natalie Palamides as a young girl), also known as "The Owl Lady", is the 40-something, self-proclaimed most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles, and Luz's mentor.

Īccording to Dana Terrace, Luz is named after her Dominican-American roommate, Luz Batista, a story consultant for the show, and is Disney's first confirmed bisexual lead character, a trait that she had to fight for. Luz manages to stop the Day of Unity, but in the process is forced to leave King and Eda behind in the magic realm and returns to the human realm with Amity, Gus, Willow and Hunter where she reunites with her mother. Luz later enacts a plan to help disrupt the Day of Unity that involves allowing herself to be captured by Kikimora that involved Gus using his illusion to have her pose as Hunter. In "Reaching Out", it is revealed that her father passed away when she was young and she annually collects flowers to remember him. Luz eventually tells Eda and King but neglects to bring this up to anyone else until Amity finds her cell phone and asks her what is happening with her. After convincing her mother to look after her, Luz accidentally gives the impression that she wanted to get away from her and watches helplessly as she is forced back to the Boiling Isles promising that she will be back and stay. Luz eventually uses a portal to see her mother during which she discovers that an opportunistic, yet kind basilisk named Vee was posing as her. She also begins to realize that she has feelings for her former rival Amity Blight, with the two of them becoming a couple in "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door". She later learns that she is a basilisk named Vee and allows her to stay with Camila who also learns about Luz's predicament. Unbeknownst to her, there is a doppelgänger posing as her while living with an oblivious Camila. In season two, Luz begins teaching Eda and Lilith to use glyph magic as she searches for a way home. At the end of the first season, Luz is forced to destroy her only way home to protect it from being invaded by Emperor Belos. Principal Bump was convinced that mixing magics is not a bad thing, and therefore let the other trouble making students take more than one class, with Luz becoming the first student who is officially allowed to learn magic from all the tracks. Later however, Luz, with the help of the detention track students, saves the school from a magic eating Greater Basilisk who had disguised herself as the Emperor's Coven inspector. She finally became an official student of Hexside, though she was saddened at first as she was only allowed to learn one type of magic at a time, and not combine different magic types.

She finds out that she can use magic by drawing glyphs that she sees within her environment and spell circles witches cast to do magic. Luz loves all things fantasy and magical, wanting to become a witch. She often feels as though she does not fit in. Luz Noceda (voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles ) is a 14-year-old Afro- Dominican-American girl from Gravesfield, Connecticut who ends up on the Boiling Isles, and becomes both Eda's apprentice and a new exchange student at Hexside Academy.
