Gretel has light skin, large blue eyes, and blonde hair held back with a blue headband. Her superhero clothes are all in various shades of pink. She has a dress that looks like a tank top and a skirt held together by a belt, and a cape and eye mask about the same shade as the skirt.
Her normal clothing consists of a light teal shirt with a white collar, an orange skirt held together by a yellow belt, and blue shoes.
Gretel is the first character to be voiced by Meli Povenmire, daughter of Dan Povenmire, the creator of Hamster & Gretel. She was cast after being brought in to do scratch work. When the show was picked up, every actor was recast except for Meli.[2]
Dan Povenmire confirmed that Gretel has ADHD, making her the first Disney Television Animation protagonist to be confirmed as ADHD,[2] as opposed to others being implied or ambiguous such as Sprig Plantar, Luz Noceda, and Cricket Green from Amphibia, The Owl House, and Big City Greens, respectively.
Gretel is similar to Phineas Flynn in many ways:
Both are constantly upbeat, chipper, and optimistic.
Both are styled more uniquely than the rest of the cast (Phineas has a big head shaped like a triangle; Gretel has a more round head, broader mouth, and bigger eyes that are oval-shaped with visible pupils).
Both do most of the talking out of the main duo.
Both don't have their eyebrows show as much.
However, her gender and family role matches that of Candace Flynn.
In the original elevator pitch art, Gretel's headband in superhero gear was pink to match her suit, but in the actual show, her headband is blue.
