“
You and I are not the same. You had a mom who loved you, a home, a life, you had it GOOD! And you STILL wanted to run away, I... I didn't have a choice. My real name is... Number 5. I'm a basilisk, and technically, I... I shouldn't exist.

—Vee confronting Luz

**Vee** is a recurring character of *The Owl House*. She is a basilisk from the Boiling Isles in the Demon Realm. After escaping from the Isles, she shapeshifted into a doppelgänger of Luz Noceda but was ultimately taken in by Camila Noceda, beginning a new life in the Human Realm.

## Appearance

### Body

Vee is a basilisk beast demon that has a small, chubby serpentine body with two arms and a tail in place of legs. Her face is round with wide eyes and a turned-up nose. She has a catlike mouth in a "W" shape with two small teeth poking out from her bottom jaw with her lower lip being a dark maroon color. She has pale, swamp-green scales with cream-colored spots on her head, tail, underbelly, and the bottom half of her face. There are tufts of navy-blue hair on her head, back, and ears. Her eyes consist of yellow-gold pupils, black irises, and aqua sclera. She has off-white fins or tufts of hair on the sides and tip of her tail, along with a dull peacock-blue piercing on the tip.

In Vee's disguised form, her silhouette is almost identical to Luz's, save for clothing and hair. Her hair is put up and smoothed down far neater than Luz's is, with a noticeably thicker sheen. The top does not stick up to one side, as it is clipped down by hair barrettes.

In Vee's partially disguised form, she mostly resembles her disguised form, except she has her basilisk ears and eyes. There are two spots underneath each of her eyes, which resemble those of her true form, a spot on the back of each hand, a spot on the back of each ankle, and spots around her ears.

In "Thanks to Them", Vee changes her human form's appearance to differentiate herself from Luz — her hair is green with blue tips, resembling her fins, and she keeps her basilisk ears which blend into her hair. Her skin color is lighter, though still similar enough to easily pass as a member of the Noceda family. She also retains her basilisk eyes, but the sclera is now white.

In the epilogue to "Watching and Dreaming", Vee's human form has much longer hair, with light blue ends. Her basilisk form hasn't changed much but her hair is still longer and the hair on her back is lighter blue like her hair. She now has a nose ring on her right side along with an earring on her right ear, and the piercing on her tail is gone.

### Clothing

When she first assumed Luz's form, Vee wore the same outfit as her. Later on, she started wearing an air force-blue hoodie with darker cuffs, a mustard-yellow shirt underneath with a white collar and a pair of black buttons at the neck, Prussian blue leggings, and white sneakers with silver-gray laces and soles. She has a single yellow hair barrette on each temple.

When partially disguised, she dons a camo-green winter hat with cat ears and paws to stop people from seeing her basilisk ears and a pair of massive, yellow-tinted cat-eye sunglasses to hide her blue sclera.

After changing her look in "Thanks to Them", she now wears a yellow and orange striped sweater with a pumpkin on the chest, blue torn pants and brown boots.

In the epilogue to "Watching and Dreaming", Vee wears a red shirt with a half-earth/half-titan-skull symbol on it, tan pants, and a black jacket with gold buttons and rolled up sleeves.

### Additional features

Vee has nictitated membranes and a second set of eyelids that close horizontally in her true form, which manifest in her disguised form in times of stress.

## Personality

Vee is a good-natured individual, albeit rather insecure about her identity as a basilisk. Due to her past, where her only purpose was to be a test subject for one of Belos' experiments, Vee was troubled about her existence, and being a creature that should no longer exist, she yearned to find a better life with an identity to call her own. When she started living with Camila, she became more comfortable after shapeshifting into an impostor of Luz, easily deceiving her and others into thinking she was the real Luz for months. As the impostor, Vee is shown to be laid-back, opportunistic, and more toned down compared to the real Luz. Despite the deception, Vee did not favor subterfuge, as she did not wish to trick Camila and only did so to pay back Camila's kindness rather than taking advantage of it. She is fearful and timid of strangers and dislikes confrontation heavily. When put under pressure or in troublesome situations, Vee can be left petrified for an extended period of time.

By the time Luz returned to the Human Realm, Vee adjusted well into human culture, giving her the most common sense out of the group. She also gained a boost in self-confidence, for she was willing to confront Jacob Hopkins again, despite initial trepidation from when he imprisoned her before and even stood against Belos himself while he was possessing Hunter. However, she is still wary of humans finding out about her true nature.

## Abilities

### **Skillset**

* **Bilingualism:** Having lived with Camilla for some time, Vee has learned to speak Spanish fluently.

### **Unique Abilities**

* **Magic absorption:** As a basilisk, Vee is capable of absorbing and feeding on magic, however she has a limited range and must be close to her target.
* **Shapeshifting:** Vee is able to change her shape into anything she chooses, however, she needs magic in order to utilize the ability. As her reserves run out, it is harder for her to maintain her disguise.

## Trivia

* Prior to Vee's name being revealed, fans gave her the nickname "Creepy Luz". The name was derived from an interview with Luz's voice actress Sarah-Nicole Robles, when she described voicing "Creepy Luz" as her favorite moment in the studio.
	+ The description led fans to believe that the term referred to the existence of Luz's doppelgänger until Dana Terrace clarified that this was a joke response to the line "*Maybe I'll meet a hot yet vulnerable upperclassman*" from "The First Day". In the same post, she acknowledged (though did not necessarily confirm) the possibility of the doppelgänger theory.
	+ Character designer Matthieu Cousin unofficially referred to her as "Shadow Luz", as a reference to Shadow Dio from *Jojo's Bizarre Adventure*.
* Vee's codename, "Number 5", implies Belos created at least five basilisks.
* As shown in the letters from "Enchanting Grom Fright", Vee initially believed Luz's name was spelled "Lus".
