Gretchen

"And the bow is a nice touch, Gretchen!"

- Isabella Garcia-Shapiro

Gretchen is one of the Fireside Girls in Danville Troop 46231. She has rather short brown hair and wears glasses.

Biography
She was one of the Ferbettes in Phineas and the Ferb-Tones. She also helped Phineas Flynn win the Swamp Oil 500. Isabella Garcia-Shapiro thanked her for a job well done and complimented her on adding the bow to the Team Phineas race car during the pit-stop. She also sings in S'Winter (song).In a deep voice, she counts down the blastoff of Phineas and Ferb's rocket when they visit their star. ("Flop Starz", "The Fast and the Phineas, "S'Winter", "Out to Launch") As evidenced in "Bubble Boys", she appears to have a large IQ, having to repeat her statements due to the others not understanding what she had said.

Background Information

 * Gretchen is voiced by Ariel Winter. She is the first of the Fireside Girls after Isabella to have a speaking role in the series.
 * She and Katie are the only Fireside Girls that appear in the Phineas and Ferb Nintendo DS game.

Identity Crisis

 * At first glance, it may be difficult to tell which of the Fireside Girls is Gretchen. Early on in the episode, she is the girl who asks the question about Phineas' racecar being electronically fuel injected, she is not given a name at this point. Her name comes later when Isabella compliments her on the bow she ties on the car. The last piece to the puzzle is that Ariel Winter is credited as Gretchen in the end credits for the episode. Therefore, she has a speaking part in the episode, and must be the Fireside Girl who asks the question. The episode's print novelization in Speed Demons further confirms this by way of the narration explicitly stating that it is Gretchen who asks the question.
