The Owl House Wiki

Season 1[]

Finally, you're back.
—Eda to Owlbert, "A Lying Witch and a Warden"
Eat you? Why would I eat... a potential customer?
I'm Eda, the Owl Lady. The most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles!
Ha! I won't let 'em hurt you. A human like you is much more valuable to me alive than dead.
This is the Boiling Isles. Every myth you humans have is caused by a little of our world leaking into yours.
Welcome to... the Owl House. Where I hide away from the pressures of modern life. Also the cops. Mm, also ex‐boyfriends.
Oh, look at us, Luz. King and I don't have much in this world. We only have each other. So if that dumb crown is important to him, it's important to me. And beside, us weirdos have to stick together, you know?
Ow! Oh, I hate it when that happens.
—Eda after getting her head cut off, "A Lying Witch and a Warden"
Not a breakup. Anyway, let's bounce before any more monsters fall in love with me.
Well, I could use a hand keeping this goofball out of the cupboards. All right. I'll teach you how to be a witch. But you have to work for me before you learn any spells. Deal?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, kid. Being a witch doesn't happen overnight. Also, you're wrapped in a bathrobe and wearing the dirtiest traffic cone I've ever seen.
Today you'll deliver packages and sell potions to that town over there, Bonesborough. You'll have to be careful. I have rivals everywhere who'd love to take my business down and you along with it. You wanted a dangerous magical quest? Sister, you've got one.
—Eda to Luz, "Witches Before Wizards"
Remember, never befriend a man in sandals. And always measure twice, cut once.
Oh, you guys talking about bad girls?
Ugh! Wizards are the worst. Never trust a man in casual drapery.
Look, kid, everyone wants to believe they are "chosen". But if we all waited around for a prophecy to make us special, we'd die waiting. And that's why you need to choose yourself.
Ah, nuts to you both.
—Eda to Luz and King, "I Was a Teenage Abomination"
Mm‐hmm. What's worse, they force you to learn magic the "proper" way. But magic isn't proper. It's wild and unpredictable. And that's why it's so beautiful. I didn't finish school, and look at me! Who wouldn't envy where I am right now?
No! WHY?! SCHOOL!!!
Ah, baby's first wanted poster. Good job, kid. Looks like I taught you something after all.
It sparkles and shimmers. It shines and delights. I must have it for my nest...
—Eda, "The Intruder"
I'm not teaching you magic tonight. I'm sleepy. I'm a sleepy little owl.
—Eda to Luz, "The Intruder"
I respect your cunning, but I also hate you for it.
—Eda, "The Intruder"
I haven't been completely honest with you guys. When I was younger, I was cursed. I don't know exactly how it happened, all I know is that if I don't take my elixir... Well, that's why people call me the Owl Lady. No one likes having a curse, but if you take the right steps, it's manageable.
—Eda, "The Intruder"
You! You're the one who cursed me, aren't you? Who are you??? Who are you?!
—Eda, "The Intruder"
Ugh! Please stop reading that. Its flowery language is an insult to witches and driving away all of our serious customers!
—Eda, "Covention"
I never joined a coven for a reason. Sure it's like a fun club for witches, but you're also giving up your magical independence to be part of a crooked system.
—Eda, "Covention"
Do you think all my wanted posters are for petty theft? Partly. But the big whammy is I disobeyed the law and refused to join a coven. If I'm seen, I could go to jail. Again.
—Eda, "Covention"
Watch closely, Luz. When you join a coven, all your other magic is sealed away. From now on, that kid will only be able to make illusions. Since I never joined a coven, I can do every kind of magic. That's why I'm the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles.
—Eda, "Covention"
Come on, kid. Time to prepare for bloodshed.
—Eda, "Covention"
Alright, Luz! Let's start your training. Now I'm coming at you with a blast of fire. What do you do?
—Eda, "Covention"
Boy, I hope you didn't make an everlasting oath to stop learning magic or anything. You'd be toast.
—Eda to Luz, "Covention"
Ah hah! Yes yes yes yes yes, you cheated! Perfect, prissy Lilith cheated. Hot dang I love coventions!
—Eda, "Covention"
You were defeated, don't get heated, get yo stank face treated! [rhyme one more thing. I DARE YOU!] Oh, it's okay, I'm done. BECAUSE MY RHYMES ARE DEPLETED!
—Eda, "Covention"
What? I don't know. And who's a true witch? These suckers? According to them, that means being in a coven, but I never joined one and I'm better than all of them combined. You gotta be your own witch.
—Eda, "Covention"
Woo, I win! In your adorable owl face. Ah, I love the feeling of victory. It feels... fluffy?
I know I should be repulsed, but that look is fierce.
Owlbert, you sore loser, give me back my cards!
Anyway, really going now. And Luz... if you mess up the house, I will never trust you again. No pressure! Byeee!!!
Witches eating babies is so 1693. What is this?
Say that again and I steal your tongue.
—Eda to Luz after calling her "motherly", "Lost in Language"
I love a good body swap. It's like demonic possession with the ones you love.
You can have it. Your life is pretty terrible. But, hey, it'll probably be over soon.
I mean, yeah, well... I don't wanna hear another word about Hexside, unless it's "Hexside is on fire" and "let's grab front row seats"!
I'm only doing this because I have faith in you. And I know you're too smart to fall for that One‐Witch, One‐Coven nonsense. You can learn a lot from the witches here. And maybe teach them some of that Bad Girl Coven magic too.
Oh, he's my palisman and we're bonded for life. I'd annihilate anyone who'd hurt him.
—Eda talking about Owlbert, "Escape of the Palisman"
Gross. Sympathy. Go! Go have fun at sport.
—Eda to Luz, "Escape of the Palisman"
The elixir... It isn't working on the curse anymore. This is bad. When did I swallow a swing?
Sorry sister, I'm stronger than you think. I'm here to save the Bloom of Eternal Youth from the likes of you. And I'm gonna get there before you!
—Eda to Lilith, "Sense and Insensitivity"
Stow it! Ugh, we might fight, but you're still my sister. And besides, if someone's gonna be putting you down, it's gonna be me. Ha!
—Eda to Lilith, "Sense and Insensitivity"
Ah. Well, nothing a bit of apple blood and a good book can't mend.
Wow, a surprisingly peaceful domestic moment. When will it be ruined?
Well, okay, but I've got a 60/40 record of making you re-appear. Oh! You meant... ah, never mind.
Luz! I should now teach you how to identify different types of snow- by taste! Go on, eat the snow.
You need to take me seriously. Go taste snow without my guidance, see where it gets you.
Hey. I know my lessons seem weird but this is what wild magic is all about! Making a connection with nature. The earliest witches understood that. Human witches need to understand it too.
Ugh, I hate garlic.
Hey, don't worry about what those dorks think. If you want my advice, walk into class and punch the first kid you see. To establish dominance.
—Eda to Luz, "The First Day"
Last chance to back out, and earn a new Bad Girl Coven patch. Quitting: It's like trying, but easier.
—Eda "The First Day"
You can't scam a scammer!
Round as the moon, her ears are, with mood swings as terrifying as night itself. Now, who wants to touch an outdated human reference?
Owlbert, you're lucky I can't be mad at your adorable antics.
Dumb kids? Wait... Those are my dumb kids!
There is one way, but it's terribly dangerous and partially illegal... so you're in the right place!
This is someone's brain, not a night club! Two max.
Ahem. If you need an interview, look no further. Interesting? I'm a bad girl living in a secret fortress. Noteworthy? I'm public enemy number one. Accomplished? I'm the greatest witch who ever lived!
—Eda to Gus, "Understanding Willow"
Ooooh, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna bake that bird in a pie!
—Eda talking about Hooty, "Understanding Willow"
Is that supposed to be me? Dang, I look great.
Luz, you always go overboard and I end up bailing you out. Now, what's the fun in watching a kid get eaten by a monster if it's my kid?
Oh, King. Teenagers are brutal. They'll boo anyone, and that kind of public humiliation can stick with you for life.
—Eda to King, "Enchanting Grom Fright"
Ugh. What do humans know, with your goody-goody attitude? If "cheaters never prosper," why was I the star player?
And here's when we took down Epiderm High in the semi-finals. Oh, I was the youngest on the team, but I had what some call "star power". AKA, this. This is my cheat box. I have all my best weapons in here. Smoke bombs, sock-worms... Mwah. You name it. Oh, I never lost a game with this bad boy.
Dang it, Luz! Your nonsense has gotten into my head. Well, time to do this the old-fashioned way.
Yes! Still got it! Still got the skills to pay the bills!
Hooty! Ah, you're a thorn in my side, but you always dig your way into my heart.
No! Jeez, you're morbid. I just kinda sorta, turn into the Owl Beast... forever. Ahhh, it's a fate much worse than death if you think about it.
—Eda to Luz, "Agony of a Witch"
Ugh. Go on, do the parallel arm thing...
You thought I was knitting a cake???
—Eda to King, "Agony of a Witch"
Well, she always had a good heart, but was impatient and always bit off more than she could chew. But despite all that, I think she's finally growing up.
—Eda talking about Luz, "Agony of a Witch"
Maybe it is the curse. But then how pathetic are you, that you can't best me at my worst?!
I AM BETTER THAN YOU!!!
Alright, kid, listen to me. I'm going away, and I don't know if I can bounce back this time. Watch over King, remember to feed Hooty. And Luz... thank you, for being in my life.
—Eda to Luz, "Agony of a Witch"
Ah. Where am I? What is this? Aw farts, I got caught.
No. Listen to me. I'm here because of my own actions. I went against Belos' law, and for a while I was able to get away with it. But... well without magic, I can't do much. I don't regret anything. I lived freely and... I got to meet you.
—Eda to Luz, "Young Blood, Old Souls"
I love you too, kiddo.
—Eda to Luz, "Young Blood, Old Souls"

Season 2[]

Hey, King, did you know that apple is a hat?
—Eda, "Separate Tides"
I don't need your pity. I was the most wanted criminal for years! You should fear me!
—Eda, "Separate Tides"
You think throwing your life away is gonna help me? Well, it won't. You helped me find King's crown when you barely knew me. You saved me from turning to stone and you even got me talking to my sister again. So, unfortunately for you, my life is pretty great, because I'm friends with Luz, the human.
—Eda to Luz, "Separate Tides"
Luxuriate in it. What, you don't like to luxuriate? There's a whole pile of luxury right in here.
—Eda to Luz, "Separate Tides"
Oh, I'm in a good mood. Who wants to get takeout and draw faces on Hooty?
—Eda, "Separate Tides"
Basics are so basic. Now if we want to be powerful again we're gonna have to start thinking outside the box!
I am your mother! You will obey me and die!
You aren't lying. You just don't know the truth. It's time for me to tell you how we really met.
—Eda about to tell King his backstory, "Echoes of the Past"
Oh, listen, she comes around every year, toting a new cure for my curse. But they never work, so I am done getting my hopes up.
—Eda talking about Gwendolyn, "Keeping up A-fear-ances"
Oh, baby, time to stock up on Mama's night juice.
Why? Why should I be calm? I have a right to be UP-SET!
—Eda before turning into the Owl Beast, "Keeping up A-fear-ances"
Yeah, there's no rush. Just know, what ever you need from us, we gotcha.
—Eda to Luz, "Hunting Palismen"
Everyone's leaving, huh? Even King. I guess I'm no substitute for the real thing.
—Eda, "Eda's Requiem"
I just, don't wanna hear him say it. You know, I was finally getting used to having people in the house, then whoosh! Rug's ripped out from underneath me.
—Eda to Kevin, "Eda's Requiem"
Is that any way to treat an old friend, Raine Whispers?
—Eda, "Eda's Requiem"
All right. Raine's rhapsody. You know, you can't run from your fears forever, which is why you've got to get the jump on them. Give them a whack right in the face.
—Younger Eda to Younger Raine, "Eda's Requiem"
Ha! Raine's Rhapsody, more like Eda's Requiem, am I right? I'll leave the playing to the professionals. Call if you need me.
—Eda to Raine, "Eda's Requiem"
I'm freaking out, Hooty. Belos is planning something big, and I'm weaker than a newborn witchling. If I wanna protect you guys, I have to train as hard as I can to get strong! No rest!
Me? Sleep? HA! Not until I can call myself the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles once again!
Now I thought these were a way to fight you, but… I think they're the reason we can stand here face to face. Listen, neither of us want to be here, but… we are, and there's no changing that. If we can't accept each other, this nightmare will never end. So what do you say? Truce? For now?
Wow. I've never had a dream this pretty.
Yeah, I hear you. I might be able to help. It won't be perfect, but huh, does it really need to be? Good luck kid!
Dang, Hooty, you really are something.
You know, Luz told me about a trip to Latissa where she met someone very interesting. "A beat-up blonde with no magical powers," she called him and these are her words: A bad but sad boy.
—Eda talking about Hunter, "Eclipse Lake"
Are you sure this isn't gonna like, blow our faces off?
—Eda to Luz, "Yesterday's Lie"
Just be careful. The human realm's filled with some real weirdos.
—Eda to Luz, "Yesterday's Lie"
She's made it this far, we just have to trust her.
—Eda talking about Luz, "Yesterday's Lie"
Who dubbed you a parent?
—Eda to Hooty, "Yesterday's Lie"
Yeah! When she meets us, I'll make sure to put on the charm… that turns people into obedient zombies.
Ah, it's just a fancy way to kiss the Emperor's... whatever. I'm just here to pick something up.
—Eda almost says a swear word, "Follies at the Coven Day Parade"
No. I'm not leaving till I get through to you.
Come on, Raine! I know when you're going easy on me.
So phony. He's just trying to distract us from his crazy utopia talk! Too bad it won't work.
—Eda talking about Emperor Belos, "Follies at the Coven Day Parade"
Me neither. What kind of jerk puts "The" in front of their name anyway?
—Eda talking about The Collector, "Elsewhere and Elsewhen"
Luz, I've got leg hair older than you. This Philip guy worked on his door for years. Try not to beat yourself up too much.
—Eda to Luz, "Elsewhere and Elsewhen"
Yeah sure, kid. Anyway, there are stories about these things called Time Pools. Mythical puddles that act as windows into the past, but they're never in the same spot twice. Me and Lily used to search for them. She'd say I forced her into it, but I think she had more fun than me.
—Eda tells Luz about time pools, "Elsewhere and Elsewhen"
Years! Yep, been years, I know. I'm, uh, just sharpening my tooth. Don't want Pops to see me looking all blech, you feel?
—Eda to Gwendolyn as she prepares to escape, "Elsewhere and Elsewhen"
It's not like I'm scared of him. I just haven't seen him since I ruined his- I mean since the Owl Beast ruined his- I'm just not ready, okay? Now move it. I gotta scram.
—Eda to King, talking about her father, "Elsewhere and Elsewhen"
Apologies, dearest mother. Dearest sister has flown the dearest coop. But worry not, for I, the perfect, prissy little Lily, shall find her for you.
—Eda to Gwendolyn while disguising as Lilith, "Elsewhere and Elsewhen"
Then stop! I've ruined your life. Have you even been able to carve a new Palisman since I attacked you?
—Eda to Dell, emotionally, "Elsewhere and Elsewhen"
Stop trying to forgive me. I don't deserve it.
—Eda to Dell, "Elsewhere and Elsewhen"
Did somebody say Bonesborough Brawl? I used to love going to those. Your pops was great in duels. Plus, if you go, you can get that ugly thing out of my house.
—Eda to Amity, "Reaching Out"
All right. Chill out, button eyes. Just answer me this: Heard any good castle gossip lately? Maybe something about the Day of Unity?
Dang! I didn't even have to offer to pay.
—Eda happy at Edric's eagerness to help her out, "Reaching Out"
WARDEN WRATH IS NOT MY- King, can you stop telling people that?
—Eda to King, "Reaching Out"
Don't you have family stuff to clear up? Also, I heard about the factory incident with Luz. I've got my eyes on you, Blight.
—Eda to Alador, "Reaching Out"
Are you kidding? Instead of making a blabber serum, you made a horrifying transformation serum!
—Eda to Edric, "Reaching Out"
Well, the side effects aren't pretty, but I can sell this. Illusions, beastkeeping, and potion magic? Keep it up, kid. You got a future in wild magic.
—Eda to Edric, "Reaching Out"
This is the story of how I met the coolest, baddest, kick-buttiest witch of all time: Raine Whispers.
—Eda to Luz, King, Hooty, and Echo Mouse, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
Yeah, sure it does! I-If it's a waxing moon, it's a 2-to-1 mix, but if it's a waning moon, the Blackroot Quills lose their umph, and you gotta double down to a 4-to-1.
—Young Eda to young Lilith, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
Take over the world together! Nothing can stop the Clawthorne sisters! Our rivals shall be CRUSHED beneath our feet! Even the Titan shall gasp in fear!
—Young Eda to young Lilith, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
Blech! Even the free junk is junk!
—Young Eda, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
Uh, no, I excel at functions such as these. Didn't you see how impressed everyone was when I faked my death? I even love the horrid liquids they serve.
—Young Eda to young Raine, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
Alright. I'm Edalyn Clawthorne.
—Young Eda to young Raine, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
Nah, I think I'm being too used to embarrass our vice principal. As if he doesn't do that to himself already.
—Young Eda to young Raine, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
It stinks, but, I've got a sister at Hexside. She's kind of my only friend. It'd be a bummer if that got taken away.
—Young Eda to young Raine, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
I'm not goin' anywhere! This is crazy! That plant lady is off her gourd!
—Young Eda to her teammates, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
Oh, you'll love it. It's got all the secrets. And since Terra spoke to Principal Faust, I can get away with pretty much anything! Mm! I've never had Apple Blood before, this stuff is good!
—Young Eda to young Raine, "Them's the Breaks, Kid"
Listen, Belos has been Emperor for 50 years. No one's gonna risk change unless you have proof that he's up to something.
—Eda to Luz, "Hollow Mind"
Bones, dirt, and muck! I don't have time to fail!
—Eda, "Hollow Mind"
Welcome to the Owl House, folks. Hope this place wasn't too hard to find.
—Eda to King's "family", "Edge of the World"
King, Hooty, you know what to do.
—Eda ordering King and Hooty to give Luz a hug, "Edge of the World"
Well, one thing's for sure. People can tell when you've been inside their head. It's only a matter of time before Belos sends his scouts over here. You need to hide.
—Eda to Luz, "Edge of the World"
Hey, no pity parties in this house. Besides, Luz is upset enough as it is.
—Eda to Lilith, "Edge of the World"
Hooty, you gotta stop eating garbage from the ground.
—Eda to Hooty, "Edge of the World"
Well, I say you two need a safe place to hide while the adults take care of things.
—Eda to Luz and King, "Edge of the World"
Oh, this is so much bigger than I imagined, Lily. I thought Luz was just some lost kid, but because of me she's wrapped up in this thing with Belos and it- it's just not fair. She and King are children. They shouldn't have to deal with this.
—Eda to Lilith, "Edge of the World"
Tell her what?! That we have no plan? That Belos is gonna win? That the Boiling Isles are doomed? [She sighs] The kids deserve one nice day before they realize how dire things are.
—Eda to Lilith, "O Titan, Where Art Thou"
Are you sure you wanna do this for a stuffed toy? Wouldn't you rather, oh I don't know, have a beach day?
—Eda to Luz, "O Titan, Where Art Thou"
Hold up! If we're gonna do this we gotta do it right. Belos isn't taking any more chances with us after your little trip into his mind. If we wanna stay alive we have to be inconspicuous.
—Eda to Luz, "O Titan, Where Art Thou"
