Hexsquad

Hexsquad is the friendship ship between Luz Noceda, Willow Park, Gus Porter, Amity Blight and Hunter (sometimes includes Vee) from The Owl House fandom.

Canon
The friendships within the squad stared at Hexside School of Magic and Demonic. As it is where Willow and Gus first met, long before Luz Noceda became to the Demon realm and met the two, along with her coming across Amity Blight. When Luz saw the cruel way Amity had treated Willow and offers to help the later witch get a good grade, in exchange for letting the human see her school. Gus's interest in humans was what got Willow to let him know that her "Abomination" is actually a young human teenager, who is simply covered in patches of goop. Amity wasn't happy with Willow and Luz taking away her star student badge, and her wanting to get it back from Willow nearly got Luz dissected to expose their deception. Even though Luz and Amity's first encounter had them becoming enemies, the human remained friends with Willow and Gus. Despite the fact that their stunt got Luz banned from their school. Until Eda Clawthorne pulled some strings to get her enrolled there; on the same day Gus snuck Luz back into the school and nearly ruined his human friend's chance to become a Hexside student. Like the rest of their friends. Luz taking a page from her fictional idol even got her to give Amity a chance, once she discovered a kinder side to her, while Amity began to develop a secret crush on the human girl. Once she too realised that Luz isn't a bad person either, as the two become enemies to friends.

Long before the series began, Willow and Amity were originally childhood friends that were very close. Amity's parents, however, weren't too pleased with their youngest daughter being friends with a late bloomer witch who kept messing up her spells. Amity didn't want to end their friendship, but when they threatened to keep Willow from attending Hexside, she did what they asked to secretly protect Willow from them. Even though it later resulted in Amity becoming a bully towards Willow, in order to keep the "friends" her parents had picked for her. After Luz and Amity became friends, before becoming girlfriends, Amity and Willow started to slowly become friends again. Even Gus began to view Amity as a friend, from seeing how close she had become with Willow and Luz. When "Wing It Like Witches" had Luz push Willo and Gus too hard for their training to beat Boscha in a grudgby match, it almost cost Luz her friendship with the two, before later having a heart-to-heart talk with Amity, who sees Luz willing to face Boscha on her own for Willow's fake. This gets Amity to find Willow and Gus so she can tell them why Luz was hard on them and that they should aid her in the match. Despite Amity's vow to never play the sport again, she gets back into the game for Luz and Willow, while Gus cheers the three on from the stands. Even though they lost the game and Amity got injured, the four becoming closer to one another was worth it. As they go to the Owl House for afternoon tea.

Even though Luz or Amity didn't meet Hunter at Hexside, the young Golden Guard did meet Willow and Gus at the school when he was posing as a student in order to find new recruits. Like with Amity, Luz's first encounter with the masked witch had her view him as an enemy, until their second meeting got her to view him a different light. Luz was originally upset when she didn't bond with any of the palismen, while Willow and Gus did earlier that day. Along with Amity not attending Palisman adoption day due to her kissing Luz on the cheek the previous day. Before Hunter betrayed Luz to take the Palimen from her, she had thought that the two of them could be friends. Luz's words to him, however, did get Hunter to feel guilty for his actions. Just as he did when he betrayed Amity and tricked Willow, Gus and their Flyer Derby teammates for the sake of the Emperor's Coven. Luz had told Amity about Hunter before the two met at Eclipse Lake, along both Luz and Amity being surprised to see Hunter in a photo with Willow and Gus. Much like Willow and Gus in "Hunting Palismen," Hunter found himself getting his own Palisman, after his time with Luz got him and the red cardinal palisman to bond, while Luz was given Palisman wood to carve her own one from. Amity's Palisman, Ghost gets revealed in "Eclipse Lake." When the white cat palisman was helping Amity, Willow and Gus with a sick Luz. The with four young witches, their palismen were shown to get along with one another.

After Luz's third encounter with Hunter resulted in them learning the dark truth of Belos and later got Hunter to run away in fear, he made a makeshift home at Hexside. While Luz was on a trip without telling her worried friends where she went. Even Hunter showed concern for the human when Gus asked him where Luz was. Gus's first encounter with Hunter was what made him weary of the former Golden Guard, until he saved Gus from Adrien. Along with Hunter helping Willow, Amity and the rest of Hexside take their school back from him. Afterwards Hunter tells everyone the truth about Belos and the Day of Unity. As they prepare to stop the draining spell, Hunter and Gus became close friends, along with him becoming closer to Willow. As for Amity, who also expected Hunter as a new friend, she kept trying to get incorrect with Luz when she isn't doing her part to help their shared friends to stop Belos.

Luz became aware of Hunter becoming part of their circle of friends when the C.A.T.s sent her away from the danger. So, she could save Amity, with Willow, Gus and Hunters' help. Hunter was aware of Luz helping Belos, as Philip find the Collector and knows that she doesn't want her friends to find out. Just as he doesn't them to learn that he is a Grimwalker, as well as a clone of someone that Belos knew. The two silently agreed to keep each other's secrets, so they can focus on saving Amity. Along with the five doing what they came to stop the next shipment of Abominations. Only to get captured and have Kikimora threatening to take Hunter back to Belos. Fearing for her friend was what got Luz to ask Gus to help her save him, by casting an illusion spell that would have Luz and Hunter switch places. Once the others discovered this after Luz as Hunter was captured by Kikimora, the four raced to their human friend's rescue. The five friends then tried to fight Belos together, before they encounter the Collector and were forced to escape the chaos of the dangerous child by portal to the human realm. Resulting in Luz's four witch friends to become trapped in her home world, just as she was trapped in there's when Luz was forced to give Belos the portal door.

Luckily Luz's mother, Camlia agreed to let her daughter's friends stay with them. As the five look for ways back to the Demon realm, while Vee the basilisk lends them a hand and teaches the four witches things about the human realm when Luz is at school or spending time with her mother. When the six aren't looking for ways to get back to the demon realm, they spent the summer having human realm fun. Willow uses the camera Camlia to document those fun times, so they'll have something to show their families. Amity, Willow, Gus and Hunter being greatful for what Luz and her mother have done for them had the four witches wanting to pay them back. Even though Vee did warn the two human that the dish the four witches prepared would tasted worse than it looks. While Luz was still feeling guilty for helping Belos meet the Collector and being the reason he was able to cast the draining spell in the first place, she felt that she should never go back to the Boiling Isles with her friends. Thinking that they would be better off without her, and that the four young witches would end up hating her once they learn the truth.

Because of the way that the portal door the five had gone through was connected to an old abandoned house, Luz and her demon realm friends turned it into a base of oppression of sorts. Despite their failed attempts, Amity and the others were always there to help Luz pick herself back up again. Even though the long moths had Amity, Willow and Gus missing their families, while Hunter was the only one of them who doesn't have a family waiting for him. When Amity, Willow, Gus, Hunter and Vee finally found a clue on how to get back home, the five agreed to keep it a secret from Luz, so they could later present the discovery as a happy surprise.The friendships within the squad stared at Hexside School of Magic and Demonic.

Because the portal door the five had gone through was somehow connected to the door of an old abandoned house, Luz and her demon realm friends turned it into a base of oppression of sorts, while Camila thinks of it as a "clue house" the six friends like to hang out in together. With them taking the time to fix it up and making it much safter to be in. Despite their failed attempts, Amity and the others were always there to help Luz pick herself back up again. Even though the long months had Amity, Willow and Gus missing their families, while Hunter was the only one of them who doesn't have a family waiting for him. When Amity, Willow, Gus, Hunter and Vee finally found a clue on how to get back home, the five agreed to keep it a secret from Luz, so they could later present the discovery as a happy surprise. When Hunter got possessed by Belos, however, he uses Hunter to trick Luz to find the hidden Titan's blood be hide the other's backs. Who get worried about Luz and Hunter them the three could find the two, along with Camila and Vee arriving to help them in the search for their friends. At first, Luz would only watch as the possessed Hunter attacks their friends, due to the shock state she was in when Belos revealed her role in helping him to find the collector in front of them. Luckily Hunter was able to fight Belos off at the last minute and begins to list the things he wants to do with his friends, before tossing away the Titan's blood. Which gets Belos to drive into the water after it and nearly got the both of them killed, until Camila dived in to save Hunter, before bringing him back to his worried friends.

Even though Hunter was able to be healed from Flapjack's sacrifice and Belos's actions granted them the portal they have tried to open, Luz was still upset that Belos revealed her shameful secret to her friends. Who made sure that Hunter was okay before asking Luz what Belos had mean by her helping him to meet the Collector. As Luz tries to explain it to them, Hunter reminds her that she was tricked by Belos and he was the one to blame. While the rest of their friends could never hate Luz. Still feeling guilty for her role that created the Day of Unity, Luz was about to tell her friends that she wasn't going back to the Demon realm with them and that it would be for the best, but her mother stopped her from saying that. Relieved that her friends don't blame her and still want her by their side, Luz joins them back to the Boiling Isle to face the Collacter and whatever new dangers they many come across on the way.

Fanon
Next to the makeshift family Luz became apart of within the Owl House, as well as the strong bond she shares with Eda and King, fans are also drawn to the friends she made outside the Owl House. As well as them being close to her age. With Luz having no friends before she came to the demon realms, was what helped fans to feel drawn towards the bonds Luz has formed within the group of young witches who get and expect Luz for who she is. Since Luz was one of the people who helped Amily and Hunter to reform, set events that got Willow and Amity to mend their childhood friendship and answers Gus's many questions about her home world.

The ship's title, Hexsquad was originally used for the ployship between Luz, Willow x Gus, from how the squad first started with the trio becoming friends at Hexside before the three became close to Amity and Hunter in season two. Seeing how close the five have become with one another was what got fans to acknowledge Amity and Hunter as new added members to the young Owl House squad. Similar to how Lilith has been seen as a new added member to the Owl House Family in the first part of season two. There have even been times when fans like to feature Willow, Gus, Amity and Hunter as honorary members of Luz's makeshift Owl House family, from the times four of them have spent there to see Luz; along with there being fanfics of Hunter getting adopted into Luz's demon realm family after he left Belos's side. Some of those fanfics have Luz introduce Hunter to her Hexside friends, who welcome him to their little group.

The events of "Thanks to Them" had even inspired a small group to make Vee an honorary member to the young group of friends, from the months the five had spent with Vee during their time trapped in the human realm and helping them to make a portal to get them back to the demon realm. The first season three special episode also have the Hexsquad become siblings to one another, besides Luz and Amity with them dating one another. Along with there being strong indications of Hunter having a crush on Willow, who may also be feeling the same way about him.
