Main characters Dipper Pines
Mason "Dipper" Pines (voiced by Jason Ritter) is the 12-year-old twin brother of Mabel, who was born 5 minutes after her. He possesses Journal 3, which he discovered in the woods and has helped him solve the mysteries of Gravity Falls. As an adventurer, Dipper has trouble sitting still and is always looking for riddles to solve, leaving him restless in mundane situations. His attention to detail seems helpful when solving mysteries, but others question his credibility. He is considered wise beyond his years and cannot wait to grow up and become a man. He is portrayed as goal-oriented and rooted in facts, and sometimes overthinks possible scenarios and obsessively makes lists, which also makes him more perceptive of the danger Gravity Falls faces. Between seasons, Dipper hosted a series titled "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained". It is revealed early in season 1 that Dipper has a crush on Wendy. While he knows that he will never really be her boyfriend, this does not stop him from trying to please her. Another episode reveals that he likes bubblegum pop music (Dipper vs. Manliness). He got his nickname from a birthmark on his forehead shaped like the Big Dipper. His formal name was never revealed during the series, but was later revealed to be Mason in the release of Journal 3.
Mabel Pines
Mabel Pines (voiced by Kristen Schaal) is the 12-year-old twin sister of Dipper, who was born 5 minutes before him. She is eccentric, energetic, and optimistic, and expresses herself through various colorful knitted sweaters, as well as her skills in arts and crafts. Her outgoing, curious personality often helps Dipper solve mysteries, though her silliness is often seen as a burden. Mabel enjoys preteen novels and seeks romance, as she once went on a date with Li'l Gideon, but broke it off after realizing he is dangerous and nearly killed Dipper. In the episode "Irrational Treasure", she is made an official U.S. congresswoman by the eighth-and-a-half president, Quentin Trembley, with a political platform of "legalize everything". She wins a pet pig in the episode "The Time Traveler's Pig" and names him Waddles. She also makes guest appearances in "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained", and has her own series titled "Mabel's Guide to Life". She is inspired by Alex Hirsch's twin sister, Ariel.
Stanley "Stan" Pines
Stanley "Stan" Pines (also known as Grunkle Stan) (voiced by Alex Hirsch as an adult and Declan J. Krogman as a child) is the great-uncle (or "grunkle" for short) of Dipper and Mabel, who is best characterized by his grumpyness, selfishness and abrasiveness. He has been going by the name Stanford Pines, the name of his older twin brother, but his real name is Stanley. He runs and lives in the Mystery Shack; a tourist trap billed as "the world's most bizarre museum". He is primarily a salesman, putting most of his effort into showmanship, and is eager to sell the Shack's knick-knacks, trinkets, and baubles for exorbitant prices in the gift store section. Because of his drive to make money, his methods of obtaining it are not always legal and frequently commits petty crimes, having a laundry list of crimes a mile long. When he's not making money, he is usually at home watching television. Stan usually wears a fez and carries around an 8-ball topped cane; he sometimes wears an eyepatch over his glasses. He frequently sends the twins on what they consider outrageous and unpredictable errands, but is protective and loving towards them. Despite his age, Stan is physically fit to the point of being able to fight back when threatened. Behind his vending machine, he has a hidden staircase to an unknown location, which the season 1 finale reveals contains a large hidden device powered by encrypted information in the three journals. Later, he collects all three after Li'l Gideon's arrest and after Dipper shows him Journal 3, but later returns it to him. "Not What He Seems" reveals he was attempting to retrieve his older twin brother Ford after he was stranded in another dimension. In the series finale, Stan sacrifices his memory to defeat Bill, but regains it after seeing Mabel's scrapbook. He is based on Alex Hirsch's grandfather Stan. (spoken as a photograph is shown of an old man holding 2 children)
Soos Jesus Alzamirano "Soos" Ramirez (voiced by Alex Hirsch) is a 22-year-old Hispanic man who works as a handyman at the Mystery Shack and is a friend of Dipper and Mabel, who provides transportation when needed. He is a portly and adventurous man-child with buck teeth, which is frequently compared to that of a beaver. He is clumsy and often makes mistakes, but has various talents, including engineering, DJing, and pinball, and enjoys bonding with Dipper by doing "boy stuff". "Blendin's Game" reveals his birthday to be July 13. It was also revealed he did not have a good father-son relationship with his dad. At the end of the series, after Ford and Stan leave Gravity Falls, Soos becomes the new Mr. Mystery of the Mystery Shack. After breaking up with his dating sim girlfriend, GIFfany, Soos enters a long-distance relationship with Melody, a girl from Portland who moves to Gravity Falls and becomes the Mystery Shack's new cashier after he takes over. Hirsch based Soos on Jesus Chambrot, an animator he was friends with at CalArts. Hirsch emulates Jesus' "blunt-like consonance" way of speaking through Soos' voice.
Wendy Corduroy Wendy Corduroy (voiced by Linda Cardellini) is a tomboyish yet laid-back 15-year-old who works as a part-time employee at the Mystery Shack. She is Dipper's crush, and several episodes focus on his attempts to impress her. Wendy has stated that she had many boyfriends, including one ex-boyfriend whom she cannot remember breaking up with. Wendy is the oldest and tallest child in her family; her father is Manly Dan, one of the local lumberjacks and fishermen of Gravity Falls. Throughout the series, she proves herself to be her "father's daughter", having experience as a lumberjack, tremendous physical strength, and survival skills. Being a typical sociable and nonchalant teen, she has many friends around her age. Her boyfriend at the start of the series is Robbie, whom Dipper despises and sees as a rival until she breaks up with him. Wendy later politely rejects Dipper, saying she is too old for him, and they remain close friends.
Stanford "Ford" Pines Stanford Filbrick "Ford" Pines (also known as The Author, Grunkle Ford, and Great Uncle Ford as of "The Last Mabelcorn"; voiced by J. K. Simmons as an adult, Christian Mardini as a child) is Stan's six-fingered long-lost identical older twin brother, Mabel and Dipper's great-uncle, and the author of the journals. "Not What He Seems" reveals that in 1982, he was transported into an alternate dimension through a portal underneath the Mystery Shack, which he was stranded in until Stan reopened the portal. In "The Last Mabelcorn", he recounts his partnership with Bill Cipher and how he attempted to create a teleporter to enter his realm. In the present, after learning of Bill's plan to invade the mainstream dimension, he destroys the teleporter, but at the cost of a dimensional rift leaking out of it, which he contains. In "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future", Bill takes the body of Blendin Blandin, tricking Mabel into giving him the rift, before breaking the glass ball containing the rift, and causing Weirdmageddon. In "Weirdmageddon Part 1", he attempts to defeat Bill, but is captured, petrified, and his journals are destroyed. He is later freed and restored to normal. After Weirdmageddon, he tells Stan that he found remaining anomalies and offers him to go sailing around the world with him to find them, which Stan accepts.
