—Edric Blight

**Edric Blight** is a recurring character in *The Owl House*. He is the older brother of Amity Blight and younger twin brother of Emira Blight and a student at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics. Though initially only part of the illusion track, he is currently enrolled in the illusion, potions, and beast keeping tracks.

## Appearance

### Body

Edric has a similar appearance to that of his sister, Emira, as they are twins. He has pale skin, pointed ears, golden eyes, thick black eyebrows, short, emerald-green hair, and a mole under his right eye.

In "Reaching Out", it is revealed that both Edric and Emira use a concealment stone to hide their true appearances. Without his concealment stone, Edric's overall appearance becomes more unkempt, having pulled-back hair, the thin beginnings of a mustache, and visible leg hairs. At some point after taking shelter at Hexside, he trimmed his mustache.

In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Edric grew a little bit of soulpatch beard and his hair is the same but it's longer.

### Clothing

Edric wears the illusion track school uniform, which consists of a light blue shirt and pants covered by a gray tunic and a small darker gray cowl over it. He also sports gray boots. In "Labyrinth Runners", due to his enrollment in the illusion, potions, and beast keeping tracks, his sleeves are now orange and yellow.

Out of school, he wears dark gray underclothes, a burgundy tunic with a belt around the waist, and gray boots with burgundy cuffs.

Without his teardrop-shaped concealment stone tucked under his sleeve on his wrist, he wears a yellow t-shirt with a campfire on it, gray sweatpants, and brown flat loafers. He also wears a set of black-rimmed glasses and a black headband.

After taking shelter at Hexside, Edric stops using his concealment stone as well as his hairband, keeping his glasses in place, which have since become cracked.

## Personality

Edric is an easy-going and friendly boy, but he has been shown to be quite a nasty prankster along with his twin sister, Emira. This is because he enjoys having fun. He is also quite rebellious, refusing to attend classes and preferring to skip them instead. He and Emira enjoy embarrassing their younger sister, Amity, due to her standoffish demeanor. However, despite this, he and Emira do seem to genuinely care about her, as Amity mentioned that they've been extra protective and nice towards her to make up for the "library incident" in "Lost in Language". Ever since then, Edric and Emira have had a much better relationship with Amity, helping her rescue Luz and giving her advice when she talked about her crush on the latter.

Though initially antagonistic towards his younger sister, Edric seems to bear no ill will towards Luz for attempting to thwart his and Emira's plans to embarrass Amity. He even displays something of a fondness for her, winking at her when they first met. Compared to his sisters, Edric is very melodramatic, as he is quick to panic over adversity and danger. He is also prone to get emotionally attached, such as when he wanted to adopt a bat that he and Emira were planning to eat. This extends towards Emira to the point of dependency, as he despairs over the idea of parting with Emira forever (a sentiment that the more autonomous Emira does not share). Edric is also slightly dim-witted at times, often refusing to listen to Emira or making his own situations worse.

Edric is somewhat insecure. He is very self-conscious about his appearance, relying on his concealment stone to hide his true appearance. He also feels like whenever he tries to help, he ends up ruining things instead. However, in "Reaching Out", when he demonstrates how proficient he is at not only illusion magic, but beast keeping and potion magic as well, Edric proves to be a very useful and powerful ally. This boosted his self-esteem and gave him the confidence to pursue multi-track opportunities.
