Odalia Blight

Odalia Blight is a major antagonist from the 2020 Disney Channel series, mh:besttvshows:The Owl House, developed by Dana Terrace. She is the abusive and forceful mother of Amity Blight, Luz Noceda's love interest. She is voiced by Rachel MacFarlane, who also voiced Mindy and Eris (both from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy).

Why She's a Mean Old Bitch

 * 1) She acts like an arrogant, mean-spirited parent and person in general to her daughter Amity and her friends.
 * 2) She's nothing but a grade A Karen character, much like Kyle Broflovski's mother Sheila from mh:besttvshows:South Park.
 * 3) She is misanthropic, and disapproves of Amity in a relationship with a human like Luz Noceda.
 * 4) She's the reason why Amity Blight used to act arrogant and superior and looked down at witches not as great as her, because she raised her to be as perfect as she wants her against her daughter's wishes. In other words, she's a toxic mother who forces high expectations upon her daughter.
 * 5) She alongside Alador, Amity's father, even forced her to break up with her best friend Willow, even when they were so close back then.
 * 6) When Odalia discovered Amity had gotten back together with Willow, and made new friends with Luz and Gus, she forced Principal Bump to expel Amity's friends from Hexside for no reason. Odalia simply forbidden Amity to be around them thinking they're not as skilled as her, and even points out their past mistakes.
 * 7) When Luz Noceda begged Odalia to change her mind about getting them expelled, Odalia said she would consider, but only if Luz is the guinea pig to her Abomination product presentation at Blight Industries. And all of a sudden, it starts to look like Odalia is trying to kill Luz with her abominations attacking her, and won't stop until she's defeated. Odalia almost murdered her daughter's true love.  Great parenting alright.  NOT!!!  Thank god Amity rescued Luz standing up to her cruel mother!
 * 8) In a later episode, "Clouds in the Horizon", Odalia unfairly grounded all of her children for spying on her business while she was preparing from the Day of Unity.
 * 9) * Later, when Luz and her friends set Amity and her siblings free and convinced Odalia about Belos' evil intentions of using the draining spell to eliminate the coven witches during The Day of Unity, Odalia confessed that she knew the truth the whole time explaining that she doesn't care at all about the lives that'll be lost during the Day of Unity, and only cares about Belos granting the Blight family royalty and power in the human realm.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She does get some comeuppance by being told off for her actions, like in "Escaping Expulsion", when she was about to report Luz to the authorities, but her husband Alador reminds she can't betray the deal she made of promising to unexpel Amity's friends if the presentation was a success.
 * 2) * In "Clouds in the Horizon", while fighting against Odalia, Amity vows never to speak to her mother again, and Alador calls it quits from Odalia's business and even wrecks her factory.
 * 3) ** Even Alador's a better parent because he realized Amity has been improving with magic since she bonded with Luz, Willow and Gus.
 * 4) Her design does seem cool. In fact, some fans find her just as attractive as Eda Clawthorne.
 * 5) Her voice actress, Rachael MacFarlane, does a good job voicing her. In fact, Odalia sounds a lot like her character Eris, a recurring antagonist in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
 * 6) At least she still approves of Amity being lesbian, yet she disapproves her relationship with a human like Luz Noceda, saying she'll find her a different girlfriend that doesn't have her own wanted poster.
