You are talented. You are a star. You may be hated, so long as you are feared. Most important of all, you are a winner.

—Boscha to herself

**Boscha** is a recurring antagonist of *The Owl House*. She is a student at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics under the potions track.

## Appearance

### Body

Boscha has a slender figure with light pink skin, grayish-blue eyes, and mid-back length violet hair tied back in a bun. Like most witches on the Boiling Isles, she has pointy ears. She also has an extra third eye on her forehead, making Boscha a triclops.

Months after the Day of Unity, her hair has grown out and she keeps it in a low ponytail.

In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Boscha's hair can now be seen cut shorter, with two light pink streaks in the front, kept down.

### Clothes

When attending school, Boscha wears a dark gray tunic with a dark gray cowl. She wears dark gray, heeled boots with a light gray top. As part of the potions track, her sleeves and leggings are yellow.

Whenever she plays grudgby, she sports a magenta t-shirt, navy blue chest armor with orange trims on the collar and arms, white shoulder spikes and fang-like appendages, navy-blue and white shorts, blue and orange spiked shoes, and dark rose fingerless gloves and kneepads.

In "Once Upon a Swap", she wears red and white boots with bat wings which allow her to fly.

In "For the Future", she is shown wearing an outfit combining her uniform and her grudgby wear: a blue-gray cape with an orange collar, spiked right shoulder pauldron and medal hanging off of it, a gray shirt under the chest armor, black and light gray shorts, torn tights and a kneepad on her right knee and spiked boots. She also wears black gloves with sports tape on her left wrist and a crab-clawed headband likely referring to her palisman, Maya.

In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Boscha wears a letterman jacket which now differs from the one she had as a student that has light pink sleeves and a blue medal on the right side of the chest. She wears an orange shirt, black and white shots with an orange trim, black kneepads, and black and orange spiked shoes.

## Personality

Boscha is an arrogant and prideful witch, unafraid to insult and/or humiliate those she looks down upon with hardly any regret, especially Luz and Willow. Her major role in "Wing It Like Witches" shows her mean and rude personality more clearly, as she is shown being interested in bullying weaker and weirder witches, like Willow, Gus, and Luz. She is also very controlling, often ordering her friends around and acting as a self-appointed ringleader.

When asked about Boscha’s greatest flaw, the character's voice actress, Eden Riegel, said that Boscha “has a constant need for exterior validation”. This seemingly informs her belittlement and challenging of those she considers beneath her, along with her frustration with anyone getting ahead of her, such as King leading her friends away from her or Willow becoming more popular than her.

She is obsessed with Penstagram, often using it to chat with people in her friend group, or to poke fun at somebody else; she even called it more important than a Moonlight Conjuring.

Despite her unpleasant attitude towards others, she does appear to have some respect for her friends. As seen in "Understanding Willow", she immediately stops romantically questioning about a cute ghost upon Amity's intervention. She also seems to have a soft side, as shown in her positive reaction when blushing upon receiving her palisman, Maya, in "Hunting Palismen". In "For the Future", she was very horrified of seeing Amelia and Cat being turned into puppets by The Collector, showing she truly cared for them despite how she treated them horribly.

Furthermore, since the loss of her team, Boscha seems to have grown an increasingly-fragile state of mind, revealing a much more co-dependant side of her as she clings desperately to any reminders of her old life before the Collector's takeover, like begging Amity to be her friend again so the two of them can rule Hexside together and, in that way, she is not left alone.

In the aftermath of Luz's final battle with Belos in "Watching and Dreaming", the Collector transforms the citizens of the Boiling Isles, who they previously turned into puppets, back to their normal states, including Boscha's previously lost friends/grudgby teammates Amelia and Cat. Upon noticing their presence, Boscha then tears through the crowd of Hexside students and rushes over to her friends and hugs them, while shedding tears of joy, further cementing how much she values her friendship with them.

## Abilities

### **Skillset**

* **Grudgby skill**: Boscha is the current captain of the school's grudgby team, and as such is an extremely highly-skilled player with a whole room full of medals and trophies. She also seems to be very into the game, as during the season, she is said to only speak in "grudgby terms".
* **Ratworm racing skill**: Boscha is seen being competent at ratworm racing and challenges Luz (actually King) to a race, which she wins.

### **Unique Abilities**

* **Magic**: Like most witches, Boscha's magic comes from a sac of magic bile attached to her heart.
	+ **Potions:** As Boscha is in the potion track, it can be inferred that she has skills in making potions. During her reign as Hexside's ruler, she brews a sleeping potion to knock out adversaries.
	+ **Transformation magic:** In "Understanding Willow", she used a magic circle to change her nails into tentacles, fire, and claws.
	+ **Levitation**: In "Wing It Like Witches", Boscha can levitate objects with ease, as shown when she raises Willow's satchel and many grudgby balls.
	+ **Fire magic**: In "Wing It Like Witches", Boscha proves herself to be very capable when she throws countless fireballs at Luz without any effort.

## Trivia

* Initial storyboards for "I Was a Teenage Abomination" shows that Boscha was initially in the abomination track, but was later swapped out for Mary when the episode aired.
	+ Her track was probably changed to make her stand out more from Amity as well as Willow’s original track.
* Her third eye, located on her forehead, can blink both the normal way and sideways.
* She was a fan of *Ruler's Reach* - a book written by King, along with Skara and Amelia.
* Boscha plays on the Hexside grudgby team, the Banshees.
	+ She is the captain of the team as well, having succeeded Amity when she left.
* Boscha is the second Disney cartoon character to have three eyes after Tom Lucitor from *Template:W*.
* Her eyebrows have a tendency to disappear and reappear. This is possibly an artistic choice on the part of the animators, as it usually happens based on her emotional state.
* According to Willow in "Really Small Problems", Boscha owns a pet pixie, and when it escaped from its cage, it led to the pixie infestation that caused school to be canceled during the events of the episode.
* In "Them's the Breaks, Kid", two potion-track students can be seen together in the past Hexside, with both of them bearing resemblance to Boscha. One is a tall pink-haired girl with three eyes, and the other is a shorter plum-haired student with glasses. Rebecca Bozza confirmed in a livestream that the three-eyed student was Boscha's mother, but could not confirm whether the other student was also related to Boscha.
