Boscha is a character in the Disney Channel animated series, The Owl House.
Background[]
Boscha is a potions student who attends Hexside School of Magic and Demonics with Amity Blight, Willow Park, and Gus Porter. She is a typical teenage girl who is mean to those she looks down upon and is the bossy ringleader of her friends. She is often seen hanging out with her friends or reviewing/updating her Penstagram account. She is the captain of the school grudgby team, and is overly proud of her abilities. Despite being "friends" with Amity, Amity actually dislikes Boscha and the others because they are cruel, and because her parents forced her to be friends with people like Boscha and Skara because they are from upper-class, rich families, unlike Amity's former friend Willow, who wasn't the most skilled witch. When Amity isn't around, Boscha is the leader of the clique.
Physical appearance[]
Boscha has a slender figure with pink skin, light grey eyes, and violet hair tied back in a bun. Like most witches on the Boiling Isles, she has pointy ears but also has a third eye on her forehead. When attending school, Boscha wears a gray tunic with a dark gray belt, hoodie, and boots. As part of the Potions track, the color of her sleeves and leggings are yellow.
Powers and abilities[]
- Magic: Boscha is a powerful magic user for a girl of her age. Like all witches, her connection comes from a sac of magic bile attached to her heart. She can cast the Spell Circle to cast spells. Occasionally she uses her magic to bully or show dominance.
- Staff: Boscha originally wanted her own palisman instead of adopting a "hand-me-down". However, she was approached by crab palisman named Maya, drawn by her ambition to play professional grudgby. Despite what she said before, she accepted Maya as her palisman.
Role in the series[]
Season One[]
Boscha is considered a top tier student at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics and was part of Amity Blight's social clique. Having a high opinion of herself, she is not afraid of belittling and putting down others she deems unworthy of being a witch. Over time, she begins to see her social status getting threatened, in part, due to the human Luz Noceda's influence. She learns that she along with other "weaker" students Willow Park and Gus Porter, perform a rather elaborate ceremony that involved uprooting the Owl House and making it walk. Furthermore, she is challenged by King, who had swapped bodies with Luz, to a race that resulted in her clubhouse getting destroyed and her body getting switched with a guard and one of her fellow classmates. Her friendship with Amity quickly fell apart with Boscha getting mocked by her once close friend for still acting childish and being a bully towards others. Boscha faces off against Luz, Amity and Willow in a grudgby match, a sport that she is the captain of, and wins, but loses the respect of her teammates when Willow showed better sportsmanship.
Season Two[]
Boscha is present when Odalia Blight, Amity's mother called Luz, Amity, Gus, and Willow to Principal Bump's office. She is later seen getting her own Palisman named Maya due to her long goal being wanting to play personal grudgby. When Luz failed to get her own Palisman, she even asks her if she can do magic in the human realm. Boscha is present when Luz was filming a video for her mother. Additionally, she begins to lose her hold on the school; with Luz and Amity outright ignoring her as she attempts to get their undivided attention. It is unknown what happened to Boscha when Hexside decided to join the rebellion to stop the Day of Unity.
Season Three[]
Boscha and all the students stay at Hexside during the Day of Unity, but when the draining spell took place, Principal Bump and all the staff were affected by the spell. However, The Collector stop the draining spell and began sending floating stars. Boscha, Cat, and Ameila attempt to fight them, but Cat and Amelia were turn into puppets along with the Principal Bump and the Staff. In the following months, Boscha was given the position of president of New Hexside (where the students basically run the school, formed their own community, and take refuge from the Collector’s spies), and is in charge of keeping the students in order and out of danger. Unfortunately, Boscha wasn’t a very open-minded leader, since every time a student gave suggestions on how for everyone to thrive at New Hexside, she would turn them down, as well as being under the guidance of her advisors, Miki and her sister Roka.
Soon after rejecting Luz’s proposal to save the Isles from the Collector, Boscha comes across Willow in the hallways and mocks her attempts to keep her friends spirits up. Having had enough of her bullying, Willow tells Boscha off, only to realize that it was a trick to catch her off guard. Right afterwards, Boscha, along with Miki and Roka (revealed to be Kikimora and her Abomaton), ambush Luz and her friends for planning a mutiny, where she knocks them out with sleeping nettles. Boscha has Kikimora toss them into the Detention Pit, where she admits to wanting to attempt Belos’ plan to takeover the Isles and plans to eliminate them. After Amity pleas with her to do the right thing, Boscha begins to have second thoughts.
After escaping Kikimora’s clutches, Boscha intercepts Amity and Mattholomule, where after recapping her previous friendship with her, Boscha takes Amity by the hand, gets down on one knee, and begs her to be friends with her again. Despite offering her to rule New Hexside by her side and having the status quo be just like the old days, Amity rejects Boscha’s proposal and attempts to leave. But Boscha, refusing to take no for an answer, tries to stop her. After a brief struggle with Amity and Mattholomule, Boscha believes she has her cornered, only to discover that it was an illusion Mattholomule created, thanks to Gus’ advice. Distressed at the thought that Amity left her again, Boscha backs up and finds Amity and an abomination right behind her, where Amity tries one last time to convince her to let them leave in order to save the Isles and reunite with Amelia and Cat.
Later, Boscha instructs the New Hexsidians to subdue Kikimora, buying Luz and the others time to escape to the Titan’s skull. Before they leave, Willow informs her that she isn’t through with her quite yet, to which Boscha responds by claiming she didn’t do this for them, but so that things can go back to normal, she can look great, and play Grudgby with her fellow Banshees. After Luz defeats Belos once and for all, the Collector turns the people of the Isles from puppets back to normal, including Cat and Amelia. Once they return to Hexside with Principal Bump, Boscha pushes past her fellow students and the three share a hug with Boscha crying tears of joy.
Epilogue[]
Four years after the Isles are saved, Boscha is seen running a stand in the Bonesborough marketplace, where she sells Grudgby gear. She later attends Luz’s belated quinceañera (indicating that she and Luz are on good terms with each other), and as the Collector passes through the sky, Boscha, along with all of Luz’s friends and family, waves to the sky and calls out “Bye—eee!”.

Trivia[]
- Boscha is most likely named after Hieronymus Bosch, a painter whose works inspired the show's art style.
- Her eyebrows have a tendency to disappear and reappear. This is possibly an artistic choice on the part of the animators as it usually happens based on her emotional state.
