!!Gatesfield, Connecticut
'''WARNING: Each of these characters is a WalkingSpoiler. All spoilers in their folders are unmarked.'''

[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: The town wasn't seen at the beginning of the series due to Camila and Luz moving away. It was first seen in a flashback in "Socket to Me"[[note]]which is set between the series' take on "Through the Looking Glass Ruins" and "Hunting Palismen"[[/note]], before formally debuted in the series's take of "Yesterday's Lie", "Escape from Gatesfield".
* AdaptationNameChange: The town of Gravesfield has been renamed after the Gates family, who run the town after taking it over.
* AlternateSelf: The entire town has one in the universe where [[Recap/LuzClawthorneInterludeWhatIfAbigailRaisedLuz Abigail took in Luz]].
* GreaterScopeVillain: Somehow on an even greater scope than Gravesfield had been in ''The Owl House''; nearly everyone in the town's community is a judgemental hypocrite who wouldn't bother with helping people when they need it, talk about said people behind their backs yet still act friendly with them, and avoiding their own problems while [[InSpiteOfANail continuing to supress those that stray from the status quo]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: The town's population are considered to be these by Clara, as they hope those with traumatic experiences get better but they still talk about said people behind their backs.
* StepfordSmiler: Also according to Clara, everybody usually hides who they truly are behind insincere smiles.

[[folder:G.B. Gates]]
!!Gabriel Belmont Gates
The author of the book, "The War Against Witchcraft", and the ancestor of the Gates family. The town of Gravesfield was renamed Gatesfield after him.

* AmbiguousSituation: His final fate was unknown, and WordOfGod confirms he visited the Boiling Isles at some point, but how he got there and why was a mystery. Chapter 87 would remove the ambiguity by revealing he made the mistake of crossing Philip Clawthorne.
* ConnectedAllAlong: "Let's Dip Into the Time Pool Again" reveals that he was a part of Philip's expedition.
* GreaterScopeVillain: His actions towards the inhabitants of the Demon Realm would factor in to Philip becoming Emperor Belos and continuing to change the alleged fate of the Isles.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Gabriel took advantage of Philip's trusting nature in order to set fire to his hometown, shoot his boyfriend dead, steal his portal key, and burn down his family home with his parents, sister-in-law, and his brother's children inside. Philip pays him back in full by dropping him down the Titan's skull, the impact of the fall doing him in.
* MinorMajorCharacter: He's a witch hunter whose descendants grew to carry on his legacy of hunting down and eliminating witchkind. His actions would also be the reason why Belos developed a hatred towards humanity.
* PosthumousCharacter: Probably died an undisclosed number of years before the present day.
* PredecessorVillain: He serves as this to the three most recent Director Gates, the current one being Angel, who had married into the family.
* VillainousLegacy: His descendants run the town of Gatesville and Abigail seems to be following in his footsteps.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He was friends with Philip during his trip to the Boiling Isles. However, it's subverted since it wasn't real; Gabriel didn't hesitate to kill witches to steal Philip's portal door, including Philip's boyfriend Adam.
* TheWitchHunter: Given the fact that Boscha found passages about witch hunts in their book, he's definitely implied to be this. This ends up being confirmed in Chapter 58.

[[folder:Angel Sinclair]]
!!Angelica "Angel" Sinclair-Gates
A teenage girl that Eda befriended during her first visit to the human realm who has borderline personality disorder. After being killed by the Owl Beast and resurrected, she grew up to become the current Director Gates and thus TheLeader of Department A, otherwise known as the "Archangels", an organization that is trying to access the Demon Realm.

* AccidentalMurder: While she was fighting Abigail, the Owl Beast mixed the girls up and mauled Angel which led to her death.
* AnArmAndALeg: The Owl Beast had torn off her arm while mauling her. When she was revived, she was given a robotic replacement.
* AnonymousBenefactor: To the Blind Eye Society. Following the epilogue to Book One, she's no longer anonymous.
* ArcVillainess: She turns out to be the current Director Gates, making her the main antagonist of the Earth side of the "Human Realm" Arc.
* BackFromTheDead: WordOfGod confirms that Eda really did kill her, yet she was brought back to life at some point. Chapter 85 shows that Isaac and her mother had Victor Frankenstein bring her back to life.
* BigBadEnsemble: She's in this category because she's in league with the Blind Eye Society, Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Frakes. She leads all of them and runs Department A, an organization dedicated to wiping out not just witchkind, but all magical beings.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was expected to be a perfect little girl who could do no wrong and that eventually led to her crumbling under the pressure. Her resulting freakouts actually got her labeled as a freak. Even her ''own mother'' failed to understand how she came to that point.
* DeathOfAChild: Her supposed AccidentalMurder at the age of 14 left a great deal of emotional pain in both Eda and Abigail.
* EyeScream: The Owl Beast also tore out her eye, which would be replaced somehow by Victor Frankenstein.
* FreakOut: Everyone in town knows her for having these, as she got very emotional and would act out from stress.
* GreaterScopeVillain: As the head of Department A, she's responsible for the cutthroat actions of Dr. Frakes and Michael.
* HearingVoices: "The Glandus War: Turning Point" reveals she heard one that scared her enough to demand Eda to take her back to the Human Realm.
* IronicName: She is nowhere near close to her namesake. In the past, she rebelled because people expected her to be a model citizen. In present day, she's a ruthless murderer who's striving to wipe out all of magic kind.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Angel's death has left a great deal of pain on both Eda and Abigail. This is subverted when it is revealed that she is alive in the present day.
* MoodSwinger: She admits to having these, being emotionally unstable.
* OnlyFriend: It works both ways with Eda: Angel saw her as this while Eda had cut off contact with her family and Raine, Angel being her only human friend as a kid.
* PosthumousCharacter: Eda killed her while in her Owl Beast form 30 years ago. Tragically subverted when it is revealed that she is alive in the present day.
* SourOutsideSadInside: She acts like a rebel because everyone in Gatesfield sees her as a lost cause, which is why she was so eager to leave for the Demon Realm with Eda.
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: She was brought back to life by Dr. Frankenstein shortly after her death, so she retains no visible body damage outside of her missing arm.
%%* TragicVillain
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Yup, Director Gates sports a white suit and ''definitely'' shows signs of qualifying as a villain.
* VillainousLegacy: She is not the first Director Gates.
* WitchHunter: A modern example created by Isaac and his connections.

[[folder:The Gates Siblings]]
!!Abigail and Joseph Gates
Two siblings who are the descendants of Gabriel Gates. Joseph succeeded his father as director of their organization and he held the title until his death, being succeeded by Angel Sinclair, his wife. Abigail on the other hand suffers from emotional baggage as a result of having seen Angel killed in front of her, only to appear crazy when Angel's death and resurrection get covered up.

[[AC:General]]
* {{Jerkass}}: They're the ones who reveled in mocking Angel for her disorder the most. In her words, they treat her like she's possessed.

[[AC:Tropes related to Abigail Gates]]
* AffectionateNickname: Invoked with "Gail", which she tells Camila to call her when they first met, but played straight with "Abby", which Luz uses.
* AmicableExes: Subverted. She dated the Huntsman during her training days, but now she loathes him for continuing her family's mission to eradicate all magical creatures.
* AngstySurvivingTwin: Her brother died in an explosion fourteen years prior; it ended up affecting her to the point of attempting suicide.
* AwfulWeddedLife: Her marriage with Frank has shades of this, and considering she's in the closet...
* BadassNormal: Despite not possessing magic and being a normal human, she still remembers her Huntsclan training and can put it to good use.
* ConnectedAllAlong: "Chapter 69: That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles" not only reveals that she was friends with Camila, but that Camila asked her to be ''Luz's godmother'', a revelation that horrifies Luz since she thinks that Abigail is a witch hunter.
* FantasticRacism: As a child, she didn't see Eda as a person and was fine with her being "put down". Subverted as an adult since while she still hates Eda, it has nothing to do with her being a witch.
* GoodAllAlong: While she was a bully who embraced her family's teachings in her youth, it is eventually revealed that as an adult she decided to not become a witch hunter like the rest of her family, despite several characters suspecting otherwise.
* GreenEyedMonster: Implied according to WordOfGod. Abigail may have been suspicious of Eda when she first met her and saw her hanging around with Angel, and not because she had learned she was a witch. With how vehement Abigail has been about her hatred of Eda ever since Angel's death, it's looking like Abigail had loved Angel, the old version of her.
* HeelFaceTurn: During the Equinox Hunt and her final test to join the Huntsclan, Abigail couldn't bring herself to kill a unicorn and was surprised to see it comfort her while she was breaking down. Following this, she would come to realize the sadistic nature of her family and swear off following their legacy of hatred against magickind and witches... mostly.
* InSeriesNickname: Self-invoked, she tells Camila to call her "Gail" when they first meet, and Camila calls her that years later after her resurrection.
* JerkassToOne: While Abigail may no longer share her family's hatred of witches, she still loathes Eda and punches her in the face when she tries to talk to her. If anything, Abigail hates Eda even more now upon learning that she is Luz's mother, believing that Eda took Luz (her goddaughter) away from her.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Abigail is stunned not just by the Nocedas being alive and Eda raising Luz, but by how Angel had known the truth about Luz living in the Demon Realm for years and never told her.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: After returning home following her expulsion from the Huntsclan, Abigail was ostracized by her family and the rest of Gatesfield after failing to convince people that Angel had died and was resurrected. In the present, many had believed she was a witch hunter but the reality is that she saw the truth about magical creatures not being a threat to humans and shed her hatred toward magic...that is except for Eda, but she would start finding a compromise with her later on.
* RedHerring: "Northwest Party Crashers" reveals that Angel's the current Director Gates, thus Abigail was this all along.
* {{Revenge}}: After Eda (as the Owl Beast) killed Angel, Abigail vowed to make her pay for what she did. It's later revealed that she couldn't live up to that promise.
%%* WellDoneDaughterGirl
* WhiteSheep: She and her daughter Clara are this to the Gates family.
* WitchHunter: Subverted. Several characters suspect Abigail of being a witch hunter while others argue that she's not, and the latter is eventually confirmed.

[[AC:Tropes related to Joseph]]
* CharacterDeath: He died in a fire caused by an explosion, the same fire that killed Manny.
* MinorMajorCharacter: He only appears in flashbacks but has been at the core of several events in Gatesfield. His bullying Angel alongside his sister led to Angel escaping to the Demon Realm with Eda and her subsequent death when Abigail brought in their father to kill Eda. His death in Department A dealt a serious blow to Abigail and allowed his wife, the resurrected Angel, to succeed him.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His death allowed his wife to succeed him as Director Gates.

* EarlyBirdCameo: He appeared briefly in a flashback about Eda's first visit to Earth.

[[folder:Clara]]
!!Clara Gates
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lc_clara_gates.png]]
%% [[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]

Abigail's young teenage daughter who's aware of her mother's fragile mental state and tries to help her. Tired of being perfect, she finds herself joining other like-minded kids her age to help Willow escape from her family's organization.

* AffectionateNickname: Masha starts calling her "Sarah Connor" for having the guts to beat somebody up.
* AMFMCharacterization: "Chapter 91: Fairly God-Witches" shows her to be a fan of pop music, listening to Music/Maroon5, Creator/SelenaGomez and Music/BigTimeRush, thus showcasing her as a typical preppy girl following the latest stars. On the other hand, she has a strong connection to "Blackbird" by Music/PaulMcCartney, which symbolized her desire to be free from her dull life in Gatesfield, which she gains from traveling with her friends.
* AscendedExtra: She's an unnamed background character in the series, but she's one of the stars in her second appearance.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Among the three kids who lost a relative in the Department A explosion. While Luz and Gus G. were both born before the accident, Clara was born sometime afterward.

* CrushBlush: Once she gets a crush on Masha, she'll occasionally blush whenever they have a pseudo-romantic moment.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt:
** Her jealousy towards Vee is eventually discovered by Gus G. in "Those Gravity Falls Kids", and he becomes the first person to figure out Clara's crushing on Masha.
** In Chapter 108, Amity outright tells her she figured out her crush on the goth due to her own experiences with crushes.
* {{Foil}}: To Mabel regarding their relationships with Luz. Both girls hoped to bond with Luz as she's the closest they have to a sister but as their first outings with her show, they had different experiences in that regard: Mabel and her friends dragged Luz around all day and forced her to participate in stereotypical girl activities without asking what she wanted to do, while Clara and her friends let Luz take the lead and show them her unique brand of fun. Mabel's actions led to Luz telling her off for not listening to her and forcing a bond between them, yet Clara was concerned that Luz wouldn't find her interesting due to how mundane her life is compared to hers. In the end, both girls found a way to get along with her by accepting her and the trouble that follows her.
* GreenEyedMonster: After meeting Vee and seeing Masha's interest in her abilities, Clara quickly starts to get jealous of the basilisk and how they get along. This jealousy disappears once Clara learns that Vee doesn't like Masha as anything more than a friend.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Unlike the rest of her family who are all brunettes with black hair, Clara is a blonde which hints at her being more compassionate than the rest of her family and is proven when she and her friends help Willow escape Department A's clutches.
* IJustWantToBeFree: Clara is sick of the life she had in Gatesfield and wants to be free of it, a wish she eventually gets helping Willow return home.
* MirrorCharacter: She's one to Amity; both girls grew up having to conform to the perfect image their family had, burying their true personalities deep down, having to be friends with people because of their parents. However while Amity had always feared stepping out of line against her parents or fake friends should someone she cares about be insulted by them until she met Luz, Clara blows up in public and attacks one of her so-called friends for insulting her mother before befriending Masha.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: She doesn't have an canonical name, so she's christened with the popular fan name she's always given.
* NoNameGiven: She's the blonde doppelganger of Amity, but she wasn't named in her debut.
* OddFriendship: She's a cheerleader who gets along with goth girl Masha over their mutual dissatisfaction over how things are in Gatesfield.
* OfficialCouple: Masha asks her out in "A Long Overdue Reunion" while they're alone together, much to her happiness.
* ThePaladin: In "Fairly God-Witches", Masha labels her as this during the mission to save Dipper and Ford, and Clara ends up being outfitted with paladin armor and a sword in the battle royale against Probabilitor.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Since Abigail Gates is Luz's godmother, this means she's Luz's godsister.
* TheRunaway: She's hesitant at first about just leaving her parents to help a bunch of kids she's only been around for a few hours and a witch she just met, but agrees to leave, determined to see it through.
* ShipTease: Starting in "The Long, the Witch, and the Ninja", Clara starts to show signs of having feelings for Masha, [[CrushBlush blushing]] around her and [[GreenEyedMonster being jealous of her friendship with Vee]].

* TheNicknamer: She often gives people nicknames, such as calling Rudo "Rudy", Clara "Sarah Connor", and Willow "ComicBook/PoisonIvy".
* HasAType: Masha mentions in Chapter 97 that she likes blondes after seeing Vee with her new hair color, implying she likes both Vee and Clara.
* HiddenDepths: "Fairly God-Witches" highlights her musical tastes, those being Music/BabyMetal, Music/{{Coldplay}}, and Music/LemonDemon.
* OddFriendship: Downplayed as even though she's a goth who strikes up a bond with cheerleader Clara, she sympathizes with her disdain of life in their hometown.
* OfficialCouple: In Chapter 113, she takes Clara by surprise by asking her out, admitting she's had feelings for her for some time.

[[folder:Gus G.]]
!!Augustus "Gus" Gordon
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lc_gus_gordon.png]]
%% [[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]

A musically-inclined boy with dreams of touring the world. Curious about what happened to his father when he worked with Department A, he investigates and finds himself joining Clara, Masha, Dana and Rudo in rescuing Willow.

* AffectionateNickname:
** Luz starts calling him "Double G" to differentiate him from witch Gus in Chapter 91. Vee uses the same nickname in Chapter 112.
** All of Luz's friends take to calling him different names combined with the number two. He settles on Gus-Two after Amelia calls him that in "The Errands in the Willows".
* AlliterativeName: '''G'''us '''G'''ordon.
* AlternateSelf: WordOfGod sees him as one for the werecat, Casey Whiskabee.
* AMFMCharacterization: While Gus is a music fan who slowly establishes himself as someone who enjoys rock in general (due to his interest in Iron Weasel), he leans toward alternate rock due to his liking Music/{{Gorillaz}} and Music/PanicAtTheDisco, showing he's rebelling but doesn't go overboard about it. In "Fairly God-Witches", he shows himself to be a fan of Music/GreenDay, thus proving he likes punk rock as well.
* AscendedExtra: The Gus from the Human Realm that Luz mentions knowing in "I Was a Teenage Abomination"? Yeah, this is a take on the kid donated to the story for a [[ThrowItIn "Submit Your OC" contest]].
* DisappearedDad: His father died in the same accident that took Manny and Joseph's lives, and he struggles to talk about it.
* {{Foil}}: To Cross of all people. They were both introduced in the "Human Realm" arc, yet while Cross wasn't of much importance when he debuted, Gus G. was a major supporting player in helping Willow return home. Afterward, the boys ended up with SwappedRoles; bit by bit, Gus would become a bit more OutOfFocus as Book 2 continued on while Cross gets sucked into other people's drama and receive some of his own, eventually becoming a main character.
* GoalInLife: Gus dreams of being a musician and traveling beyond Gatesfield, not wanting to go his entire life stuck in the so-called "perfect little town". He's able to experience the latter when he, his mother and the other Gatesfield teens escape with Willow and begin traveling to New York City at his suggestion.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's got dirty blonde hair and didn't hesitate to help a kid he just met find a way to return home, regardless of the danger.
* HiddenDepths:
** He has a diverse range and interest in multiple music genres based on his preferences to Iron Weasel, Gorillaz, Panic! at the Disco, and Green Day.
** "Closing the Gates" shows that he appreciates old-school special effects and stunts in movies rather than CGI.
** He mentions in the "Intro Sequence Contest" that he plays three types of guitar, including electric. This becomes canon to the story in "Fairly God-Witches".
* IJustWantToBeFree: He refuses to stay in Gatesfield his entire life, which is why he's so determined to travel and is happy to suggest where to go when the group of kids and his mother leave town.
* IncompatibleOrientation: He admits to having a small thing for Vee in Chapter 112 since he calls her cute. Sadly, he learns from Dipper that Vee's a lesbian, so he's quick to move on and avoid falling any harder for her.
* MagicMusic: Masha likens him to a bard during the DD&D mission in "Fairly God-Witches"; as such when the kids are forced into a game against Probabilitor, he's given instruments to use as weapons (starts off with a harp, gains a thunder guitar when Camila changes his instrument.)
* MirrorCharacter:
** He holds a few similarities to Robbie; they're both musicians hoping to leave their hometowns and get their name out there, yet while Robbie is old enough to and has already done so, Gus is still too young to do it himself but still gets the opportunity.
** He can also be seen as one to Luz: they're both fourteen-year-olds who lost their fathers in the same accident, also share an interest in music, and they both want to live their lives without being restrained or limited on what they want to do with them. The obvious difference between them is that Luz has a massive amount of trauma that Gus will never have to experience.
** He's also one to the werecat Casey Whiskabee[[labelnote:*]]with WordOfGod calling him Gus' Demon Realm counterpart[[/labelnote]]. Like with Robbie, both are talented musicians who specialize in guitar, with these two also being dissatisfied with their home lives and wanting to escape them. Both have also been attracted to lesbians (Casey had a crush on Nina and was shot down when he tried to kiss her, Gus briefly had an attraction to Vee but was told of her orientation before he could develop deeper feelings for her.)
* OneSteveLimit: He shares both his name and nickname with Gus Porter, and he is quick to point it out when Willow mentions her friend.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Most people call him Gus; his mother tends to use his full name and has to be reminded that he prefers his nickname.
* TheRockstar: His GoalInLife is to become one and seeing as he can play guitar and sing, he's on his way.
* ShipTease: Chapters 108 and 109 hint that he's going to have some with Amelia, especially considering they share a dance at Luz & Amity's faux wedding reception.
* TwoFirstNames: Gordon is usually used as a first name.

[[folder:Nora]]
!!Leonora "Nora" Gordon
Gus G.'s mother and Superintendent of Gatesfield's school district. She's often busy with her job and prods her son into finding a practical career, but will help him if he needs it.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's a blonde as well, and more compassionate than any other adult in Gatesfield.
* HiddenDepths: As "Those Gravity Falls Kids" shows, she knows how to fight thanks to learning some of her militant father's combat techniques.
* MeaningfulName: In Greek, "Leonora" means "compassionate", which hints at Nora's more sympathetic nature before she aides the Gatesfield teens in getting Willow to safety. Her name also means "light", a similarity she shares with Luz.
* NotSoAboveItAll: She takes a lot of enjoyment out of punching Preston in the face for trying to kill Dipper, which she lampshades.
* OpenMindedParent: Unlike the rest of the parental units in Gatesfield, Nora instantly accepts the existence of magic when Willow confirms she's a witch and agrees to help her son and his acquaintances with getting her out of town.
