Over-Analysing the Subtext of Amity Blight’s Hair (Part 1)

The influence of the Blights, Willow, and The Good Witch Azura

Amity dyes her hair green. This visually signifies her conformity to the Blight family, changing herself to imitate Emira and Edric’s green hair. Amity’s lighter green is symbolic of her as a pale imitation of them, like her wanting to top their exam scores in Adventures in the Elements

Amity doesn’t dye her roots. This is an interesting detail to add to her character design because it highlights the construction of Amity’s visual façade in parallel with her social façade with her ‘friends’ at Hexside.

When we see past-Amity in Willow’s memories, she has her natural brown hair. So, Amity not dyeing her roots – giving her that little splash of natural colour – is symbolic of how beneath the façade, beneath the pressure to conform, she’s still herself. Willow’s childhood best friend is still in there, under the Blight Persona.  

But only the top of Amity’s hair is a similar dark green to her siblings. Underneath, her hair is instead a similar turquoise-green to Azura.

So, Amity’s hair has 3 layers. 

On the top/surface level, people who don’t know the ‘real’ Amity or her closely-guarded fandom (i.e. her Hexside ‘friends’) associate her with the Blight Persona. 

Underneath is Azura,

At the Roots is Little Amity.

I think the Azura association is sweet and kinda tragic: After pushing Willow away Amity couldn’t be her dorky, nerdy self with any of her new ‘friends’, so she curled herself around the comfort of the Azura books and dyed her hair that colour as a silent ode to her childhood hero.

This suggests that Azura inspires Amity just as much as she does Luz. I can just imagine little Amity dreaming about Quests and Destinies like Luz does in Witches Before Wizards, before having her dreams crushed down to size and remoulded at the whim of her parents.

Amity at the beginning of the show represents the kind of person Luz could’ve become if she’d gone on the Reality Check Summer Camp.

Her hair symbolises the triple-influences of the Blights (dark green - her siblings), Azura (and through Azura, her emerging friendship/crush on Luz) and her former friendship with Willow (brown roots)

Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.

Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?

I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.

Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.

Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol

About Emira and Edric…

I just… REALLY want to talk about this drawing by Dana Terrace, who seems to have confirmed that Emira and Edric were stood up by their dates; Which would really recontextualize why those two were hanging out with just one another on the bleachers, alone, during Grom…

Like, ouch- I’ve always suspected the twins of having their own emotional issues, as a result of the abuse from their parents… But this drawing is making that seem all the more likely. I’ve speculated before that perhaps Emira was kidding when she said her worst fear was being alone with Edric forever… But as others have pointed out, it’s not totally out of the question for her to have been telling the truth; And her closed-off mannerisms could be because it was a legitimate issue that’s been on her mind. And as much as I fear to acknowledge the likelihood of this truth… I think I’ll, for this post at least, consider the idea that Emira WAS being truthful. Mind you, it’s possible she was just annoyed at Edric for trying to bring up something as personal as a worst fear with almost zero prompting, and we see the two immediately work together to cast the Eda illusion without issue. But just in case…
