Huntress Wizard (occasionally called "HW") is one of the competitors in the Wizard Battle in the episode "Wizard Battle". She is later seen in "Reign of Gunters", hanging out in front of the magical item shop in Wizard City, and talks briefly to the Ice King. She appears again in "Wizards Only, Fools", standing on a building while watching Princess Bubblegum leaping over her to escape from the Wizard Police. She is seen again fighting among several other wizards against Bella Noche in the episode "Betty". Her first major appearance is in the episode "Flute Spell".
Appearance[]
She has leaf hair and tree branch antlers, along with a tan hood and a black eye mask. She has light green eyes with dark green vertical pupils similar to those of a cat, and her skin is turquoise. She wears a purple shirt (though it's green in "Flute Spell" onwards), tan pants, a black belt, a black cape, and long black/purple heeled boots. She also sports a quiver of arrows on her back, suggesting that she is an archer. She wears a tan glove on one hand but not on the other, another sign of an archer.
Personality[]
She is initially shown as laid-back, and appears to have a sarcastic and insolent approach to things. It was later shown in "Flute Spell" that she is one of a single-minded focus, only being able to see what is in front of her. She has a fear of becoming soft, so strong that it led her to the madness and sadness which comes with wizardry. Because she clings onto her beliefs, she feels that she can't be with Finn despite her feelings for him.
Relationships[]
Finn[]
Huntress Wizard first met Finn in "Flute Spell," where she had came across him playing his flute while nude in a river. At the end of the episode, Finn revealed that he had been playing his flute for her, and in turn she revealed that she had been playing her flute for him. The two kissed each other, but she pulled away, stating that "exceptional beasts" such as themselves are not meant to be together. Later, in an episode titled "Wheels," when Finn played his flute in a skate park, she looked at him from behind a bush, which might indicate she still holds an interest in Finn and/or his flute playing.
However, in the episode "The Wild Hunt," Huntress Wizard attempts to help Finn by putting herself in danger to help him overcome his mental blockade, but this isn't successful, as Finn does not overcome this until he imagines Fern in place of Huntress Wizard. After that, Huntress Wizard flirts with Finn by saying "We both know you're totally in love with me." She then accepts another kiss from Finn.
In "Seventeen," Huntress Wizard attends Finn's birthday party and gives him an elk's heart in a box as a present, which could possibly be read as a token of affection as she states that it has "emotional and metaphorical significance." She helps fend off an attack by Fern and Gumbald, and offers Finn help by telling him to eat the heart to gain strength, though this only winds up making him sick, which could also be of metaphorical significance.
Finn mentions her on multiple occasions during the events of "Simon Petrikov" and goes to visit her when he and Simon go their separate ways.
Abilities[]
- Is very swift and agile.
- Has magic arrows that she can levitate. Her arrow can deflect acidic attack from Grumbo.

- Can travel through grass.
- Can become a tree or log and attach to another tree.
- Can detect the use of plant-based magic from others.
- Is capable of levitation, as well as at least some level of flight.
- Can transform into a large hawk, and presumably other types of animals as well although only the hawk has been shown.
- Has "Huntress Vision" which allows her to see magic normally hidden to others, as well as see in greater detail and higher-speed (similar to slow-motion photography), such as when she saw Fern use his powers to cheat in a game against Finn. Unlike Ice King's "Wizard Eyes" ability, it does not come with hallucinations or hysteria.
- Can produce a magic yellow beam attack from hands.

I, uhā¦ I worry that hard meat don't get eat. That is to say, if I ever find what I'm looking for, I'll become soft and cease to matter in this world. Fear of softness is what drove me to the mad and sad world of wizarding. And Finn (kisses Finn), my flute spell was for you too. You're an exceptional beast and you have great hair, but exceptional beasts like us cannot fall in loveāthat is the secret of ordinary people. |

Trivia[]
- In "Wizard Battle," Huntress Wizard was the only female wizard to compete in the Wizard Battle. Other female wizards (the Lady Wizard 1, Lady Wizard 2, and Science Whyzard) who showed up for the competition were turned away or got turned into cats when they tried to leave, because they didn't want to kiss a girl (Princess Bubblegum) on the mouth.
- Andy Ristaino stated that Huntress Wizard might have battled just to test her skills.[1]
- However, it's interesting to note that she is seen cheering alongside the rest of the wizards when the prize was announced.
- She was designed by Michelle Xin.[2]
- She speaks for the first time in "Reign of Gunters."
- She displays the ability to magically levitate her arrows in "Reign of Gunters."
- Although she has arrows, she is rarely seen with a bow. It could be that she does not need one, due to her levitation ability.
- She does use a bow in the episode "Betty." This is likely because of Bella Noche's ability to negate all magic, which would cause her to lose her levitation ability.
- In "Seventeen," Huntress Wizard uses a bow when launching arrows at Fern (as the Green Knight).
- In "Come Along With Me," she is seen using a bow to attack a candy person who is spying on Princess Bubblegum, though she later uses magic to fire arrows in the same episode.
- Her ability to transform into a log is used to reference the phrase 'I slept like a log', as she was literally sleeping as a log until the point when she woke up.
- Because she is a wizard, she is likely very long-lived, doesn't age, or is possibly even immortal, so her age is seemingly irrelevant.
- Many aspects of Huntress Wizard's character seem to be a reference to Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting, vegetation, and game.
- Both are associated with archery, can commune with animals, and live deep in the forest.
- Artemis leads a group of dryads, and Huntress Wizard is friends with the Spirit Dream Warrior, who is some kind of plant creature.
- Huntress Wizard's first encounter with Finn seems like a reversal of a Greek myth where Artemis punishes a hunter for watching her bathe.
- Since Huntress Wizardās a Human in Vampire World, it is heavily implied that Huntress Wizard's ancestors were originally human before mutating into humanoids.
- One of Farmworld Finn's children strongly resembles Vampire World Huntress and Hunter in that he has green, catlike eyes and auburn hair, though this could just be a coincidence.
