Linda Greybeck (Wizards of Waverly Place)

Linda Greybeck (Robin Riker) is a villainess from Wizards of Waverly Place, appearing in episode 4.13, "Meet the Werewolves" (alternately titled, "Alex Meets the Parents"; airdate June 17, 2011). She is the werewolf mother of Mason Greybeck (Alex Russo's boyfriend).
The episode had Alex eager to meet Mason's parents during the Autumn Moon Feast, a werewolf tradition. However, Mason had trepidations due to his parents only wanting him to date other werewolves; even going as far as to conceal Alex's identity as a wizard. Alex's first impression wasn't a good one at first, as Linda was put off by Alex's impeccable scent, but loved that Harper wasn't as clean. Alex used her wand to turn herself and Harper into werewolves to appease Mason and his family, which works; both Linda and Grant were very impressed with Alex's behavior throughout the event, especially during the contest to find the Squeaky Bone (which Alex won). During the contest, Alex wrecked the entire feast, mainly to get back at Mason for lying to her and having her hide her status as a wizard.
Linda was set to give the Horn of Plenty Award (a cornucopia that Linda herself made out of dried sheep intestines) to Alex, and it was later on that Mason revealed the entire truth: that Alex is a wizard. The revelation shocked the entire family, especially after Alex changed herself back to her true form, and afterwards, Linda expressed happiness for Mason's relationship with Alex, only to reveal that she was lying and had planned to eat Alex. Regarding her callous reasoning, the evil Linda stated that Alex had destroyed their feast, with her and Grant both agreeing that they had no other option but to dine on Alex. However, Mason managed to distract his parents and the rest of the family with the bone, allowing him and Alex to escape.
