EDA, or Exploratory Data Analysis, is a crucial step in the data analysis process. It allows analysts to gain insights and understand the patterns and relationships in the data. However, with the advent of more advanced machine learning techniques and tools, there has been a question of whether EDA still holds its magical abilities. EDA, in its essence, involves visualizing and summarizing the data to uncover its underlying structure. It includes techniques such as scatter plots, histograms, and box plots, which can provide a comprehensive understanding of the data's distribution, outliers, and correlations. These techniques have been the backbone of data analysis for decades.
All aboard for a fantastic fall adventure with your family at Edaville! Board our steam train and take a scenic ride to the pumpkin patch located on the beach of the beautiful Atwood Reservoir.
This includes a gold ticket, so upon your return to Edaville, your family will be able to experience the amusement rides, lights, and regular train rides. Well, my back doesn t hurt anymore, which is great, Eda began fervently, sounding just like every old person who had ever complained about their back.
These techniques have been the backbone of data analysis for decades. However, with the rise of sophisticated machine learning algorithms and automated data analysis tools, some argue that the magic of EDA is diminishing. These algorithms and tools can quickly process large amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions without the need for manual exploration.

Raine is not expecting much from Hexside's A Glimpse Into Your Future talk. They're expecting some canned advice, some boring speeches, and general misery. At least Eda is here to suffer through it with them– or she is until the professor brings up time travel.
Or: Raine Whispers, Hexside student, meets Eda the Owl Lady, University of Wild Magic principal.

Work Text:
Raine had been alternating between being excited for and dreading this lesson all week.
Officially, it was titled A Glimpse Into Your Future. Raine was pretty sure that it would just be platitudes and canned advice like Just try your best, and you’ll go far! So the dread came from their utter dismay at being forced to spend an hour of their life listening to someone’s boring, pre-planned speech.
But as for the excitement– well… Eda was going to be in the class with them.
As Eda was on the Potions track, and Raine was on the Bard track, they didn’t see much of each other throughout the day, except for lunch. Normally, they wouldn’t even take this class together. But given Raine’s status as a transfer student, and given that Eda had skipped the grade that usually completed this class, the two of them had wound up in the same A Glimpse Into Your Future presentation. Raine would have a whole extra hour with Eda– even if it was going to be boring as heck.
Well. Not H.E.C.K. That hadn’t been boring in the slightest. At least, not at the end.
But, still. Time with Eda was always time well spent, so Raine figured they could just wait in the hallway for Eda to arrive.
Unfortunately, by the time Eda deigned to show up, they were already five minutes late to class– a cardinal sin at Hexside– but with Eda smiling sheepishly at them, Raine couldn’t bring themself to be mad.
So the two of them snuck in late, and Vice Principal Bump, standing along the wall, gave them a tired glare, but Eda just gave him a sunny grin and thumbs up in response.
At the front of the class, there was a professor, already halfway through their lecture and with no signs of slowing down. He seemed to be talking about– well, their futures. Obviously.
“Now, I’m sure that a lot of you are worried about your futures after Hexside, career-wise,” the professor was saying. “Coven-wise, and so on.”
Learning about covens? That would actually be kind of cool, Raine thought, leaning forwards. Hexside was just getting better and better. They stole a glance at Eda, and tried to fight a blush. Well– meeting Eda was hard to top. Being friends with Eda was even harder to top. Even the coolest parts about Hexside couldn’t compete with the girl sitting next to them– even if Eda was currently picking her nose.
“So,” the professor went on, “to alleviate that fear, we will be bringing in your future selves!” The professor paused dramatically in the wrong place in his sentence, seemed to regret it as the kids around Raine started to gasp and chatter in excitement, and quickly finished: “–from thirty five years in the future!”
“Oh!” Eda cried, shooting her hand in the air (Raine deeply hoped that she didn’t fling boogers everywhere, but knowing Eda that was unlikely). “Me first, me first!”
The professor chuckled, holding out a hand. “Yes, yes. You must be Miss Clawthorne the younger. Bump told me about you. Hold on a moment, miss. You’ll want to hear what I’m going to say next.” He lowered his voice dramatically. “Now, you might be thinking: how is this different from time pools? Well, here’s the fun part. You’d better hope you have friends you can trust in this class, because your future selves will be–” he paused again, eyes glittering with mischief, “taking over your bodies!”
“What?” Raine and several other students said at once.
Oblivious, the professor blissfully continued on as if nobody had spoken. “So you won’t remember a thing. But, hey, just tell your friends to take notes– or better yet, write a note to take notes yourself!” He grinned, spreading his arms.
“Awesome!” Eda squealed, and launched her hand into the air again.
“Wait a minute,” Raine said, shoving Eda’s hand back down. “How long will this last?”
“About twelve hours,” the professor said. “I’ll do it to whoever wants to in the class.”
“Raine, please,” Eda whimpered. “Raine, this will be so cool, I really want to, come on, Raine–”
Raine sighed, letting go of Eda’s hand, and immediately, Eda was practically leaping out of her seat. “Me!”
Grinning, the professor tilted his head in acquiescence, and Eda charged down the aisle.
The second she reached the professor, he was making some kind of complicated movement with his hands, and in a puff of smoke, all of Eda was suddenly obscured.
There was dead silence.
Raine found themself, alongside the rest of the class, leaning forward eagerly.
Around where Eda had been, the smoke swirled silently, slowly dissolving away, revealing… Eda. Unchanged.
And then Eda blinked, looked down at her hands, and immediately lit up. “Hey!” she said. “My hand grew back!”
Her hair shifted in front of her face as she spoke, and Eda snatched at it, then yelped when all she did was tug her own head down. Then she did a double take at it. “Woah. How’d my hair get orange again?” She squinted around the classroom. “Luz, King, if you two used human hair dye to try to draw an explosion spell again–”
Eda’s eyes fell on Bump, and then she went dead silent, which had to be the first time Eda had ever done that for a teacher.
“Uh,” Eda finally said, after the silence had stretched on for a second too long. “Just so you know, this is probably the kids’ fault, not mine.”
Bump opened his mouth to respond, but he never got the chance, as there was suddenly a high-pitched squealing noise coming from the front of the room.
“It worked!” the professor cried, reaching towards Eda. “It worked– hello, miss, how are you?” he began pumping Eda’s hand up and down enthusiastically.
“Miss?” Eda echoed, then grinned. “Well, sure.” She frowned. “Uh– quick question. What worked? What’s going on?” She looked down at herself. “Am I in a Hexside uniform? Is this one of Goop’s illusions? Tell the kid he’s getting good. Can I go now?”
As the professor babbled an explanation, Raine watched Eda’s expression go from confused, to dismayed, to horrified, to crafty, to excited, and then, carefully blank.
“Innnnteresting,” Eda said once he was finished, inspecting her fingernails as she spoke. “So, I could… do anything right now? Like– to change the past?”
The professor grimaced. “Well– probably not from your perspective. You’ll be going back to your time no matter what, I think. But from our perspective, yes, you can change things.”
“Sweet,” Eda said, and snatched up a piece of chalk, then turned to grin at the rest of the class. “All right, kids, welcome to Future 101. I’m Eda the Owl Lady, and I’m the professor now!”
One very confusing rant about taxes and how to rebel against authoritarian governments later (“just in case, wink, wink,”) , Eda was sitting cross-legged in the seat beside Raine, looking very smug. The rest of the class had already left– nobody else had particularly wanted to get possessed by their future selves, especially not after hearing about how taxes worked.
“This is great,” Eda said, leaning back in her chair. “But… look, there’s so much that’s going to happen in the future. I’m not sure if people will remember it all.”
“The professor said you could write it all down,” Raine suggested.
Eda’s eyes lit up. “Write it all down! What a great idea!” which was a sentence Raine had never heard Eda say about anything, ever. Almost immediately, though, Eda was hunched over a piece of paper, scribbling. “Hey, Raine, do you think I should go chronologically, or just start with the important stuff first? Probably the important stuff, right? Like how Belos is evil?”
“Wait, Belos is what?” Raine said.
Eda smacked her forehead. “I knew I forgot something when I was up there lecturing you guys! Damn it. Well, no need to worry, I’ll explain it all in this letter.” She paused, squinting upwards. “Man, having young eyes again is weird. I didn’t know ceilings were that detailed.”
Young eyes. Now there was a bizarre phrase.
“. So…” Raine began awkwardly, “uh… is it, like, fun… being young again?”
Eda brightened, and Raine tried to heave a discreet sigh of relief.
“Well, my back doesn’t hurt anymore, which is great,” Eda began fervently, sounding just like every old person who had ever complained about their back. Raine was sure that spinal pain couldn’t be that bad. “And I have my hand back!” She wiggled both hands in Raine’s face like they needed proof. “It’s going to be so much easier to draw glyphs like this.”
Glyphs? Before Raine could open their mouth to ask what Eda was talking about, Eda suddenly went rigid.
“Oh, no,” she said. “Glyphs– magic– my elixir! I’m a kid again, oh, crap, I need my–” Eda stopped short. “Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.” She whirled to face Raine and pointed directly at them. “Raine. You came to Hexside right before. So. What month is it?”
“Marchgustuary,” Raine said. “Right before what?”
Edna’s eyes narrowed. “Almost,” she said, half to herself. “But not yet. Oh, Titan. Not yet! It hasn’t happened yet!” She grabbed Raine and pulled them into a giant hug that had Raine gasping for breath and blushing hard at the feeling of being pressed against Eda’s heartbeat. “It hasn’t happened yet!”
“Um,” Raine said, “what hasn’t happened yet?”
Immediately, Eda let go of them, eyes wide. “Uh– nothing!” she said. “Nothing at all! The next few months are totally normal, I promise! Nothing weird or out of the ordinary is going to happen! IgottagofindLily, byeeee!”
Eda scrambled out the door, leaving her bag, her letter, and Raine behind.
They saw Eda again at lunch.
In the two hours between the lecture and lunchtime, Raine had heard about Eda fighting an army of ghouls in the girls’ locker room “to make things easier on her future self,” Eda trying to sneak off school grounds “to try to find her roommate’s father,” Eda nearly laughing herself sick over the well-known love triangle between Alador, Darius, and Odalia, and Eda getting into a physical fight with the librarian after he told her there was no such thing as “owl demon tube things.”
And that was just the things they had heard about. Raine was sure Eda had done a million other things in that time that may never see the light of day.
“Sorry I ran off,” Eda said once Raine found her at lunch, and took a massive bite of her sandwich. “I ’ad t’talk t’Lily abou’ smfing. Don’ w’rry abou’ it.” She swallowed. “By the way, can you do me a favor and let Younger Me know that the Emperor’s Coven will only be accepting one person on the day they hold tryouts? And also to make sure that neither me nor Lilith end up in it? Thanks.” She took another bite of her sandwich before Raine could process the insanity of that sentence, never mind begin to formulate a response.
“Wait, what?” they finally managed to splutter out. “But you want to be in the Emperor’s Coven. You and Lilith said you’d go through it together! Even if you think Belos is evil, or whatever–”
Eda slurped loudly on her apple blood. “Yeah, well, plans change.” She paused. “And while we’re at it, you shouldn’t join a coven, either. They’re all bad news.”
Eda waved a hand. “Besides, I already told Lily to let Younger Me know that I’m forfeiting.”
Raine rubbed their forehead. “Eda, you can’t just be covenless.”
“And why not?” Eda said. “I’ve been covenless for decades.”
Decades. Eda had been alive for so long that she could say the word decades, in the plural. That was… a really weird way to think about Eda.
Eda was inspecting her apple blood. “Man, I miss this stuff. Ever since the apocalypse happened, you can never get a decent cup of apple blood anymore. Sucks that the best stuff was on the Left Arm– Belos couldn’t have lifted the other one up, nooo, he had to lift up the one with the best apple blood farms.”
“Hold on, ever since the what happened?” Raine said.
“Apocalypse,” Eda said, and for some indiscernible reason, stuck the box of apple blood in her hair, where it immediately tumbled loose and clattered to the ground.
Eda jumped at the noise. “Woah!” she said, to no one in particular. “Have I really not learned that spell yet?” Without bothering to wait for a response, she picked the box back up and put it up her sleeve instead.
“Eda,” Raine said, “focus. Apocalypse?”
“Oh, yeah,” Eda said, and paused, for once looking serious. “Okay. Raine. Listen to me. Emperor Belos is evil. For real. He’s from the Human world– not that that automatically makes him bad, I mean, one of my best friends is a human– uh, but anyway, he’s this thing called a witch hunter.”
Raine blinked. “A what?”
Eda shrugged. “He wants to lock away all of our powers and take the world for himself or something, blah, blah, blah, you know how it is.”
“I’m going to need a lot more detail,” Raine said.
“Raine?” a new voice said.
Raine nearly leaped out of their skin.
They whirled around to see Lilith Clawthorne, standing almost directly behind them, head tilted in a way that, weirdly enough, reminded Raine of Eda when she was thinking hard.
“Uh, yeah?” Raine said, puzzled.
“Oh, it’s all good, Lily,” Eda said cheerfully, leaning forwards on the table until she was almost totally sprawled out on it. “I already told them that we aren’t joining that cult.”
Lilith’s perpetual frown deepened. “It’s the Emperor’s Coven, not a cult,” she said. “And I’m not totally convinced that I won’t be joining, you know.”
Eda blew a raspberry. “You’ll be happier if you don’t,” she said. “Trust me, all right, Lily?”
Lilith didn’t respond, but her frown didn’t lessen, either. She just scowled at the floor.
And then a scream cut through the air.
Raine flinched, looking around for the noise, and was rewarded when they saw a stampede of students running through the hall outside the lunchroom.
“Ghoul!” someone in the crowd was shouting. “Ghoul attack!”
Immediately, the entire room was in an uproar. Most kids fled immediately to join the throng outside. Raine saw someone jump straight out the window, heedless of the glass, and once that exit had been opened, more and more started pouring out after them.
“What the heck?” they said. “What’s going on?”
“Uh,” Eda said as chaos reigned around them. “Well– I might know. I was cleaning out the girls’ locker room earlier– long story, trying to help my future self help this human kid get into Hexside, just in case that still happens– and I thiiink I made the ghouls mad.”
Another shriek cut through the air, and Raine shot to their feet.
“Okay,” they said, taking a moment to be grateful that everyone else had already fled. “It’s probably mostly mad at Eda. I say we draw it away from the rest of the students.”
“Good idea,” Eda said, and reached out– and nothing happened. She looked down at her hands. “Damn it! No Palisman yet?”
And then there was an unholy shrieking noise, and a ghoul came crashing around the corner.
Like all ghouls, it was giant, slimy, gray, and too gross for its own good. Its tongue waggled and lolled out of its mouth, and its yellowish eyes rolled in its head.
Immediately, Raine focused, and they whistled out a spell. The curtains on the windows tore themselves out of their places, then hurtled towards the ghoul, briefly wrapping themselves around its head before it broke free with a roar. Lilith ran forwards next, spinning a circle in the air as she went, and the ghoul was hurled backwards into the wall, shrieking furiously. It regained its bearings and shot out a spell of its own, in a burst of light whipping outwards.
Above Raine, glass shattered, and they ducked and rolled to avoid it, looking up just in time to catch Eda’s eyes across the room.
“Hey!” Raine said to her. “This is your fault! Are you planning to help us, or what?”
Above them, the ghoul roared in frustration, and Raine dodged as it dove towards them, then sprinted over to Eda as Lilith started pelting the thing with various magical blasts and the occasional textbook and apple blood box.
“How am I supposed to help?” Eda yelled as Raine slammed into the wall beside her. “I’m, like, twelve or eight or something right now! I can’t exactly transform!”
Transform? Raine thought, but there was no time for them to figure that out. “Are you insane?” they shouted instead. “Hit it with a spell or something! Aren’t you a full-grown witch?”
“Oh, yeah!” Eda replied, and dropped to the ground, scratching out some kind of symbol into the wood.
Raine and Lilith shared a look that was equal parts horrified and confused, and it was probably the closest Raine had ever felt to Lilith in their life.
And then a vine exploded out of the ground and smacked the ghoul straight out of the air.
And then a blast of fire came from the same direction, making the ghoul shriek in pain.
And then there was a sharp point of ice, skewering the ghoul completely.
And then it was over.
Raine looked over to where Eda had been standing, and saw her crouching beside three circles, grinning widely.
“The greatest witch on the Boiling Isles,” she bragged as Raine and Lilith hurried over, dumbfounded.
As Raine drew closer, they realized that the circles they’d seen weren’t just circles– there were lines and shapes inside of them. And something about them… seeing those shapes made the hair on the back of Raine’s neck stand up.
“That’s magic,” Lilith breathed, looking down at the symbols. Her eyes widened in what Raine could only classify as excitement, which was the first time Lilith had ever bothered to show emotion in Raine’s presence that wasn’t either boredom or seething jealousy-slash-rage. “That’s… old magic.”
“Yeah, and it’s all mine,” Eda bragged, and then went even paler than usual. “Well, it’s not mine– I just picked it up from a friend of mine– a kid, really– wait, but she’s not my kid– but she’s also not just some rando I met off the street. Well, she is, but she’s also, kind of, my kid, but she has a mother who loves her very much– and I do have a kid, but it’s not that kid, though actually he’s learning glyphs too– uh, I had to use the old version here, because haha, it’s the past, but the new version is much cooler and more creative in my unbiased opinion– don’t ever tell him I said that–”
“What is going on,” Lilith mumbled to Raine, with zero inflection in her voice, and, okay, maybe Raine should just accept that this was a day where, incredibly, they were somehow more on the same wavelength as Lilith than Eda.
Eda didn’t notice. She just kept babbling: “–but if you hang on a sec I can draw the light one. If you look close it’s like a little tiny version of him, you can even see the horns– he’s hugging a little human, that’s pretty adorable, right–”
She was interrupted by the shrieking of the bell.
“Oh, no,” Lilith said. “We have to get to class!”
“Seriously?” Eda said, snapping out of her rant. “We just fought a ghoul. And I’m from the future. Can’t we just skip?”
“Coven tryouts are coming up!” Lilith insisted, hauling Eda to her feet. “And even if you are going to forfeit, you still need to graduate!”
“Graduate schmaduate,” Eda said.
“She’s right,” Raine said, and grinned sheepishly at the betrayed look Eda sent their way.
“You don’t need school for success,” Eda sniffed. “I never paid attention, and look at me! I own a house and have kids and everything!” She paused. “And so what if the house is possessed?”
“You own a possessed house?” Lilith said.
“Can we actually go back to the kids thing?” Raine said at the same time.
Eda waved them both off. “I have a better question. Like where the heck I’m going to sleep tonight. See, I was thinking I could just stay at the school. Blondie lived here for days, I can do it for a few hours. I’m way tougher than Mr. Bad But Sad Boy.”
“Or you could just come home with me,” Lilith said, deadpan.
Eda paused, and a complicated expression flickered across her face. “I guess maybe I could,” she said reluctantly. “It’ll be weird to see Mom and Dad again.”
“See–?” Lilith began, then gasped, hands over her mouth. “Oh, no. Are they– are they dead in your time? How? When? Can we stop it?”
“Oh, jeez, no,” Eda said. “No, they’re not dead, it’s just… uh… complicated. Remember–” she stole a glance at Raine, which was odd, “uh, remember that thing I told you about? It has to do with that.”
Lilith looked baffled. “What? How?”
“Long story,” Eda said. “And we have more important things to talk about. Like, oh, man, that was the class bell, wasn’t it? Isn’t learning important? And would you look at that!” She snatched a poster off the wall and shook it at Raine and Lilith. “Coven tryouts are coming up! And so is graduation! Gotta study for that, huh? Let’s go, and stop talking about things that are uncomfortable!”
“Well, whatever happens with our parents, it won’t happen, anyways!” Lilith said, completely ignoring Eda. “I already promised I wouldn’t try to curse you!”
It took a couple of seconds for that to sink in. Curse you. Curse you. Curse you. Eda was going to be cursed. Lilith was going to–
“You were going to curse her?” Raine demanded.
“Oh, good going, Lils,” Eda said.
Raine whirled to face Eda. “You’re not upset? What kind of curse was it? Is that what you needed to talk to her about earlier?”
Eda just shrugged. “What’s the point in being upset? It hasn’t even happened yet. Besides…” she paused. “Um, besides, you’re all… you’re all kids. It would be like getting mad at Luz or King. I can do it, but… but I know your brains are still kinda smooth, you know? You’re… impulsive, at this age.” She shrugged again. “What I was really mad about was how Lily didn’t tell me for, like, thirty years. But like I said, you’re still kids. Those thirty years haven’t happened yet. And, trust me, Lils– your adult self and I have issues, and I wouldn’t be forgiving her nearly so quickly. But you’re just a kid, and you won’t make her mistakes… will you?”
Meekly, Lilith shook her head. Eda brightened immediately.
“There, see?” she said. “No problems at all.”
Raine did not say all right, and they did not nod in acquiescence, but Eda’s jaw was set, and they knew they weren’t going to get to argue.
When neither Raine nor Lilith said anything else, Eda heaved a sigh of relief and grinned widely at the two of them.
“There, see?” she said. “Conflict de-escalation. That’s the kind of stuff you learn when you’re principal!”
“Wait,” Lilith said.
Somehow, incredibly, despite Eda’s amazing talent for the bizarre– which seemed to have only strengthened with age– the rest of the day went by fairly smoothly. Eda kept writing out her letter– which was so long that the stack of pages was thicker than Raine’s hand– and, after a certain point, started refusing to talk about what she was writing, claiming that it was for her eyes only.
She was still writing when the real Eda came back, and Raine only noticed because the frantic scratching of the pen had suddenly stopped. They glanced up at Eda, who had been hunched over the papers in the empty classroom and scribbling like a madwoman, and found her blinking around in confusion.
“Uh,” she said, and then noticed Raine. “Hey! Did it work? Did you see my future self?” She noticed the papers in front of her. “Oh, wow! No wonder my hand hurts so much.” She picked up the most recent paper. “Just so you know, King’s real father is…” She looked up at Lilith, looking baffled. “That’s the last thing I wrote, I guess. Hope it’s not important. Is there a monarchy in the future? Why– woah!”
Raine interrupted Eda with a giant hug, wrapped tight around her shoulders, and Eda hesitated for a second before gently returning it.
Raine pulled away, and Eda gave them an uncertain grin. “What was that for?” she said.
“Nothing,” Raine said, and gave her a small smile. “Just missed you.” They shuddered. “Seeing you acting like you will as an adult was weird.”
Eda grinned. “Am I cool? Like a cool aunt? Cool aunt Eda?”
Raine rolled their eyes. “You were pretty lame, actually.”
“What?” Eda said. “No! There’s no way. Come on! You’re messing with me, aren’t you? You’re messing with me. Raine! You’re messing with me? I don’t become lame in the future, do I? Oh, no. Do I work for Hexside or something? Did I join a bad coven? That would be lame! Raine!”
Raine grinned. “I’ll never tell.”
But Raine just laughed at her, and when Eda smiled sideways at them, Raine knew that whatever the future held, they could take it– so long as they could keep that smile in their life.
Even if Eda became principal one day.
(Seriously, what kind of a bizarre timeline had her future self come from? Definitely somewhere crazy. Raine didn't think they would mind even that craziness, though.
It sounded like a great story.)
Lilith’s perpetual frown deepened. “It’s the Emperor’s Coven, not a cult,” she said. “And I’m not totally convinced that I won’t be joining, you know.”
This has led to the perception that EDA is becoming less relevant and time-consuming. On the other hand, EDA continues to play a critical role in data analysis. While automated tools and algorithms can provide valuable insights, they are limited by the biases in their training data and algorithmic assumptions. EDA allows analysts to uncover hidden biases, validate assumptions, and make informed decisions about data preprocessing and model selection. It also helps identify data quality issues, missing values, and outliers that can significantly impact the accuracy of the models. Moreover, EDA provides crucial human interpretation and context to the data. It allows analysts to explore the data from different perspectives, ask questions, and generate hypotheses. It enables the discovery of new variables or features that may be relevant to the analysis, leading to better modeling and predictions. EDA also facilitates effective communication of findings to stakeholders, bridging the gap between technical analysis and practical decision-making. In conclusion, while the advancements in technology have undoubtedly enhanced the data analysis process, EDA continues to hold its magic. It enables analysts to deeply understand the data, validate assumptions, and make informed decisions. By combining the power of automated tools with the human intuition of EDA, analysts can extract the most valuable insights from the data and drive meaningful results..
