History[]

Early life[]

Mary Anne Gleardan was a very intelligent young prodigy who wanted to go to college, but was kept in high school by her parents to develop social skills. Gleardan also claimed to have "great ideas" to share with the town council, but was denied by the Mayor Fred Jones, Sr. due to her young age.

Learning about the legend of Que Horrifico in an Honours class, Gleardan created the Que Horrifico disguise to scare the adults out of Crystal Cove. She found her costume in her high school's theatre department, then bribed the children to pretend to be "spookified monsters" to scare their parents.

Mary Anne unmasked.

Gleardan was hired by Mayor Jones as a tutor for his son, Fred Jones, Jr., who was failing a civics class. She first introduced herself to Fred in the library.

Disguised as Que Horrifico, Gleardan then played her pan flute, "spookifying" all the children in two neighbourhoods.

Gleardan was then seen berating Fred for missing a tutoring session.

Disguised as Que Horrifico, Gleardan attacked an unoccupied home used by Mystery Inc. as a trap. She was caught after the "spookified" children abandoned their plan after sitcom Broccoli Head appeared on the house's television.[1]

Season two[]

MI meet inmate Mary Anne Gleardan

Prison contact.

When Mystery Incorporated determined that the Krampus was attacking bad children, they visited Gleardan in prison because she would be an inevitable target for the monster. They were able to arrange for Mary Anne to receive a reduced prison sentence in exchange for helping catch the Krampus, but this offer was refused.

Krampus attacked the prison and kidnapped Mary Anne, taking her to an abandoned doll factory. Krampus was revealed to be Charlie the Robot, who had gone missing from the Crystal Cove Spook Museum.

It was revealed that Mystery Inc. created the Krampus disguise to distract their predecessors while they stole pieces of the Planispheric Disk. Gleardan was part of this heist and received a reduced prison sentence for her help. Other key participants of this heist were Jason Wyatt, Hot Dog Water, and ex-Mayor Jones. [2]
