Winfred (Fred) Grant

Winifred "Fred" Grant

Winifred "Fred" Grant (sometimes spelt Winnifred Grant is a supporting character in Hamster & Gretel. Fred is the paternal cousin of Gretel and Kevin and often hangs out with Kevin as a friend. She is the first person to learn Hamster and Gretel's secret identities as superheroes (besides Kevin), and the only person Kevin could entrust this information with due to having a "disdain for human society." (Hamster and Gretel’s secret identities are revealed to other people throughout the series, but never deliberately like Fred) Fred serves as a backup member of the team; while she typically doesn't personally join Hamster, Gretel and Kevin in the crimefighting, she does, however, notify them when a supervillain shows up and keeps communications with Kevin in case something is needed. She seems to be a similar age as Kevin, as she attends high school just like him, and is shown to be in some of the same classes as him.

physical appearance

Fred is about the same height as Kevin. She has a pale skin complexion, dark brown hair that covers one of her eyes, and pink lips. She often wears a reddish brown coat with a ruddy stripe, over a purple vest and a white t-shirt. Additionally, she wears black, tight-fitting pants and red and white sneakers. One notable part of her outfit is her pink-tinted glasses.

personality

Fred is normally sarcastic with a dry sense of humour, often speaking in a deadpan voice while keeping a stoic frown on her face. Even from a young age, she's shown to have a disdain towards things as well as other people. Despite this, she has a good companionship with her two cousins, Gretel and Kevin, being there to help on their missions using her skills in technology. Fred doesn't like being in the spotlight and prefers to be left alone. This is evidenced in "Saturday Homecoming Fever," which reveals she has become one of the most popular students at Eastside High School since the events of "Cheer Cheer Bang Bang" (in which she went undercover as a cheerleader to expose the crimes of Coach Haggerty), as Fred resents the attention she's getting from her fellow students. Fred is an avid fan of Yuko Cheerleading Warrior Attack 7, an action-focused magical girl anime series that satirizes cheerleader culture. She's also uncharacteristically wild about professional wrestling, being a huge fan of the Professional League of Wrestling. Fred also gets uncharacteristically giddy about impossible bottles, although she doesn't advertise this much.

skills and abilities

Fred is stated to be quite tech-savvy. Despite her cynical and nerdy appearance, she is also quite athletic due to being a state gymnast a couple of years before the events of the series: being able to perform many gymnastic moves, do a split, and stay physically impossibly long in the air while doing many somersaults. She also possesses combat skills and proficiency in wrestling during her scuffle with The Imposter in "President Fred."
