3Kristen Joy Schaal (born January 24, 1978 in Longmont, Colorado) is an American comedian, actor, writer, and voice artist.
4
5While she's probably best known as Mabel Pines on ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' and Louise Belcher on ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'', Schaal has had roles in projects as diverse as ''Series/FlightOfTheConchords'', ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'', ''Film/GetHimToTheGreek'', ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2'', ''Series/ThirtyRock'', ''WesternAnimation/CaptainUnderpantsTheFirstEpicMovie'', and ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman''. She was also a contributor on ''Series/TheDailyShowWithJonStewart'' and a writer/consultant for ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''. She stars opposite Creator/WillForte in ''Series/TheLastManOnEarth''. She even got to play {{God}} in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AxeCop''.
6
7Her physical appearance, mostly {{Cloudcuckoolander}} type persona and high-pitched voice make her the 21st century counterpart to Creator/GeorgeBurns' zany comedy partner and wife Creator/GracieAllen. The comparison even carries over to ''Gravity Falls'', where her character acted as the comic {{foil}} to Creator/JasonRitter's {{straight man}} character, much like Allen was foil to Burns' straight man during their old double acts.

9Schaal is also known for the web series ''Penelope Princess of Pets'', in which she stars and co-writes with frequent collaborator Kurt Braunohler. A backdoor pilot for a ''Penelope'' TV series aired on the British anthology show ''Comedy Lab'', and Schaal and Braunohler also appeared as their ''Penelope'' characters in the video for Music/TheNewPornographers' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-g8J3pcmGY Muitiny, I Promise You]]".

11She married writer-producer Rich Blomquist in 2012, and they have one daughter together.
