Mrs. Vanders was the housekeeper of Castle Von Dinkenstein and the disguise of Mama Mione. She was part of a conspiracy group based in Transylvania, Pennsylvania, looking to exact their revenge on the gang for uncovering their past illegal acts which sent them all to jail.
Physical appearance[]
Mrs. Vanders resembled a middle-aged woman in her late fifties, with long brown hair full of gray streaks formed into a large beehive-like hairstyle. She has a long and gaunt face, a pointy nose, and very dark circles around her slanted eyes. She also stood significantly taller than both Fred and Shaggy. She wore a Victorian-styled dress commonly worn by housekeepers (which consisted of a white blouse with an upstanding tight collar and long sleeves with ruffled cuffs, a moss-green sleeveless corset-vest with light green puffed shoulders, and a light green ankle-long skirt. She also wore brown high-heeled 1800-boots with golden buttons and a large red brooch attached to the blouse).
Personality[]
Mrs. Vanders was seemingly quite proud of her skill as a housekeeper, becoming annoyed whenever a member of the gang complained or joked about the state of the castle. She was also seemingly quite apathetic, since she lacked any kind of emotions during most of her appearances, excluding when she was caught along with the other conspirators, appearing both angry and annoyed when she was arrested and unmasked to reveal her true identity.
History[]
Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy[]
She greeted the gang when they arrived at Castle Von Dinkenstein. She addressed Velma Dinkley as "Von Dinkenstein girl", while showing the gang to their rooms. At the laboratory, she revealed the Von Dinkenstein monster frozen in a block of ice. Velma intended to prove the monster was fake by recreating the Baron's experiment. Once Velma was alone, Vanders hypnotized Velma into believing she could recreate her uncle's experiment.
She witnessed the experiment that brought the monster to life.

Mama Mione unmasked.
Later, she celebrated with the rest of the town, believing the gang to have perished in the castle's explosion. During the night, she was chased to the train station by Shaggy and Scooby-Doo's ghosts, which were actually their clothes, controlled by puppet strings. The conspiracy group were caught in the train, and shortly thereafter their identities were revealed; with Mrs. Vanders being revealed to be Mama Miona, aka, Old Iron Face. The conspirators revealed they met each other online at an "anti-Scooby Gang" hate group, and when they got out, brought the castle, as well as insinuating themselves within the town, all to get the gang to come and knock them all of at once.

Notes/trivia[]
- She appears to have excessive flatulence as she was constantly passing gas while giving the gang a tour of Castle Von Dinkenstein, much to their displeasure, as well as when she was put in the back of a police car in the end.
- Shaggy, despite grabbing her by the nose during their first encounter, did not realize that her face was in reality a mask.
- She's also the only disguise among the conspirators that included a mask and attached wig, since Lila only needed a switch of clothing, and Magnus and Crawls only needed fake moustaches and new outfits.
