### Quote

"I was a nobody back home. But becoming a witch is my chance to be someone."

**Luz Noceda** is the main protagonist and one of the eleven main characters of the animated series, *The Owl House*. She is a human girl who finds herself transported to another world and learns to be a witch under the tutelage of Eda Clawthorne. She is Adriana Pendleton and Anne Boonchuy's best friend.

## Background

Luz is a self-assured 14-year-old human girl from Connecticut, who accidentally stumbles upon a portal that transports her to the Boiling Isles.

Upon arrival, Luz decides to make her dream of becoming a witch come a reality, after she befriends a witch named Eda and becomes her apprentice. This proves to be difficult due to Luz's lack of magical abilities as well as the local town's demons being very prejudiced towards humans which forces her to hide her real identity.

### Personality

Luz is a very excitable young girl. With a high fascination for all things fantasy and a knack for adventure, Luz is very outgoing and willing to hop into anything thrown her way. She sometimes has trouble looking before she leaps, but always manages to somehow land on her feet. In "A Lying Witch and a Warden", Luz describes herself as someone who enjoys "editing anime clips to music and reading fantasy books with convoluted backstories" while in "The First Day", her aura is described as "strong and silly like a baby's laughter".

### Physical appearance

Luz is a Dominican-American fourteen-year-old girl with tan skin, short, dark brown hair, and hazel-brown eyes. Her clothing consists of a pair of black earrings, a white-and-violet hoodie with cat ears attached to the hood, jean-shorts, dark gray leggings, and a pair of white slip-on shoes. Her nightwear consists of a light gray sleeveless top, purple shorts with an amber moon and star, and white-and-indigo socks. When attending Hexside School of Magic and Demonics, she wears the standard uniform but with multi-colored sleeves and leggings as she is studying all the tracks in the school.

Between the pilot and the actual series, Luz initially wore an indigo and white striped t-shirt and black capri pants.

### Powers and abilities

* **Magic:** Since Luz lacks any natural magical abilities and has no magic sac attached to her heart, she had to learn magic a different way. In "The Intruder", she learns that when casting the Spell Circle there is a glyph pattern that needs to be included. By drawing a specific glyph within the circle and giving it a tap, she can cast spells. After Eda and Lilith discover that combining glyphs can cast new spells, Luz started experimenting with different combos, expanding her magic.
	+ **Light spell:** Creates an illuminating orb of light and is the first spell Luz learns. To cast this spell, she needs to draw a large triangle in the spell circle with a smaller triangle and circle on top. Down the middle a long line with two smaller lines across, side by side in the triangle.
	+ **Ice spell:** Conjures ice. To cast this spell, Luz needs to draw a diamond with a line down the center, sat on another line across the bottom of the spell circle. A curved line must be drawn across the diamond and sometimes a smaller diamond is included at the bottom.
	+ **Plant spell:** At some point in "Enchanting Grom Fright", Luz learns how to create plants. To cast this spell, Luz must draw a plant like glyph.
	+ **Fire spell:** Conjures fire by drawing a larger circle at the bottom of the spell circle with a dot in the center. On top, Luz must draw a smaller circle with a curved triangle on top. Another curved triangle is also included on top of the bigger circle which goes over the smaller circle. Luz first learnt this spell during a Grudgby match against Boscha.
	+ **Invisibility:** Inspired from Lilith's history books, Luz came up with a glyph combination that turns her invisible. However, this spell only lasts as long as she can hold her breath.
	+ **Mist/Sleeping spell:** By combining the fire and ice, Luz can conjure up a mist. Also by including pollen from sleeping nettle flowers within the combination, she can create sleep-induced smoke.

	+ "Noceda" sounds like "no ceda (pronounced /ˈnəʊsɛɪdə/ *NOH-say-də*)" or "no cede (pronounced /ˈnəʊseɪdɛ/ *NOH-say-deh*)", which is Spanish for "doesn't give in", which describes her feisty, determined spirit.
	+ Together her name could simplistically mean "a light that does not go out".
* Luz is named after Dana Terrace's friend, Luz Batista, who works as a story artist and consultant for the show.
* In "A Lying Witch and a Warden", Luz states that she likes to edit anime clips to music. This implies that she is an Otaku, a person who is obsessed with Japanese culture, particularly anime.

	+ Luz is the first Disney LGBT protagonist, with previous Disney LGBT characters being side characters.
