—Amity to Luz

**Amity Blight** is a major supporting character in *The Owl House*. She is a prodigious young witch who attends Hexside School of Magic and Demonics. Although initially depicted as an antagonist, after bonding with Luz, Amity becomes a better person, being able to stand up to her parents, regain her friendship with Willow, and become good and close friends with Luz. She and Luz use to be a couple until she met Andreas, Eventually Amity and Luz decided to stay as friends and she became Andreas's girlfriend.

## Appearance

### Body

Amity is thin, with pale skin, bright golden eyes, and pointed ears. Her hair is chin-length, with a ponytail pulling the front hair out of her face, and a mostly covered undercut visible at the temples. Amity's hair is two-toned, comprised of dyed shades of aquamarine with brown hair—her natural hair color visible at the roots.

Near the end of "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", Amity decides to dye her hair lavender, with brown hair visible on the undercut at her temples. After months of being stranded in the Human Realm, her hair has grown out to be shoulder-length, making the lavender color fade into a much lighter purple with her brown roots visible at the top of her head.

In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Amity's hair is worn up in a ponytail, with her bangs being the faded lavender color they were in the Human Realm and her ponytail being lavender, which exposes her brown undercut, and she has a tattoo of Flapjack on her left forearm to match with the rest of her friends. She also seems to have inherited Odalia's curvier figure.

### Clothing

When attending school, Amity wears a gray tunic with a dark gray belt, cowl, and boots. As part of the Abomination track, her sleeves and leggings are a magenta color. The rest of her attire includes wearing triangle-shaped black earrings and black nail polish. In her debate appearance she had a star pin on her cowl, which showed that she was the Top Student. She wears dark gray, heeled boots, with a light gray top.

When not attending school, Amity dresses in a black mid-sleeved dress with a gray belt fastened around her waist, orchid tights and black heeled boots with golden crescent moon buckles. Around her neck, she wears an amulet with an orchid gemstone; this later turns out to be an oracle charm Odalia uses to send her telepathic messages, which Amity destroys once she stood up to her. Her tights become dark red in "Through the Looking Glass Ruins" and in "Eda's Requiem", she starts wearing a circular gold necklace inset with a round purple gem.

After being stranded in the human realm, Amity initially wore a white top under a purple jumper with dark purple trims and belt, brown boots, and a black hairband. By late October, she takes to wearing two other outfits: the first is a long-sleeved dusty pink shirt under a dark blue denim overall dress with two gold buttons at the straps, navy blue tights with small pale blue dots spread out across it, and high-heeled black boots with two gold small buttons on the side of them. The second outfit is a purple blouse with a cat picture and the word "Boo" under it (as a reference to her palisman, Ghost), a visible black undershirt, high-waisted faded jeans with torn knees, and brown heeled boots: when she takes her boots off, she's shown wearing purple socks with a red-violet triangle pattern.

During the Halloween Hayride, Amity dressed as Hecate from *The Good Witch Azura*, with the costume consisting of a dark blue tunic with gold trim and crescent designs near the hem, black tights, white heeled boots, gloves, a cape, and a red wig with a gold tiara on it. She continues wearing the costume when returning to the Demon Realm, minus the wig and cape. She now sports pink nail polish, as well.

In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Amity's outfit consists a ponytail holder resembling her Grom Queen tiara with three pointed magenta crystals, black triangle dangle earrings, a dark gray button-up shirt with golden buttons and rolled up sleeves with matching buttons, and a black collar. The shirt has several spots of abomination goo on it. She wears a pair of brown gloves, a lavender cross-body belt with a golden adjuster, and a brown belt with a golden rectangular buckle, and a round purple flask on her hip. She completes this look with a pair of dark purple abomination style pants and black high-heeled boots with her classic moon symbols.

## Personality

Amity is described as a bright and competitive individual, with a passionate drive to succeed and rise to the best, both in school and in society. This could be seen in her dream to one day join the Emperor's Coven, which only accepted the most skilled of witches into its ranks. When she and Luz first met, however, Amity was shown to be very proud and arrogant, to the point of being boastful, haughty, and confrontational. As the "Top Student" at Hexside, Amity took pride in her status as the best student in the entire school and went as far as to use it as a bragging right often to get what she wanted. This made her somewhat of a teacher's pet, seeing as how several Hexside faculty, including Principal Bump and Professor Hermonculus, regarded her highly. This caused her to look down on other students who weren't as successful as she was and often teased them for it, in which she would brag about her superiority while offering them half-hearted encouragement. This was exemplified in her poor treatment of Willow in "I Was a Teenage Abomination", during which Amity often went out of her way to demean Willow at nearly every opportunity. Additionally, Amity didn't take kindly to those who she felt were stealing her spotlight, and would spitefully attempt to get back at them in order to prove her superiority, as she twice attempted to do to with Luz. In line with her vindictiveness, Amity also showed a lack of responsibility and was unwilling to admit when she was at fault, instead directing blame onto others for her own mistakes. Like many witches on the Boiling Isles, Amity also initially held humans in low regard due to their inability to wield magic on their own.

Eventually, however, Amity was shown to possess a much more sensitive side to her personality, which she kept hidden beneath her sense of superiority. This sensitivity was shown when her reputation was compromised, becoming extremely frustrated and deeply depressed whenever she failed to meet her own standards for success. Along with her hidden vulnerable side, Amity was also much kinder than she initially let on. This was first shown in "Covention", when she was genuinely impressed by Luz's commitment in becoming a witch, to the point of honorably unbinding the everlasting oath that would have prevented her from doing this, showing that she genuinely respects those who demonstrate hard work and determination. In addition, Amity possesses a vehement hatred of cheating. This was demonstrated when she appalled and ashamed when Lilith had unknowingly caused her to cheat during her Witch's Duel with Luz at the Covention, showing that she wishes to succeed based on the validation of her tireless effort. Another prominent trait of Amity's kindness is her fondness for children. Though initially stern and cynical towards those her own age, Amity was extremely sweet and patient towards smaller children, with her enjoying reading to them as part of her job at the Bonesborough Library. Additionally, it was revealed in "Lost in Language" that like Luz, Amity is a fan of the *Good Witch Azura* book series, which served as an important factor in their eventual friendship.

In "Understanding Willow", it was revealed that Amity's negative traits were the result of the controlling influence of her parents, namely her emotionally abusive mother, Odalia. This included her seeming desire of joining the Emperor's Coven, which was, in truth, forced upon her by Odalia. When shown in her mother's presence, Amity's usual confidence and pride were replaced with a submissive and depressed demeanor, due to the deep fear she held of her mother's judgment. Her desperation to live up to her parents' expectations also caused her to conceal her softer traits, having been taught that showing such emotions were signs of weakness. This suggests that much of Amity's haughty demeanor was, in truth, a facade to hide her emotional insecurities. In truth, after her parents forced her to cut ties with Willow, Amity was an extremely miserable and lonely individual, who took no pleasure in the company of the "friends" she usually hung out with, having only done so at her parents' command. As was revealed in her diary entries, this caused her to secretly yearn for true companionship, while also deeply regretting the meanness she showed towards others at school, both of which she attempted to hide in order to maintain the standards of strength demanded of her by her parents. In "For the Future", it is revealed that Amity's deepest desire during this time is to escape her parents' control and choose her own path in life.

Ultimately, a leading factor in Amity's emotional development and maturity would be her friendship and eventual romance with Luz. Initially, Amity was very hostile and resentful of Luz, but, as time passed, she became increasingly touched by the constant kindness that Luz showed her. In "Lost in Language", after being saved by Luz from a corrupted Otabin, Amity came to realize that her initial misgivings about Luz were wrong and slowly began opening up to her, with the two forming a connection due to their mutual fondness of the Azura series. As her friendship with Luz grew, Amity gradually began to be kinder to others, while also slowly beginning to make amends with Willow, reconnecting with her older siblings and distancing herself from Boscha's group to the point of standing against them in defense of her newfound friends.

Eventually, as their friendship grew, Amity would develop a strong crush on Luz, being enamored by the human's unwavering kindness and empathetic nature. However, due to her lack of experience with romantic attractions, this crush would often manifest in the form of extreme nervousness, clumsiness, and spontaneous blushing when she found herself in Luz's presence. By the time of "Enchanting Grom Fright", her attraction for Luz had reached such a point that her deepest fear became being rejected by Luz. In "Escaping Expulsion", it was through her love for Luz that Amity would eventually find the courage to stand up to her parents. When Odalia attempted have Luz killed by the Abomaton 2.0 at the Blight Industries expo, Amity furiously came to her crush's defense and defied her mother's orders for the first time, showing impressive bravery and determination to not only protect Luz but also to exert her freedom from the controlling influence that she had long been subjected to. This courage was exemplified once again in "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", where Amity began dying her hair purple instead of green, despite knowing her mother would be angered by this, further symbolizing her growing sense of independence.

Since standing up to her parents and becoming Luz's girlfriend, Amity's personality has significantly improved and matured. In contrast to her initial proud, irritable and cynical demeanor, Amity has since become much happier, friendly, patient, and humble, regularly smiling and no longer suppressing the better qualities that she previously kept hidden. In addition to her newfound friendliness, Amity has also become much wiser and forgiving. This was demonstrated in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", when despite being tempted to use Luz's phone to discover what she had been hiding, Amity refused to violate her girlfriend's privacy and instead allowed Luz to inform her on her own terms. Her forgiveness even extends out to her enemies, as she was able to empathize with Hunter due to their similar insecurities and offered him a chance at redemption during their quest for Titan's Blood at Eclipse Lake. Additionally, Amity has abandoned her previous aspirations of joining the Emperor's Coven (and covens in general), recognizing that she only pursued this goal at the behest of her mother's ambitions rather than her own desires.

Despite her newfound development, Amity still retains some of the insecurities she endured under her mother's yoke. After she and Luz first started dating, Amity was shown to be very fearful of Luz breaking up with her if she failed to secure the Titan's Blood for her from Eclipse Lake, which made her fall victim to Hunter's manipulations. These fears most likely stemmed from Odalia raising her to believe that love and appreciation can only be received by meeting others' expectations. However when she met Andreas Whitelock Amity started to have feelings for him causing her and Luz to return to being just friends Due to Amity starting to fall in love for him. Also, in "Labyrinth Runners", it is shown that Amity still possesses much guilt over her years of bullying Willow and desperately wishes to make up for her previous cruelty. This, however, caused her to act irrationally and become very overprotective of Willow during Adrian Graye's attack on Hexside, which not only served to hinder their attempts to escape Graye's coven scouts, but also unintentionally undermine and upset Willow rather than help her. Fortunately, in both instances, by accepting advice from her friends (King in the former and Willow in the latter) Amity was able to recognize her mistakes and worked hard to correct them, further showing how she has now come to listen and accept the advice of others and take responsibility for the errors she makes.

Though now much warmer and friendly, Amity still possesses a fierce temper when provoked, and can be quite threatening to those who earn her wrath. This even extended to her mother Odalia, whom Amity became increasingly estranged with, to the point of attempting to attack her after she expressed her disgust at Amity dating Andreas and later when it was revealed that was willingly aiding Emperor Belos' plans of genocide on the Day of Unity, which culminated in her fully cutting ties with her mother and finally freeing herself from her toxic influence.

By the time of "Thanks to Them", Amity has since become increasingly carefree, cheerful and fun-loving, and developing a sense of optimism somewhat similar to Luz's. Among her friends, Amity is often shown as the most levelheaded, causing her to often assume a sort of leadership role among the group. In addition, she maintains her willingness to forgive her enemies, having been able to empathize with Boscha's loneliness even after she betrayed them and later being the first among her friends after Luz to befriend the Collector after he aided them in the final battle against Belos, which also further demonstrated her soft spot for children. Despite this, she still maintains some of her competitive traits, though to a far smaller degree, as was demonstrated in her frustration to being unable to properly draw Glyphs during her lessons with Luz, and later quietly voicing her displeasure at not being the top student in her friends' Spanish lessons.

In the four years since Belos' defeat and cutting ties with her mother Odalia, Amity continues to maintain her warm-hearted and cheerful personality, having finally obtained the freedom and compassion she had always longed for, while also maintaining her relationship with Andreas and restoring her damaged bonds with her father and former mentor Lilith. Additionally, she has come to develop an extremely adventurous side and becoming skilled in Abomination Engineering.
