Phylidia Flanders (Kimberly Brooks) is the main villainess from "Riva Ras Regas," episode 1.06 of What's New, Scooby-Doo? (airdate November 2, 2002).
Phylidia was the assistant for famous magician Rufus Raucous, until Rufus faked his death and disappeared after one of his performances. Since then, Phylidia served as the assistant for a much lower level magician named Mr. Wacky Pants; a job she hated. Phylidia wanted to become the headliner and made that particular demand to club owner Del Stone.
When Stone refused her demand, the evil Phylidia decided to run him out of business, doing so by dressing as Rufus Raucous' ghost and scaring customers away. Phylidia's evil plan was, of course, thwarted by Mysteries Inc. when her shoes were magnetically stuck to the floor as a result of a trap set up by the mystery solvers. What also gave Phylidia away was how Rufus' pet cat reacted to the ghost. As Velma deduced, the cat's behavior meant that the ghost had to be someone familiar. When she was unmasked, Rufus (who had come out of hiding to help the Scooby Gang catch the culprit) questioned her motivation and Phylidia bitterly recounted her rationale behind her crimes before being arrested.
