** Since Luz has been attending Hexside since she was young, Eda showed her the Secret Room of Shortcuts so she could use it to cause mischief. Instead, she uses it to study every kind of track in secret and allowed Viney, Jerbo and Barcus to use it for the same reasons, forming the Junior Bad Girl coven.
*** Since Luz is already in the potion track, Barcus starts out in the oracle track. This was done so each troublemaker was in a different track and so Amity met at least one of them before joining them.
*** Willow was able to switch to the plant track thanks to Luz encouraging her to use the room to study in secret.



* BaitAndSwitch: Two occur in Chapter 6: twice Amity and King believe they're being hunted by a slitherbeast and both times they're wrong. The first fakeout reveals they just heard Eda going to the bathroom, the second time they face [[spoiler:Luz in her Owl Beast form]].

* PragmaticAdaptationPragmaticAdaptation: Some chapters combine episode plots for the sake of keeping the story moving:
** "Chapter 6: The Intruder in the Elements" has [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E4TheIntruder "The Intruder"]] and [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E12AdventuresInTheElements "Adventures in the Elements"]], with Eda taking Amity, Luz and King to the Knee so Amity can learn her first spell and the human girl has her first encounter with the Owl Beast. The [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E6HootysMovingHassle moonlight conjuring]] and [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E8OnceUponASwap body swaps]] are mentioned to have happened between Chapters 5 & 6.
** "Chapter 8: The First Week" fuses [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E13TheFirstDay "The First Day"]] and [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E17WingItLikeWitches "Wing It Like Witches"]], detailing Amity's first week at Hexside with the addition of the grudgby game against Boscha's gang.

** Since Luz is Eda's daughter, her eyes are gold instead of brown [[spoiler:and because of the curse, her hair is slowly turning gray, forcing her to dye it brown every month.]]



* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler:Having inherited Eda's curse, Luz has a lot more self-doubt than she does in canon. She blames herself for Eda and Camila spitting up, she sees herself as a monster and she's scared that Willow and Gus will stop being friends with her if they learn the truth, even (initially) thinking she's not their best friend until Amity says otherwise.]]
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange:
** Eda developed a relationship with Camila, having Luz as a result. [[spoiler:When they learned Luz inherited Eda's curse after her first transformation, Eda had to leave them and spent 5 years searching for the person who cursed her so she can kill them for causing their suffering.]]
** Since Camila's a witch in this story, she's the demon realm equivalent of a veterinarian, a beast healer.



* CrushBlush: It's not an ''Owl House'' story unless Luz and Amity do this around each other as their feelings for each other grow.
** [[spoiler:Boscha]] does this when she developed a crush on Amity.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Amity is completely stunned when she learns Eda's a mother.

* HammerspaceHair: Despite still having a pixie cut, Luz inherited this trait from Eda able to store several clothes, toys and accessories within. Amity wonders if they're {{Pocket Dimension}}s.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: The main reason Amity ran away; she was tired of only being known as a Blight and wanted to lead an ordinary life.

Tired of living up to her family name, Amity ends up chasing Owlbert through the portal to the demon realm and meets Eda. After one adventure, Amity seizes the opportunity to run away from home and start a new and (kinda) normal life in the Boiling Isles as a witch. Each chapter adapts an episode of the show, with some events reordered, combined or skipped over completely with the plots of those episodes being altered in some way. Also expect a few interludes as a break from the main storyline.

!!This fanfic contains examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationDyeJob: Edric, Emira and Odalia are all blondes in the story. Amity, who's still a natural brunette, dyes it blond.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The story's premise revoles around the Blights being humans and the Nocedas witches.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: The human doppleganger of Amity from "A Lying Witch and a Warden" is known as Clara Heartfield.
