| “ | A friend… or at least I'd like to be. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri (as the Enchanted Girl) to Cassandra and later, Varian. |
| “ | Ahhhh, finally, the clash of sun and moon has released me from my prison. It's good to be back. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri after being released. |
| “ | Let the age of Zhan Tiri begin! | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri preparing the destruction of Corona. |
Zhan Tiri is the main antagonist of Disney's Tangled animated franchise, being the unseen overarching antagonist of the film and the main antagonist of Tangled: The Series, specifically being the overarching antagonist of Season 1, Season 2, and the first half of Season 3, and the main antagonist of the second half of Season 3.
She is an evil demon from another realm who was first mentioned by Xavier in the episode "Queen for a Day", and made her first appearance in the episode "Painter's Block". Later on, during Season 3, it's revealed that Zhan Tiri was the Enchanted Girl, having pulled the strings from behind the scenes so that the Sundrop and Moonstone would clash, thus freeing Zhan Tiri from her prison so that she can destroy Corona.
It is also revealed that she was once a human sorceress and the former partner of Lord Demanitus before betraying him to gain access to the Sundrop and Moonstone's powers for herself, thus becoming Demanitus's archenemy.
She was voiced by Tara Fitzgerald in her true form, and Jennifer Veal in her Enchanted Girl form.
Personality
| “ | Cassandra knows only what I want her to know. I'm playing her, Rapunzel. She has no idea, but she is under my complete control. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri revealing how she is manipulating Cassandra. |
Zhan Tiri is known in Corona legend as an extremely sadistic, malevolent, and sinister person who won't hesitate to destroy absolutely everything in her path because of some ancient grudge against the kingdom due to Lord Demanitus defeating and imprisoning her. In the past, she attempted to destroy the entire kingdom before being stopped by Lord Demanitus. Zhan Tiri is shown to go to any lengths necessary to escape, such as when she has two of her minions concoct a plan to free her. When both of those failed, she decided to take the matter into her own hands involving Cassandra.
When Zhan Tiri presents herself as the Enchanted Girl, she pretends to be a kind, friendly, and caring person who wants to be Cassandra's friend and wants to do what's best for her. At first, the Enchanted Girl seems like a neutral character, but things start to change.
As the season progress, she shows the audience her true evil nature, as she is trying to corrupt Cassandra's mind. Zhan Tiri begins using Cassandra for her ultimate plan of freeing herself from her imprisonment.
Zhan Tiri's most defining characteristic is not magical abilities causing major disasters, but her mastery of manipulation. She is successfully able to convince Cassandra to turn against Rapunzal simply by showing her past as Mother Gothel's daughter, and later, through the first half of Season Three, it's shown that she can tell people exactly what they want to hear and later admits this, and is also a master liar. Later on, once she is released, even after tricking and lying to Cassandra in front of her, she is still somehow able to convince Cassandra, presumably, that she is still a good person and keeps Cassandra under her control. She does this again after Cassandra finds out she lied about her mother caring about her by manipulating one of Gothel's mirrors, and that she is Zhan Tiri. Zhan Tiri is still able to keep Cassandra under control by making it seem like Rapunzel is trying to destroy her.
When Zhan Tiri is closer to finishing her plans, she constantly becomes even crazier while giving sadistic smiles, and later invades Varian's mind to sadistically taunt him while giving him the clue to opening the fourth incantation to set up a chain of events that enable her to accomplish her goal. She also expresses joy at the idea of Cassandra breaking Rapunzel's spirit, as well as demoralizing Cassandra after betraying her to get her hands on the Moonstone and Sundrop.
Zhan Tiri is also shown to not only understand right and wrong, but loves being evil and takes delight in so. For example, she doesn't deny it when people call her a villain or evil, and views certain good traits, like compassion, as a weakness, and taunts Rapunzel over it in "Race to the Spire". However, in that same episode, she actually managed to prove compassion is a weakness.
Zhan Tiri is also shown to be somewhat arrogant, such as when she kept giving sadistic smiles that could give her away to Cassandra assuming she has already won. The biggest example is in "Race to the Spire" when she tells Rapunzel everything about herself, assuming that Rapunzel won't be able to do anything and that Cassandra is under her complete control. However, she may be doing this as a part of her plan.
Zhan Tiri is also shown to be power-hungry. Even Lord Demanitus comments on this, as her main and only reason for betraying Demanitus is that she wanted the power of both the Sundrop and Moonstone all to herself. She is later shown to go to any lengths to get them, which is what causes her to do everything she did.
After finally obtaining the Sundrop and Moonstone to restore her true demon form, Zhan Tiri becomes more sadistic, arrogant, and callous as she makes good on her promise to doom Corona to an era of darkness that would put everyone (both her enemies and allies) in danger; she even taunted Cassandra for suffering her mother's fate by letting her ego overwhelm her mind. Ironically, it was Zhan Tiri's arrogance that proved to be her downfall as she underestimated both Rapunzel and Cassandra, who tricked the demon into fusing both stones, causing a horrified Zhan Tiri to perish to her death by the stones' powers.
It should be noted that unlike other villains from Tangled franchise, who had some level of morality and redeeming qualities, Zhan Tiri's actions were taken too seriously and is more evil than the others. She even shows no morality to the rest of the Corona, especially Rapunzel and Cassandra.
Appearance
| “ | You see, over the centuries, I've taken a form of whatever suits my needs. A warlock, a demon, even a blizzard. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri describing her shapeshifting abilities. |
Since Zhan Tiri is a shapeshifter, she has taken on many different forms.
When disguising herself as the Enchanted Girl, she is a light blue spirit with a blue and white dress. She also has braided hair with a head strap across her head with a gem in the middle, and she also has blue eyes. After she gains a physical form, her outfit turns black, and her eyes turn purple. It is later revealed that she was once a sorceress who retains much of her physical form, but taller and older, as her cheekbones has wrinkles while her hair is longer.
When she disguises herself as Calliope, she looks exactly the same as her: a small and slightly chubby woman with buck teeth. She also has a yellow peasant dress with a robe tied around her, orange-ish brown hair slicked back into a ponytail through a couple of strands stick out, and giant owl glasses that go over her greyish-blue eyes.
In her demon form, Zhan Tiri is an extremely tall and muscular monster with black skin, sharp teeth, curled ram-like horns, long arms with claws on each finger and a torso full of squid-like tentacles. She retains her head strap and gem. Plus, both of her eyes are in different colors due to obtaining the powers of the Moonstone and Sundrop: her right eye retains the Sundrop's yellow color, while her left eye retains the Moonstone's blue color.
Powers and Abilities
Magic Powers
- Nigh-invulnerability: When at her full power, Zhan Tiri is shown to be unable to even be scratched by any conventional means. It takes the Sundrop and Moonstone uniting for her to be killed.
- Immortality: Zhan Tiri has been alive for at least 1,000 years and possibly more, and has been stated in-universe to be immortal and nearly unkillable.
- Shapeshifting: Zhan Tiri stated she can change into anything, some of which have been a warlock, demon, a blizzard, and a small ghost girl.
- Levitation: As the Enchanted Girl, before being released, Zhan Tiri was able to levitate.
- Nightmare Manipulation: Zhan Tiri gave Varian a nightmare that gave him the clue to uncovering the fourth incantation as part of her plan.
- Elemental Powers: In flashbacks, Zhan Tiri is stated to have the ability to control numerous elements. For example:
- Cryomancy: Zhan Tiri summoned a blizzard that nearly wiped out all of Corona.
- Chlorokinesis: In a flashback, Zhan Tiri is shown to be able to control vines and used them to wipe out an entire army at one point.
- Electrokinesis: When her minion Sugracha was trying to summon her, she summoned a few lightning bolts.
- Geokinesis: In that same scene, Zhan Tiri also summoned an earthquake.
- Sundrop and Moonstone powers: When Zhan Tiri gains access to the Sundrop and Moonstone, she has all of their powers combined. She is also shown to use rocks as an offensive weapon and uses the Decay Incantation to nearly destroy and murder everyone in Corona.
Former Powers
- Control over the Great Tree: Zhan Tiri took over the Great Tree and had full control of it until Lord Deminitus put a spear in it. However, Zhan Tiri left some magic behind, but after that was destroyed, she completely lost control over it.
Implied
- Telepathy: Zhan Tiri's ability to know exactly what people are thinking sometimes seems like she has telepathy.
- Nigh-omnipotence: It's heavily implied from a few characters, including Demanitus, that Zhan Tiri would have nearly unlimited power at her full potential.
Skills
- High Intelligence: As stated above, Zhan Tiri may be even smarter than that, but what is confirmed is that she is extremely smart. She has a lot of knowledge about magical artifacts, and is a master of understanding and manipulating people.
- Master Manipulator: Zhan Tiri is a master of manipulation and has many skills catered to it, such as:
- Charisma: She is able to convince Cassandra she is her friend, and Cassandra has no idea that Zhan Tiri is playing her.
- Lying: Zhan Tiri can quickly come up with a lie and do it extremely convincingly, like how she lied to Cassandra about her true intentions.
Weapons
- A Boomerang: During the episode "Race to the Spire", Zhan Tiri uses a Boomerang and seems to be extremely good at using it. It's later revealed she even had it in the past.
Weaknesses
- Things More Powerful: While Zhan Tiri is nearly invincible, she is not unkillable, as when the Sundrop and Moonstone clashed that was enough to kill her.
- Arrogance: Zhan Tiri's arrogance can often be her biggest weakness. The biggest example is when she leaves Rapunzel and Cassandra alive when they are defenseless while thinking they can't do anything, but this ultimately proves to be her downfall.
Former Weaknesses
- Limited Existence: When Zhan Tiri was locked in her prison, she seemed to have very limited interaction with the real world, as she couldn't touch anyone and couldn't be seen by a majority of people. This changes after she is released.
- Limited Powers: After Zhan Tiri was released from her prison, she seems to have lost most of the powers mentioned above. This is likely due to having been trapped in the Lost Realm for so long. Once Zhan Tiri gains the Sundrop and Moonstone, this disappears.

Quotes
| “ | Eons ago, an evil warlock, Zhan Tiri, had a deep hatred for Corana, and cast a spell, which caused a blizzard to sweep across the land. The storm destroyed everything in it's path. All would have been lost, had it not been for the ancient engineer and inventor, Lord Demanitus. Using both magic and science, Demanitus built a massive subterranean machine, deep in the Corana mountains. This mighty device had the ability to change the direction of the wind, and it pushed the flurries out to the sea. The day was saved, Zhan Tiri had been defeated. But some say the curse of his storm lives on, and is simply waiting to strike again. | „ |

| ~ Lord Demanitus describing Zhan Tiri. |

| ~ The quote that lead to Cassandra deciding to betray Rapunzel. |
| “ | I'm here to help you learn how to master the Moonstone's power. It responds to hatred and anger. If you truly want to wield the Moonstone, you mustn't be afraid to tap into the depths of your deepest rage. Remember what she put you through, and use that fury, Cassandra. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri manipulating Cassandra as the Enchanted Girl. |
| “ | Those incantations were our only hope of unlocking the power of the Moonstone aside from the Demantius Scroll, but that was destroyed millennia ago. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri expressing frustration over the fact the scroll was destroyed, not knowing it was rebuilt. |
| “ | I don't need to remind you that defeat is not an option, and when Rapunzel comes for you, you must be prepared to protect what is rightfully yours. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri criticizing Cassandra. |
| “ | Defeating her is not enough. You must take away who she is. You've held back long enough. | „ |

| ~ Zhan Tiri. |
| “ | Prepare yourself, Sundrop. An eclipse is coming and when it does, Corona will become nothing more than dust. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri revealing her plans for Corona. |
| “ | Hello again, old friend. My dear Demanitus, I wanted you to know, you've lost. When the eclipse comes, I shall draw the powers of the Sundrop and the Moonstone to myself. And as for their human hosts, to ensure that their once inseparable bond doesn't interfere, I have set a plan into motion. That will cement their rift. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri summarizing her plan. |
| “ | You poor thing. And now that you know, that knowledge will only make you stronger. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri pretending to feel sorry for Cassandra. |
| “ | Oh, quit pretending you're horrified. We're not so different, you and I. We were both cheated out of destiny!! In fact, we're more like sisters than you and Rapunzel ever were! We both want the same thing, and we can get it if you continue to let me help you. | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri after Cassandra discovers the truth. |
| “ | Run, Cassandra, but you can't run from who you are! | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri taunting Cassandra. |
| “ | You didn't really think your plan to make things right would work, did you? | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri taunting Cassandra. |
| “ | Zhan Tiri: I don't understand. You could have just gone up to her and apologized, face to face. Cassandra: I said get away from me. Zhan Tiri: You made more than a few opportunities and even still, you haven't done it. Why is that? I think. Cassandra: Because I'm scared she won't forgive me. Zhan Tiri: You're right to be scared. I'm guessing she hasn't told you about Project Obsidian, a weapon that was designed to destroy you. Rapunzel just authorized it yesterday. Cassandra: What! No. I don't believe you. Zhan Tiri: You can ask her yourself if you don't believe me. Here. You might want something to defend yourself against her. This potion may be your only protection against the Princess when she inevitably turns on you. |
„ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri continuing to manipulate Cassandra. |
| “ | Finally… they're mine! I'd like to thank you both for taking care of what rightfully belongs to me. (laughs) At long last, THEY ARE MINE! | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri betraying Cassandra before taunting her and Rapunzel by taking the Moonstone and Sundrop for herself to reveal her true demon form. |
| “ | You may have been a worthy adversary once, Princess, but now, YOU ARE NOTHING!! And you... you lost before you even began, girl. Just like your mother.... felled by your own ego! I'm sorry if I gave the impression, we were having a conversation. Now watch as I finally deliver on a promise I made LONG AGO!!! | „ |

| “ | Is this your plan to keep me here forever?! | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri being restrained by Rapunzel and Cassandra before they forced her to fuse the Sundrop and Moonstone together. |
| “ | NO! No! No, no, no! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! | „ |
| ~ Zhan Tiri's final words as she is destroyed by the combined powers of the Sundrop and Moonstone thanks to Rapunzel and Cassandra. |
Trivia
- She is the first wizard/warlock and demon to appear in the Tangled universe.
- A small model of Zhan Tiri is seen in the second season's episode "Keeper of the Spire", as one of the museum exhibits.
- It has been suspected that Zhan Tiri is the one who created the Healing and Reverse Incantation since she is the one who took over the tree, and the Reverse Incantation was inside the tree. This would also explain how Mother Gothel managed to get her hands on the Healing Incantation, as she was once a servant of Zhan Tiri.
- This has caused further suspicions that Zhan Tiri is somehow connected to the Sundrop and Moonstone.
- This is implied even further by the fact that when she uses the Decay Incantation, she just knows what the words are without looking, thus showing that she knows it by memory.
- In "Race to the Spire", Zhan Tiri reveals that the blizzard from "Queen for a Day" was actually a form she had taken.
- Taking her actions into account, she could be considered as the Greater-Scope Villain, being responsible for everything that happens in the entire Tangled franchise. Her actions in "Queen For a Day" lead to Varian's fall to evil and status as an arc villain, leading to Rapunzel traveling to the dark kingdom, making her indirectly responsible for everything that happens in Season 2. Her manipulation of Cassandra leads to her betrayal of Rapunzel, and causes every event in Season 3 before later becoming the main antagonist herself. Additionally, Mother Gothel was once one of her minions and she was the reason Gothel learned about the Healing Incantation, making her responsible for the franchise's very existence due to Gothel's actions.
- Zhan Tiri is considered by many fans to be the most evil villain in the Tangled franchise due to the horrible things committed by both Zhan Tiri herself and her followers, including onscreen attempted genocide and having no tragic backstory or redeeming qualities. She's even much more dangerous than Mother Gothel due to a very high body count and causing more catastrophe inside Corona.
- It's heavily implied that Zhan Tiri was the one who gave Tromus and Sugracha the Eternal their powers when they betrayed Demanitus, which suggests there might have been some deal involved.
- However, it is unknown why Mother Gothel does not have any of these powers by the time of the movie.
- Zhan Tiri and Mother Gothel are the only villains in the Tangled franchise to succeed in murdering someone.
- As the Enchanted Girl, Zhan Tiri is voiced by Jennifer Veal in her second villainous role.
- The Zhan in Zhan Tiri's name has been pronounced two different ways: Zhan and Zahn.
- The episode "Cassandra's Revenge" reveals that the Enchanted Girl is Zhan Tiri in a different form.
- Zhan Tiri showing Cassandra the shadows of her forgotten past as the Enchanted Girl is somewhat similar to the actions of the Ghost of Christmas Past from A Christmas Carol.
- Zhan Tiri is mentioned in the non-canon comic book series Hair-Raising Adventures Issues #1 and #2, where two of her minions serve as the main antagonists.
