Viney is a recurring character in The Owl House. She is a student at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics, and while originally in the detention track with Jerbo and Barcus, she is now in the healing and beast keeping tracks.
Appearance[]
Body[]
Viney has brown hair with four wefted bangs and a messy bun held together by a dark orange spiked hair tie. She has pointed ears, similar to the other witches of the Boiling Isles. She has green eyes with one lash on the top and one lash on the bottom; however, unlike the other characters, she and Jerbo both do not have a white shine in their eyes during the first season.
In "For the Future", Viney's hair has grown a bit, making her sport a ponytail instead of a bun. Her hair tie also has a chipped spike.
In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", her hair, which she still keeps in a ponytail, has grown to reach her waist.
Clothing[]
Viney wears a similar cowl to other students. However, hers is patterned, ripped, and held together by a large thumbtack. She has a fishhook earring on her right ear. She wears a gray tunic, and initially wore lighter gray sleeves and leggings while in the detention track. Her skirt is ripped on the side and tied together. After getting to choose her own tracks, her sleeves and leggings become blue and orange, respectively, to represent the healing and beast keeping tracks. Prior to this, she only had the former while part of just the Healing track. By "For the Future", her left knee is bandaged up while her right legging has been torn on the end, and she wears a brown scarf on top of her cowl.
In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Viney is shown wearing an orange shawl with a frilled maroon tunic, tan pants, and brown boots.
Personality[]
Viney is a laid-back and casual teenager with a certain degree of leadership and self-assurance to back her actions up, as shown how she seemingly takes charge while in the detention track. She is the first to welcome Luz in the detention track and takes the charge to show her the ropes. Just like her fellow detention mates, she is very eager to continue learning magic and even more so to combine two separate types of magic. She also appears to have a fondness towards animals, so much so that she owns a pet griffin, Puddles, and insists that she would make a great medical assistant.
Viney is also respectful towards people who take responsibility and stand up for the oppressed, as was the case when Luz took responsibility in front of the teacher overseeing detention. A direct corollary of this is that Viney can be easily offended by people who believe themselves to be better than her and her friends. She dismissed Luz from the group after overhearing that Luz felt that she was above her detention mates. However, her opinion was once again swayed in favor of Luz after the human girl convinced Viney, as well as Jerbo and Barcus, to help the school fight off the greater basilisk, because even if others treated them badly, the detention track was still invaluable.
Background[]
Trying multiple tracks[]
After trying to get into both the healing and beast keeping tracks and having her griffin, Puddles, smash through a chalkboard, Viney is placed in the detention track, along with Jerbo and Barcus. However, they stumble across a secret room that gives them access to the entire school which they use to study multiple tracks. When Luz Noceda is placed in the detention track, the three share their secret room with her. After Viney, Jerbo, and Barcus overhear Willow and Gus say that Luz thinks she is too good for them, an opinion she formed before getting to know them, they shun the human.
When Luz tells them that Hexside is in danger, Viney and the others rebuff her at first, but reluctantly agree to help. Upon seeing the basilisk, the four form a plan. They lure it to the auditorium and attack it, with Viney riding Puddles into battle. Once the basilisk is subdued, Principal Bump berates them for practicing multiple tracks, but Luz in turn condemns him for not allowing students to practice any type of magic they want. Realizing the error of his ways, Bump lets the detention track students study their desired tracks, and Viney is placed in the healing and beast keeping track.[1]
Joining the Emerald Entrails[]
When the Bat Queen brings palismen to Hexside to pair them with students, Viney is paired with a manticore after expressing her desire to become a veterinarian who treats mythical creatures.[2]
When Hexside has a club fair, Viney loses control of Puddles. After Willow puts together a flyer derby team, Viney is one of the students to join, along with Gus, Skara, and a new student, Caleb Jasper Bloodwillians. They play against a team of abomination students put together by Professor Hermonculus. Upon seeing Jerbo on the opposing team, Viney becomes enraged, mildly terrifying him. The newly named Emerald Entrails prevail, but shortly after their win, Caleb reveals that Viney, and the others will be drafted into the Emperor's Coven as Coven Scouts apprehend them.
As they wait in a holding cell at the police station, Hunter, who was posing as Caleb, tells them about the benefits of being in the Emperor's Coven when Darius Deamonne, the head of the Abomination Coven, comes to take them away. While he flies, Darius keeps the teenagers away from their palismen until Hunter comes over to the craft and causes it to crash. Viney and the others try to escape, but Darius halts them, only letting them go with Hunter's encouragement that they wouldn't be worthy for the Emperor's Coven. Afterwards, Darius reveals to Hunter that he intended to drop the students off at Hexside.[3]
Resisting a coven[]
As the Day of Unity approaches, Viney, along with other Hexside students and faculty are surprised when Adrian Graye Vernworth, the head of the Illusion Coven, comes to Hexside. He informs them that the emperor has decreed all young witches must be placed in a coven before the Day of Unity. Viney and other multi-track students are unnerved by the decree, but Adrian claims to side with the students and only wishes to put fake sigils on them. Just before Adrian is about to "brand" Edric, Gus realizes that the brand is real and reveals the truth to the entire school. After seeing multiple Coven Scouts and watching as the Head Illusionist tries to force him into the Abomination Coven, Gus creates a school-wide illusion, allowing Viney, the students, and the faculty to flee to the healing homeroom.
As the students and staff at Hexside are recuperating, Viney and Skara go out to find Gus and Hunter. They find Hunter unconscious and bring him to the healing homeroom. After Hunter tells the others that Adrian has Gus, the majority of the school does not trust him until Willow convinces them, recalling a breathing technique he demonstrated. She and the rest of the school fight the Emperor's Coven to get to Gus with her, and during the battle, Viney and Skara tear through the hallway with Puddles. Once the Emperor's Coven retreats with a vegetative Adrian, Viney and the rest of the students and staff at Hexside listen as Hunter explains the truth about the Day of Unity.[4]
Hiding from the Collector[]
After learning of the Draining Spell, Bump allows the staff and students of Hexside to camp out at the school during the Day of Unity. After the spell is activated, she and the students watch in horror as it affects the adults. After the spell ends, the Collector's spies come to the school to collect those present. While the majority of the students are safe, the staff and a few students are turned into puppets. In the following months, the school falls into anarchy after Boscha takes control, refusing to make any improvements on the advice of her advisor Miki.
A few months after the Day of Unity, Viney is shocked to find Luz, Amity, Gus, Willow, and Hunter have been found. She hugs Willow and asks for help after her orchids have become sentient and started a war with the kindergartners. After Amity convinces Boscha to save everyone turned into puppets, she joins the charge against Miki, really Kikimora in disguise, as Luz and her friends make a glyph combo to teleport to the Titan's Head.
Later that night, Viney and the other students returned to Hexside where they hid for cover from Belos’ flesh as it began encompassing the isles, after he successfully possessed the Titan’s heart. Fortunately, however, after a Titan-empowered Luz defeated Belos and removed him from the heart, the flesh covering Hexside and the rest of isles was stopped and began to wither away, saving Viney and everyone else. As Belos’ flesh crumbled to dust, Viney and the other students exited the building, with her gazing in wonder at the aftermath of the villain’s defeat.
Sometime afterward, Viney and the other students welcome back Bump, Cat, and Amelia, who had been restored to normal by the redeemed Collector, though she was briefly caught off guard when an emotional Boscha pushed her and several other students aside to embrace the latter two.
Epilogue[]
In the four years after Belos’ defeat, Viney joins Alador Blight’s team of researchers along with Jerbo, Raine Whispers, Bo, Emira Blight, and various others in searching for a way to remove Coven Sigils from branded witches. Eventually, on the day of Luz's eighteenth birthday, they succeed in removing an illusionist sigil from a branded witch, utilizing a special glove constructed by Alador which is powered by large amounts of healing magic, for which Viney and the other assistants provide.
Later that night, she happily attends Luz's belated quinceañera, surprising her alongside Puddles, Boscha, and the rest of the attendees. Soon after, she and the others watch in awe at the Collector’s lights show, before wishing the them goodbye as she cuddled beside Puddles.
Relationships[]
Jerbo[]
Viney met Jerbo in the detention track, having met from being placed in detention because of their desires to mix magic. They are established to be rather close to one another and work well as a team alongside Barcus.
In "Any Sport in a Storm", Viney calls Jerbo a traitor for being a member of the team playing against the Emerald Entrails in flyer derby. However, it is implied that she was merely joking and that the two are still on good terms despite Jerbo showcasing a considerable amount of fear at her reaction (as shown by the terrified look on his face).
When Adrian Graye came to Hexside announcing the decree that all young witches must be in a coven before the Day of Unity, they look at each other in shock and comfort.
Barcus[]
Like Jerbo, Viney is also friends with Barcus because of their desires to mix magic, and they are also shown to be good friends.
Luz Noceda[]
Luz and Viney first met each other when Luz was put into the detention track for mixing magic. Viney, along with Jerbo and Barcus, quickly befriended her and showed her the Secret Room of Shortcuts, relating to her because of her similar struggle to study under multiple tracks. Upon finding out that the human thought she was superior to them, Viney, Jerbo, and Barcus shunned her, no longer holding high amounts of respect for her. However, when Luz came to them with the report of a basilisk attacking Hexside, she convinced the detention track students to help her fight it and defeat it. Principal Bump, impressed by their teamwork and with Luz's suggestion, put them in multi-track enrollments. Viney and her friends are now back on good terms with Luz as of now.
Puddles[]
Puddles is Viney's pet griffin who also serves as her mount and occasionally fights alongside her in battle. Viney is shown to have a very loving relationship with Puddles, with the two being very affectionate and playful towards one another. Whenever Puddles is injured, Viney always serves as Puddles nurse, using her healing magic to treat whatever injuries she may sustain, for which Puddles will always repay with an affectionate nuzzle to Viney's cheek. Additionally, Viney often uses Puddles as her assistant during her studies of healing magic and while treating patients, considering to be a great help despite her destructive habits often causing a mess while doing so. This even included prior to being engaged in multitrack studies at Hexside, despite knowing that doing so would land her in the detention track, showing just how much she values her bond with Puddles.
Despite their loving relationship, however, Viney can find Puddles to be a handful at times, with her often attempting to restrain or calm her pet whenever someone unintentionally provokes her. During such instances, Puddles will often lash out at Viney and violently scratch her with her claws and tear her clothes. Despite this, Viney never gets angry at Puddles for her behavior, instead simply using her magic to heal herself after finally calming Puddles down.
The Emerald Entrails[]
The Emerald Entrails are Viney's flyer derby team. She is shown to be close to them, and because of their stellar teamwork, they manage to succeed at their flyer derby match and escape capture from the Emperor's Coven.
In "Labyrinth Runners", Viney and Skara find Hunter and bring him to the healing homeroom, showing that they still care heavily for their teammate. Viney and Skara also fight together in Hexside's battle against the Emperor's Coven, riding together on Puddles.
