## Biography

### Hansel VS Gretel

After killing Lilith, Gretel was partially possessed by her, beginning to hear her voice in her head and slowly turning into a witch herself. She buried Lilith's body in a pet cemetery so that no one could find her body. Gretel took over the Gingerbread House bakery, and began killing people in Candlewood to make into meat pies. This included Mason Bridger, one of her favorite customers.

When her brother Hansel returned to Candlewood, he told her over dinner with their grandma that he had become a witch hunter. He asked Gretel for her help in tracking down missing Mason, thinking a witch could be behind all of the missing persons cases in town. They do not find any evidence in Mason's apartment besides his rabbit dying in the bathtub (something that Gretel likely did). Gretel and Hansel then go to Mason's brother Jacob and his friend Willy for help. After they go to where they burned Lilith, a possessed Mrs. Klima attacks the four. During the commotion, Gretel is abducted by Cthonia's coven.

Cthonia is angry with Gretel for killing Lilith, and Gretel lies and says that it was all Hansel's doing. She gives the coven a human meat pie to convince them that she too is a witch. Cthonia then instructs Gretel to kill Hansel for them, otherwise they will kill her. That night, Gretel attacks Willy and knocks her out with a trophy to abduct her. Kikimora takes pictures of Gretel and Willy tied up to send to Hansel, convincing him that both of the girls are being held captive.

Successfully lured in, Hansel and Jacob find Gretel and Willy and begin to free them as Gretel continues to play the role of a victim. The room then fills with a disorienting fog as Kikimora comes in to attack. Gretel is about to kill Hansel when she changes her mind and instead warns him of Kikimora's whereabouts so that he can kill her. Before the fog clears, Gretel eats Kikimora's body.

Later, when Hansel is planning his next move at the bakery, Gretel takes the witch Circe to meet him, introducing her as a part-timer at the shop. Gretel leaves the two alone, but comes back before Circe can convince Hansel to kill himself, instructing her brother to kill Circe instead. While her brother is disoriented, Gretel eats Circe's body and gains her powers. Gretel then calls Jacob and Willy to the shop to discuss more plans.

When Hansel leaves with Willy to drive her home, Gretel uses her mind control powers from Circe on Jacob. She tries to seduce him, but it doesn't work because he tells her he is gay. Angered by this, Gretel rips Jacob's face off. She then removes many of his body parts and leaves them around town with clues for Hansel to find. After putting the remains of Jacob in the bag, she gives the body to Morai and tells her that it is Hansel and her work is done. Later, when Hansel injures Morai, Gretel kills and eats her to take her wind powers.

Gretel then gets a message from Cthonia, who is holding her grandmother captive because she is dissatisfied with Gretel's work. Cthonia realizes that Gretel was killing all of her coven to take their power, hoping to take over Cthonia's role. Gretel rips her grandmother's head off as a show of witch allegiance and then forces Cthonia to concede her power. When Hansel and Willy arrive at the house, Gretel and Cthonia knock them out and take them to the pet cemetery. After Gretel recites a spell that resurrects Lilith, Lilith attacks Cthonia in anger for trying to take her territory. Gretel assists by ripping out Cthonia's throat. Lilith asks Gretel for Cthonia's body to eat so that she can more fully revive herself, but Gretel wants to keep the body for herself.

Willy then reveals herself to be possessed by a witch and attacks Gretel after killing Lilith. Hansel kills Willy and then fights Gretel. He eventually gains the upper hand and holds her at gunpoint. The police arrive at the scene, but Hansel takes Gretel away instead of handing her to them, believing she must pay for her crimes in a different way.
