Zara (Be Cool, Scooby Doo!)

Zara (Kat Khavari) is the villainess of "Protein Titans 2", episode 2.22 of Be Cool, Scooby Doo! (airdate March 14, 2018). She was a programmer for video game company Brainsplosion Games and an old friend of Velma Dinkley.
The episode began with Velma being invited to the Brainsplosion headquarters, with Velma revealing their primary motivation was to convince her to sell them an algorithm she and Zara made in fifth grade, which would allow their games to simulate smells and tastes. When greeted by Velma upon her arrival at Brainsplosion, Zara gave an unethused response, mistakenly believing Fred Jones to be Velma's father and giving the gang a brief tour of the facilities.
Zara also revealed that a supposed real "Ghost Chef" (the villain of Protein Titans, Brainsplosion's most popular game) was terrorizing the company before sending Velma to speak to the company owner Mr. Junior, encouraging her friend to listen to Mr. Junior's offer regarding their code. This would later serve as foreshadowing to Zara's true nature as a greedy villainess, as she was the one behind the Ghost Chef wrecking havoc at Brainsplosion. Zara was revealed to be desiring to leave Brainsplosion and get new employment with Megan Flemming, another wealthy video game company rivalling Junior's who was willing to pay even more for Zara's video game idea (entitled Diaper Doomsday) equipped with Zara and Velma's algorithm; a deal that would be worth more than 85 million dollars.
When Junior refused to let Zara out of the intellectual property agreement she signed, which prevented her from taking her video game idea to Megan's company, the evil Zara used the Ghost Chef character from Protein Titans to begin terrorizing Brainsplosion, utilizing her technological expertise to create her disguise. Her motivation for doing so was to destroy Junior's company and thus mitigate her intellectual property agreement, with Megan even breaking into Brainsplosion's headquarters in an attempt to destroy the document herself (though she was unsuccessful due to being caught by Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby). Zara also began terrorizing the gang, though she was ultimately defeated when Shaggy and Scooby used their skills at Protein Titans to back Zara into Fred's trap. After being handcuffed by the police and unmasked, the gang revealed what motivated Zara's plot, with Velma expressing disappointment in Zara's greedy and callous actions. After blasting Velma for her "big heart" foiling her plan, Zara submitted herself to arrest and was taken away.
