mother gothel
Mother Gothel is the main antagonist of Disney's 2010 animated feature film Tangled. She is a vain and wicked crone who had retained youth for hundreds of years through the healing properties of a magic, golden flower. When the flower's powers were unintentionally transferred to the hair of a newborn Princess Rapunzel, Gothel kidnapped the baby and locked her away in a secluded tower, where she hoarded Rapunzel's healing magic. To keep the princess under her control, Gothel posed as Rapunzel's loving, albeit overprotective, mother with a mission to protect her daughter from the "cruelty" of the outside world.
