Other Characters: N/A

Character Name: Edalyn Clawthorne, or Eda for short
Canon: The Owl House
Canon History: hey hey wiki

Canon Personality:

  • REBELLIOUS: Eda is as chaotic as they come, having been an infamous prankster at Hexside, one of the Boiling Isles’ magic schools. Her permanent record is thicker than most books. As an adult, she is a wanted criminal for refusing to submit to the mandatory coven system, as it restricts people to performing only one kind of magic and Eda isn’t about that. Also petty crimes like theft and running get-rich-quick-schemes that never quite seem to work out, seeing as she’s not exactly swimming in it. In general, she detests authorities of any kind, preferring to do things her own way. This even manifests when she is trying to learn glyph magic from Luz, as she declares learning the basics “boring” and proceeds to do wild and hazardous experiments. Basically, Eda is a fully grown adult who will absolutely blow raspberries at you if she doesn’t like your face.

  • CARING: Despite that, however, Eda also has a big huge heart and more than a little bit of a maternal instinct. While shenanigans are often had, Eda will generally try to keep the kids in her care out of actual danger if she can help it, and her arc over the series also sees her becoming more responsible and *gasp* making to-do lists because a kid needs a new coat or something like that. She makes a surprisingly good parent figure, as exemplified by, among others, that time she got over her personal deep disdain for the school system and did everything in her power (which included cleaning toilets) to get Luz enrolled at Hexside. And despite her often antagonistic relationship with her sister Lilith, Eda still loves her and is quick to forgive Lilith for putting her actual curse on her when they were young – while at the same time blaming herself for the ways she’s hurt her loved ones due to said curse.

  • ANXIOUS: Listen she talks a big game but there are quite a few things that scare Eda. Mostly, that’d be her own emotions. Due to her curse, she is scared to get close to people and has a habit of pushing them away and putting on a carefree façade in a bid to keep herself from going into the ~DANGER ZONE~ of actually caring about someone. And when she does get attached, the fear of losing said people looms over her. She also has a big tendency to run from her problems and pretend she’s fine when she is definitely not.

  • BOISTEROUS: Eda likes to brag! Be it about her skills in cheating at sports and games, her magic abilities, or how hot she is, Eda is often heard making quite grandiose claims about herself. Luckily for her, she can back many of them up. For example, she gave herself the title of Most Powerful Witch of the Boiling Isles and, barring Emperor Belos, that appears to be true… well, until she loses her magic to her curse, that is.




AU History: Eda was born to a lower middle class family consisting of father Dell, mother Gwendolyn, sister Lilith and her. She showed a penchant for getting into trouble early, and as time went on, became an open delinquent who constantly caused chaos at school, despite occasionally getting good grades and being a star football player. She spent a lot of time in detention.

As time went on, Lilith entered a bit of a goth phase, getting interested in the occult and witchcraft. Being very close to her sister, Eda took interest in the same and soon discovered that she had actual spirit power. She started to experiment with spells and potions on the sly.

Things went wrong when one day, when she was at home, a blast of unknown magic suddenly grabbed Eda, almost killing her. It was then that la Lechuza took possession of her, saving her life, but also, well, possessing her. Eda never found out where the blast came from, but since then, la Lechuza comes out and takes control of her in stressful situations and Eda can only bargain with her by eating small rodents every so often. Reactions in her family differed; her father was mostly absent anyway, while her mother became overprotective of Eda and started looking into about every alternative medicine and MLM scheme available. Eda’s relationship with her mother became very strained in the process, causing her to run away from home at one point, though she eventually returned.

In high school, she met Raine Whispers, whom she became fast friends with and eventually dated for a while. Raine broke it off when it became clear that, unlike them, Eda had not really figured out her direction in life, and furthermore was trying to hide her possession from them and emotionally pushing them away in the process.

Having had a contentions relationship with education at best and being impacted by her possession, the breakup was about the last push Eda needed to drop out of school shortly before graduating. She moved out of her family home and started supporting herself with odd jobs, not all of which were legal. Among her crimes are fraud and larceny, but she’s covered her tracks well enough that the police can’t pin anything on her, though they try every so often.

As of the present, she runs a small store with antiques and occult items of questionable origin.

AU Personality Differences: She’s maybe not quite as boastful, as she does not have reason to claim the title Most Powerful Witch of the Boiling Isles, but otherwise pretty much the same. Her hatred of the Coven System is transferred onto Zodiac in-game. She might also be a little less warm, as she has not met King or Luz and thus her strong motherly side lies dormant.

Element: Wind
Purchased Powers: I would like “make objects you can hold in your hands float” for 2 points and “don’t need hairspray to make your hairstyle wind resistant” for 1 point!
Possession: She is possessed by la Lechuza, a witch in the form of an owl or owl-woman from Mexican folklore. Her contract price is having to eat small rodents every so often.
