 Although Mrs. Crackshell is
not usually thought of as a love interest for Scrooge, the two did go on a date in one DuckTales
episode, so I feel I should include her. The episode was called "Blue Collar
Scrooge." Scrooge had lost his memory in a skateboard accident, and with it his
Scottish accent. No one, including Mrs. Crackshell, knew who he was. Mrs.
Crackshell took pity on him, for he was homeless and confused, and took him in. He
got a job at one of his own factories and lived in the Crackshell trailer until he
regained his memory. Out of gratitude for Mrs. Crackshell's charity and kindness, he
took her out for pizza. It was their only known date, but there was a definite sense
of fondness.
Mrs. Crackshell has no known first name. Her son,
Fenton, always calls her M'ma ("Mama" with an unusual stress on the second
syllable.) Fenton is Scrooge's accountant, and also acts as security guard under the
disguise of Gizmoduck. She presumably was married at some point, but is either
divorced or widowed.
 Mrs. Crackshell is a lazy person. Her only
activities seem to include lounging on the sofa and watching soap operas on
television. She is rarely seen without rollers in her hair and a bathrobe (pictured
at right is the only exception.) The only time she was known to have worked in a job
is when a freak electrical accident temporarily gave her psychic powers. Then she
worked briefly for Scrooge, predicting the stock market. Flintheart Glomgold
kidnapped her to take advantage of her powers, but her powers were lost shortly
thereafter, and she was back to being a full-time couch potato. There were no
romantic overtones in that incident whatsoever.

A great big thanks to "Calisota or Bust!" for the
four screengrabs of M'ma Crackshell!
