Luz Noceda, also known as Luz the Human, is the main protagonist from The Owl House series.
== Charactah Account ==
A teenage Afro-Latina girl who, after following an owl carrying a trash bag into an abandoned house, suddenly finds herself on the Boiling Isles, a world where magic is real. It's not long after, that Luz runs into Eda, the most powerful witch on the isle (also the most wanted), and her demon companion, King. After helping Eda and King on an adventure, Luz decides she wants to stay on the Isles and learn magic. Now living as Eda's apprentice, Luz begins her journey to becoming the witch she always dreamed of being, though it won't be half as easy as she thought.
Luz is kind-hearted, outgoing, eccentric, geeky girl. She is eager to find her place in the world and be accepted for who she feels she truly is. She is seen as an outcast on Earth due to making herself seem strange and difficult to engage with by her peers, school staff and her own mother, leading to her having no friends besides imaginary ones or reptilians.
Luz is determined to be who she wants to be regardless of the opposition she receives, even if said opposition has legitimate backing. She is proven to be remarkably headstrong, and her excessive determination and refusal to show conformity lead to her social life and school performance stagnating. This is translated to the Boiling Isles by way of disobeying Eda and getting into trouble.

== Trivia ==
* Luz is the second human to arrive in the Boiling Isles, preceded by Philip over three hundred years prior.
* Luz's hoodie has attached cat ears that connect to her hood, meaning she may like cats, just like a witch.
* Luz is pronounced "loose".
** Interestingly, some media outlets erroneously misspelled Luz's name as "Luce" prior to the show's premiere.
* Luz has similar traits to Atsuko "Akko" Kagari from the anime series Little Witch Academia. Both desire to become witches despite having non-magical backgrounds, and like Akko, who is a fan of a witch named Shiny Chariot, Luz is a fan of a witch character named Azura. The Exception being Ursula (Shiny Chariot) is a real person in that anime.
* Luz is the first student to study under every track of the Hexside School of Magic and Demonics, and the first human to be enrolled in Hexside.
* Luz may be a tomboy, implied physically by her short hair and some clothing choices.
** In "Hooty's Moving Hassle", Luz shows interest in action figures, which is most common for boys.
** In "Enchanting Grom Fright", Luz calls herself a bad boy.
* It is noted that in some episodes, Luz's voice changes briefly.
* Luz's bag has a sticker featuring three hearts, with one half-full. This is a common depiction of a Health or HP Bar featured in numerous video games, most notably The Legend of Zelda and Minecraft. Similar stickers exist in real life. This detail would suggest Luz be at least somewhat of an avid gamer.
* In the episode, "Sense and Insensitivity", Luz admits that she wants to be a writer, as being a witch is not a career option on Earth. She has also stated that she enjoys book fairs, because that's "where books come to life".
* Dana Terrace confirmed in a Reddit AMA that Luz is bisexual.
** This was teased by her interactions with Nevareth and her reaction to Emira calling her a cutie.
* Luz can flip her eyelids inside out with ease.
* In the episode "Enchanting Grom Fright", it was mentioned and shown that Luz is lactose intolerant.
* Luz is shown to be ambidextrous in various episodes such as "The Intruder" and "Adventures in the Elements"; she can draw (and presumably write) with both hands.
* Dana Terrace and Luz Batista confirmed in a charity Twitch stream that Luz is an Afro-Latina, similar to how her namesake Luz Batista is as well.
* As was shown in "I Was a Teenage Abomination", Luz can move her ears.
* When asked during a now-deleted Tumblr AMA if Luz has ADHD, Dana Terrace stated that she didn't write Luz specifically with ADHD in mind, but based her on the observations Terrace made of her friends and herself from high school. Later on, in an interview with YouTuber Rebecca Bozza, Terrace replied that on that she did think of Luz as neurodivergent when first writing her character in 2016, and further replied that anyone can see her with ADHD to those who see themselves in her.
* In "Hunting Palismen", it is revealed that in the Human Realm, Luz lived in Connecticut.
** Connecticut is Dana Terrace's birthplace.
