"It's almost like I lived the best life to get the worst...y'know.""No, we are not doing that. That goes completely against my morality."

**Claudia Ronan** is a major supporting character in *The Owl House.* He is a male witch in his last year of Hexside School of Magic and Demonics, enrolled in the Bard track. He is popular at school for his family's wealth and immense support of Emperor Belos' cause, along with his magical prowess and charisma. Claudia himself was a firm believer in Belos' ideals, being wary of humans, disapproving of wild magic, and intending to join a Coven immediately after graduation from Hexside.

Claudia is prodigious and social, and is considered a role model for aspiring witches at Hexside. Though always making a point to be a lawful citizen, Claudia is willing to bend the rules if it means keeping others safe. Following the reveal of Belos' true intentions, Claudia went through a period of disbelief and doubt, before putting aside his feelings to help Luz Noceda against the fight against Belos and protect his young schoolmates.

## Appearance

### Body

Claudia is a tall, young, male witch, with pointed ears characteristic of other witches on the Isles. He has a fair complexion and dark orange eyes, bordering on brown. His hair is curly and navy blue, styled in a sort of mullet for the first two seasons, and finally cut into a cropped curtain style in season three. Following the events of season 2, Claudia develops bags under his eyes due to his stress.

### Clothing

His attire while he is at school consists of a gray tunic with a darker belt, cowl, and boots. His sleeves and leggings are red due to being part of the Bard Track. He wears a silver ear cuff on his left ear, adorned with a red gem, which he wears throughout the entirety of the show. His casual attire consists of a black turtleneck, a sleeveless button-down top, plaid pants, and black boots. He has a belt bag at his side.

His season 3 outfit includes a turtleneck, a graphic t-shirt with the logo of a human band Claudia is fond of, and a zip-up hoodie. He also wears gray jeans, sneakers, and has assorted bracelets on his left hand.

## Personality

Immediately, Claudia is shown to be talented, popular, and a bit sarcastic. He is noted to be laid-back and gregarious, making pleasant conversation with any witch that he speaks with. Despite being a well-known and gifted student, Claudia was never competitive or jealous towards other witches, but was known to be a bit cocky, especially around students of a lower grade level than him. He is extremely willing to fight for the Boiling Isles and carry out Emperor Belos' will, his ideas being indoctrinated into Claudia, mainly by his father, Felton Ronan.

In spite of his confidence at school, Claudia is actually very quiet and docile at home, rarely speaking, and only if spoken to, as well as remaining formal and to the point, even in the presence of close family. Viewed by his family as the pride of Hexside and an exemplar of strength and talent for the other students, he seeks to uphold their vision of him and succeed in his endeavors. Despite this, Claudia has a tendency to lie to his family if the situation requires. Though it is unlike Claudia to do something unbefitting of his character, he occasionally twists the truth in order to achieve something such as an important piece of information, or to maintain his reputation, displayed in many instances where he claims to be proficient, or at least decent, in certain skills (such as playing violin), when in fact he majorly struggles with them. Nevertheless, Claudia is extremely caring of his family and showed immense concern for them when faced with the fact they might suffer from the Draining Spell.

Claudia is good-natured at heart, having very straightforward morals and often putting others before himself. He is very willing to protect his friends and his home from any imminent threats. He is also known by many to be extremely lawful, often blatantly dismissing any ideas to break the law or associate with criminals, discouraging his friends from getting into more trouble and disallowing them from doing things that could be potentially dangerous. This is likely caused by a considerable fear of being considered a criminal himself, and as such, he avoids making trouble, even if he can be derisive of certain authority figures in private; even so, many of these instances are nothing more than lighthearted jest and usually end in a brief apology. In spite of this, if someone is truly in danger, Claudia is willing to break a rule or two in order to save them, even going as far as attacking Lilith Clawthorne, the then-Coven Head, and temporarily brainwashing the Golden Guard in order to break into the Palace Library. Both cases resulted in an extremely guilty - but satisfied - Claudia.

Claudia seems to have some a sort of savior complex, even putting himself in danger to ensure others safety. He can't bear to see people suffer, and feels responsible for others safety, often expending a large amount of his time and resources to help people that he can. Despite his personal obligation to save everyone, partially ingrained into his brain by his community, he tends to mask this want and bury the guilt resulting from it. In the event where he *can't* do anything to improve the situation, he becomes despaired and discouraged. In the best case, Claudia is helpful and modest, assisting with small tasks and chores, especially later on in the show.

Claudia bears some doubt and insecurity due to, essentially, his religion being revealed to be a lie, and everything he's known to be true about his life's purpose being an elaborate plan to wipe out his kind. Because of this, he went through a state of uncertainty and inhibition, feeling as though he had been granted success and talent just so that the loss would hit harder, and that his efforts meant nothing in the large scale of things. He experienced a major identity crisis, one that he shared with Hunter, that he would eventually push aside in order to prove himself in the fight against Belos. Even with his newfound motivation, his insecurities still lingered, hindering his overall contentment and affecting him all throughout his time in the Human Realm.

Despite the guilt and challenges he's endured, Claudia remains in good spirits, though exasperated and hopeless. He has found entertainment in the Human Realm, such as the heavy metal band Atlanta Crashing and the comedically drastic differences between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm.
