Luz is a Dominican-American teenager with tanned skin, short, dark brown hair (usually styled in a pixie cut), and brown eyes. During her fight against Emperor Belos in "King's Tide," Luz suffers an injury that leaves a scar on her left eyebrow. Over the course of her time on Earth, her hair begins to grow, giving it a curlier appearance.

Luz is extroverted, adventurous, friendly, and innocent. She enjoys having fun with her hobbies, which include watching her favorite cartoons, editing videos, and acting out or dressing up as characters. She has a cheerful, eccentric, and restless personality, so she's usually energetic most of the time. Despite having a good heart and good intentions, Luz is rejected by others, who consider her too extravagant or "weird," including her own mother. Because of this, she often has trouble making friends at school, which has led her to develop a slight phobia of interacting with other students, forcing her to make plans to avoid running into them. Having no one to accept her for who she is, Luz had no real friends in the human world, except for her "imaginary friends" or "reptilians." Luz is determined to be who she wants to be regardless of the criticism she receives, sometimes to the point of being quite stubborn. Luz's excessive determination and refusal to conform cause her social life and academic performance to stagnate. This sends her to Boiling Isles, because she often disobeys Eda and gets into trouble.

Despite this issue, Luz is highly intelligent and surprisingly introspective, as seen in quieter scenes, such as when she demonstrates to Amity Blight how to cast spells by drawing associated glyphs on paper. Although typically cheerful and affable, in episode 11, "Sense and Resentment," Luz knows when to draw the line, as she did when King insulted and dismissed all her ideas.

Luz isn't completely confident all the time, as seen in episode 13, "The First Day": it's shown that Luz has underlying self-esteem issues, primarily at school. She calls herself a "mess" and suggests she belongs in the trash.

Luz is very creative and a quick thinker, able to find solutions to problems on the fly, but if she has too many things on her mind, she can ignore obvious things, like Amity's crush on her.

She is also very intelligent and self-assured, as everything has guided her throughout her life. She learns a great deal from Eda, as everything she teaches her helps her learn to perform and perceive magic, so she can become a witch's apprentice.

Arguably, Luz's devotion to her loved ones is also her greatest weakness, as she constantly places their burdens on her shoulders and blames herself whenever she believes her actions have hurt them. This was evident when she intensely blamed herself for Eda's capture by Lilith and later for the loss of her magic, despite Eda's reassurances that it wasn't her fault either. However, this guilt would escalate traumatically after discovering the truth about Belos's identity and the role she unwittingly played in his rise to power, finding the Collector, and nearly annihilating all warlocks and demons on the Day of Unity. In the aftermath, Luz's optimism was increasingly eroded by the traumas she had endured and the constant self-blame she placed on herself, making her a much more hardened and serious person, determined to end Belos's evil even at the cost of her own life.

At the time of "Thanks to Them," after months of being trapped with her friends in the Human Realm, Luz has become little more than a shell of her former self, her mental and emotional health deteriorating to alarming levels, exhibiting multiple signs of depression. At this point, Luz's previous insecurities and low self-esteem have morphed into an intense and unhealthy sense of self-loathing, believing herself responsible for the suffering of all her friends and family, to the point of furiously cursing her own existence. Because of this, the traumas she endured and the repeated failures in her return to the Isles, all her former optimism and joy have vanished, leaving her almost constantly miserable, sullen, apathetic, and somewhat withdrawn, with her mood only improving to maintain appearances in front of her friends and avoid burdening them with her own problems. Furthermore, Luz now blames herself for almost every mistake or obstacle she and her friends encounter, even when they are not her fault. Eventually, this pushes her to decide to remain permanently in the Human Kingdom once Belos and the Collector are finally defeated, despite the assurances of her friends and the obvious anguish such a choice would bring her, convinced that being out of her friends' lives is the best way to protect them from her own flaws.

Her outfit consists of a pair of ebony earrings, a half-white, half-indigo short-sleeved hoodie with cat ears attached to the hood, high-waisted denim shorts, dark gray capri leggings, and a pair of white loafers. Since "Trust Me," she always wears Eda's grudgby jacket with her outfits.

When he's at Hexside, his school uniform has six different colors, separated by irregular divisions. Each of his sleeves has two shades of the same color, with the lighter shades near the cuffs: mint on the right, violet on the left. The legs of his trousers are divided similarly, but use different shades, with red and magenta for the right leg and blue and cyan for the left. Interestingly, his uniform doesn't display the colors for Potions, Construction, or Beast Keeping classes.

Originally, her sleepwear during her first night in the Demon Realm consisted of a gray sleeveless shirt, purple shorts with an orange moon and star, and white and indigo socks. Starting with "Taliamigos Hunt," she wears a short-sleeved lilac shirt, dull purple pajama pants with a gold waistband, a blue diamond pattern, and the pale pink head of an unknown creature at the ends. She usually wears her loafers with this outfit, but she was seen barefoot while sick with common mold at "Eclipse Lake."

For Unity Day, Luz continued to wear Eda's jacket, but changed her main outfit to a gray shirt under her zip-up jacket, wide beige pants, and brown calf-high boots.

After returning to the Human Kingdom, he wears a completely different outfit after coming out of the closet: it consists of an oversized red and white t-shirt with an 8-bit blue symbol that says "OK", a matching cap that had some pins, and a green fanny pack.

Around his waist, he wears blue jeans with the hems rolled up and a patch on his right knee, and navy blue slip-on shoes. Months later, his outfits alternate: the first consists of a white T-shirt with the Rod of Asclepius, a fanny pack, purple sweatpants, and his navy blue sneakers. The second consists of wide-legged green pants, a purple striped shirt, and red and white sneakers with a star design on each side. For both outfits, he wears a red beanie with bi pride pins and eyes while still wearing Eda's jacket.

While Luz isn't strong or possesses any special powers, she is quite brave, which benefits her when facing any enemy without succumbing to fear. She has proven to be quite agile, not to superhuman levels, but enough to escape and move through narrow spaces. She also has very good stamina, enduring long fights, although she clearly has her limits.

Luz has a great mental capacity; by this I mean she thinks quite quickly under pressure and can improvise with ease. This benefited her during her time in the Boiling Isles with her Glyphs, as it helps her make very creative plays with them.

As I mentioned, Luz used Glyphs. These Glyphs are symbols that represent the magic of the Boiling Isles. Luz draws these symbols on paper, and by touching them, she activates the effect of the corresponding magic. But because she is currently in the Human Realm (her home), she cannot use the Glyphs, since she depends on the magical world of the Boiling Isles and the magic of the Titan (the skeletal corpse that is the Boiling Isles archipelago).

For this reason, in the human kingdom, due to his inability to use Glyphs, he uses a red baseball bat to defend himself in case of emergencies.
