Gretchen Grundler

Gretchen Gloria Grundler is one of the main characters from the Disney animated television series . She is an academically talented and extremely intelligent student of German descent. She is usually known as the "Smart Girl" on the playground. A child prodigy, she has shown the ability for academic feats that other students in her grade find complicated, and even finished a 45-minute test in 10 seconds. She is still a kid at heart and her imagination sometimes gets the better of her, as she is still very naive despite her IQ. She is assisted by an interactive, calculator-sized, hand-held machine called a Galileo, which she loves very much. However, she is also not very good at getting out of trouble, as she is too trustworthy and honest. Though her friends don't share her scientific curiosity, Gretchen considers the gang much more important than finding intellectual colleagues.
