This is for Pyperhaylie art jam Twelve Days of Kinkmas 2023 (I know a bit late, but my life is hectic). We have Lilith Clawthorne and Odalia Blight representing Naughty and Nice. Why the bikini? Because she looks good.
Lilith Clawthorne is a supporting character in The Owl House. She is Eda's older sister and the former leader of the Emperor's Coven.
.Unlike Eda, Lilith is conservative, straight-laced and generally law-abiding. She takes great pride in her role as a mentor and was initially surprised to see Eda at the latest Covention, believing she had finally decided to join a coven only for her sister to laugh at the notion. She also has a tense sibling rivalry with Eda due to them being almost equal in terms of power and on opposite sides of the law; regardless, she still genuinely cares for Eda.
Though first appearing to be everything her sister is not, Lilith is also not above cheating, having given her apprentice Amity Blight a glyph to amplify her magic, knowing full well her sister would do something similar (although it could be argued that she was leveling the playing field). In "Agony of a Witch," she proves willing to do anything to achieve her goals such as attempting to distract Eda by endangering her student Luz Noceda and cursing Eda when she was younger. She later explains to Luz that she was acting on Emperor Belos's teachings of sacrifice (given this is Belos's teachings it's unlikely she is misinterpreting his teachings so much as that is what he teaches). Lilith admits her jealousy stems from feelings of inadequacy, lamenting that she had to become stronger because Eda was better. However, despite this, she shows guilt and everything she did was in an attempt to save Eda. She is also shown to be quicker to anger and more impulsive and naïve compared to her sister, firmly believing Emperor Belos's promise to remove Eda's curse.
Lilith also seems to suffer from a severe lack of empathy towards others. She was unable to realize that cheating would hurt Amity emotionally, nor she seemed to care, and easily dismissed Luz as just a "human pet" to Eda, not seeing the strong bond the two share. Perhaps the biggest examples of this are her constant attempts to make Eda join the Emperor's Coven, either not seeing or caring that Eda just doesn't want to be part of the Coven, or even after taking Luz as a hostage, thinking that Eda will change her mind about the Coven upon joining. This also shows a somewhat self-centered side, holding on so strong to her way of thinking that she refuses to accept others'.
However, in spite of these flaws, Lilith is capable of seeing the error of her ways and will admit it. When Belos revealed that he had no intention of curing her, she rebelled against him and turned to Luz in order to save her sister, having realized that Eda was right about not trusting Belos. She also proved herself to be able to atone for her mistakes, as after she, Luz King rescued Eda, she cast a spell that shared Eda's curse to make amends.
.
After leaving the Emperor's Coven, Lilith has been trying hard to prove to Eda that she is trustworthy. Initially, she felt useless without a Coven, but after befriending Hooty, she has a more positive outlook on her new life. She now enables her sister's trouble making personality, encouraging her to pull pranks on the Emperor's troops, even if she still prefers to follow the rules herself. Lilith has also become much more empathetic and caring towards others, like Hooty, but still retains her prideful nature, stating that Emperor Belos' guards are clueless without her.
Odalia Blight is an antagonistic character in The Owl House. She is the former CEO of Blight Industries, the wife of Alador, and the mother of Edric, Emira and Amity.
A scheming, greedy, mean and tyrannical woman, Odalia held a controlling grasp on the interests of her employees and every other member of the Blight family, playing a role that emboldened them with high expectations to vicariously satisfy Odalia's ambitions.
In order to obtain more influence, she colluded with Emperor Belos, supplying him an army through her company in a flawed attempt to ensure her family's survival during the Day of Unity. This revelation ultimately causes her family to sever all ties with Odalia, leaving her to depart with them on bitter terms. After the Day of Unity, she aligns with the Collector in an attempt to manipulate him, only to be reduced to a mere servant.
As a businesswoman, Odalia is a controlling woman whose haughty and elitist thinking makes her a domineering influence on anyone around her, including her family. She is shown to be highly concerned about her family's reputation to the point where she'll interfere with her children's personal lives and opinions to ensure they stay in line, even silencing her own children when they wish to speak their mind on the matter. This is evident by how she uses her oracle magic to telepathically keep Amity in line via matching amulets that allow Odalia to directly speak to Amity in her mind. Additionally, it was Odalia who forced Amity to end her friendship with Willow due to her weak magical abilities and lower social status, making her be "friends" with Boscha and Skara instead since they came from more respectable families.
Odalia claims to be an honorable woman, always reciting her family's motto, but in actuality, has proven to have every intention of going back on her word on numerous occasions, showing nothing but hypocrisy on her part. When something doesn't end up going as she planned, she has to be told how it can potentially benefit her. Not only underhanded, Odalia has a duplicitous side in how she offered to let Luz, Willow, and Gus back into Hexside if Luz assisted her and her husband with a demonstration of their company products, but it was revealed to have actually been a plot to eliminate Luz completely. She is also quite greedy, which is evident when Amity ruined a Blight Industries demonstration and lost many investors willing to buy their products, causing her to become furious with her younger daughter. All of these actions ultimately paint Odalia as short-sighted, as her plan to get rid of Luz ended up being the reason Amity finally stood up to her for her constant lording over her youngest daughter.
During the Day of Unity, when it is revealed that Odalia knows about the true nature of the event, she is shown to not care about it, fully believing that she and her family will enjoy great prosperity in the "new world" once Belos' plan comes to fruition. When Alador and her children try to reason with her, she willingly brushes them off and goes to great lengths to ensure its success, explaining that they are not going to hinder her without a single care for their feelings or opinions. This shows that Odalia cares about keeping her family ahead of everyone else, regardless of how her family feels and whether or not they actually agree with her.
Odalia's abusive and apathetic behavior towards her family ultimately leads them to turn their backs on her after realizing she's been helping Emperor Belos to commit genocide against witchkind. Despite losing everything she had worked for, she refused to show remorse over her actions and poor treatment of her family and parts ways with them, even when she wasn't happy that she was reduced into a servant to the Collector or seeing Amity reunited with Alador.
