History Characters / GravityFallsYouth

** Taken to ridiculous extremes in "The Love God''. After Wendy and her friends hear a brief snippet of a song he wrote about their breakup, he claims that it was written about another girl named Wendy. Nobody believes him for a second.

* BirdsOfAFeather: In "The Love God", [[spoiler:he ends up in a relationship with Tambry, a girl just as gloomy as he is.]]
* BreakTheHaughty: His appearances in the first season collectively amount to this, and culminate in [[spoiler: Wendy finally dumping him after he tries brainwashing her into staying with him.]]

* TheDandy: He does seem quite a bit metrosexual. Besides sporting {{Guyliner}}, he shows off his new jeans by striking a pose in "The Time Traveler's Pig," and in "The Love God," he references stealing Wendy's make-up.
** In the final part of [[spoiler: Weirdmageddon]], Pacifica freaks out when her hair catches fire (in a manner mocking her vanity), and Robbie then freaks out in a similar fashion when his also catches fire.

* EnfantTerrible: "Blendin's Game" shows that he was a {{Jerkass}} in his kindergarten years too. It might have just been a phase however, as the pictures of him shown in "Love God" show him starting off as a seemingly cheerful boy, and getting progressively darker as he gets older, until he reached his present state.

* HeelFaceBrainwashing: Robbie is a much different person ever since [[spoiler:Mabel used a love potion on him and Tambry]]. [[spoiler:Mabel doesn't undo it even after getting an anti-love potion because it would only make an even bigger mess of things. Then again, he's still his usual grumpy self in subsequent appearances, so him being kinder towards Dipper probably WAS sincere]].

** "Gideon Rises" shows him genuinely upset that [[spoiler: Wendy dumped him.]] He's a little obsessive and he ''definitely'' deserves it, but...
** Furthered in "Love God" where [[spoiler: after starting to date Tambry, he starts to become nicer, even thanking Mabel for hooking them up.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: In Boyz Crazy, he tells Dipper--as he's on his date with Wendy--"Catch you on the rewind". This, and Grunkle Stan, gives Dipper the EurekaMoment to figure out that there's backmasked subliminal messaging in the song he wrote for Wendy. That--and the fact that he lied about ripping it off some other band--was enough for Wendy to break up with him.]] Furthermore, she was on the verge of breaking up with him anyway due to him being a terrible boyfriend.

* NeverMyFault: Blames Dipper for his [[spoiler: break up with Wendy]] in "The Love God" yet seems to not realize a good chuck of that was from his own selfishness. By the end of the series, while [[spoiler: both Gideon and Pacifica]] have been shown to recognize and regret their failings and try to be better people, Robbie has not had any on-screen moment of him admitting his own failings. All he does is move on and forgive Dipper for things the latter didn't do.

* PhoneaholicTeenager: Implied. Clearly not to the same extent as Tambry, but Dipper mentions that Robbie posts a "really annoying" amount of status updates, and during [[spoiler: Weirdmageddon]], Wendy states that he would have [[spoiler: avoided being captured by Bill Cipher in the cemetery]], had he not have stopped to take a selfie.

* TheAce: Pacifica is very rich, the most popular girl of Gravity Falls, an accomplished mini-golfer, and her family has a long history of doing good deeds. [[spoiler:The last one turns out to be a lie. And most of the other stuff is simply a way to please her abusive, selfish, controlling parents]].

* AnimalMotif: She is associated with the llama in "Northwest Mansion Noir", which is notable as the llama is an ArcSymbol found on Cipher's wheel.

* AscendedExtra: She has become a relatively popular character, which Alex Hirsch didn't expect because she's such a terror compared to [[NiceGirl Mabel.]] She began getting further character development in Season 2, possibly because of this.

* BackForTheFinale: Is seen with her parents in Weirdmageddon. [[spoiler:Appears again in Weirdmageddon 2 and Weirdmageddon 3.]]

* BeingEvilSucks: Pacifica discovers this the HARD WAY after discovering that [[spoiler:her entire family have always been liars, cheaters, and sociopaths.]] After this discovery, she's willing to put an end to [[spoiler:her family's legacy.]]

* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: When Dipper revealed to Pacifica his and Mabel's findings about the history of Gravity Falls in "Irrational Treasure". This was only one of many lies she's about to find out]].

** Finally happens completely in [[spoiler: "Northwest Mansion Noir". When she discovers just how evil her family legacy really is, and gets accused of being just as bad as them, she goes into a total breakdown (see VillainousBSOD), not even caring that she'll probably die in the ghost's rampage until Dipper snaps her out of it.]]

** In Weirdmageddon Part 3, she is the most cynical and aggressive in the group because both of her parents were captured.

* TheCameo: Can be seen walking with her parents in ''Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future''.
* CerebusRetcon: Her stuck-up and pompous attitude is the result of [[spoiler:''heavily'' implied parental abuse. We also learn that her parents basically treats her like a trained animal.]]

* EnemyMine: With Dipper against the Lumberjack Ghost in "Northwest Mansion Noir", in the beginning at least. At the time, Dipper just wanted to help her with the expectation that they'd be rid of each other for the rest of the summer.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Although she's more of a brat than evil, [[spoiler:Pacifica is averse to lying and cheating to get what she wants, and she was appalled when she discovered a room depicting all the falsehoods and treachery her ancestors had done over the years ([[ContinuitySnarl even though she did cheat once in]] [[Recap/GravityFallsS1E7DoubleDipper Double Dipper]]). Despite finding their actions so despicable, she still suffers a VillainousBSOD when she assumes the same of herself.]]

* FallenPrincess: [[spoiler:Somewhat parodied in the finale, as the Northwest family goes broke but still manages to stay wealthier than most people through selling their mansion... but now Pacifica can only afford to keep "just one pony". The horror! Still, didn't stop her from attending Dipper and Mabel's birthday celebration, and at least she had more than enough that she could spare a few gifts to Dipper and Mabel]]
* FalseFriend: Given her interactions with Dipper in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", her friends in Season 1 ("Double Dipper", "The Time Traveler's Pig") may not have been real friends to her and could have been [[spoiler:hired by the Northwest Family to further control their public appearances, as is revealed in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", or just befriended Pacifica because of her wealth.]]

* FatalFlaw: Pride. Pacifica is so utterly convinced of her own inherent superiority that it often blinds her to what other people are capable of. Of course, [[spoiler:her pride also blinded her to the true nature of her family, which ultimately comes back to bite her when a ghost targets the Northwests.]]

** She gets even ''more'' development in "Northwest Mansion Mystery," where we learn that her haughty demeanor is the result of [[spoiler:fear of her AbusiveParents.]]

** In "The Golf War" Mabel and Pacifica decide to stop their rivalry after fighting the evil Liliputtians together, Pacifica even mentions that at the end of the day she had fun.
** Starting out as an EnemyMine, she and Dipper seem to have reached this status by "Northwest Mansion Noir" after they team up against a lumberjack ghost and Pacifica acknowledges her family's bad history, thanks to Dipper.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: During "Northwest Mansion Noir", Pacifica begins being nicer and ultimately fulfills this trope.
* HateSink: In season 1, she never thinks of anyone other than herself and is needlessly cruel to Mabel. She does, however, get CharacterDevelopment in season 2, while the HateSink position ends up going to [[AbusiveParent her parents]].
* HeelFaceTurn: When Pacifica accepts the hard truth about her family and what she's become, she fully redeems herself by opening the gates and letting all the townsfolk into the mansion. By Weirdmageddon Part 2, she's firmly on the Pines' side in the fight against Bill Cipher, joining the resistance.
* HeelRealization: Gets one in "Northwest Mansion Noir", and realizes that her family is a lot crueler than she thought, but also comes to terms with how terrible she's become as a result of it.

** According To Alex Hirsch, "Pacifica is a very insecure person."
** An Easter egg from ''Lost Legends'' reveals [[spoiler: Pacifica is [[ClosetGeek a skilled player of an online shooter]] called ''Bloodcraft: Overdeath'', has a weakness for puns, and secretly loves [[DeepFriedWhatever deep-fried foods]].]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: Enjoys being the center of attention; probably best shown in "Irrational Treasure." The one time she goes outside her usual shtick, it comes off as a surprise, as Dipper notes.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Happened in "Irrational Treasure" and "The Time Traveler's Pig". In the former, she learns that her ancestor Nathaniel Northwest was not the founder of Gravity Falls, but was really [[spoiler: a waste-shoveling village idiot.]] In the latter, she is seen being repeatedly pecked by a chicken by the end of the episode. Both can be considered fitting punishments for her rude and disrespectful behavior.

* PrincessInRags: Inverted. [[spoiler:By Weirdmageddon 2, her fashionable clothing is swapped out for a raggedy outfit. However, she isn't as snotty anymore save for in a {{Tsundere}} way and has adapted quite enthusiastically, though she's become a little more trigger-happy with her emotions]].

* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Defied. Pacifica knows her parents are bad, but doesn't think her parents deserve a fate of being [[spoiler:cast in stone by Bill, despite the fact that her father got himself into that mess.]]

* SarcasticDevotee: In Weirdmageddon 3, Pacifica spends much of her time snarking, but she still pulls her weight and remains loyal to her friends.

* ShipTease: With [[spoiler:Dipper]] in "Northwest Mansion Mystery". Not helped at all by Alex Hirsch's [[TrollingCreator deliberately vague but provoking answers]] to questions regarding the nature of their relationship along with the balanced comments about the two's relationship during ''VideoGame/GravityFallsLegendOfTheGnomeGemulets'' and Conspiracy Corner meaning that there would be moments of an implied crush but it would be quickly discarded or discredited by her or Dipper. [[spoiler:On the note Dipper receives from Wendy at the end of the series, Pacifica's signature features a heart replacing the dot for the "i" in her name]].

* SitcomArchnemesis: To Mabel, though after "The Golf War" that might be moving towards friends, or at the very least [[VitriolicBestBuds more respectful rivals.]] She's more or less pulled a complete HeelFaceTurn on this trope as of "Northwest Mansion Noir" [[spoiler: after she discovered her family's ''extremely'' shady and duplicitous past, and vowed to fix their broken family name by saving Dipper, Mabel, Candy, Grenda, and the party guests from the Lumberjack's vengeance.]]

* StepfordSmiler: Well, a ''cocky'' smile, Type A. It turns out she's not treated very well by her parents in "Northwest Mansion Noir", and is in fact insecure and thinks lowly of herself once she finds out about what jerkasses her family and ancestors have been.

** She starts off as a SpoiledBrat who can't stand to get dirty. [[spoiler:During Weirdmageddon, she has become a full on ActionSurvivor -- complete with tattered clothing and a battle cry, and who even risks her life to save her unworthy parents.]]
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: In "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Pacifica begins to become happier after befriending Dipper and in the end of Weirdmageddon Part 3, she became cheerful again during Dipper and Mabels birthday party.
* TookALevelInCynic: At the start of "Weirdmageddon Part 3", while this was the case with everyone, she is most cynical and aggressive of the resistance because both of her parents were captured by Bill, she threatens to the sue the resistance if she is killed in the battle, is mean to Mabel by initially refusing to wear the sweater and saying that she still dresses better than Mabel despite wearing a potato sack and finally she does nothing to contribute to the creation of the robot. [[spoiler:She does however become happy again when she is reunited with her parents and she even buys and wraps gifts for Dipper and Mabel's birthday while also signing a note for Dipper to remember all of his friends when he returns home]].

* TragicVillain: Pacifica's backstory is rather tragic; her parents set high standards and expectations for her, constantly pressure and abuse her into upholding the "greatness" of the Northwest family. [[spoiler:The moment she realized how terrible her family legacy actually was, Pacifica felt she had no choice in what she became, and believed there could be no redemption for herself. However, Dipper believed in her enough, and convinced her it wasn't too late]].
* TrophyChild: It turns out that Pacifica's haughty attitude and being great at a variety of hobbies and interests is because her parents had taught her to do so, or invested for her to be "perfect" in favor of their social lives and status at Pacifica's expense, including [[spoiler: conditioning her to obey when a bell is rung, scolding her for small mistakes, and disregarding her personal wants in favor of their own.]]

* AudienceSurrogate: In the ending of Weirdmageddon Part 3.

* AllChinesePeopleKnowKungFu: Candy took a mock kung fu stance at the end of "Weirdmageddon Part 2". Either she knows kung fu, or more likely, the show parodied this trope.

* MulticoloredHair: Tambry's hair is purple with a pink highlight.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Tambry has purple hair with a strand of her left hair being pink; "Blendin's Game" shows that her hair really ''is purple'' and has been that way since she was in Kindergarten, with the pink strand being the only part that's dyed.

* BeautyMark: Underneath his left eye.

* BeautyMark: Grenda has one under her left eye.

* AscendedExtra: Grenda shown up in every episode since "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons".

* AscendedExtra: Candy and Grenda have shown up in every episode since "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons".

* TheWorfEffect: Appears only to get eaten by the Summerween Trickster and convince the gang that the Trickster is more dangerous than they originally thought.

* FingerlessGloves: Wears them, and if "The Love God" is any indication, he gets quite defensive whenever someone implies that they aren't cool looking.

* BigThinShortTrio: With Mabel, Grenada is the big one, Mabel is the thin one and Candy appears as the shortest of the trio.

* AllChinesePeopleKnowKungFu: Candy took a mock kung fu stance at the end of "Weirdmageddon part 2". Either she knows kung fu, or more likely, the show parodied this trope.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: When first introduced, he looks like an adult, though his lack of height shows he's somewhere around Mabel's age. (In a storyboarded scene that didn't make it into the episode, he refers to himself as being thirteen.)

* {{Jerkass}}: {{Enforced|Trope}} InUniverse. A standard bully to the protagonists (mostly to Mabel), but it's later revealed that her parents, especially her father, were molding her into one, and then something worse.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: A family portrait in the mansion depicts a younger Pacifica with a [[NotSoDifferent Mabel-like]] goofy smile.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His name sounds similar to that of Creator/JimHenson , another famous puppeteer, although Gabe himself does not resemble Henson besides that.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Tambry has purple hair with a strand of her left hair being pink; "Blendin's Game" shows that it's been that way since she was in Kindergarten.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her first appearance, Grenda speaks normally until Pacifica says she sounds like a wrestler. Ever since, all her lines have been shouted.
** Also, she's introduced having a lizard on her shoulder as her shtick (being referred to as "the lizard girl" in her debut episode) but after the first episode her lizard is never seen, and her shtick becomes WrestlerInAllOfUs.

** Even in the shorts between the episodes, we see that Thompson is a strict and neurotic manager of the local theater, banning the Pines family simply for accidentally bringing in "outside food or drink" (a single candy bar).
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic.
