Good Huntress Luz
As an energetic, peppy but rather socially awkward child often in her own world full of witches and adventure, Luz was unsure where to go next after a rather unfullfilling and uneventfull highschool... in the end, attracted by its diversified program, from more othodox subjects like history and biology, to classes on occultism and astrology; and by the location itself: Salem, Massachussets, away enough from Connecticut for a change of air but not too much far to remain close to family, she signed up for the Byrgenwerth University.
She was surprise to discovered that two of the most esteemed students, two brothers, originated from her own hometown.
It was during a challenge with other students that she discovered a decrepit crypt beneath the mansion of the campus; a tomb designed to hide a flask full of a strange, dense liquid... it was another challenge that made her drink the entire thing... and thus, the nightmare begin.
"Dang kid... I saw folk going crazy over some blood but this is absurd..."
Now transported into another world and infected with the wretched blood, her only salvation is also her wildest dream come truth: an infusion of Titan Blood and a spark of magic.
Under the wing of a mysterious old magic Huntresses living in a ghostly house, she's harmed and ready to get herself more Titan Blood and finally become the witch she always dreamed of... what's the problem if she'll have to hunt, kill and drain a bunch of monstrous creatures to do so? She has issues to work through after all.
"Look kiddo, you can't learn magic, you either have it in your blood or not... lucky you, we go crazy for infusions 'round here!"
The weapons of an Huntress.
The traditional way to hunt Beasts is with a combination of cold steel and firearm, in this case: a meter long serrated bat equipped with a mechanism that release the teeth turning it into a giant serrated whip, accompanied by a shotgun loaded with quicksilver.
All made by the Clawthorne Workshop, a once famous and higly sought after workshop that is said to be around since the Scourge of Beasts ever began and set off the standard for beasts' hunting all over the Boiling Isles.
The Workshop is now in ruin and abandoned... something Luz doesn't fully understand since she lives there and it's still operational, even if run by a single individual... it's also fair to say that her own mind often seems to not work right since arriving on the Isles, especially in the few occasions where she sleep.
"Dreams? Oh sure kiddo... you could say I'm 'livin the dream' right now..."
Soft rework/repost of my first Owlborne post, now with added text, a new sketch and improved framing to help it blend in with the Amity and Belos' post.
Mostly about Luz's specific journey with a soft lore for how Eda and the Owl House itself fits in with the world.

The garbage
What I imagine is that she was excluded by her classmates, her book was thrown into the garbage, and she felt very tired holding the book.

Maybe the real Beta Luz was the mom we found along the way...
(Seriously, imagine if a teenage Camila ends up being a dead ringer for Luz; She IS a predecessor and template for Luz in-universe herself!!!)

We’ve heard scary and intimidating beta Luz. A Luz that has been hardened by the world and has lost her sense of humor and dreams. But let me propose - levity Luz. Where Luz doesn’t find the portal until much later. Not until after the bullying doesn’t stop, and the distance between herself and her mom grows, and everyone around her has beaten her interests and confidence down until she has nothing left. A world where Luz goes deeper into herself, using humor to shield herself and refusing to let anyone break down her walls. A Luz that has all those magical desires, but they’re buried so deep inside they’ve almost been lost.

I feel like the fandoms characterization of the Beta designs are kinda what each character would be like if Luz didn't get to the Boiling Isles until later
Luz didn't get any friends and was sent to a camp that seems to be advertised as meant to turn you neurotypical by her own mother so she lost some of her light and became a delinquent
Amity just suffered even more abuse and pressure from her parents without any real friends so she just got meaner and angry at the world and angry at herself and just really wants to set stuff on fire
Willow continued to be bullied by her childhood best friend and stuck in classes that not only prevented her from thriving but constantly made her feel like a useless idiot and she built up walls and became more cold and maybe a little sadistic
And Gus is just fucking dead I guess?
