Ma Bagge is the mother of Eustace and Horst, and also is one of the main supporting cast on the show. She despises Eustace's presence as well as Muriel's, but enjoys Courage's company, except when he is foiling her plans. She was voiced by the late Billie Lou Watt.
Personality
Ma Bagge is an incredibly two-faced person. She has a sweet and caring personality around Courage, but has a mean and uncaring personality around Eustace, with who she has kind of a love-hate relationship. Most of the time Ma is cruel to her son, usually calling him a "stupid boy." She is immensely insecure of her baldness, feeling ashamed and ugly without her wig. Despite being insecure about her own baldness, she pokes fun at her son Eustace for having the same hair loss problem. Ma is the CEO of Growth Industries.
History
She is bald, and wears a red (sometimes pink) wig. In Mother's Day, Ma is introduced as the rude and deceitful mother of Eustace. In Scuba Scuba Doo, she makes profit from destroying coral and making them into wigs for profit. Ma lives in a trailer house that is a quick walk away from the Bagge farmhouse. Ma Bagge is one of many recurring antagonists of the series.
