**Luz Noceda** (ルス・ノセダ, *Rusu Noseda*) is an eager, teenage Afro-Latina human who accidentally stumbles upon a portal to the Boiling Isles in the Demon Realm. In order to prove herself as a witch, Luz begins learning magic under Eda's guidance, despite not having magical abilities of her own.

## Description

*Luz is a self-assured 14-year-old human girl from Connecticut, who accidentally stumbles upon a portal that transports her to the Boiling Isles. Upon arrival, Luz decides to make her dream of becoming a witch come a reality, after she befriends a witch named Eda and becomes her apprentice. This proves to be difficult due to Luz's lack of magical abilities, as well as the local town's demons being very prejudiced towards humans which forces her to hide her real identity.*
### Appearance

Luz is a Dominican-American fourteen-year-old girl with tan skin, short, dark brown hair, and hazel-brown eyes. Her clothing consists of a pair of black earrings, a white-and-violet hoodie with cat ears attached to the hood, jean-shorts, dark gray leggings, and a pair of white slip-on shoes. Her nightwear consists of a light gray sleeveless top, purple shorts with an amber trim, moon and star, and white-and-indigo socks. When attending Hexside School of Magic and Demonics, she wears the standard uniform, but with multi-colored sleeves and leggings as she is studying all the tracks in the school.

Later on, Luz starts wearing Eda's old grudgby jacket, a gray undershirt, lighter brown pants and dark brown boots, and has put her hair into a ponytail. In "King's Tide", Luz gets a scar on her left eyebrow, while battling Belos.

In season three, Luz's hair is longer, and she's wearing a beanie with two pins — an eye, and a bisexual pride flag. She is also sporting her pilot shirt underneath Eda's Hexside Varsity Jacket, capped off with green sweatpants and red & white sneakers. She has worn other outfits as well.

During the opening montage of "Thanks to Them", she wore a red and white cap with a blue cat graphic in the center, a white t-shirt with red sleeves and a blue square-shaped “OK” graphic on it, a green fanny pack, dark blue sweatpants, and black slip-on shoes.

When attending her high school, she wore her beanie cap, Eda’s grudgby jacket over a white t-shirt with a dark teal collar and a snake graphic on it, dark purple sweatpants, black shoes, and her green fanny pack.

During the Haunted Hayride and her return to the Demon Realm, Luz wore a Good Witch Azura costume, consisting of a white long-sleeved top with flared sleeves and lavender trim surmounted by a dark purple yoke with a gold star in the center, dark purple pants, white boots with black soles and gold buttons, and her green fanny pack. On her head, she wears a white pointed witch’s hat surrounded by a gold coronet. She initially wore a white aramis cape with a shoting star graphic on the right shoulder and a green wig with the costume, but she lost both during her battle with Hunter, who was possessed by Belos.

### Personality

Luz is a very excitable young girl. With a high fascination for all things fantasy and a knack for adventure, Luz is very outgoing and willing to hop into anything thrown her way. She sometimes has trouble looking before she leaps, but always manages to somehow land on her feet. In "A Lying Witch and a Warden", Luz describes herself as someone who enjoys "editing anime clips to music and reading fantasy books with convoluted backstories" while in "The First Day", her aura is described as "strong and silly like a baby's laughter".

Another important aspect of her personality is that she cares deeply for people and her determination to protect them is what drives her to her goals. Luz is shown to have a sense of responsibility that surprisingly mature for someone her age, as she freely acknowledges that she is responsible for her own actions to the point where she will blame herself for something she has caused, even when it is not really her fault.

It is also shown that much of Luz's faults come from her, not knowing how to express her negative emotions in healthy ways to the point where she tries hiding them instead of being open about them.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Glyph Magic:** Luz studyed the art of magic under the tutelage of Eda. Since she lacks the same magical anatomy that witches have, she cannot perform magic naturally with her bare hands; instead, she casts spells by drawing glyphs found within the Spell Circles witches tend to use. After the spirit of the Titan passes on, Luz loses the ability to use glyphs. However a few years after, King discovers he has his own glyphs and agrees to teach them to her.
	+ **Light spell:** Creates an illuminating orb of light and is the first spell Luz learns. To cast this spell, she needs to draw a large triangle in the spell circle with a smaller triangle and circle on top. Down the middle a long line with two smaller lines across, side by side in the triangle.
	+ **Ice spell:** Conjures ice. To cast this spell, Luz needs to draw a diamond with a line down the center, sat on another line across the bottom of the spell circle. A curved line must be drawn across the diamond and sometimes a smaller diamond is included at the bottom.
	+ **Plant spell:** At some point in "Enchanting Grom Fright", Luz learns how to create plants. To cast this spell, Luz must draw a plant like glyph.
	+ **Fire spell:** Conjures fire by drawing a larger circle at the bottom of the spell circle with a dot in the center. On top, Luz must draw a smaller circle with a curved triangle on top. Another curved triangle is also included on top of the bigger circle which goes over the smaller circle. Luz first learnt this spell during a Grudgby match against Boscha.
	+ **Invisibility:** Inspired from Lilith's history books, Luz came up with a glyph combination that turns her invisible. However, this spell only lasts as long as she holds her breath.
	+ **Mist/Sleeping spell:** By combining the fire and ice, Luz can conjure up a mist. Also by including pollen from sleeping nettle flowers within the combination, she can create sleep-induced smoke.
	+ **Hover Spell:** A glyph combination that creates a blue light around a person that makes them hover over the ground slightly. It doesn't appear to last long.
	+ **Wind Spell:** Using a glyph combination, Luz can summon a small tornado.
	+ **Water Fountain Spell:** Using a glyph combo, Luz can summon a small fountain of water.
	+ **Petrification Spell:** Using a glyph combo, Luz can turn objects into stone.
	+ **Monster Arm Spell:** Using a glyph combo, Luz can summon a monster arm that will attack anyone near it.
	+ **Teleportation Spell:** A very complex combination she learnt from Belos when he was still Philip. This spell allows anyone standing in the combo to be teleported to any part of the Isles.
* **Artistic Skill:** Luz is capable of accurately drawing a glyph or sketching someone's face from memory.
* **Staff:** By "For the Future", Luz gets her own palisman: a snake-shifter she calls Stringbean.
* **Bilingualism:** Luz is capable of speaking English and Spanish fluently.
* **Titan Hybrid Physiology (temporary):** After meeting the spirit of King's father, he gives Luz the last of his magic, making Luz half-Titan. It fades away after Belos is defeated.
	+ **Titan Magic:** Luz is able to use Titan magic without using glyphs, she is able to cast spells like a witch and is able to overpower Belos.
	+ **Sonic Scream:** Like King, Luz could generate a sonic shout.

## Trivia

* Luz is the third human to arrive in the Boiling Isles, preceded by Philip and Caleb Wittebane 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. 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, with the exception being Ursula (Shiny Chariot) is a real person.
* Luz is also similiar to Izuku Midoriya. Both are desired to become heroes (for Deku) and witches (for Luz) despite having no special abilities (Deku was born Quirkless and Luz is just an ordinary human). Both are also idolized with their role models (All Might and Azura), but All Might is a real person while Azura is just a fictional character.
* 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.
