Nicara (The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo)

Nicara (Linda Gary; 1944-1995) is the main villainess from "A Spooky Little Ghoul Like You," the 7th episode of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo (airdate October 19, 1985). She is an evil demonic enchantress, and one of the escapees from the Chest of Demons.
Nicara made her entrance at the annual warlock convention in New Orleans--on Friday the 13th--with Bogel and Weerd waiting for her. She used her love trance to get into the convention, and once she entered, Nicara planned to use her spell to drain the powers of every warlock attending, including Vincent Van Ghoul--the most powerful warlock in the world. She used her spell on Vincent's old friend, fellow warlock Victor Voudini, and upon seeing Nicara, Vincent ran off. However, Flim Flam (unaware of Nicara's true intentions and believing that she and Vincent would make a good couple) informed the villainess that Vincent was in his hotel room.
The gang tracked Nicara while she was with Voudini, and while doing so, Shaggy and Scooby witnessed Nicara using her kiss to drain Voudini of all of his power, before she went off to see Vincent. Nicara got into Vincent's room by disguising her voice to sound like Scooby's, and after resisting at first, Vincent ended up under Nicara's evil spell--with the gang arriving too late to save him. The group made various successful attempts to keep Nicara and Vincent from kissing, which threatened Nicara's plan greatly. Her powers could only work on Friday the 13th, and would run out by midnight. However, Vincent proposed to Nicara while under her spell, which was a benefit to her plans.
After Bogel and Weerd failed to bring Vincent to her, Nicara summoned various evil spirits to do what her ghostly henchmen couldn't do. The wedding ceremony took place with 10 minutes remaining to midnight, and it was at that moment that the group appeared to cause a distraction, with Daphne posing as Vincent's wife while the rest posed as his children. Nicara exposed their ruse, but with the clock striking midnight, the demonic enchantress hurriedly planted her kiss on Vincent. With midnight having passed, Nicara's powers were ineffective, resulting in Vincent easily brushing her off. Now defeated, Nicara was sent back to the Chest of Demons, but not before vowing revenge on Vincent.
