Luz first meets Eda Clawthorne, or the Owl Lady, who transforms into an owl-like beast she cannot control. She then meets King, a fox-like creature who later finds he has demonic powers. She is then enrolled at Hexside, a school that specializes in teaching magic. Luz was not accepted at first due to being a human, but was accepted later on. She then meets three students: Willow, a witch who conjures nature magic, Gus, a wizard who conjures clones and deceptions, and Amity, a witch who conjures slime-like abominations and (spoiler alert!) is Luz’s lover. 

Season 1 of The Owl House also showcased antagonist Lilith Clawthorne. Lilith is the sister of Eda Clawthorne, who was hell-bent on capturing her own sister until later finding out that Eda would be turned to stone as part of Emperor Belos’s plan to eradicate wild, uncontrolled witches and wizards. In the end of the first season, Lilith shared Eda’s curse, which allowed her to control her curse and eventually Lilith too.

In the second season, we follow Luz in her journey to learn magic, in which the audience learns that Luz is a lesbian, in love with Amity, learning that Belos has been planning for over 400 years to eradicate the Boiling Isles altogether and that Belos has been growing artificial clones he calls Hunter, named after his deceased brother who died while venturing in the Boiling Isles and died a mysterious death. Belos wanted vengeance against the entirety of the Island’s inhabitants for failing to protect his younger brother. In an attempt to stop Belos’ destruction of the Boiling Isles, King finds a disc that frees The Collector, a young kid capable of powerful magic, who yearns to have a friend he could play with. 

When an audience is introduced to characters for the first time, they tend to assume that the character’s first impression will stay with them for the entire season. In The Owl House, this is not the case. While Luz is the main character of the show, the character that changes the most is Amity, as she goes from being cold-hearted and negative about Luz to going into a relationship with her.
