Zhan Tiri is an evil demon from another realm and the overarching antagonist of Disney's Tangled animated franchise, being the unseen overarching antagonist in the film and the overall main antagonist in Tangled: The Series, specifically being the overarching antagonist of season one, two and the first half of three and the main antagonist of the second half of season three. Zhan Tiri 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 the Sundrop and Moonstone would clash, thus freeing Zhan Tiri from her prison so that she can destroy Corona. She was the archenemy of Lord Demanitus.
She was voiced by Tara Fitzgerald in her true form, and Jennifer Veal in her Enchanted Girl form.
Personality
Zhan Tiri is known in Corona legend as an extremely sadistic, malevolent and sinister entity who will not hesitate to destroy absolutely everything in her path because of some ancient grudge against the kingdom which is still unexplained. But 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, like when she has both of her minions concoct a plan to free her and when both of those failed she decided to take the matter into her own hands involving Zhan Tiri's big plans with 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 the best for her. At first, The Enchanted Girl seems like a neutral character but things start to change.
As the season progress, she shows to the audience her true evil nature to corrupt Cassandra's mind. Zhan Tiri can use Cassandra for her ultimate plan of freeing herself from her imprisonment.
Zhan Tiri's most defining characteristic is her master of manipulation. Zhan Tiri is successfully able to convince Cassandra by simply showing her past as Mother Gothel's daughter and through the first half of season three. and later it is shown that she can tell people exactly what they want to hear and later admits this, and is also a master liar.
When Zhan Tiri is closer to finishing her plans, she becomes even crazier constantly giving sadistic smiles and later invades Varian's mind to sadistically taunt Varian 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.
Zhan Tiri is also shown to be somewhat arrogant as well like when she kept giving sadistic smiles that could give her away to Cassandra assuming she has already won and the biggest example is in "Race To The Spire" where 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.

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 since it has been heavily implied that she was once a servant of Zhan Tiri.
- This has caused further suspicions that Zhan Tiri is somehow connected to the Sun Drop and Moonstone.
- Zhan Tiri is the Greater-Scope Villain of the entire Tangled franchise as her actions in "Queen For a Day" lead to Varian's fall to evil and status as an arc villain leading to Rapunzel travelling 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, it's heavily implied that Mother Gothel was once one of her minions and 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 near genocide and has no tragic backstory or redeeming qualities, at least for now.
- It was heavily implied that Zhan Tiri was the one that gave Tromus and Sugracha the Eternal their powers when they betrayed Demanitus suggesting there might have been some deal involved.
- Although it is unknown why Mother Gothel does not have any of these powers by the time of the movie.
- 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.
- Her demon form is similar to Nocturne from Danny Phantom.
