Gretel Grant-Gomez

Gretel Grant-Gomez

Gretel Grant-Gomez is one of the titular protagonists of Hamster & Gretel. She is the owner of Hamster, the little sister of Kevin, and the daughter of Dave and Carolina. She and her pet Hamster have been bestowed superpowers by aliens and have been instructed to use them for good. Only a small amount of people, notably Kevin and their cousin Fred, know about their superhero identities, as this revelation is kept secret from everyone else, including her parents and her best friend Bailey (until My Invisible Friend). Having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and being 9 years old, Gretel is the more impulsive one of the superhero duo, having little patience for several things. Kevin often aids the two, trying to teach Gretel how to be a responsible superhero.

physical appearance

Gretel has light skin, large blue eyes, and blonde hair with bangs. Her normal attire consists of a teal shirt with a collar, an orange skirt held together by a yellow belt, white socks, blue shoes with light blue Velcro straps, and an orange headband to hold her hair back. Her superhero clothes are all in various shades of purple. She has a dress that looks like a tank top with a large, white "G" on the front, a skirt held together by a belt, and a cape and eye mask about the same shade as the skirt. In her superhero form, her headband is blue instead of orange. Occasionally, Gretel wears a dark blue carrier for Hamster alongside her casual outfit. It has a lot in common with a baby carrier, leaving holes for Hamster's limbs to fit through.

personality

Gretel is pretty energetic, excitable and confident. However, her tendency to act heads-on frequently gets her into big troubles and mishaps. Her impulsiveness and carefree nature are often responsible for the collateral damages she makes and are the very reason why Kevin is needed to guide her. While she is happy when her powers are back, she is still in doubt due to the revelation of the alien's scheme, which is giving bad guys powers to do evil, but with her's and Hamster are tasked doing good, which confused her, especially remarking "None of this makes sense." However, she shows sympathy when she is always late with her father, as she regrets it, and what is worst is that Gretel can be sorry for Kevin being openly rejected for powers from the aliens, in Too Many Crooks Gretel acknowledges that she cannot save the day alone, as she realized she needs help for using a plan as explained within the news.

power's and abilities

Superpowers Aliens have given Gretel and her pet Hamster "powers unimaginable", which include a variety of superpowers, including the following: Flight - Both Hamster and Gretel can fly in the air and remain airborne in place. Super speed - Hamster and Gretel are also able to fly super fast, or at least "faster than a scooter", as the intro theme song states. While not as fast as speedy villains like Crimson Haste, they can somewhat keep up with her during a chase. Super-strength - Gretel can throw hard punches and bend steel. The intro theme also states that she and Hamster are "stronger than metal." "Superhero Sibling Rivalry" also reveals that Hamster and Gretel can lift 157 tons (in weight) between them, but not 200 tons. Despite her immense strength, Gretel is not the strongest entity out there, and villains such as Arthouse and Itsy Bitsy have bound Gretel with materials that are 2% stronger than her to prevent her from escaping (this includes durable film and special spider silk). Instant costume change - Hamster and Gretel are both able to change from their current outfit to their superhero outfit and vice versa. Word materialization - When calling out an attack, the name of said attack will appear in colourful letters, which she and other characters can interact with before they dematerialize. This usually happens when she calls out her signature "___ PUNCH" phrasal template but also extends to other phrases, including but not limited to other attack names (like "Super Slap"), mathematical equations, or phrases like "My Best Friend Bailey's Birthday." Heat vision - Gretel can use her eyes to shoot beams of heat, first shown in "Recipe for Disaster." Using a condenser coil from a refrigerator, she can convert the heat from her heat vision into chilling cold, as shown in "Dr. Eelgood."

universe/TV series

"Hamster & Gretel" is a new animated series created by Dan Povenmire that follows the adventures of 9-year-old Gretel and her pet hamster, "Hamster", who are granted superpowers by aliens. Together, they work to take down various villains while keeping their abilities a secret. The show premiered on Disney Channel on August 12, 2022, and is the 94th animated series produced by Disney Television Animation. The story focuses on Gretel, her pet Hamster, and her brother Kevin, who was seemingly skipped over when the aliens granted superpowers to the others. the three do their best to protect their city from a wide selection of peculiar supervillains, with Hamster and Gretel facing the dangers upfront while Kevin aids from the sidelines. The three also have decided to keep Hamster and Gretel's superhero alter egos a secret from their family and acquaintances, with the only person knowing about the secret since the early beginnings being Kevin and Gretel's cousin, Fred Grant (although over time, more of their friends and family appear to learn about it as well).

power and abilities (2)

Indestructibility - Gretel gained a much sturdier body structure that allows her to take hits from strong or heavy objects without getting wounds. This is exemplified in "Sleepover with the Enemy", in which Gretel gets crushed between a moving truck and a tunnel wall, and the only thing on her person that took damage was a ketchup packet. These superpowers are cancelled out by a mysterious, blue glowing rock of currently unknown properties, as revealed in "U.F. UH-OH! Part II." Whenever Gretel is close to or near this odd rock, she cannot use her superpowers and reverts to her regular self until she's far away enough; Gretel does keep her superhero costume, however. This glowing rock is also exploited by Professor Exclamation in "Exclamation Strikes Back"; using a machine of his, he's able to drain Hamster and Gretel's superpowers and store it in the rock, being able to use it as a power source. This also drains the colour in Gretel's superhero uniform. Weaknesses Even with superpowers, Gretel is still vulnerable to a variety of circumstances. Uncontrolled workout routine - She is not immune to sore muscles and fatigue when working out together with Hamster too recklessly, despite her indestructibility. Japanese sea urchins - She is also vulnerable to giant Japanese sea urchins as she tries to punch them, only to hurt her hand with their spikes. Heat vision doesn't work on them either, due to their spike dissipating the heat.
