Gretchen Grundler

Gretchen Priscilla Grundler is one of the main characters from the television series Recess.
==Background==
===Personality===
Gretchen is the smartest of the main kids in the show. In a few episodes, it's shown that she's smarter than almost everyone else in town, as shown in "A Genius Among Us", where it's established that she's smarter than most of the teachers at school. Gretchen is also somewhat of a "big sister" to the main six, usually to T.J. and Gus. She often argues with Vince but appears to be very close to him as well, hinting that she may have feelings for him (and vice versa). Out of all the members of the main six, Gretchen seems closer to Spinelli than she does to any of the boys.
Although she is very smart, she can also be sweet, and a bit naïve (mostly due to her young age). At times, she can easily fall for most of the crazy stories told on the playground, such as the outcomes of the Stinky Peterson fortune teller in "Gus' Fortune". She's also very unathletic, as shown in "Gretchen and the Secret of Yo," but is shown to be very skilled at yo-yos.
She is one of the few kids on the playground to get along with one of the Ashley’s, Ashley A., as seen in "Outcast Ashley", where Ashley A. is kicked out of the clique for forgetting a tradition in the group. When looking for friends, she decides to hang out with Gretchen. The two become friends for a while until Ashley A. is welcomed back into the clique. Their friendship is seldom seen again.
One device Gretchen is usually seen with is her Galileo, a small, handheld computer with a talking frog mascot.
===Physical Appearance===
Gretchen is a thin, tall, and geeky girl. She has auburn shoulder-length hair tied in two pigtails by pink hair ties, brown eyes hidden by large circle glasses and has rather large buckteeth. She wears a light blue short-sleeved knee-length dress with a white Peter Pan collar and white sleeves, as well as a dark pink sash with a bow in the middle, pink calf-high socks, and large brown and white shoes. Her right sock is slightly shorter than her left one.
She is taller than Gus, Spinelli, T.J., and Vince, but shorter than Mikey. Gretchen's head is rather large and tall, which might be because she is in her "awkward years".
