WILLOW & HUNTER - TOH

Willow Park: Willow is a shorter-than-average, plus-sized witch with fair skin, pointed ears, olive-green eyes, and short navy-blue hair with a few loose strands and a few pale green streaks dyed into it which she wears with a leaved headband around it. She has a cardinal tattoo (as do the rest of her friends) on her left shoulder to symbolize the loss of Flapjack, Hunter’s old palisman who died. she is shown wearing an orange sleeveless top under a yellow tank top with a green logo depicting green intestines wrapped around the letters "EE", and a pair of dark green shorts with brighter-green striping. She also wears brown spiked fingerless gloves, a spiked kneepad on her right leg, an off-white sock on her right foot, and black, green, and yellow athletic shoes. Her glasses now have a different frame and are black once again. Willow is described as a bubbly and friendly witch. At first, she is shown to be shy with Amity, as she calls her "Half-a-Witch Willow", and often makes fun of Willow's poor capability of creating and manipulating abominations. Despite being childhood friends with Amity, Willow grew to resent her due to her selfishness and cruelty towards her, seemingly after gaining her magical powers before Willow. To get her anger out, Willow uses plants that grow huge and grabs any physical object in her way. If she does harm somebody, she is quick to apologize to them. Willow likes tending to plants and gets frustrated if she gets bad grades and when other students used to make fun of her, calling her "Half-A-Witch Willow". She is now in the plant track at her college, formerly being in the abomination track which discouraged her, but with Luz's help, she showed Principal Bump that she could be in the plant track.

Willow Park was raised by her fathers, Gilbert and Harvey, and was a close childhood friend of Amity Blight; much of her fondest memories often had Amity in them. However, Willow's magical powers developed later than her friend's, and because the Blight family only associated with the strongest witches, Amity's parents disapproved of their youngest daughter's friendship with her and threatened to keep Willow out of Hexside if the two were still friends. Left with little choice, Amity ends her friendship with Willow, claiming that she is too weak to be her friend. After that encounter, Willow grew to resent Amity, not knowing that Alador and Odalia Blight were to blame. Despite being gifted at plant magic, Willow's fathers enrolled her into Hexside's abomination track because of the opportunities the track provided. Unfortunately, due to her bad grades and inability to make a proper abomination, Willow detested her school life and was nicknamed "Half-a-witch Willow" by her classmates. It also didn't help that her former best friend, Amity, was the top student in her class and a mean-spirited bully. At one point, Willow met and befriended Augustus Porter after calming him down from a stress-induced illusion of his own making In the present day, she's convinced she is bound to fail her next assignment, but a friendly human named Luz Noceda meets her. Luz decides to help her by acting as her abomination; in return, Willow has to take her to see Hexside. Luz acting as Willow's abomination. After introducing Luz to Gus, Willow goes to her abomination class and presents a goo-covered Luz as her abomination. She not only gets an A+ for her assignment but also receives the top student badge worn by Amity. However, the latter begins to suspect foul play and angrily warns Willow that she intends to get the badge back. Willow is cautious of Amity, and she is almost caught when she catches Luz eating a sandwich during lunch. Because abominations don't eat, Amity thinks she has caught her red-handed, but she is instead sent to Principal Bump's office. Willow transfers to the plant track. At first, it seems like Luz and Willow will leave Hexside without getting caught, but Principal Bump, accompanied by Amity, wishes to see Willow's "abomination" for himself. Just as Willow is forced to start dissecting a still-living Luz, Gus manages to distract the principal long enough for the two to escape. Principal Bump seals off all the exits of the school and Willow is left feeling helpless, unable to help her new human friend escape. Luz, however, gives her a few encouraging words and pulls out a greasy slime ball from her pocket, and Willow realizes that the slime ball is a seed. Using her plant magic, she manages to dismember the abominations chasing her and restrain Bump, leaving only Amity to deal with. Willow helps Luz escape while she holds off the bully, knowing that her getting detention will be more favorable to Luz getting dissected. However, instead of detention, Principal Bump is impressed with Willow's plant magic proficiency, and he transfers her over to the plant track. She goes to the Owl House to show off her new uniform, and when it is revealed that Luz is banned from Hexside, Willow offers to teach the human what she learned at school. On the day of the annual convention, Willow and Gus show up to Eda's stand and show Luz a poster for the event. Though Eda is against her apprentice attending the event, she is forced to go after King and Luz torments her with The Good Witch Azura. In the convention center, Willow and Gus explain the various covens to Luz before excitedly entering the panel of the Emperor's Coven, where they witness a grand presentation announced by Principal Bump and Lilith Clawthorne. Willow and Gus are among the spectators during the duel between Luz and Amity, and later, Eda and Lilith. A few days later, Amity invites all her friends to an annual Moonlight Conjuring, except for Willow. Both Willow and Gus are upset about the news, but Luz offers to have their own Moonlight Conjuring with Eda's permission. Unfortunately, Eda refuses. Unable to bring her friends the bad news, Luz sneaks Willow and Gus into the Owl House later that night while Eda leaves for the Night Market. Since this is the trio's first time in a Moonlight Conjuring, they decide, at Gus' request, to animate an action figure. However, the trio unknowingly animate the Owl House instead. The trio realizes they can control the Owl House's movement with lunar magic and go for a short joyride, scaring Boscha in the process. Luz then suggests to the trio that they should return the house, but Willow and Gus urge their human friend to show off to Amity. Suddenly, the Owl House is captured by demon hunters, and the trio gets thrown over a cliff. While precariously hanging from a branch, Willow apologizes for letting Amity get to her and admits that she was once friends with her. Luz assures Willow that she too is a powerful witch and that animating a house was no small feat. Regaining her confidence, Willow uses her plant magic to free herself and her friends, fight off the hunters, and save the Owl House. The three manage to return the house to its original location, and when Luz is about to get punished by Eda, Willow, and Gus take responsibility for egging the human on. Their punishment is to clean the house When Gus attempts to sneak Luz into Hexside, Willow is cautious about the idea due to the banned posters Willow never let go of the resentment she held towards Amity, and the true extent of her anger would be felt by Luz and Amity herself. After the latter accidentally burns all of Willow's memories, she and Luz go into Willow's mindscape in order to find Inner Willow and repair the extensive damage done to said memories. While there, the two encounter Inner Willow, who tries to destroy Amity after showing them the birthday party that ended their friendship. However, Amity reveals the truth, showing Willow that her parents forced her to cut ties with her. Amity then vows to make sure Boscha and her gang never bully her again. Willow is well aware of what Amity did in her mindscape, and while the two have much to do to mend their relationship, they still forgive each other on more amiable terms from this point forward On Hexside's annual Grom Night, she attends the dance and inspects the fallen sludge of Grometheus the Fear Bringer with Gus. Upon poking it, the sludge turns into a ladybug, causing her to recoil in fear. She watches as Gus also touches it, and a clown emerges from it, which makes Gus run away screaming. As the grudgby season starts, Willow and her friends are bullied mercilessly by Boscha, the captain of the school grudgby team. Eventually, after Boscha dumps trash on Willow, Luz becomes angered and challenges Boscha and her friends to a game of grudgby, which Willow never played in her life. While Boscha accepts this instantly, Willow is extremely hesitant. She and Gus explain the sport to Luz, and they train but show little potential. Feeling too pressured, and with Gus' prized flags being broken, an upset Willow quits. However, she changes her mind after Amity tells her that Luz is taking the brunt of Boscha's torment, and the three decide to avoid calling off the match, playing with Boscha, Skara, and Amelia. Willow's team plays well and seemingly wins, but loses when Boscha catches the Rusty Smidge. Despite the loss and Boscha's bitterness, she earns the respect of the other Banshees. When Willow and her schoolmates travel to the Emperor's Castle for a field trip, she and Gus sneak away to help Luz take the Healing Hat, which would cure Eda of her curse. They find the room where the artifacts of each coven are kept, and Willow becomes intrigued by the Green Thumb Gauntlet, the artifact of the Plant Coven. However, their presence is detected by Emperor Belos, and shortly after, Lilith captures them. While she takes Luz hostage, she forces Willow and Gus to tell Eda of the situation After Eda is captured by Lilith when her curse takes over her, Willow and Gus watch in horror before rallying the crowd into protesting Eda's petrification. She and Gus then watch Luz rescue Lilith, Eda, and King from being petrified, and Belos announces that Eda has been let go per the will of the Titan A couple of weeks later, Willow, Gus, and Amity welcome Luz back to Hexside, However, the reunion doesn't last long, as Amity's parents force Principal Bump to expel Luz, Gus, and Willow for supposedly distracting Amity. They try to sneak back into school in vain, only making Bump more continually upset. Eventually, Willow's fathers find out about her expulsion and drag her home, where they decide to homeschool her. Later that night, Gus and Amity inform her that they need her in order to rescue Luz from potentially being killed at the Blight Industries demonstration, and with a little help from one of her fathers, Willow is able to sneak away. On the grounds of Blight Industries Edric and Emira disguise the three with cloaks, and they infiltrate the warehouse. While Amity is able to elude capture, Willow and Gus are restrained. After Amity saves Luz and gets her mother to stop the demonstration, she, Luz, Willow, and Gus leave and are allowed back into Hexside When Luz catches the Common Mold, Willow helps look after her and reinforces the Owl House's defense. After learning that an ingredient needed to make the portal door, Titan's Blood, might be at Eclipse Lake, she stays behind to care for Luz with Gus and Hooty while Amity, Eda, and King get the blood. She and the others get so distracted arguing about how to care for Luz that they do not hear her calling her for help. They bring her soup shortly before the others return. After Luz has a semi-successful attempt at building a new portal, she does not tell Willow or their other friends about the experience and they soon theorize about what Belos looks like behind his mask. Later that day, Amity comes to Willow's house for advice on what she should do with Luz, sensing that she is lying about what really happened with the portal, but not wanting to invade Luz's privacy over the matter. Willow agrees to help, but only if Amity braids her hair. When the Emperor reveals his face during the Coven Day Parade, Willow and Gus are underwhelmed by his appearance When Willow is trying to start up a flyer derby club at school, Gus helps her despite the resistance she faces from Professor Hermonculus as retaliation for transferring out of his class. They resolve this by proposing a match between their teams, with Hermonculus dead set on proving that Willow is a failure. They see a new student evading Puddles, and Willow asks him if he wants to join her team, to which he agrees. After Willow leaves, Gus tells the student, who introduces himself as Caleb, to not hurt Willow. Willow and her team get ready to face off against the Abomination students. After recruiting Skara and Viney for the match, they play against the Professor's team of abomination students and emerge victorious due to the efforts of Caleb. Caleb, in their victory, states that they should be called the Emerald Entrails, but also reveals they should join the Emperor's Coven, exposing himself as the Golden Guard, shocking him and the others. Just then, Coven Scouts arrive and take the Entrails into a holding cell until Darius can take them to get branded. The four students go with the head of the Abomination Coven when Hunter arrives to save them, causing the blimp they are in to crash and convincing Darius to let them leave. After Gus and the other students leave, Darius reveals that the Emperor's Coven has enough recruits anyway and that he is going to drop them off at Hexside. On the way back, Willow and the others run into Luz and Amity, who are shocked to find Hunter in the Emerald Entrails group photo With a week until the Day of Unity, Willow checks the Owl House to find it swarming with Coven Scouts. That day at school, the head of the Illusion Coven, Adrian Graye Vernworth, comes to Hexside, informing the students that Belos wants all young witches branded before the Day of Unity, also claiming that he will give them fake ones for protection. However, Gus sees through the ruse and reveals that Adrian is tricking them into being branded. When the Coven Head, who has brought Coven Scouts with him, is about to give Gus an abomination sigil, the boy creates a labyrinth-like illusion across the school that allows the students to escape. As Willow and Amity run through the halls, Amity learns everyone is in the healing homeroom, and she and Willow try to get there. Willow attempts to prove her strength to Amity by taking on the Coven Scouts in the corridor, but Amity wipes them all out, much to her frustration. Willow proving to Amity how capable she truly is. When they are close to the classroom, Willow demonstrates her strength and tells Amity that she can fend for herself before Bump signals for the girls to come inside. Eventually, Hunter arrives in the room, informing everyone that Adrian has captured Gus, but the students are skeptical. When Hunter demonstrates a breathing technique, Willow realizes that he is not lying, as she taught that same technique to Gus when they first met. The students and faculty make their way to the gym, where Adrian is holding Gus, and take out the Coven Scouts. Willow and Amity work in tandem to take out the captain. They enter the gym to find Adrian and two scouts trapped in their worst memories and watch as Hunter calms Gus down. After the scouts leave with a vegetative Adrian, Willow and the others listen as Hunter reveals the truth about the Day of Unity. Hours before the Day of Unity is set to begin, Willow and Gus go with Hunter to help Luz free the Blight children. After freeing the three, they head to Blight Industries to warn Alador and Odalia of the truth, and while the twins separate from them, Gus disguises the others as Coven Scouts. Things go smoothly until Kikimora, who is at the factory to take the last shipment of Abomatons, hears Hunter's voice, in addition to Odalia finding the children attempting to infiltrate Alador's quarters. Willow, Gus, Hunter, Luz, and Amity are placed in a forcefield, but Alador frees them and tries to warn his wife about the Draining Spell, only for him to fight her soon after learning she already knew. When Kikimora attacks the teenagers, Willow prepares to take her and the Abomatron out with plant vines but is forced to halt her attack after Kikimora uses Hunter as leverage against her. Soon, Kikimora takes Hunter and flies off as Alador destroys the factory. After Odalia retreats, the six commandeer the airship Kikimora brought and, as they are about to take off, Luz is revealed to be Hunter under the effects of Gus' illusions. Gus reveals that Luz told him to disguise her and Hunter as each other so that she would be taken to Belos rather than Hunter As they move towards the head, tensions flare, and Gus, Hunter, Amity, and Alador argue. Willow notions for the help of her palisman, Clover, who has the other palismen provide everyone with food, allowing them to take a break. However, the airship is soon attacked by Coven Scouts, and when Hunter is sent free-falling to the ground, Willow catches him on her staff. Eventually, the Coven Scouts damaged the airship beyond repair, causing a crash landing. While Alador stays behind to fight off the Abomatons, the children approach the head of the Titan. After checking on the Coven Heads, they fly to the portal and help Luz fight Belos, who has transformed into his monster form. Just as Belos gets the upper hand, the Collector saves the kids, smashes Belos against a wall, and ends the eclipse to stop the Draining Spell. Willow and her friends arriving at Luz's house. However, it is not without another consequence, as the Collector wishes to play "Owl House" with them. As they deconstruct the quarters and matter around the Titan's head, Willow and the others head through the portal to the Human Realm, seeing no other option left. Luz wishes to stay behind and rescue Eda, but King forces her through with his sonic shout. On Earth, the portal door closes, leaving the kids stranded with copious amounts of rain pouring around them. Luz then takes Willow and the others to her house, where they meet Camila for the first time. Camila welcomes her and the others into her home and invites them to stay as long as they need as she listens to their tale. Willow and Amity are placed with Vee and Luz in Luz's room while Gus and Hunter are placed in the basement. As Vee shows her and Amity an alarm clock, the witches misunderstand and destroy the clock, with Willow summoning a vine through the floor of a second-story room. Willow cutting Hunter's hair. In the months that follow, Willow and the other displaced Boiling Isles residents adjust to life in the Human Realm, with her taking up photography as a hobby. She and her friends make multiple failed attempts to return home. One day, she walks past the bathroom to find Hunter frantically cutting his hair and she helps him neaten it up. Willow and her friends finding a clue to get home. Shortly before Halloween, she, Amity, Gus, Vee, and Hunter are practicing Spanish in the Old House when Camila says she is going to pick up Luz from school. After Camila leaves, Amity suggests they need to do more to get home and Willow misinterprets the group helping out more around the house. After Amity gives a speech on the five looking for a way back without Luz, Amity trips in a hole Flapjack made and finds in the hole a map with pictures that the group decides to decipher. The following day, she, Amity, Vee, and Gus disguise themselves as humans and head into town, with Hunter staying due to him cosplaying as a character from Cosmic Frontier. She briefly flirts with him before leaving. Willow, Amity, Gus, and Vee after multiple dead ends in deciphering their map. The group searches the town for answers, even confronting a giraffe, but find nothing. After excusing their resources, Vee reluctantly suggests going to the Gravesfield Historical Society. She checks on Vee before entering, having heard of Jacob Hopkins from Luz, and they enter to find that Jacob has been fired and one of Vee's friends, Masha is now working there. Masha explains how their map is really a rebus before going to answer the phone. As they look around the exhibits, Willow, Amity, and Gus realize the rebus is leading them to Titan's Blood and, after taking a picture in front of a map, Vee realizes the blood is in Old Gravesfield. Amity then suggests they surprise Luz with the knowledge at the Gravesfield Halloween Festival and spend the rest of the night working on their costumes. Willow and her friends listening to the legend of the Wittebane brothers. At the Halloween Festival, Willow, Hunter, Amity, Luz, and Gus walk around until they come to the Haunted Hayride. The five listen as Masha tells them about the legend of the Wittebane brothers as she and her friends listen with unease. After the ride she, Amity, and Gus lose track of Hunter and Luz as Amity realizes the rebus is missing. Soon, Camila and Vee arrive and the group track the two down to an abandoned graveyard to find Hunter possessed by Belos and he reveals how Luz helped him meet the Collector. She, Amity, and Willow fight back when Belos attacks them and distract him as Vee tries to drain Belos from Hunter. However, he easily subdues them all and tosses Luz aside before breaking Flapjack. Willow and the others concerned over Hunter. Fortunately, Hunter regains control and throws the vial of blood into the water. He loses consciousness and Camila dives in to save him. Willow cradles his head as Belos leaves Hunter and uses the blood to open a portion. When Belos leaves, Willow is on the verge of tears when Hunter is still out cold and is surprised to learn he is a grimwalker. She and the others watch as Flapjack sacrifices himself and Hunter wakes up. Willow and the others tell Luz they do not blame her for the Day of Unity and she, Gus, Hunter, Amity, Luz, and Camila go through the portal and into the Demon Realm. Upon returning to the Boiling Isles, Willow is overjoyed to see the familiar flora, which greet her after Gus creates an illusion. At Hunter's insistence, they keep moving and find most of the Boiling Isles covered in pink mist. They go to The Owl House to find it coated in graffiti from the Emperor's Coven. As Hunter scouts the property and Luz and Amity talk upstairs, Camila speaks with her and Gus in the kitchen about how to talk Luz out of making a bad decision. After telling Camila about the time she stopped Gus from running away after failing a project because he thought he let his dad down, Gus starts to cry as Willow comforts him. As Willow and Gus go to check on Hunter, Camila asks her if she is alright, to which she lies that she is fine and walks away with plants growing where she steps. Soon, Hunter informs everyone he saw King flying on a shooting star, heading towards Bonesborough. Willow chasing after one of her dads, being held back by Hunter. When they arrive in town, they find it abandoned and avoid a wave of sparkles that comes their way. When it passes, multiple puppets of the town's residence appear. Willow sees Gilbert and runs towards him, asking where Harvey is. Hunter stops her and they hide. Soon "Eda" appears in her owl beast form and the puppets run. They watch as the Collector and King arrive and "save" the citizens. Soon it is revealed that Eda was actually Terra Snapdragon, who was turned into a puppet after, angering the Collector. As the Collector and King fly off, Luz decides to go after them before they are found by Skara, Barcus, and Mattholomule. Willow getting furious at Boscha for trying to offer her advice after bullying her for years. The group is brought to Hexside where they learn the staff and a few of the students were turned into puppets and the remaining students have been hiding in the school since then. Viney hugs Willow and tells her some of her plants have become sentient and gone to war with the kindergartners. After learning Boscha has assumed control of the school, they ask her for help in facing the Collector, but she rejects them after her adviser, Miki, says doing so would end in disaster. After failing to find support, they head to the photo lab to find the memory Luz has of Philip creating the teleportation glyph combo. After finding a picture of Hunter and Flapjack, she hands it to him. However, Hunter is upset by the photo and Willow leaves. As she walks off, she runs into Boscha, who insults her. Willow retorts back before Miki, really Kikimora in disguise, arrives and puts her to sleep with Sleeping Nettle. Willow letting out her frustrations as she breaks down into tears. Willow wakes up in a cavern where Hunter and Gus find her. However, due to the stress she is containing and Boscha's words lingering in her mind, Willow loses control of her powers and almost kills Gus and Hunter. As she tries to fix it, Willow eventually gives in to Boscha's words until Hunter, who was gifted with Flapjack's teleportation powers when resurrected, breaks free and tells Willow it is okay to rely on others for support. She breaks down into tears and cries for her fathers when Hunter teleports her and Gus out of the cavern. They inform him of his powers as Luz, whose palisman is forming, unintentionally unleashes an energy blast. Willow taking on Kikimora. Soon, Kikimora arrives and she and the others fight her as Luz draws the glyph combo. When the students of Hexside arrive to help them out, she, Gus, and Amity help Luz and they teleport to the Head. As they celebrate their victory, Luz introduces the group to her palisman, Stringbean. She thanks Hunter for snapping her out of her funk and they interlock pinkies. Unbeknownst to them, the Collector is watching them. Suddenly, the platform they are on begins to shake and she, Camila, Amity, Gus, and Hunter are separated from Luz and turned into puppets. Willow, Amity, Hunter, and Gus' puppets are used to torment Luz in a dream, manipulated into blaming her for everything. However, Luz snaps them out of it and they are brought to the Archive House. Willow and the others in the Archives. After being placed in the Archives, Amity manages to move and creates a light glyph to free her and the others. They look around to find everyone they know as puppets. After Luz sacrifices herself, they watch as Camila returns to normal. As Belos possesses the Titan, she and the other teenagers try and fail to utilize their magic as they are exhausted and Camila gives them a pep talk. Willow saving Amity from falling debris using a fire glyph. After Luz is resurrected and fights Belos with King and Eda, she, Hunter, Gus, and Amity use glyphs drawn by Camila to save the puppets. As the Archive House starts to fall, they watch in amazement as the Collector helps hold it in place. Willow joyfully reunites with her fathers after months apart. When Belos is defeated, she and the others thank the Collector for helping and they work with him to revert the citizens of the Boiling Isles to normal. Afterward, Hunter helps Willow find her dads. Upon seeing them, she jumps in their arms and watches as her fathers share a kiss. In the four years that follow, Willow continues to play flyer derby and has entered a relationship with Hunter. She and Hunter collect their friends to surprise Luz with a delayed quinceañera. As they watch the Collector put on a light show, she is pulled in by Hunter for a half hug and they watch as they embrace each other.

Hunter (no last name): Hunter, like the many Golden Guards before him, was created with the likeness of Belos' late older brother, Caleb Wittebane, and Inner Belos states he is the closest to his likeness of any grimwalker Belos created. He is a humanoid boy sharing the physical characteristics of a witch, such as pointed ears. He has a fair complexion, a slightly hooked nose, brown eyes, thick black eyebrows, a gap between his front teeth, and ash-blond hair, with a long, jagged forelock. He has a notch on his left ear and scars on his right cheek, upper left arm, two overlapping on his right kneecap (forming an X-shape), and one on his left calf, and some tissue scarring on the face. A tattoo of Flapjack on his right wrist. He is described as scrawny by Amity in "Eclipse Lake", although he has a larger build compared to characters like Luz, possibly because he is slightly older than them. Hunter wears a dark blue collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up, light brown pants, an orange apron, and red sneakers with yellow lighting patterns across them. The apron features two pockets, one smaller on the torso and one larger at the waist, along with multiple sewn-on patches; a purple patch with the abomination symbol, a light blue patch with the illusionist symbol, and a yellow patch with the logo of the Emerald Entrails. During his time as the Golden Guard, Hunter acted authoritative and confident in the persona, while praising and advocating for the cause of Emperor Belos. He was, however, more laid-back and easygoing than Emperor Belos, being sometimes comedic and snarky in his dialogue. Despite his high-ranking position and upper-class status, he never takes advantage of his power for personal gain, only using his authority when ordered by Emperor Belos himself. He showed deep respect and love towards Belos, yet quite a bit of hubris and egotism towards anyone else, which earned him the dislike of many of his compatriots. Lilith describes Hunter as a brat who is well renowned within the Emperor's Coven and would always receive special treatment for being a "genius teen prodigy" He was, however, an opportunist who was willing to use blackmail or extortion to manipulate others, offering to let Eda and Luz go in exchange for slaying the Selkidomus, and then threatening to kill King when they refuse to do so. Whether this is due to pragmatism or simply laziness is hard to say, but having said that, he does give Luz a sword and does indeed let them go after he believes the job is done. Seeing as it was not done (and Eda is well-known as a con artist) might suggest some naivety on his part. Despite trying to be serious in his job, Hunter shows a bit of desire for fun, such as when he starts messing with King while waiting for Eda and Luz to return Although he tries very hard to please his uncle by doing well at his job, his desire to be competent with tasks also comes from fear, choosing to sulk after he fails to find the Titan blood Belos was requesting. After seeing the portal key around Amity's neck, he attempted to steal it from her and threatened both her and Luz when the two were caught in a deadlock. Despite this, he was genuinely appreciative when Amity complied, showing that it was done out of desperation rather than malice. Regardless of his laid-back persona, Hunter was easily annoyed when things didn't go his way, as seen with his early interactions with Luz. He also seemed to have a fascination with wild magic, and despite his loyalty to Belos and his cause, he still expressed his interest in it towards Luz. In addition, he also possessed a hidden softer side, as he was sickened by the apparent slaying of the Selkidomus as well as being visibly affected by Luz's words when he tried to double-cross her. His softer side grew more prominent later on after bonding to his first palisman, Flapjack, not only starting sympathize for him but all the other palismen who had to die for Belos. He was very loyal to Belos at first, even worrying about the condition of his "uncle" whenever Belos transformed. He occasionally offered alternatives to help Emperor Belos with wild magic, but also feared his reaction to the mere mention of it. However, his loyalty was not absolute; he continually wondered why Emperor Belos had such a strong hatred for wild magic, but was always discouraged or even threatened by Belos whenever he brought up the thought. In addition, Hunter did not want to hand over Flapjack to Emperor Belos after the bird chose him as a partner Even though he was committed to Belos and his supposed purpose as the Golden Guard, Hunter appears to be very insecure about himself. Ever since his failed mission to find palismen for Belos, Hunter showed signs of anxiety towards the idea that Belos would replace him and was desperate to get back in his good graces. When he failed to find any more Titan's Blood, Hunter began to suffer a mental breakdown and chose to lie in a grave rather than return empty-handed, showing that deep down, he fears Belos and the idea of what he'd do to him if he were to fail a second time. Due to being sheltered all his life by Emperor Belos, Hunter's social skills were extremely poor when interacting with others outside of the Emperor's Coven, having no comprehension on how to associate with others his own age. This made it difficult for him to socialize with students at Hexside while attempting to gather recruits for the Emperor's Coven, with him being dumbfounded and horrified by both their independent thinking and disinterest in joining the coven's ranks. This social ineptness also gave him a very limited grasp on how to have fun and understanding others' feelings, as he initially associated fun activities with Belos' brutal training methods for coven scouts and was unable to comprehend why others his age would object to joining the Emperor's Coven despite having to be separated from their families and essentially become prisoners After befriending the Emerald Entrails, however, particularly Willow and Gus, Hunter's character and beliefs gradually began to change. During his membership on the team, his time amongst them allowed him to experience his first genuine instances of having fun and connecting with other witches his age, causing him to better understand and appreciate the notions of friendship and camaraderie. This was emphasized when, after coming to recognize the danger he placed his teammates in by handing them over to the Emperor's Coven, Hunter risked his life to help them escape from Darius' airship, despite doing so technically going against Belos' will and placing his status as Golden Guard in jeopardy. Since then, Hunter's social skills gradually improved, as he slowly became more independent and open towards others, despite remaining loyal to Belos. During his and Luz's time in Belos' mind, however, Hunter's beliefs would be completely shattered after learning the terrible truth of the Golden Guard lineage, Belos' evil nature and goals and that the life he was raised in was all a lie. This sent Hunter into a period of trauma and depression, in which he lost much of his previous confidence and became increasingly paranoid and sullen as he struggled to come to terms with the awful truths he learned. Additionally, Hunter's fear of Belos dramatically increased to the point where he would suffer severe panic attacks at the mere thought of being brought to him after learning the emperor had been looking to capture and terminate him. Additionally, after learning that he is a grimwalker, Hunter became deeply insecure about his true nature and began suffering an existential crisis over his identity and place in the world. This left him questioning whether he was truly a witch or really human, and deeply uncertain of his individuality; whether he was his own person or simply a copy of someone else. Despite this, Hunter's kinder, selfless traits gradually came out more following his ordeal in Belos' mind. After accepting his life was a lie, Hunter promptly abandoned his loyalty to Belos, to the point where he risked being captured to protect his friends at Hexside from being forcibly branded with coven sigils, before officially joining the fight against the emperor and his genocidal plans for the Day of Unity. After joining the resistance, however, Hunter became much more humble, caring, and supportive as he regained his former confidence and determination, though no longer to the point of arrogance. Additionally, as his bond with his friends grew stronger, Hunter became deeply devoted to and protective of them, showing that he maintained his strong sense of loyalty though not in the same blindly devoted manner as his previous allegiance to Belos. Despite this, he remained deeply secretive regarding his insecurities, particularly about being a grimwalker, out of shame and fear that his friends would reject him for being the clone of a former witch hunter. In spite of these lingering emotional insecurities, Hunter's personality tremendously improved during his and his friends' time stranded in the Human Realm, becoming much more cheerful, enthusiastic and somewhat geeky, as he came to enjoy his newfound freedom from Belos' control. Additionally, Hunter also possessed a deep fascination and fondness for many customs and features of the Human Realm, including sewing, wolves and especially the Cosmic Frontier science-fiction series, of which he became a fan of. Sadly, this newfound happiness ended when Flapjack sacrificed himself to heal the fatal injuries Hunter sustained from being possessed by Belos, leaving him grief-stricken over the loss of his beloved palisman and first friend. His struggle to process his grief made him increasingly bitter and short tempered, much like how he was as the Golden Guard. This resulted in him becoming cold and distant towards his friends, to the point of furiously snapping at them whenever irritated or reminded of Flapjack. In addition, after returning to the Demon Realm, Hunter completely abandoned his traumatic fears of Belos, replacing them with a deep-seated hatred and strong determination to destroy Belos to avenge Flapjack's death. Fortunately, over the course of their return to the Demon Realm, Hunter was slowly able to recover from Flapjack's loss through the support of his friends. A major catalyst of his healing was when they revealed their awareness of him being a grimwalker and voiced their acceptance of him regardless. This not only allowed Hunter to finally make peace with his origins, but also recognize how his anger had distanced himself from his friends, allowing him to finally open himself up to them and make amends. In doing so, he was able to overcome his bitterness and hatred for Belos, coming to prioritize the safety of both his friends and innocent lives more than getting revenge In the four years after Belos' destruction, Hunter has become increasingly mature, patient and happy, now being able to enjoy the life of a palisman carver, forever freed from Belos' toxic control and influence. Since then, Hunter has shown himself to be much more temperate and open towards others, no longer being afraid of receiving affectionate physical contact and finally entering into a relationship with Willow. In addition, he has also come to terms with and moved on from Flapjack's death, exemplified by how he has affectionately bonded to Waffle as his new palisman, while also continuing to honor Flapjack's memory in reverence for his first true friend.
