emira blight

Emira Blight is a recurring character in The Owl House. She is Amity's older sister, Edric's older[3] twin sister, the oldest child of the divorced Alador and Odalia Blight, and is a student at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics. Though initially only part of the illusion track, as of "Labyrinth Runners", she is dual enrolled in both the illusion and healing tracks.

appearance

As they are twins, Emira has a similar appearance to that of her brother, Edric. She has pale skin, pointed ears, golden eyes, thick black eyebrows, a mole under her left eye, and long, emerald, green hair tied in a braided ponytail. Her face shape is also rounded off to a point. In "Reaching Out", it is revealed that both Emira and Edric use a concealment stone to hide their true appearances. Without her concealment stone, Emira has her hair down and unkempt along with spots of acne on her face. Her beauty mark also isn't real. In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Emira's hair is shown to be styled in a pixie cut and she retains a few zits despite continuing to use her concealment stone. For school, Emira wears the illusion track school uniform, which consists of light blue sleeves and leggings, covered by a gray tunic and a small darker gray cowl and belt over it. She also wears black flat shoes and a white pearl necklace. In Season 2, her sleeves are now skin-tight instead of open. As of "Labyrinth Runners", Emira's sleeves are now a darker blue, symbolizing her enrollment in multi-track studies for the healing track. Outside of school, Emira wears a long-sleeved dark gray shirt under a burgundy tunic with a green, diamond-shaped concealment stone in the center of her chest and a belt around the waist, gray shorts with burgundy cuffs, and the same black shoes from her school outfit. After taking shelter at Hexside, she wears a tattered Hexside sweatshirt over her uniform, the skirt being ripped in the same manner as Viney's and instead of flats, she wears heeled gray boots with purple toes. She no longer uses a concealment stone but keeps her hair braided and her left wrist is bandaged up.

personality

Emira is easy-going and friendly, but she has been shown to be an unpleasant prankster at times along with her twin brother, Edric. She is also quite rebellious and somewhat of a slacker, refusing to attend most of her classes and preferring to skip them instead. Despite this, she is fairly intelligent and a capable witch, having become proficient in both healing and illusion magic even before engaging in multi-track classes. It’s later implied that she and Edric became more attentive to their classes after engaging in multi-tracking, suggesting that her initial apathy toward school was partly motivated out of disagreeing with Hexside’s initial one-track-only curriculum. Though mischievous, Emira is also compassionate and sensible. While some of her and Edric’s pranks may seem mean-spirited at times, she is adverse to them actually hurting anyone. This was demonstrated when Amity mentioned that had become extra protective and nice towards her following the "library incident" in "Lost in Language", when their actions unintentionally endangered both her and Luz. She also doesn’t appear to hold grudges, as she didn’t bear any ill-will towards Luz for attempting to thwart her and Edric's plans to embarrass Amity and still considered her a good friend. Additionally, Emira lacks her parents’ elitist philosophy, tending to judge others based on their character rather than their abilities or status. Unlike her mother and (initially) her sister, Emira was immediately friendly towards Luz and didn’t look down on her for humans’ inability to perform magic, instead being impressed by her reputation and friendly nature. Additionally, she also lacks her mother’s vanity and stance on appearances. Despite near-constantly using a concealment stone to hide her true appearance, Emira doesn’t mind others seeing her actual appearance and will gladly dispel the illusion to help her sister or friends when they need it.

personality

Particularly, she and Edric enjoy embarrassing their younger sister, Amity, due to her standoffish demeanor. Initially, however, their teasing toward her easily came off as inconsiderate and cruel, to the point where they attempted to humiliate her by exposing her diary to the whole school. Despite this, however, she and Edric genuinely love their younger sibling, with their seemingly callous actions having been out of an authentic desire to help Amity break out of her haughty disposition and mature as a person. Subsequently, the two have both become much closer to Amity following her friendship with Luz, with Emira being particularly encouraging of her and Luz’s growing romance, having recognized the positive influence it has had over their sister. As the oldest of the Blight children, Emira tends to serve as a source of comfort and support for her siblings, and is always willing to help them when they need it. This has been shown many times by how she has often aided Amity during her adventures with Luz while also giving her advice regarding her feelings towards the human, and by always tending to her brother whenever he is injured. While she shares many traits with Edric, Emira stands as the more self-assured, mature, and composed of the two. She also has limited patience towards her brother, having at times felt exasperation over his antics and even at one point stated that her worst fear is spending the rest of her life stuck with him. Despite this, she loves her brother unconditionally and is always there to support him no matter what.
