Vee

Vee (also known as Number 5) is a character who appears in the Disney Channel animated series The Owl House. She is a basilisk who came to the human realm and took Luz's place.
==Background==
===Personality===
Vee is shown to be rather insecure about her identity as a basilisk and is fearful and wary of strangers. However, she became more comfortable after shapeshifting into an impostor of Luz. She then started living with Camila, easily deceiving her and others into thinking she was the real Luz for months. As the impostor, Vee is shown to be laid-back, opportunistic, and more toned down compared to the real Luz. She dislikes confrontation heavily, and when put under pressure or in troublesome situations, Vee can be left petrified for an extended period of time.
During her time in the human realm, Vee adapted quickly to human culture. She learnt cooking with Camila, studied Spanish, and familiarized herself with human devices.
===Powers and abilities===
Like all Basilisks, Vee has the ability to extract magic, which gives her powers, such as the ability to shapeshift.
==Role in the Series==
===Background===
Vee was part of a batch of basilisks that were brought back from extinction by Emperor Belos in order to study their ability to extract magic from living beings. Labeled as subject Number 5, Vee was put through various experiments where she was forced to extract magic from living creatures until they were completely drained, which she heavily detested doing. Eventually, she and a few other basilisks became fed up with the inhumane tests and escaped. However, it was only a matter of time before the Emperor recaptured them. On the day Luz came to the Boiling Isles, Vee went through the same Portal to escape. 
Upon arrival, she met Luz's mother, Camila Noceda. She took on Luz's form to hide her true appearance. She never intended to stay with Camila, but she quickly grew close to her. She showed her the only kindness she had ever known all her life. Since then, she has been living with Camila, pretending to be Luz.
===Season Two===
By "Yesterday's Lie", her secret was exposed when Luz managed to regain contact with the Human realm. Despite Camila knowing the truth, she still managed to see she was not a nasty creature, but an innocent child seeking a place of belonging. After saving her from a witch obsessed curator, Camila welcomed Vee to continue living with her, which she happily accepted. In "Reaching Out", she is seen cooking while Camila places a vase with flowers on the window. In "King's Tide", while Camila was cooking, she and Camila heard a knock at the door and it was Luz, Amity Blight, Willow Park, Gus Porter, and Hunter by the door.
===Season Three===
In "Thanks to Them", Vee plays a major role, where she shows Amity and Willow an Alarm clock, but the duo mistake it for something dangerous and destroy. She later joins Luz, Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hunter on their time to make a new gateway back to the boiling isles but were unsuccessful. Vee later took a new human form and continue helping the Hexsquad find clues back to the boiling isles and helping them learn about the Human Realm. She, Amity, Willow, and Gus arrived at Gravesfield Historical Society where Vee was reluctant to go because of Jacob Hopkins, only to discover he was fired and replaced by her friend: Masha. Masha then starts to ask Vee if they have seen her somewhere before, Vee tells them that she just has one of those faces.
She, Willow, Gus, and Amity show Masha the Rebus and they discover it's a map of old Gravesfield and will lead to Titan's blood. The next day, it's Halloween and Vee help Camila passed out candy and later falls sleep. When Luz and Hunter go missing, Vee joins Camila, Amity, Willow and Gus to search for them, they spotted them only see to Hunter possessed by Belos. Vee attempt to save Hunter by absorbing Belos only for Belos to attack her but saved by Amity. Belos then escapes through the Portal to destroy the Boiling Isles and witness Flapjack revived Hunter.
Luz then confesses to everyone that she did help Belos find the Collector, but before she could announce her plans to stay in the Human Realm, Camila decides to accompany them to the Isles to stop Belos. Her friends comfort her and tell her that she is not to blame for helping Belos and that Belos tricked her. Vee stays behind and takes the form of Camila while the others enter the Demon Realm. At the end of "Watching and Dreaming", Vee continued to live with Camila, and graduated high school with Luz. A photo on the walls shows that she has joined the baseball team, and a shirt she is wearing also suggests that she has enrolled in the Demon Realm / Human Realm exchange program established by Gus. In addition, Vee is seen being comfortable to return to the Demon Realm in true form whenever she likes as she transformed into her true self upon arriving in the Boiling Isles to celebrate Luz's eighteenth birthday and belated quinceañera.
==Trivia==
*Prior to her name being revealed, fans gave her the nickname "Creepy Luz". The name derived from an interview with Sarah-Nicole Robles, the voice actor of them and the real Luz, when she described voicing "Creepy Luz" as her favorite moment in the studio.
**The description led fans to believe that the term referred to the existence of Luz's doppelgänger, until Dana Terrace clarified that this was a joke response to the line "Maybe I'll meet a hot yet vulnerable upperclassman" from "The First Day". In the same post, she acknowledged (though did not necessarily confirm) the possibility of the doppelgänger theory.
*Vee's name being derived from "Number 5", "V" in Roman numerals, seems to be an homage to V for Vendetta, in which the main character is an escaped test subject turned terrorist who calls himself "V", with the later revelation that it's not actually a letter, but the Roman numeral on her cell, room number five.
*She is the second basilisk to appear in the show, followed by The Inspector from "The First Day".
**Unlike the Inspector, however, Vee is kind and doesn't want to harm others. Even though it is a basilisk's nature to drain magic while harming the one they take it from.
**According to European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk is a legendary reptile reputed to be a serpent king, who can cause death with a single glance.
