Obnoxious In-Laws: To Muriel, so much that she's one of the few people Muriel openly dislikes.My Beloved Smother: She treats Eustace like Eustace treats Courage.Ironically, since she's always mean to him. Morality Pet: Seems to be this for her son Eustace.Miniature Senior Citizens: Much shorter than her son (who is not exactly young, either).Lantern Jaw of Justice: She has a huge chin, minus the justice.However, she prefers to show her "heart of gold" to her son's dog instead. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Downplayed, but it's implied that she has a love-hate relationship with Eustace, in the rare moments when she's more kind/vulnerable in front of him.In fact, she's such a jerk that Muriel of all people hates her and doesn't mind showing it. Jerkass: She's just as nasty and unpleasant as Eustace himself, which explains where he got it from in the first place.Hypocrite: Makes fun of her son for being ugly and bald, even if she has the same problem and is aware of it.The fact that she makes the audience feel sorry for Eustace, who is a Hate Sink in his own right, speaks volumes about how horrible she is. Hate Sink: She is a greedy, selfish, slimy abusive parent.Freudian Excuse: "McPhearson Phantom" implies her own childhood was pretty bad, too.Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Much like her son, she has glasses and a Lack of Empathy.Fiery Redhead: Well, she's bald but has a red wig.Evil Redhead: Her red hair is actually a wig, but whatever.It's implied that she's the reason Eustace is how he is. Evil Matriarch: She is abusive to Eustace and favored his deceased older brother, Horst.For example in "The Sand Whale Strikes" she's initially friendly to Courage but then spends the rest of the episode mistreating him and even calling him "stupid dog". Downplayed after her debut episode when she becomes more of a Tsundere. Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She seems to like Courage.It helps having many people on her payroll. Corrupt Corporate Executive: She's the CEO of Growth Industries, and occasionally does things that are unethical and/or illegal for her company's sake.Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: She hasn't appeared in any episodes after "Scuba Scuba Doo", which may have been because of her voice actress's death.Bald of Evil: She's bald, but she covers it up with her wig.Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: The only time she shows some affection for her son is the end of her debut episode, despite being mean to him most of the time.She explicitly stated she didn't care that her son got eaten, and mistreated Courage through the episode. She gets devoured by the Sand Whale in "The Sand Whale Strikes".And despite not being responsible for the death of the Phantom's husband, she still thinks it was funny he died. During the episode Ma was planning on working with the Phantom to injure her son in order to destroy their marriage. In the "McPhearson Phantom" she gets haunted by the phantom after the phantom found out her great-aunt was the one responsible for killing her husband.Asshole Victim: Like her son, she is a frequent victim of this.Abusive Mom: She and her favored son Horst mistreated Eustace.Occasionally she is the antagonist of a few episodes, especially when it has something to do with her wig-making company. Rather equally a Jerkass to her son as he is to Courage, she insults Eustace at every opportunity and as a contrast to her son, she is nice to Courage.
