TOH AU Character Fun Facts

Hunter

1) Loves to sing, isn’t embarrassed by his voice, often sings softly to himself when he’s working on something

2) Soteria loves to sing with Hunter while he’s busy with something

3) LOVES the musical Hamilton

he has the ENTIRE musical on his phone, including the removed songs

will walk around singing one of the songs depending on his mood

Hunter loved the look of confusion that grew on Philip’s face when he first played the song “Take a Break”

Caleb just burst out laughing when he heard it

everyone was concerned when they first walked in on Hunter listening to “The World was Wide Enough” and saw him crying

4) Is very athletic and loves ‘parkour’, but doesn’t particularly like playing sports

bad experiences with the other kids at the orphanage

he’s not bad, he just doesn’t like playing in ‘actual games’ outside of friendly rounds to pass the time

5) Is a very good cook, one of his hobbies

all the kids in the orphanage were required to help in the kitchen once they reached 10 years old as a way to teach them how to be careful in the kitchen as well as learning ways to prepare easy meals (kids didn’t actually ‘cook’ until they were tall enough to rest their elbows on the counter without tippy toes)

Hunter liked being in the kitchen, even staying off to the side on a chair while the adults cooked when he was younger so he could chat with the adults

this was mostly so he could avoid the other kids and because the adults were the only ones nice to him

Hunter likes diverse food flavors, but unfortunately has texture issues

his main goal in cooking is to recreate flavors, but without the texture so he can EAT THE DAMN FOOD

has a very particular sense of taste; he can pinpoint certain ingredients and flavors in food

Loves spicy food, but prefers fruity flavors

Luz often asks him to cook when Eda is either not home yet or too tired, King likes trying human realm food, and Eda asks if she can help and learn how to cook some of his more requested dishes

6) Loves to read

any genre, but has a thing for mysteries, and sci-fi

hates easily predictable stories or old fashioned writing; so no, he does not like The Good Witch Azura series

-but hey, he hated Shakespeare’s original writing formats

7) Likes to be prepared

has items for pretty much any situation in his bag

emergency food

a multitude of weapons such as knives, sling shots, bow and arrows, bow staffs, and other things

don’t ask where he gets them, he won’t answer

tents, sleeping bags, lights, a compass (though useless in the demon realm)

spare clothes of various sizes

blankets, pillows and all of his stuffed animals from when he was little; which is a lot

8) His bag is a home in of itself

his backpack has an expansion spell on it, it’s only a minor expansion and the inside is reminiscent to a two story house with a similar sized backyard

keeps anything and everything that is his inside his bag

doesn’t let anyone he doesn’t trust into the bag

no need to worry about bag thief because the bag is charmed to automatically return to the owner once it gets a certain distance away

also no need to worry about break in because he sewed runic symbols into the bag to enforce protection so only he could open the bag

has a nest for Soteria to use when he’s in the bag, she doesn’t like being separated from him when he goes into the bag, mostly because at first she couldn’t open the bag

-Hunter had to sew in more runes to allow Soteria to be able to open the bag on her own

has a small kitchen space

has a greenhouse for his garden and herbs

-he offered to use his garden grown food to cook more types of food for him and Luz, who so far only found griffin eggs to be safe for humans; Luz was actually excited to try a veggie stew

-Caleb and Philip actually cried the first time they tried one of Hunter’s dishes, it being the first time they’ve tasted human realm food in CENTURIES

has a work space for the ‘potions’ and ‘spells’ for his own method of magic

-kind of forgot that the witches in the Boiling Isles don’t have such magic, and freaked out King who, saw him in the middle of crawling out of his bag, and started screaming about Hunter being eaten by his bag

didn’t even try to stop Luz from trying to get into the bag, as it easily repelled her

9) has his whole wardrobe of specific clothes for him to wear

has them all organized by color, sleeve length, pants or shorts as well as what is more comfortable to wear depending on his mood and state of mind

even for people he would let into his bag, he doesn’t let ANYONE touch his personal clothes, it driving his ADHD crazy at the thought of anyone touching them and putting a shirt back in the wrong spot

LOVES animal themed shirts

HATES shirts with vulgar pictures, curse words are okay though

Is an absolute cuddle bug

always sought physical attention from the adults, be it head pats, a shoulder squeeze, or a knee tap

really loves it when he’s laying down and Soteria is next to his head and just wraps her wings around his head

-her feathers are one of his favorite sensations of touch

always welcomed Luz’s surprise hugs once he moved into the Owl House

will always let King climb on his shoulders or curl up in his arms and lap

loves hugs from Caleb because they’re warm, soft, and firm

loves hugs from Philip because they’re tight, steady, and swallow him whole

Caleb

1) Sketches and writes as a hobby

always carries around a small notebook to sketch out creatures and plants he comes across

as well as the many friends he’s made over the centuries

writes small notes to himself about his day, things that have happened, and how he’s feeling

basically his notebooks are both his sketch book and diary

has gone through dozens of these books over the decades

whenever he fills one up, he gets a new one and drops the full one off with the Clawthornes on his next visit

2) Is a wanderer

during his early days of the Boiling Isles, after the tragic loss of his wife and child, his in-laws let him stay with them while he was healing

-even after he was healed, they continued to insist that their home was his home too

the only reason Caleb stayed there when he wasn’t searching for Philip was because of his nieces and nephews from his sister and brother in-laws

-they helped somewhat heal the hole in his heart at the loss of not only his wife, but their unborn child

he started leaving more often after his mother and father-in-law passed away

- the only reason he kept returning at all was because he promised his mother and father-in-law that he would always return to the family to show that he was still alive

-letters were not allowed as proof of living

his sibling in-laws were the ones that started telling their children the stories about the “Family Friend” that Eda and Lilith would eventually grow up on

when Caleb wasn’t at the Clawthorne family residence, he was traveling the Titan, searching for his brother

made friends with many people over the years, it was always sad when he went around an area again some years later to find that one of his friends had passed away

3) Is very hard to anger

making Caleb mad was always a hard thing to do

unless you hurt somebody he loved

-then you better hoped you could run away fast enough

didn’t realize that the feelings he had felt towards his parents was anger until he went to the Boiling Isles and Lorelei noticed and asked him about it

-it then actually hit him that he did not like his parents

- not since Philip had turned 4

Caleb almost never got angry at Philip, which is why Philip could never see his brother as being violent

Lorelei had never actually seen Caleb get angry until a witch had tried to pick on Philip, who was writing in his journal

she had always thought that Caleb was a bit of a pushover

she just discovered that Caleb preferred not to get mad

-she’ll never admit it, but that is when she first started to realize that she was in love

Caleb doesn’t realize that other than “Family Friend” his other name in the Clawthorne family is “Fierce Protector”

the family won’t tell him after he got embarrassed over the “Family Friend” title

4) Loves food

due to the time period Caleb and Philip grew up in, food was never very elaborate outside of holidays

was very excited to try new foods in the Boiling Isles

-even if some of them gave him and Philip bad reactions due to being human

was incredibly stunned to find that Lorelei’s family ate like how he did at holidays every day

-he was surprised when he saw what they ate like on their holidays

-when he and Philip were at Eda’s house and Hunter was cooking for the first time since they arrived, they were both quite stunned to see human realm ingredients

-was not embarrassed even a little bit when he tried Hunter’s cooking, too immersed in the familiar taste of the human realm

5) Loves very fiercely

when he was young, before Philip was born, he loved his parents very much, loving the attention they put on him

when Philip was born, Caleb would not put him down

-he would only relent when Philip needed to eat

when his parents started to treating Philip rather harshly when he turned four, he didn’t notice that he didn’t feel as much love for them, seeing as most of it went to Philip

when he first met Lorelei during her visits to the human realm, he didn’t like her at first

grew to like her, and then soon love her as they got to know each other over a couple of years

was nervous when Philip caught him and Lorelei, because he didn’t want to have to choose between two people he loved very dearly

Caleb managed to convince Philip not to tell their parents only because Philip loved Caleb more than them

when Caleb first carved Flapjack, he was stunned when he came alive, but grew to love him quite fiercely

-especially when the little guy would annoy Philip by nesting in his hair

when Caleb and Philip traveled to the Boiling Isles, he felt no grief about leaving behind their parents, but also didn’t feel any relief when it was discovered that they followed him and his brother there

when his wife died, Caleb felt his heart shatter and it took many years before he felt any desire to love again

Philip disappearing after he recovered from his injuries sustained from their parents only deepened that scar

his siblings-in-law had kids, he refused to hold them for the longest time because they reminded him of the child he lost

when Lorelei’s parents made him promise to continue to visit, Caleb felt his heart heal a little, even after they passed away

his love for his brother is the reason why he spent so many years chasing after Philip, even if Philip didn’t want to see him

once the brothers started living together again, Caleb actually didn’t know how to react because he was worried that his way of showing affection might seem overbearing to Philip and he was scared of being pushed away after Philip finally let him back into his life

when the brothers and Kikimora moved in with Eda, Caleb didn’t know how to react living around kids that weren’t ones he had seen grow up

he knew King to an extent from his last visit to Eda’s but Luz and Hunter were a whiplash of a surprise

he grew to love the both of them, but won’t say out loud that Hunter is his favorite because he reminds him so much of Lorelei

6) Was wary of Hunter when they first met each other

most people would think that upon first meeting Hunter Caleb would just adore him and love him to bits, but that’s not true

Caleb didn’t dislike Hunter, it was more of a Caleb ‘didn’t know how he should react’ situation

especially to a child that looked like a miniature version of himself

it wasn’t until Hunter had a nightmare and stumbled upon Caleb in the middle of the night that Caleb started to get close to Hunter

Philip

1) Loves his brother more than anything

Philip always had an attachment towards his brother since he was little

this became more pronounced when they got older and had to start doing their chores separately

when Caleb started sneaking off when he met Lorelei, Philip was genuinely worried for his brother

when he was introduced to Lorelei after he followed Caleb, he was very suspicious of her but not afraid of her

but Caleb liked her, so Philip wouldn’t tell their parents as long as he could come with Caleb when he would go to meet her

eventually he started to love Lorelei like he did his brother and he was glad a woman like her could make his brother happy

he ended up knowing her for a long time before he ever discovered that she was a witch

-and it was only because he knew her so well that he didn’t think she was capable of all the evil things his parents and the church said witches were known for

was genuinely happy for Caleb when he proposed and was actually thrilled at the idea of becoming an uncle

2) Loves just as fiercely as Caleb

would do anything to keep Caleb happy

that extended to Lorelei when she started dating his brother as well as her family

never actually realized that he never really loved his parents until he and Caleb went to the Boiling Isles and had a talk with Lorelei’s father about his actions around his parents

it fully sunk in when his parents attacked Caleb and his wife and Philip had no hesitation in defending them over his parents

he was even willing to put himself in danger to keep them safe

-not that it really helped in the end

when he first met Kiki, he didn’t really feel anything for her as he was just letting her stay to keep out of the boiling rain

he grew to care for her the longer she stayed because she was staying because she cared about him

-even though at first she just couldn’t stand his disgusting living conditions

wasn’t sure what to think of Eda when he first met her, he knew that Caleb was still in contact with the Clawthorne family after all these years, but Philip didn’t have that

-feeling like he didn’t belong after the accident all those years ago

didn’t know how to feel about Hunter

he seemed like a nice kid but had a hard time being around him due to him looking like Caleb

grew to adore him once he found a connection with him through science

3) Doesn’t hate ‘wild magic’

since he got to know Lorelei and know that she wasn’t evil, when he found out that she was a witch and hailed from the demon realm, he doesn’t think magic is bad

after his parents got trapped in the demon realm, he still didn’t think it was bad because it’s not magic forced his parents to follow him and Caleb

since Nicholas and Abigail fought with non-magical means, Philip had no reason to blame magic for the death of Lorelei and her baby

-he blamed himself enough

when he got severely injured by his parents when they killed his sister-in-law, he never blamed magic

even when it actually was the cause for one of his biggest injuries, he only blamed himself for making such a terrible decision

4) Doesn’t like his parents, but felt bad for them

when the brothers realized that their parents had followed them into the Boiling Isles and were now trapped due to the portal collapsing, Philip felt bad that they were trapped in a place that would seem like a nightmare to them

-given that’s how he reacted when he first accidentally ended up in the demon realm it’s not an unexpected response

but Philip felt a bit guilty because he thought their parents followed them because they were worried about them, but they weren’t, not even a little bit and that’s what hurt when Philip learned later on

wants his parents to be happy so Philip starts looking for a way back so the two of them can go back to the human realm, Lorelei helping where she can because she feels kind of bad as well

helped them with building their own house to live in while they ‘stayed’ here since they refused to board with Lorelei and her family

Philip and Caleb also helped them with growing the few safe kinds of foods for humans

ends up building the portal so Nicholas and Abigail can go home when Philip is almost 27 and Lorelei is pregnant

5) Felt guilty over Caleb’s losses

due to having been helping their parents and telling them about his and Caleb’s lives Nicholas and Abigail knew exactly who to go after

Caleb hadn’t told his parents about him and Lorelei and Philip didn’t know that, so he feels responsible for telling their parents about Caleb’s wife and baby

due to his guilt after he recovered from his own injuries, he left after the confrontation with their parents

he refused to look at Caleb after he believes that Lorelei’s death is his fault

-though Caleb knows what happened but he doesn’t in any way blame Philip for their parents actions

constantly traveling over the Titan to avoid his brother

like a really long, elaborate game of ‘tag’ or ‘hide and seek’

made several ‘hideouts’ over the Isles for him to retreat to as he moved around

abandoned them when he finally started living with Caleb again

when he saw Hunter another reason he had a hard time spending time with him was because he reminded Philip of the child that Caleb was denied

6) Never cut his ears

when Philip had finally resolved himself to cut his ears so he could be less noticeable he was caught by his brother, who was horrified at the thought of his brother self-harming himself to hide himself

Caleb was already terrified of Philip getting anymore hurt after what happened with their parents as well as the other injuries Philip had sustained

-which Caleb hadn’t discovered until he had found Philip for the first time after Lorelei’s death

Caleb made Philip promise him that he wouldn’t do such a thing to himself after what happened to his arm, even after he left the next day while Caleb while sleeping he never cut his ears because he couldn’t bear the idea of Caleb blaming himself for Philip’s injuries

7) Learned mechanics and ‘chemistry’

always visited libraries to search through their books on technology, what little they had anyways

most of the decent books were ones that had fallen through from the human realm

-the books were classified as ‘fiction’ which is why he had a hard time finding any such books

-those kinds of books wouldn’t be labeled properly till years later when witches started fiddling with mechanics themselves and showed that it was a possible venture

other books he found were in bookshops and considered trash so he always got them in bulk since the owner just wanted them gone from their store

it took a long time for him to actually understand many of the concepts since he had to teach himself, and when he came across newer books that declared facts from a previous book to be false it took awhile for him to unlearn those facts

when he came upon chemistry books in the mid 1800s, Philip took it upon himself to create a period table for the Boiling Isles materials if only for his own state of mind

-it took many decades to even come CLOSE to finishing half of the Boiling Isles version of the periodic table of elements

-when he came across a Earth periodic table of elements, he became somewhat discouraged because he was classifying a lot of elements wrong himself

-he had to create a few rules for his own periodic table because some elements in the demon realm didn’t follow any of the rules from Earth

when Kiki asked to learn chemistry alongside him, Philip was actually kind of excited, because he was teaching a subject that didn’t really exist in the demon realm because most witches would just label it under potions

it proved very useful when Kiki started learning potions later on

when Hunter gave him an up to date chemistry book, Philip felt like he was going to cry

8) Lost a limb

self-explanatory I believe

not all that interesting

I will have more facts about our other characters eventually

I am working on full body pictures, it’s taking a long time because I’m actually coloring these ones.

Not all of my pictures will be colored, but the ones that are I want to be perfect. Well, perfect in my eyes.

Fun fact about this fun fact post. This took nearly a whole damn day to write out.

I’m not sure what kind of things to draw so suggestions would be welcomed. Along side AU name suggestions.
