~ Luz Noceda


Background[]

Luz Noceda is a 14-year-old Dominican-American girl who wears a cat-ear hooded indigo-and-white T-shirt, denim shorts, black leggings, white shoes, and she has short dark brown hair and brown eyes. She is very quirky, outgoing, and unpredictable. She is a fan of the novel series The Good Witch Azura. She loves fantasy to the point of being detached from reality and has a hard time making friends. However she still does have a heart and good intentions. In the first episode of the series her mother sends her to a reality-check camp, but she accidentally ends up going to the Boiling Isles instead through the portal in a nearby house instead. Due to her love of all things fantasy and magical, she wants to become a witch. She soon becomes a friend of a small wolf-like demon with a skull-like head named King, and Eda's apprentice.

She later met new friends in the Boiling Isles like Willow Park and Gus Porter. But her biggest moment was when she met her rival Amity Blight at first the two are hostile but as time develops Amity warms up to Luz and soon becomes friends but little does Luz knows Amity has developed feelings for her. Later, Luz enters Hexside Academy as a new exchange student though she was saddened at first as she was only allowed to learn one type of magic at a time, and not combine different magic types. However with the help of the detention track students, saves the school from a magic eating Greater Basilisk who had disguised herself as the Emperor's Coven inspector, Principal Bump was convinced that mixing magics is not a bad thing, and therefore let the other trouble making students take more than one class, with Luz becoming the first student who is officially allowed to learn magic from all the tracks after.

Powers & Abilities[]

  • Glyph Magic: Luz is studying the art of magic under the tutelage of Eda. Since Luz, being a normal human, lacks the same magical anatomy that witches have, she can't perform magic with her bare hands; instead, she casts spells by drawing glyphs found within the spell circles witches tend to use. She is proficient enough to defeat an entire hoard of coven guards. After the spirit of The Titan passes on, Luz loses the ability to use glyphs. However a few years after, King discovers he has his own glyphs and agrees to teach them to her.
    • Light Glyph: This is the first spell Luz learned, discovering it on her phone while hiding from Eda in her cursed form. By drawing the glyph, Luz can create small orbs of light, or blinding flashes, depending on the size of the circle, as well as shoot a beam of lightning. Like fire magic, the spell is also capable of setting objects on fire and incinerating them before releasing a flash of light.
    • Ice Glyph: Luz found this spell in a snowflake at the Knee while trying to save Eda and the Blight twins from a slitherbeast. By drawing the glyph, Luz can create an ice pillar capable of catapulting people into the air and blocking attacks. She can also infuse weapons with the ice glyph to repel multiple enemies at once. This spell is the second spell Luz learned, and she used this to enroll at Hexside.
    • Plant Glyph: Before her fight with Grometheus, Luz experimented with plant magic. By drawing the glyph, Luz can make plants grow, ranging from flowers to pillars of thorns.
    • Fire Glyph: Luz discovered this spell during her grudgby match with Boscha and her friends. By drawing the glyph, Luz can create a ball of fire and set items aflame. She can use it to melt objects by simply activating the glyph near it without having to attach it to the object itself.
    • Invisibility: In "Echoes of the Past", Luz devised a combination of glyphs to become invisible, inspired by Lilith's history books. However, this spell only lasts as long as she can hold her breath.
    • Mist Spell: When mixing the fire and Ice glyph, she can generate a thick mist, that is capable of obscuring her from the sight of others. The properties of the mist can be altered through inserting different objects into it. For example, if sleeping nettles are inserted into the spell circle, then the mist will induce sleep.
    • Wind Spell: Luz's second glyph combo. This spell summons a powerful wind vortex, able to suck up small objects such as leaves. It can be a powerful anti-air attack if Luz mastered it. It is currently on it's testing phase.
    • Water Fountain: Luz's third glyph combo. This spell summons a water fountain in the center, though it isn't very powerful. Also currently on it's testing phase.
    • Petrification Spell: Luz's fourth glyph combo. This spell magically renders the body of the condemned into inanimate stone. Also currently on it's testing phase but it is uncertain if Luz herself will ever use this willingly.
    • Monster Hand Summoning: Luz's fifth glyph combo. This spell can summon a hand of a murderous monster seemingly made out of a regenerative mud-like substance. It is unsure if Luz herself will ever use this willingly.
    • Safety Hover: Luz can utilize a hover glyph to break falls from high heights.
    • Teleportation: After learning the glyph combination from Phillip Wittebane, Luz utilized the complex glyph combination to send her and her companions to the Head.
    • Glyph Enchantment: By attaching a spell glyph to an object and tapping the glyph or striking with the object, Luz can enchant that object with the spell. She has some control of how long it takes for a spell to trigger, giving her time to get out of range of certain spells like flames. In her clash with Emperor Belos, Luz demonstrated the ability to activate glyphs remotely by tapping Eda's staff, which activated three Fire Spell glyphs she'd left on the portal, burning it to prevent Belos from using it.
  • Bilingualism: Luz is shown to speak English and Spanish.
  • Weapon Proficiency: She is shown capable of wielding a toy sword and was able to defeat Adegast's puppets. Later, she demonstrated some skills with a flail while fighting Grometheus. Luz also used Eda's staff to fight Emperor Belos in "Young Blood, Old Souls".
  • Magic Durability: Luz wears a cloak made from Witch's Wool, a material capable of repelling powerful spells. Eda made Luz the cloak.
  • Drawing/Painting: She is capable of drawing with nearly anything, as seen in the Owl Pellets "Eda's Cursed Brush" (she uses random thing to draw), "Paint Scare!" (she was painting a background), and "Art Lessons with Luz" (she makes drawings good enough to fool Hooty).
  • Dancing: While fighting Grom, Luz successfully performed a perfectly choreographed dance routine with Amity, additionally demonstrating a very strong capacity to improvise as this was not something that she had likely rehearsed before.

Alternate Forms[]

Titan Witch Form[]

When Luz died at the hands of Emperor Belos she meets the spirit of King's Father. He gives the last of his life force to Luz in order to be revived and transform into a Titan Witch Hybrid albeit temporary. It grants her enhanced magical power as she can create magic circles without drawing Glyphs.

  • Titan magic: After meeting the spirit of King's father, he gives Luz the last of his magic. It fades away after Belos is defeated.
    • Sonic Shout: When possessing titan magic, Luz could generate a sonic shout.
    • Enhanced Glyph Magic/Strength Enhancement: In this state, she seems able to create any of the above glyphs out of thin air and use them with much greater power and efficiency. As well as enhance her strength to pull Belos from the Titan's heart.
    • Phytokinesis: She could create odd red vegetation that covered and destroyed Belos' corruption.
    • Flight/Shield Creation: Luz is able to make a magical barrier around herself to dash around at sonic speeds.
    • Enhanced Durability: When a boiling rainstorm appeared that weakened Belos to the point where Eda, King, and Raine could crush him, Luz herself was not harmed by its caustic properties.
    • Boiling Rain Manipulation: May have started the boiling rain that dissolves Belos' body.

Equipment[]

  • Owl Staff:
  • Glyph Cards:
  • "Snakeshifter" Staff:
  • Witch's Wool Cape: A stunning accessory that can deflect all forms of magic.
  • Stringbean the Palismen: This is Luz's own Palismen when she realized her true wish was to be understood. It hatches a Snake like being who can shapeshift into different forms called a Snakeshifter. When using her the palismen conjures a devastating purple magic of any kind.
