Description[]

Manitou in the 2010s cancelled series
Manitou Duncan is a supporting character in the show. He is Tara's maternal great-grandfather, and Isabella's father. He accidentally turned himself into a talking dog, but comments that it actually isn't so bad. He assists Isabella in raising Tara, as his granddaughter, Selena Duncan, is not shown in the series.
In the 2021 series, he is much smaller and dons golden spectacles. His true human form as a high spellbinder is seen briefly in the opening theme song.

His daughter, Isabella
Personality[]
He is fond of gourmet food, but Isabella keeps him off of it, claiming that he'll be "healthier" that way. He is also more laid-back than his daughter, and he usually attempts to sway Isabella whenever Isabella and Tara argue.
Manitou's personality as a youth is also implied to be very similar to Cal's, as in "Volcan Heart", Manitou states that when he was his [Cal's] age, he sent a valentine to every pretty spellbinder on the block.
