Gretel exists as a fractured entity, her identity splintered by an obsessive fixation on Hansel—a sibling whose existence remains unverified. Her transformation into a feminine guise stems from a desperate yearning to materialize this unrealized bond, blurring the line between delusion and reality. Recurring themes of abandonment and a hunger for wholeness underscore her actions, driven by a conscious embrace of self-deception to sustain her fragile narrative.
A history of reclusion and brutal online persecution culminates in a near-fatal suicide attempt. Survival propels her into a warped dimension where supernatural abilities manifest, interpreted as liberation from victimhood. Empowered, she pursues vengeance against perceived oppressors, framing cruelty as strength. Clashes with figures like a rationalist scientist expose her worldview: others are either tools or threats, cementing her isolation within a delusional hierarchy of purpose.
Narrative threads dissect her psyche through acts of fusion and annihilation. One arc depicts her absorbing disparate identities to proclaim invulnerability, dismissing fear as weakness. Another probes the paradox of her delusions—simultaneously hunting an absent brother and fixating on amorphous ambitions, exposing an irreconcilable divide within her self-perception.
Dialogue fixates on Hansel, oscillating between desperate pleas for his guardianship and assertions of their indivisibility. These exchanges echo childhood traumas: forest abandonments, witchly confrontations, breadcrumb trails—symbols that loop her story into an endless cycle of separation and attempted reunion. Magenta and turquoise hues bleed through her design, mirroring the Gretel-Hansel duality and her fractured essence.
Later arcs unravel her reality entirely. The Act of Reality insinuates Hansel might be a phantom, her form and quest born from unprocessed grief or psychosis. This thread concludes with her real-world suicide, echoing fates of other characters. Across iterations, her sanity erodes erratically—moments of raw fragility rupture into violent displays of power. Phrases like “Look at me, Hansel. Only me. Look at ME” and “I love you so much I could eat you up” twist affection into possession, conflating devotion with consumption.
