Dipper is intelligent, compassionate, self-conscious, and rational, and sometimes, overly judgmental, and can't wait to grow up. An adventurer at heart, Dipper can't sit still and is always looking for the next riddle or mystery to solve. His scrupulous attention to detail is useful when he is attempting to solve mysteries, but sometimes his over-zealousness can leave others questioning his credibility. Dipper is shown to be extremely "genre-savvy", knowing that in most movies, nobody has a camera when they see the monster, or that the camera malfunctions, he brings along 17 cameras with him to take a photo of the Gobblewonker. He is wise and intelligent beyond his years, and his refusal to sit still when there are puzzles to be solved often leaves him restless in everyday situations. In "Carpet Diem", he has a habit of clicking his pen repeatedly when in deep thought. He seems to believe that he is often too busy with other work to bother with certain tasks, such as washing his clothes. He also seems to get very irritated when people think he's "cute" or "adorable", as he wants to be taken seriously as a grown-up from people around him because at most times, Dipper is more mature than others. He began glaring at his twin sister Mabel when she commented that he "sneezed like a kitten" in the episode "Headhunters".[15] When Dipper and Mabel (and Soos at times) are on their adventures, Dipper is the one to act as the leader mostly because he is shown to be very brave and smart. He is somewhat protective of his sister:[9] whenever she is in danger, he is always there to help and will do anything to get her free. He can sometimes be selfish and is not above using Gravity Falls' mysterious elements to his advantage. He can also be ruthless in the pursuit of his goals, such as not apologizing for attacking Soos in "Not What He Seems", unlike Mabel who apologized prior to grappling him. But ultimately, he always does the right thing and has the right motivations. It is also well mentioned that Dipper is paranoid and has had trust issues since the beginning when the journal warned him to "Trust No One" and has been skeptical about people and situations. For example, in "The Last Mabelcorn", Dipper fearfully backs away from Stanford Pines, who he thought was being possessed, while holding a memory gun pointed at his head, muttering the phrase "Trust no one" repeatedly to himself. With his experience in Gravity Falls as well as his knowledge in the mystery novels that he reads, Dipper thinks much like an actual detective, as seen in "Headhunters". Despite his brave and serious personality, living with Mabel Pines his whole life (who is famous for her silly and fun-loving attitude) has caused him to indulge in childish activities with her, such as when both he and Mabel made puking noises whilst spraying silly string onto each other's faces in "Double Dipper". At the beginning of the episode "Headhunters", he and Mabel are seen watching Duck-tective. When a video was displayed in the future detailing the twins' current positions in "Blendin's Game", it showed Dipper and Mabel hitting each other with soft bats while laughing. Whilst playing miniature golf in "Carpet Diem", Mabel states that his shot is out of bounds, to which he responds by poking her with the golf club and shouting "YOU'RE out of bounds!", ending up with both twins poking each other. In the episode "Not What He Seems", Dipper and Mabel play with water balloons, enjoying classic summer fun. He also seems to not mind breaking the law to have fun. For example, in "The Stanchurian Candidate", when Stanley Pines asks Dipper and Mabel if they want to vandalize the new mayor's house, they both follow their uncle while cheering for joy, and Dipper even yells "Yay! Vandalism!". In "Not What He Seems" Stanley, Mabel, and Dipper are seen on the roof of the Mystery Shack bonding by exploding fireworks. When asked by the police if they have a permit, Stanley responds with "Do you have a permit for being lame?" to which they all laugh. In a "Fixin' it with Soos" episode, Soos tells Dipper and Wendy to hit the nitrous boosters that he installed onto the golf cart. Dipper asks "Aren't those illegal?", and Soos responds with "You bet your life they are baby!" All three of them then laugh with joy as the golf cart drastically speeds up. Dipper wears a dark moderate blue and white baseball cap with a dark moderate blue brim and a dark moderate blue pine tree on the front. He has somewhat messy brown hair and relatively pale skin, and his nose is a bit darker than the rest of his face. His eyes are brown,[35] like Mabel's, with noticeable bags underneath.[36] He wears a navy blue vest (which has inner pockets on both sides), a reddish-orange t-shirt, gray shorts, white knee-high socks with a red stripe, black sneakers with white soles, and a sometimes visible gray digital wristwatch. He is sometimes seen with a green backpack. He has a birthmark on his forehead shaped like the constellation, the Big Dipper, hence his nickname "Dipper", which he hides under his bangs. He is exactly one millimeter shorter than his sister, Mabel Pines[28]; however, he grows taller than her throughout the show. His only other clothes seen on the show are: the hat he arrived in Gravity Falls with; his lamb costume in "The Inconveniencing"; the peanut butter costume he wore in "Summerween"; the wolf costume that Grunkle Stan made Dipper wear for an attraction at the Mystery Shack and, later, his tour guide clothes in "Boss Mabel"; the white shirt, red swimsuit, and red and white hat he wore as a lifeguard uniform in "The Deep End"; a V-neck and full-length black pants he wore for the Woodstick Festival in "The Love God"; and a white shirt with a black tuxedo, a black bow tie and a matching pants and shoes in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", as well as another tuxedo consisting in a white and grey shirt with a black tie and black tailcoat, matching pants and brown shoes while being possessed by Bill in "Sock Opera". As of "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," he receives and wears Wendy Corduroy's lumberjack hat. His nightwear or comfortable outfit for hanging around the Mystery Shack is the same as his regular outfit, but without his hat, vest, or shoes. Mabel is an energetic, fun, bouncy, hyperactive, enthusiastic and free-spirited girl. She is an optimist who skips through life with a braces-filled smile and an assortment of extremely colorful knit sweaters. It is Mabel's outgoing personality and fearless curiosity that comes in handy when Dipper needs help solving a mystery, even if she isn't always aware of her silliness.[31] She shows a more sophisticated attitude when it comes to art.[4] Despite all the weirdness in Gravity Falls, Mabel is always a "glass-half-full" kind of girl.[32] She is rarely angry or upset, and generally keeps a positive outlook. Despite her cheerful attitude, Mabel is shown to be quite sensitive, as she can occasionally get her feelings hurt, especially by her rival, Pacifica Northwest.[31] She is somewhat naive at times. She avoids lying[13] and is a terrible liar, often blurting out whatever it is about which she is trying to lie.[14] Mabel is aware of her charm and cherishes her cuteness and beauty.[5] She generally has a high opinion of herself, considering herself "irresistible" to boys ("Tourist Trapped"), claiming that she does everything perfectly ("The Time Traveler's Pig"), and fully believing she is of "pure, perfect heart" ("The Last Mabelcorn"). Mabel has also on occasion made mistakes that accidentally backfire in some way. For example, she shoves her brother in a closet with Wendy in "Into the Bunker" so that he could end his anxiety and admit his crush on Wendy. This unintentionally endangers them when they encounter a dangerous creature. Also, in "The Love God," she also caused Wendy's friend group to temporarily break up after she had made Robbie Valentino and Tambry date each other. However, like her brother, Mabel has the best of intentions and she will always try to choose the right options for the happiness of herself and others. She also proves to be clumsy, as in the episode "Soos and the Real Girl," when Mabel was playing and suddenly collides with the front door of the Mystery Shack and gets a brace stuck on the metal door. Mabel is a preteen dreamer with a world filled with preteen novels (mostly about vampires), and her fixation on finding her one true love[8] occasionally lands her in sticky situations. She sometimes has her moments of self-centered behavior, most notably when it comes to boys with whom she's infatuated with. In episodes like "Sock Opera" and "Boyz Crazy," she has been known to prioritize her own desires over that of others, but she, in the end, owns up and accepts her mistake. Another similar occasion is in "The Time Traveler's Pig," where she makes Dipper sacrifice his chance with Wendy to let her win Waddles (though Dipper in that episode has been explained by Alex Hirsch as being in the wrong given his manipulation of time to achieve a goal that only pleases him).[33] In the book Gravity Falls: Lost Legends, it is revealed in the story "Don't Dimension It" that after being stranded in an in-between world full of alternate versions of herself, Mabel realized, due to being stuck with multiple versions of herself who all act in their own interest against her, how self-serving she sometimes acted. However, given the events of Lost Legends are considered canonish, it is up to the individual to decide whether or not the events in this story really occurred. Mabel is a short girl who is exactly one millimeter taller than her twin brother.[11] She has long brown hair that reaches her hips and curls towards the bottom, a little tuft of hair on the back of her head, and brown eyes like Dipper's.[34] According to Journal 3, she has the "famous "Pines Hair Curls". She has silver-colored braces and round blushing cheeks. Mabel's apparel varies for each episode, more so than any other character, with at least one new outfit usually consisting of a sweater, undershirt, skirt, headband, black ballerina flats, white anklet socks, and occasionally earrings, though she does deviate from this look occasionally. Her signature outfit is a short-sleeved pink undershirt underneath a slightly darker warm pink sweater with a shooting star, accompanied by a purple, teal and orange-striped tail falling toward the left, a matching warm pink headband, a loose purple pencil skirt, coupled with black ballerina flats and white socks. When playing mini-golf, Mabel wears a pink polo shirt with a purple skirt. For her nightwear, she has a purple long-sleeve shirt-nightgown with a floppy disk in the middle, matching purple headband and dark pink socks. Her swimsuit is a red one-piece, magenta-y swimsuit with a yellow star in the middle, as well as a matching red headband. In "The Time Traveler's Pig," she wears a fuchsia pink flower in her hair and fuchsia pink sneakers. Stanley "Stan" Pines (born June 15th[14] or 16th[15]), also known as Grunkle Stan and formerly under the assumed identity Stanford Pines,[9][3] is Dipper and Mabel Pines' great uncle and summer guardian, and a paternal uncle of Mr. Pines. He is the deuteragonist of the series. After many years of crime and infamy, he took up residence in the remote town of Gravity Falls, Oregon,[16] where he exploited local lore and the gullibility of the "dumbest people in the world"[17] to finance himself by running a dubious tourist trap known as the Mystery Shack. Despite his initial claims of skepticism to the supernatural,[18] he is later revealed to be deeply connected with the paranormal and about the town's weird paranormal status,[19][20] most notably the decades-long operation of an interdimensional portal[19] he used to rescue his twin brother, Ford Pines.[9] Stan represents the oyster symbol associated with the Bill Cipher Zodiac, as it is present on his fez. Stanford "Ford" Filbrick Pines[3][10] (born June 15th[11] or 16th[12]), also known as The Author, or simply Great Uncle or Grunkle Ford, is a paranormal investigator who came to Gravity Falls, Oregon, to study the huge concentration of supernatural activity in and around the town. After spending years cataloging his research in a series of journals, he disappeared into an alternate dimension. His writings were left as the only evidence of his existence. Ford's identity and whereabouts were the central mystery and element of foreshadowing of the Gravity Falls series until the middle of the series' second season when he was revealed to be Stan Pines' long-lost twin brother, who vanished after a fight with his brother caused him to stumble through his own interdimensional portal.[13][1] Ford represents the six-fingered hand symbol associated with the Bill Cipher Zodiac, due to his polydactyly and his journals bearing the same symbol. Wendy Blerble Corduroy[2][3] (born 1997)[7] is a tall, laid-back teenager working a part-time job at the Mystery Shack.[9] Fun-loving and rebellious, she frequently shirks responsibility for activities that she finds more enjoyable, such as hanging out with her rambunctious friends or going on adventures with Dipper and Mabel Pines. Wendy represents the bag of ice symbol associated with the Bill Cipher Zodiac, due to her cool demeanor in the face of danger. Jesús "Soos" Alzamirano Ramirez[3] (born July 13, 1990[3][8]) is an employee and current owner[7] of the Mystery Shack. He was born in Gravity Falls, Oregon.[10] The tritagonist of Gravity Falls, Dipper and Mabel Pines often include Soos in their adventures. Soos represents the question mark symbol associated with the Bill Cipher Zodiac, as it is present on his T-shirt.
