Mabel's Friends

In General

That's Grenda on the left and Candy on the right.

Candy: "Maybe we don't have as many friends as Pacifica, but we have each other, and that is pretty good I think."
Grenda: "I wanna put her in a headlock and make her feel pain!"

A pair of girls who befriend Mabel.

---

• Action Girl: Grenda proves herself as this in "Summerween" and "Dungeons, Dungeons and More Dungeons". Candy has shades of this as well. Candy shows more than this in "Roadside Attraction".
• Audience Surrogate: In the ending of "Weirdmageddon Part 3".
• Badass Adorable: Downplayed; they don't often play a major part in the conflicts, but the one time did, they proved to do quite well.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Candy's the Brains and Grenda's the Brawn to Mabel's Beauty.
• Beware the Nice Ones: They're both very nice and are good friends to Mabel, but as shown in "Summerween", they're a force to be reckoned with if need be.
• Beware the Silly Ones: Both of them appear to be slightly psychotic in their own ways; Candy has shown signs of mental instability and obsession, including muttering to herself, in the past, while Grenda can be surprisingly callous and violent on occasion (assaulting an ogre from behind in "Dungeons, Dungeons and More Dungeons", then calmly agreeing with Stan's suggestion that they leave the body in the woods).
• Big, Thin, Short Trio: With Mabel; Grenda is the big one, Mabel is the thin one and Candy appears as the shortest of the trio.
• Cute Bruiser : Both of them prove to be this in "Summerween".
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: One of the townsfolk to actively stand up to Bill during the opening sequence of "Weirdmageddon Part 1".
• Drop-In Character: Following their first encounter with Mabel, they make frequent visits to the Mystery Shack often.
• Fat and Skinny: Grenda and Candy respectively.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Grenda's the upfront, Hot-Blooded Red to Candy's demure, Shrinking Violet.
• Shipper on Deck:
  • Mabel and Candy agree to be "co-bridesmaids" at Grenda and Marius' future wedding.
  • Grenda and Mabel try to hook up Candy with Dipper in "Roadside Attraction".
• Those Two Girls: Are always seen together until Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons, which features Grenda without Candy.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: In "Northwest Mansion Mystery", when they attempt to backstab each other (along with Mabel) and fight amongst themselves to compete for a rich kid's affections. They quickly make up and forgive each other though, implying that it wasn't that serious.
• Town Girls: Candy's the Neither and Grenda's the Butch to Mabel's Femme.

Candy

Candy Chiu

Voiced By: Niki Yang

---

• All Asians Know Martial Arts: 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.
• All Girls Want Bad Boys: Downplayed. Candy was briefly attracted to Dipper in "Roadside Attraction" when he showed more confidence by hiding a Hidden Heart of Gold, but was upset by his philandering.
• Alliterative Name: Candy Chiu.
• Asian and Nerdy: She's Korean and portrayed as eccentrically brainy. Other than her "improvement of human being" scene in her debut episode, she suggests reflecting a rainbow from a waterfall to the Mystery Shack with a mirror in "Mabel's Guide to Color", enjoys reading informative pamphlets during a road trip in "Roadside Attraction", and is implied to have academically strict parents.
• Awesomeness by Analysis: Candy gets a shining moment of it in "Roadside Attraction", using the information from travel pamphlets to perfectly time a seemingly suicidal action to solve all the group's problems.
• Blush Sticker: Has a pair on her cheeks similar to Mabel's.

• Cloudcuckoolander: Candy has forks taped to her fingers in her first appearance. She uses them to grab more food. She calls it "improvement of human being."

• Education Mama: Implied to be the case with her parents who apparently send her to music camp towards the end of each summer.
  Candy: There is no escape from music camp.
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: A Korean variant. Candy spoke two sentences of it in "Sock Opera", to hide how she wants to steal Gabe away from Mabel.
• Hair Antennae: Often shown with two strands of hair sticking up, which fits her quirky nature.
• Jerkass Ball: Played With in the episode Roadside Attraction. Although not being a Jerkass outright, she comes off as very shallow due to only starting to like Dipper after his sudden change in personality (even describing his previous self as “sweaty” at one point), and when she found out he was only using girls to get over Wendy, she tells Dipper he “only cares about himself” despite not really being able to blame Dipper in that situation due to him wanting to get over Wendy but not knowing how to talk to girls (plus, Candy wasn’t even supposed to be part of it). This even spreads to the other two girls, as they get mad at Dipper for what he did as well. And to top it all off, at the end of the episode it is revealed that Candy lost interest in Dipper after he fled from the spider “like a baby” even though literally everyone else did the same thing, including Candy herself.
• Lovable Nerd: She’s your stereotypical shy nerd character, which makes her seem very adorable, approachable, and lovable.
• Punny Name: Candy Chiu sounds like "candy chew."
• Shrinking Violet: Candy is shy and insecure, largely due to being put down by popular girls like Pacifica, though she's outgoing and unabashedly eccentric when with her friends.
• The Smart Girl: She's good at thinking on her feet, as shown in "Roadside Attraction" when she saved she, Grenda, and the Pines family from being either captured by Darlene or falling to their death.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: An Asian and Nerdy girl with large glasses.
• Spock Speak: Her English is stilted and slightly broken, nearing a monotone.
• Third-Person Person: She sometimes refers to herself in the third person.

Grenda

Grenda Grendinator

Voiced By: Carl Faruolo

---

• Acrofatic: Grenda performs a good Ceiling Cling in "Boyz Crazy". The art style makes it difficult to determine if she's really fat, or just muscular, however.
• Alliterative Name: Grenda Grendinator.
• Big Fun: Grenda is fairly rotund, but a good girl.

• Brawn Hilda: Played With. She generally comes across as this, but Marius finds her very attractive, in spite of Mabel and Candy's expectations.
• Characterization Marches On:
  • In her first appearance, Grenda speaks normally until Pacifica says she sounds like a wrestler. Ever since, all her lines have been shouted.
  • 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 Wrestler in All of Us.
• Cross-Dressing Voice: Grenda is voiced by a man, and it's what allows her to do a Druidic chant.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Grenda's first speaking line is rather quiet and lacks her trademark growl. From then on, she has No Indoor Voice.
• Fat Best Friend: Grenda to Candy and Mabel.
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Grenda loves cute boys, pop music, and unicorns as much as Mabel does, but she's an aggressive fighter with a temper, too.
• Gonky Femme: Despite her masculine appearance, she acts as girly as her friends most of the time.
• Huge School Girl: Obviously.
• Improbable Weapon User: Grenda is shown wielding an armchair in one commercial.
• Larynx Dissonance: Grenda. Lampshaded in show. Apparently she sounded a bit like Pacifica before her voice changed.
• Long-Distance Relationship: Grenda and Marius via phone calling.
• No Guy Wants an Amazon: In "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Candy and Mabel leave Grenda out of their attempts to flirt with a young Austrian baron due to this trope seeming to be in effect. Subverted when Grenda's aggressive style of flirting ends up winning the Baron over.
• No Indoor Voice: Grenda has a habit of screaming rather loudly.
• Official Couple: Grenda and Marius begin a relationship with each other.
• Rags to Riches: Grenda ends up having an Austrian baron as a boyfriend.
• Repetitive Name: Grenda Grendinator
• Shoulder Pet: Grenda's pet iguana, who's always on her shoulder whenever it's onscreen.
• Stout Strength: She is bulky and very strong.
• Super-Strength: Grenda can use a full-sized armchair as a practical weapon and headbutt boulders into rubble.
• Third-Person Person: Occasionally speaks this way, usually when talking about what she's doing.

Wendy's Friends

Robbie Stacey Valentino

Robbie Stacey Valentino

"Yeah, I got some new, super tight jeans; thought she might want to check them out."

Voiced By: T.J. Miller

A friend of Wendy's, and a former rival of Dipper's for her affection. He is currently dating Tambry. He represents the stitched heart on the Zodiac.

---

• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: His parents are incredibly cheerful and upbeat, albeit with a morbid sense of humor befitting their jobs as funeral directors.
• Bad Liar: Manipulative, certainly, but he's terrible at actual deception.
  Robbie: So I was attacked by this magic kung-fu guy that was throwing, like, balls of FIRE at me... [Proudly] I kicked his butt, though.
  Blind Ivan: [Clearly exasperated] Robbie, speak HONESTLY.
  Robbie: [Ashamed] ...I was saved by a 12-year-old.
  • 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.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Tambry. Even before Mabel brought out the love potion, you could tell there was something there.
• Birds of a Feather: In "The Love God", he ends up in a relationship with Tambry, a girl just as gloomy as he is.
• Break the Haughty: His appearances in the first season collectively amount to this, and culminate in Wendy finally dumping him after he tries brainwashing her into staying with him.
  • In the Season 2 finale, he comments that after the events he suffered during Weirdmaggedon, his poseur dark outlook on life is now legitimate.
  Robbie: I think I'm dark and tortured for reals now.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: A rare platonic example with him and Mabel in "The Love God": He is the Brooding Boy (a moody and snarky Emo Teen) to Mabel's Gentle Girl (a cheerful, optimistic and friendly Nice Girl who sees the best in everyone).
• Card-Carrying Jerkass: In "The Love God", he notably isn't displeased when Mabel tells him that she once thought of him as a creepy jerk and the "human version of rat poison".
• Crazy Jealous Guy: Probably why he picks on Dipper so much for liking Wendy.
• The Dandy: 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 "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.
  • In Dipper's and Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun!, Mabel writes about Robbie, "He wears more makeup than I do!".
• Dartboard of Hate: Has one in his room with Dipper's picture on it, with "Die Dipper Die" written next to it.
• Dirty Coward: His immediate reaction to seeing his friends get attacked by ghosts in "The Inconveniencing" was to flee and save his own skin.
• Early-Bird Cameo: He was first shown in a photo as one of the suspects in "Headhunters".
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Has some of the palest skin in the cast, possibly even rivaling Gideon.
• Embarrassing Middle Name: Robbie Stacey Valentino.
• Emo Teen: He meets all criteria of the stereotype: Dark clothing, makeup, and he's in a band. Furthermore, the creators state that after the breakup he's been taking angsty selfies in the cemetery (one such example seen in "Into the Bunker"), and he has angsty poetry written on the walls of his room.
• Enfant Terrible: "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 "The 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.
• Everyone Has Standards: He's generally seen as a Jerkass, especially towards Dipper. Despite this, he couldn't bring himself to hit the latter, even when Dipper told him to.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble: The Melancholic.
• Gag Nose: Has the third longest nose, after Deputy Durland, and Old Man McGucket.
• Gender-Blender Name: His middle name, Stacey, can be a boy's name, but it's uncommon.
• Good Parents: As opposed to his grumpy and jerkish personality his parents are actually very loving and cheerful, especially jarring given that they work as funeral directors.
• Goth: See Emo Teen. Mabel refers to him as "gothy".
• Guyliner: Robbie is seen wearing some in the poster for his band, Robbie V and the Tombstones.
  "It's eye paint for men."
• Heel–Face Brainwashing: Robbie is a much different person ever since Mabel used a love potion on him and Tambry. 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.
  • Subverted by Gravity Falls: Journal 3, which reveals the love potion only works for a few hours, meaning Robbie's kinder demeanour and feelings for Tambry are genuine on his part, the potion just giving him the push he needed.
• Hidden Depths: "The Time Traveler's Pig" does a good job of showing him as a nervous teen trying to admit his feelings to someone he likes.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: Underneath all that dickish behavior, there is a lonely boy who just wants to be loved.
  • "Gideon Rises" shows him genuinely upset that Wendy dumped him. He's a little obsessive and he definitely deserves it, but...
  • Furthered in "The Love God" where after starting to date Tambry, he starts to become nicer, even thanking Mabel for hooking them up.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: 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 "Eureka!" Moment 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.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: While he tries to act like he's the coolest guy around, his ego is easily bruised. He's also insecure enough to see the twelve-year-old Dipper as an actual threat to his relationship with Wendy.
• Jerkass: To Dipper, big time. Who wastes his energy antagonizing a child just because the kid likes his girlfriend?
  • Wendy's not safe from it either, given that he resorted to Mind-Control Music.
  • He's this in general. He was belittling Dipper well before he figured out about his crush on Wendy, once helped himself to a chunk of Mabel's cotton candy without asking, referred to Soos as "Big Dude" in such a way that Soos took it as a jab about his weight, and his relationship with Wendy had at least one occurrence of him standing her up on a date - not to mention Wendy's exasperation at his generally abrasive and dishonest personality.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: His memories of "Fight Fighters" were completely erased by the Society of the Blind Eye.
• Laser-Guided Karma: He used mind controlling music to manipulate Wendy into dating him while Mabel used a love potion to make him date Tambry.
• Lean and Mean: Is skinny and a huge jerk to Dipper.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The Feminine Boy to Wendy's Masculine Girl; he's a melodramatic Dandy and she's an athletic Ladette.
• Mind-Control Music: Uses this on Wendy so she won't break up with him in "Boyz Crazy".
• Never My Fault: Blames Dipper for his break up with Wendy in "The Love God", yet seems to not realize a good chunk of that was from his own selfishness. By the end of the series, while 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.
• Occidental Otaku: Dipper's and Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun! reveals he enjoys drawing in manga/anime style (an example of which◊ is shown in "The Love God), and a shuriken is one of the items thrown at his Dartboard of Hate.
• Odd Friendship: With Mabel. The two of them make friends by the end of "The Love God", after Robbie expresses his appreciation to Mabel for her hooking him up with Tambry. A scrapped animated Polaroid was supposed to play in the credits of the series finale that shows Mabel painting Robbie's nails. Robbie is a pessimistic Jerkass (at least initially) who wears dark clothes and is quite moody, whereas Mabel is an optimistic All-Loving Heroine who wears bright clothes and is almost always smiling.
• Official Couple: With Tambry after the events of "The Love God".
• Phoneaholic Teenager: Implied. Clearly not to the same extent as Tambry, but Dipper mentions that Robbie posts a "really annoying" amount of status updates, and during "Weirdmageddon", Wendy states that he would have avoided being captured by Bill Cipher in the cemetery, had he not have stopped to take a selfie.
• The Rockstar: He may aspire to be this. He plays lead guitar in a rock band called Robbie V. and the Tombstones and is shown to own a band van.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: To Dipper. And also vice-versa oddly enough. He feels threatened by Dipper and Wendy's friendship and while Dipper is naive to think to think their friendship could be more than that, Robbie is ridiculously insecure to consider him a rival.
  • An earlier start to their rivalry may have been "The Inconveniencing" where Robbie takes offence to Dipper pointing out how much his explosion graffiti looks like a muffin.
• Taken for Granite: Stated to have been captured by the Eye-Bats during "Weirdmageddon Part 1", in part due to his own narcissism and stupidity.
• Tall, Dark, and Snarky: Robbie is constantly sarcastic and makes a lot of jerkish comments, plus he's taller than Wendy and as dark as they come.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: He finally stops acting like a sad sack mourning Wendy breaking up with him by moving on and falling in love with Tambry in "The Love God" and also seemingly makes amends with Wendy and the rest of their gang.
• Too Dumb to Live: "Weirdmageddon Part 1" has Wendy reveal that Robbie could have escaped Bill's Eye-Bat army, but decided to take a selfie when all his friends had been captured, leading to them getting him too.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Time will tell if this change is permanent, but during the events of "The Love God", he starts a relationship with Tambry. As a result, he becomes much happier and more pleasant. He even sincerely thanks Mabel for helping him move on from his breakup with Wendy. Part of this, however, is due to the love potion that Mabel administered. He doesn't however, lose his angsty attitude. Given that he and his crew were kind enough to attend Dipper and Mabel's birthday celebration and even sign Dipper's farewell card, it's safe to say he has changed for the better.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: If the photos that we see of him as a young boy are anything to go by, Robbie used to be a happy, pleasant child. For some unexplained reason, however, his adolescence embittered him and turned him into the person he currently is.
  • "Blendin's Game" shows us that he was willing to randomly shoot people with a water gun when he was a kid, though, so some of the jerkassery was present even in the early years.
  • Furthermore, he does mention his views on his parents' happy demeanor in contrast to having such a grim job. Being grown up in a home and exposed to death frequently probably was the result of his dark emo state.
• When He Smiles: A genuine, happy one that is.
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child: He challenges Dipper to a fistfight, but can't seem to bring himself to actually hit him, even right after Dipper almost got him killed. For all intents and purposes, he might have been trying to just intimidate Dipper into backing off, or could have possibly been too shaken from the day's events to even bother.

Nate, Lee, Thompson and Tambry

Nate, Lee, Thompson, and Tambry

Left to right: Nate, Lee, Tambry, and Thompson.

Voiced By: Scott Menville (Nate, Season 1), Alex Hirsch (Nate, Season 2), Michael Rianda (Lee/Thompson), Jessica DiCicco (Tambry)

Wendy and Robbie's friends and local youth.

---

• Affectionate Nickname: Nate calls Tambry, "Tambers", though Tambry herself isn't very fond of it. Interestingly enough, Tambry isn't bothered if Robbie calls her Tambers.
• Ambiguously Brown: Nate and Tambry both have darker skin than their friends, but their ethnicities haven't been confirmed.
• Butt-Monkey: Thompson is generally not given a whole lot of respect, and tends to be the butt of the others' jokes and the first one assigned an unpleasant task. Anytime something bad happening to him, his friends usually egg him on from the sidelines without helping, even if it's their fault. In "The Love God" Thompson states he actively invokes this status, and had been deliberately letting them make fun of him for years to keep the group united. It seems to work, given his public humiliation ended up bringing his friends back together.
• Cool Big Bro: In "The Love God", Nate and Lee have formed a bond with Dipper.
• Creator Cameo: Lee and Thompson are voiced by Michael Rianda, a former writer and creative director for the show; while Alex Hirsch voiced Nate in Season 2.
• Desperately Craves Affection: Thompson's only friends are in the teen group, so he'll do anything for their approval.
• Delinquent Hair: 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.
• Emo Teen: While not quite as apparent as Robbie, Tambry seems to be fairly downbeat compared to the others, with her design seeming reminiscent of a Scene Girl. It's probably what makes them work when they get together.
• Extreme Doormat: Thompson, as suggested above. Particularly in "The Love God", where it's revealed that he's been the group's doormat for years since he wouldn't have any friends otherwise.
• Flat Character: While Robbie and Wendy have had prominent roles, the rest of the teens have only had a major part in "The Inconveniencing", and otherwise have little characterization outside of common teen stereotypes. Season two gave them more development, mainly in "The Love God".
• Four-Temperament Ensemble: Lee and Nate are sanguine, Thompson is melancholic (choleric while on the job), and Tambry is phlegmatic.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: Lee and Nate seem to be closest to each other compared to the rest of the group. It's most apparent in "The Love God" where Lee becomes upset about Nate telling Robbie and not him about his crush on Tambry.
• Hidden Depths: 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).
• Hypocrite: He'll ban entire families from the theater for sneaking in snacks, but if it means acceptance from his peers, Thompson's not above becoming a condiment mule.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Thompson to a rather depressing extent as seen in "The Love God".
• Last-Name Basis: Thompson.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Downplayed with Lee, who has long blond hair and is kinda cute.
• Official Couple: Tambry becomes one with Robbie as of "The Love God".
• Punch-Clock Villain: Implied with Thompson. His authoritarian side shown when being a theater manager is only part of his job: off the clock he's a nice and shy guy that wouldn't hurt a fly.
• Phoneaholic Teenager: Tambry is always on her phone, snapping pictures, using social networks and of course texting. It gets to the point that looking up for a second is considered ground breaking. If her younger self's shirt in "Blendin's Game" is any indication, she's had a fascination with phones her whole life. However, as of "The Love God", she may be slowly growing out of this now that she's in a relationship with Robbie and has someone she can care about more than her phone.
• Recurring Extra: Often seen in the background or given minor roles.
• Satellite Love Interest: Downplayed with Tambry after she and Robbie become a couple. Although she retains most of her characterization, the only real development she gets is "is in a relationship with Robbie".
• Taken for Granite: Captured by Eye-Bats during the events of "Weirdmageddon Part 1."
• Teens Are Monsters: Averted. They're snarky, subject each other to a lot of good-natured ribbing, dare each other to do stupid things, play pranks, love mischief, etc.—but it's all in good fun, and they never intend to seriously harm anyone. The most serious kind of trouble any of them ever get up to is graffitiing here and there, and maybe some drinking, as a party at Tambry's house is advertised with a flyer reading, "No photos better end up online!"
  • Their debut episode "The Inconveniencing" can be seen as a Take That! to this trope. The abandoned convenience store Dusk 2 Dawn is haunted by the ghosts of Ma and Pa Duskerton, its former owners who didn't like teenagers hanging around the store when they were alive, "with their boomy boxes and disrespectful short pants", so they banned them. However, the teens retaliated... by playing incredibly tame rap music with lyrics like "Homework's whack, and so are rules! Tuckin' in your shirt's for fools!", and dancing in the parking lot. Additionally, the "offenses" that Tambry, Thompson, Lee, and Nate get taken hostage for are texting, playing video games, being sarcastic, and yelling.
• Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity: Wendy and Tambry. Wendy, who's a tomboy that wears flannels and likes to act like One of the Boys, is a heroic Nice Girl. Tambry on the other hand is a downbeat and apathetic Phoneaholic Teenager who wears a skirt and spends all her time texting. Downplayed though in that Tambry isn't necessarily a bad person. She's just your typical phone-obsessed teenage girl who isn't as overtly heroic or well-meaning as Wendy.
• Those Two Guys: Lee and Nate.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: "Mabel's Scrapbook" shows that Thompson can be more than the Butt-Monkey for his friends' amusement.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Wendy and Tambry, respectively. While not immediately obvious, Wendy wears flannels and likes to act like One of the Boys while Tambry wears a skirt, dyes her hair and spends almost all of her time texting. Becomes more apparent when we see the two of them in kindergarten, where Wendy has her hair in pigtails and wears overalls while Tambry has longer hair and is dressed in bright colors with flowers on them.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Lee and Nate in "The Love God," who both split up in a blind rage upon learning Tambry and Robbie are dating. But they eventually got back together in the end. Nate's rage and his refusal to speak to Lee when he gets angered at him in return for not sharing this personal issue with him is partially justified, as he was afraid to confide to Lee about his feelings for Tambry out of fear of ridicule, while Lee was being inconsiderate to that and only cared that Nate never spoke to him about this before and only to Robbie, so out of the two, it's really Lee who really Took a Level in Jerkass. As for Nate, while it's understandable, to be outright inconsiderate about unleashing your anger to a twelve-year old child trying to ease the tensions and ignoring the pleas of a lonely Butt-Monkey who doesn't want to be alone and the fact he spent all his money and watch to get him tickets, but then you declined out of your selfish reasons (and then punching his mailbox against his pleas not to) is still kind of mean-spirited, this is also attributed to Lee.
• True Companions: Played with, they all get angry and split up after Tambry and Robbie start dating for various reasons, and Thompson reveals he has to work at keeping the group together, but their reason for getting back together and forgiving one another is pretty small.
• When She Smiles: Tambry is usually shown with an apathetic frown on her face. After getting together with Robbie in "The Love God", however, we see her smile several times. It's rather adorable.
• Wild Teen Party: Tambry throwing one is alluded to (but not shown) in "Summerween," when Robbie and Wendy say that they are going to a party at Tambry's house while her parents are out of town.

Pacifica Elise Northwest

Pacifica Elise Northwest

"Just so you all know, if I die, I'm suing all of you."

Voiced By: Jackie Buscarino

The most popular girl in Gravity Falls, and great-great-granddaughter of the apparent town hero Nathaniel Northwest. She represents the llama on the Zodiac.

---

• The Ace: 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. 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.
• Action Girl: Shows she has promise in "The Golf War" and "Northwest Mansion Mystery".
• Action Survivor: Nevertheless, she's more able at keeping herself alive when facing the supernatural than actually fighting it. She's also one of the few citizens who manages to avoid being captured by Bill and is part of Stan's army.
• All Girls Like Ponies: In "Weirdmageddon 3" she is seen reading a magazine called "Pony Fancy". When Preston Northwest is forced to sell their mansion to uphold their family's wealth, Priscilla tearfully informs her daughter that she will only be able to keep one pony from now on - much to Pacifica's dismay.
• Alpha Bitch: The most popular girl in Gravity Falls, despite coming across as thoroughly unpleasant. Sheds this after Character Development.
• Animal Motif: She is associated with the llama in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", which is notable as the llama is an Arc Symbol found on Cipher's wheel.
• Arch-Enemy: Dipper considers her to be Mabel's, and eventually, so does Mabel. Cools down in "The Golf War", though.
• Ascended Extra: She has become a relatively popular character, which Alex Hirsch didn't expect because she's such a terror compared to Mabel. She began getting further character development in Season 2, possibly because of this.
• The Atoner: "Our family name is broken, and I'm gonna fix it!"
• Back for the Finale: Is seen with her parents in "Weirdmageddon". Appears again in "Weirdmageddon 2" and "Weirdmageddon 3".
• Badass Adorable: Once her more favorable traits surface, Pacifica proves that she can step up to the plate and help out on mysteries when she needs to do so.
• Badass Pacifist: In "Northwest Mansion Mystery". After she and Dipper spend more than half of the episode trying to capture and exorcise the ghost haunting Northwest Manor, Pacifica ends up granting it peace and fulfilling her ancestor's broken promise by allowing the common folk into her family's fancy party.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: Is briefly implied to be cruel to the titular pig in "The Time Traveler's Pig".
• Being Evil Sucks: Pacifica realizes this the hard way after discovering that her entire family have always been liars, cheaters, and sociopaths. After this, she's willing to put an end to her family's legacy.
• Berserk Button:
  • People, especially Mabel, outdoing her at anything.
  • Being called a stereotype.
  • Being accused of dyeing her hair.
• Big, Screwed-Up Family: Oh yes.
• Blue Blood: Her great-great grandfather founded Gravity Falls. Except he didn't.
• Break the Haughty: 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.
  • Basically the reason Mabel wants to beat her in "The Golf War".
  • Finally happens completely in "Northwest Mansion Mystery". 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 Villainous BSoD), not even caring that she'll probably die in the ghost's rampage until Dipper snaps her out of it.
• Broken Ace: The only reason why she acts like an Alpha Bitch is to please her parents, and they wanted to mold her into something worse.
• Broken Bird: Underneath all her haughtiness and smugness lies a scared little girl who's spent years being bullied and molded by her parents into something she honestly doesn't want to be. As she shows in the few moments the veil slips, she's really quite broken.
  • In "Weirdmageddon Part 3", she is the most cynical and aggressive in the group because both of her parents were captured.
• Brutal Honesty: Out anyone in her family, she's known for this. She makes no apologies for any of her opinions, good or ill, and has no problem letting her complaints known to Mabel especially when Mabel offered her one of her sweaters.
• The Cameo: Can be seen walking with her parents in "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future".
• Cerebus Retcon: Her stuck-up and pompous attitude is the result of heavily implied parental abuse. We also learn that her parents basically treat her like a trained animal or servant.
• Character Development:
  • In Season 2, Pacifica starts showing more kindness towards others and a willingness to disobey her parents' controlling nature.
  • Throughout the episode "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Pacifica begins dropping her regular speech pattern which had always been present in the previous episodes, further showing character development.
  • It's pretty clear that she still has her head on straight, even calling her dad out for trying to negotiate with Bill, something that's idiotic and outright insane.
  • To top it that all off, the finale shows she's willing to rescue even those she deems undeserving.
• Characterization Marches On: She enters the show as a one-note villain for Mabel in Season 1. By Season 2, she goes through a lot of change (mostly brought about by humiliation) and gets a reasonable Freudian Excuse for the way she acts. When the facade of her pompousness finally breaks, it breaks HARD.
• Closet Geek: She's a level 100 DeathSlayer in the fictional first-person shooter game Bloodcraft: Overdeath. She also enjoys deep-fried foods, and is secretly good at puns.
• Competition Freak: It may look like Pacifica is obsessed with winning and showing off that she has the skills to do so, but it's more because she's afraid of losing and the consequences and having to face her parents' wrath, because to them, all competition is a big deal to their family. The first thing her dad tells her is don't lose, and that made her squirm.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Pacifica was routinely emotionally abused by her parents. They even used the Pavlovian experiment to control her. As a result, she grew up to be a Broken Bird and Broken Ace with hidden insecurity issues.
• Dartboard of Hate: One of the cameras in "Gideon Rises" shows her using one with a photo of Mabel on it.
• Deep-Fried Whatever: Her profile reveals her actual favorite food is "deep-fried anything".
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Opens up when she realizes hanging out with Mabel is fun, and even more so when Dipper helps with the haunting in her house.
• Despair Event Horizon: Upon finding out about her family history, she has a Villainous BSoD and possibly even considers suicide by allowing the ghost to find her (by flashing her light from the hidden room) and kill her in order to end the bloodline, but she is comforted and reassured by Dipper before the ghost can do so.
• Dye Hard: In-Universe, Dipper seems to think so. She doesn't like him suggesting this.
  • Mabel also seems to think so, given that she calls her a "bleach blonde stereotype" and in side materials pointed out that both of her parents were brunettes.
    • However, Gravity Falls: Lost Legends shows her as a young child with the blonde hair, so the real answer is still up for debate. Although her natural aversion to lying (despite the skill coming naturally) does point toward it not being this trope.
• Enemy Mine: With Dipper against the Lumberjack Ghost in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", 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.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Although she's more of a brat than evil, 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 (even though she did cheat once in "Double Dipper"). Despite finding their actions so despicable, she still suffers a Villainous BSoD when she assumes the same of herself.
• Everyone Loves Blondes: Blonde-haired and the most popular girl in town. Notably, she is the only blonde of her Girl Posse in which she is the Alpha Bitch.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: In Season 2, when she starts to rebel against her parents' conditioning, her bangs gain a slight part.
• Extreme Doormat: To her parents. She stops rebelling against them as soon as they ring a bell, like she's a dog bound to obey her masters at the drop of a hat. She eventually breaks this pattern and allows herself to be who she is inside.
• Fallen Princess: 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.
• False Friend: 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 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.
• The Fashionista: "The Golf War" has her on the front page of the local newspaper declaring V-necks the look of the season.
• Fatal Flaw: 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, 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.
• Flat Character: Alex Hirsch has said himself that Pacifica was originally not meant to have any character depth and was just there to get on Mabel's nerves. He did, however, say that even she would have some development in Season 2.
  • Part of this development ironically included her prior Flat Character status Lampshaded by Mabel and serving as Pacifica's Berserk Button that she took rather personally.
  Mabel: You walking, one-dimensional, bleach-blonde valley girl stereotype!
  • The rest of the development is that after being rescued by Mabel and teaming up with her against the Lillputtians, she comes to find that hanging with her is actually pretty fun even when she didn't win the golf game, which is a direct contrast to her first appearance, in which she mocked Mabel's attitude of having fun instead of playing to win.
  • She gets even more development in "Northwest Mansion Mystery," where we learn that her haughty demeanor is the result of fear of her Abusive Parents.
• Fiction500: She and her family are the richest folk in Gravity Falls and have enough of a reputation for the most powerful, influential people in the world to show up at their parties.
• Fire-Forged Friends: How Pacifica ends up friends, or at least friendly, with the Pines twins.
  • 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 Enemy Mine, she and Dipper seem to have reached this status by "Northwest Mansion Mystery" after they team up against a lumberjack ghost and Pacifica acknowledges her family's bad history, thanks to Dipper.
• Freudian Excuse:
  • Her parents would rather go to a party than stay and cheer on their daughter in a mini golf match, and Mr. Northwest's idea of words of encouragement is "Don't lose."
  • On top of that, her parents have done nothing to teach her how to interact with others except raise her to keep up appearances. For example, the word "sharing" is completely foreign to her. (No, that's Not Hyperbole; she doesn't even know the right way to pronounce it.)
  • And, of course, let's not forget the heavily-implied child abuse she suffers from her parents. They did teach her to obey at the sound of a bell.
• Frivolous Lawsuit: Parodied in "The Golf War" when she threatens to sue the Lilliputtians after they call her a "dumb hugeling", and again in "Weirdmageddon Part 3" when she grumbles that if she dies, she's suing everyone.
• Gamer Chick: Pacifica's profile mentions that her "secret hobby" is that she's a Level 100 DeathSlayer in the FPS game Bloodcraft: Overdeath with the gamer handle "PLATINUMPAZ".
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: At first glance, she's a stereotypical Alpha Bitch and full-on Girly Girl; she loves ponies, beauty pageants, and is stated by Stan to wear a heavy amount of make-up. But she's also apparently a level 100 DeathSlayer in a fictional FPS game called ''Bloodcraft: Overdeath'', and is quite capable of being an Action Girl when necessary.
• Godzilla Threshold: She'd never want anything to do with Dipper and Mabel unless something serious really happens that she can't handle. She even lampshades it after Dipper begrudgingly asks for three invitations to her family's party:
  Pacifica: You're just lucky I'm desperate.
• Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Her usual outfit is colored purple.
• Grew a Spine: In the climax of "Northwest Mansion Mystery" when she manages to resist her Abusive Parents and makes her own decision to fix their family name.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: During "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Pacifica starts being nicer and ultimately fulfills this trope.
• Hartman Hips: Pacifica has huge hips for her age and they're highlighted in many of her outfits.
• Hate Sink: In season 1, she never thinks of anyone other than herself and is needlessly cruel to Mabel. She does, however, get Character Development in season 2, while the Hate Sink position ends up going to her parents.
• Heel–Face Turn: 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.
• Heel Realization: Gets one in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", 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.
• Hidden Depths:
  • A legitimately skilled mini-golfer with a global rank and has- had a gold-medal winning trainer.
  • She gets so much more in "Northwest Mansion Mystery". She shows a desire to embrace her own preferences over what her parents have chosen for her, only being kept from doing so by her own fear of them. Not to mention that when she discovers just how twisted her family history really is, she is disgusted by it.
  • According to Alex Hirsch, "Pacifica is a very insecure person."
  • An Easter egg from Lost Legends reveals Pacifica is a skilled player of an online shooter called Bloodcraft: Overdeath, has a weakness for puns, and secretly loves deep-fried foods.
• I Am Not My Father: Or in her case, her entire family.
• Implied Love Interest: At this point, what with Dipper mostly getting over Wendy, as well as their Ship Tease in "Northwest Mansion Mystery" and supplementary works, she's the closest thing Dipper has to a Love Interest.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: Alex Hirsch reveals that Pacifica is actually a very insecure person. Lost Legends expands on this by showing that her parents' emotional abuse of her included her mother teaching her from a young age that beauty is everything and that people always judge others by the cover.
  Priscilla: (Reading young Pacifica a bedtime story) And the ugly duckling never made any friends, because his face was weird. The end.
  Pacifica: Wait, aren't there more pages?
  Priscilla: (Smiling while tearing out the rest of the pages) Nope! Enjoy your beauty sleep- you've got a pageant tomorrow!
• Ironic Name: At first. Pacifica means "peaceful" and pre-Character Development Pacifica was a very confrontational person. Becomes meaningful after her development in "Northwest Mansion Mystery".
• It's All About Me: 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.
  Pacifica: Now who wants to hear more about me?
• Jerkass: Invoked. 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.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: What she truly is. Pacifica is truly disgusted over her family's dark past and vows to restore honor to their family name. Even the lumberjack ghost (that swore vengeance on her family) stated that she was different from the rest.
• Laser-Guided Karma: 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 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.
• Laugh of Love: In a Ship Tease moment with Dipper, they laugh together after capturing the ghost, and she then hugs him. Happens again later while they trash her parents' favorite carpet.
• Little Miss Badass: In "Weirdmageddon 3", where she risks her life during a rescue mission into Bill Cipher's lair.
• Little Miss Snarker: Pacifica is quick to get lippy. In "Northwest Mansion Mystery", it's shown she can even go back and forth with the likes of Dipper.
• Living MacGuffin: We find out exactly why she's important in the finale: she's one of the Chosen Ten who can defeat Bill.
• The Load: She goes back and forth with this anytime she finds herself involved in the twin's missions, such as in "The Golf War" and "Northwest Mansion Mystery". On one hand, she doesn't initially lift a finger on anything, not to mention her tendency to insult Dipper and/or Mabel. On the other hand, she does rise to the occasion when it really matters, and ends up accomplishing what needs to be done.
• Lovable Alpha Bitch: Through character development and more focus on her "parents" in Season 2, Pacifica moves into this trope, becoming considerably nicer to Dipper and Mabel while still remaining pretty vain and haughty.
• Makeup Is Evil: Despite being a preteen, she's always wearing dark purple eyeshadow (and possibly more), which is pretty blatantly meant to indicate excessive care about her appearance.
  Stan: Is it legal for a child to wear that much makeup?
• Manipulative Bitch: Downplayed. In her debut appearance she tries this, but proves not to be very good at it, so afterward just sticks to solving her problems with money. Full-on manipulation (i.e., lying and cheating) however, is beneath her.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Her name is a pun on the "Pacific Northwest" region of America, a region containing Oregon, the state in which the show is based and where creator Alex Hirsch spent his summers.
  • "Pacifica" is a Spanish/Portuguese word that translates to "someone that brings peace" and she was the one to cease the conflict between the Northwest family and the poor people of Gravity Falls. She's also sworn to fix her family's name.
• Noblewoman's Laugh: While not exactly annoying or booming, she has the tendency to raise her wrist to her mouth as she laughs.
• Ojou: Richest girl in town.
• Pet the Dog:
  • At the end of "The Golf War".
    And Mabel, I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I had fun.
  • Pacifica gains a healthy amount of respect for Dipper in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", not to mention that she saves his life at least a few times and fulfilled her ancestor's promise to the Lumberjack Ghost, something no other Northwest ever did.
  • To top it all off, she bought and wrapped presents for Dipper and Mabel, and signed Dipper's farewell card.
• Pink Is Feminine: Her favorite color is hot pink, despite purple being her signature color.
  • She could have just been saying hot pink to keep up appearances. We never actually see her wear it except in the one short about colors.
• Princess in Rags: Inverted. 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.
• Punny Name: A play on the Pacific Northwest region of the United States where Oregon is located.
• Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: Defied. Pacifica knows her parents are bad, but doesn't think her parents deserve a fate of being cast in stone by Bill, despite the fact that her father got himself into that mess.
• Rescue Romance: Downplayed to Ship Tease, but Pacifica is much nicer to Dipper after he saves her from the Lumberjack ghost, even wanting him to stay afterwards.
• Rich Bitch: Her family is extremely wealthy, which leads into...
• Sarcastic Devotee: In "Weirdmageddon 3", Pacifica spends much of her time snarking, but she still pulls her weight and remains loyal to her friends.
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Says about as much in "The Golf War", stating that her family was able to use their wealth to cover up their less-than-noble heritage, not to mention buying a spot on the front page of the local newspaper to spite the Pines family.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: In "Northwest Mansion Mystery", she ignores her father's order not open the gates, so that the ghost's victims can return to normal.
• Ship Tease: With Dipper in "Northwest Mansion Mystery". Not helped at all by Alex Hirsch's deliberately vague but provoking answers to questions regarding the nature of their relationship along with the balanced comments about the two's relationship during Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets 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. 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.
• Silence Is Golden: Her relationship with her parents was explained by her reaction towards the ringing of a bell.
• Sitcom Archnemesis: To Mabel, though after "The Golf War" that might be moving towards friends, or at the very least more respectful rivals. She's more or less pulled a complete Heel–Face Turn on this trope as of "Northwest Mansion Mystery" 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.
• Spoiled Brat: The usual kind, though not at the level of Gideon.
• Stepford Smiler: Well, a cocky smile, Type A. It turns out she's not treated very well by her parents in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", and is in fact insecure and thinks lowly of herself once she finds out about what jerkasses her family and ancestors have been.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Beneath her persona lies a lost, sad and confused girl manipulated by her family and her legacy.
• The Rival: Was initially this to Mabel, the two would commonly compete in a variety of activities.
• Token Good Teammate: Eventually becomes one for the Northwest family.
• Took a Level in Badass:
  • Pacifica learns to stand up to her abusive, controlling parents.
  • She starts off as a Spoiled Brat who can't stand to get dirty. During "Weirdmageddon", she has become a full on Action Survivor — complete with tattered clothing and a battle cry, and who even risks her life to save her unworthy parents.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: In "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Pacifica begins to become happier after befriending Dipper and at the end of "Weirdmageddon Part 3", she became cheerful again during Dipper and Mabels birthday party.
• Took a Level in Cynic: 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 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. 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.
• Took a Level in Kindness: At first, she was nothing but 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 possibly something worse. Thankfully, she finds a Morality Pet in Dipper, which leads to her discovering hard truths she never knew about, and Dipper believing in her enough to give her a second chance.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Mabel's Tomboy. Pacifica is a lady-like Alpha Bitch (eventually Lovable Alpha Bitch) who's repulsed by the idea of eating in a car, whereas Mabel is an unapologetic goofball who has no qualms about chowing down on an old taco pulled out from behind a car seat. Pacifica is also a Fashionista who's stated to wear a lot of make-up, while Mabel isn't as fixated on looks. Mabel is also a very rough-and-tumble Girly Bruiser who looks forward to adventure, while Pacifica (despite being a capable Action Girl when necessary) seems to view adventuring and fighting purely as a means to an end.
• Town Girls: The vain Alpha Bitch (later Lovable Alpha Bitch) Femme to Wendy's athletic, axe-wielding, Ladette-ish Butch and Mabel's hardy, adventurous Girly Bruiser Neither.
• Tragic Villain: 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. 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.
• Trophy Child: 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 conditioning her to obey when a bell is rung, scolding her for small mistakes, and disregarding her personal wants in favor of their own.
  Preston: Oh, and whatever happens, just remember one thing. You're a Northwest. Don't lose.
• Tsundere: Her way of being nice. She's clearly trying, but she's still a little rough while doing so (like calling Soos a "servant" even when she's giving him a genuine compliment). Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets makes her even more of one, as she keeps trying to act egotistically superior to the Pines twins like she used to but keeps slipping and exposing or even outright admitting that she "doesn't totally hate them" (an understatement as far as Dipper is concerned.) She shows more of this in "Weirdmageddon 3", accepting Mabel's llama sweater while saying "Fine, I'll wear it, but I won't like it!", plus insulting Mabel's fashion sense earlier, but at the end not only attending Dipper and Mabel's birthday, but getting them presents and going through the trouble of gift-wrapping them herself as well as signing a farewell card for Dipper. Also, she was the only one who kept wearing Mabel's sweater on the day of the battle, despite her previous statement about it.
• Unknown Rival: To Mabel in "Double Dipper", but Mabel wises up in "Irrational Treasure" and returns the Arch-Enemy sentiment.
• Upper-Class Equestrian: Very wealthy, and owns a number of horses, whom she deeply loves. Following her family losing the majority of their cash in the finale thanks to her father's greed and cruelty finally catching up with him, she is visibly distraught to discover she can only keep one.
• Uptown Girl: Pacifica, who is the daughter of the richest family in Gravity Falls, has a lot of Ship Tease with the middle class boy Dipper, to the point of being an Implied Love Interest.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: A family portrait in the mansion depicts a younger Pacifica with a Mabel-like goofy smile.
• Valley Girl: Her spoiled demeanor can make her come off as this.
• Vanity Is Feminine: An Alpha Bitch (later Lovable Alpha Bitch) who loves her make-up and clothes, and is implied to be something of a Fashionista.
• Villainous BSoD: After discovering her family's terrible history and the curse brought about by it, she drops her snooty demeanor (for the most part) and becomes a lot more friendly towards Dipper and company.
• Well, Excuse Me, Princess!: Her relationship with Dipper has shades of this in "Northwest Mansion Mystery". For the first half of the episode, they argue and exchange catty behavior while trying to rid Northwest Manor of a homicidal ghost. However, once the ghost is dealt with, their opinions of each other change and they eventually become friends.
• When She Smiles: A kind one that is.
• White Sheep: In season 2, she finds out her family has long history of being terrible villains. Pacifica is devastated to learn of their history and decides to work at fixing it.
• Worthy Opponent: While she spent most of her time trying to be better than Mabel, or anyone for that matter, she seems to have more respect for Dipper's skills. If anything, Dipper is perhaps the first person she considered as her equal. It shows in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", as she placed more emphasis on wanting Dipper to help or for Dipper to stay at the party.

Gorney

Gorney

"Twik-owr-tweet! My name is Gorney."

Voiced By: Grey DeLisle

A little kid that shows up on Summerween only to get eaten by the Summerween Trickster.

---

• Back for the Finale: Is seen lying in a cot in the Mystery Shack refugee camp in the Grand Finale.
• The Cameo: Briefly shows up at the party in "Scary-oke".
• Eaten Alive: As the end of the episode shows, he was alive the entire time after being devoured by the Trickster.
• Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Most noticable when he says "Twik-owr-tweet!", and later when he cheerfully exclaims "I've been twaumatized!" after being freed from the Summerween Trickster.
• Face Death with Dignity: All he does as he faces his doom at the hands of the Trickster is cry for any witnesses to remember him. Making it even funnier when he survives.
• Flat Character: Has very few lines due to not having much screen time.
• Red Shirt: He literally is eaten by the Summerween Trickster seconds after he appears onscreen. Subverted in that he doesn't actually die. Since the Trickster is just made of candy, Gorney emerges from the candy at the end none the worse for wear, though he does say he's been traumatized.
• Remember the New Guy?: Parodied. As he is eaten he shouts, "Remember me!" but doesn't play a big part in the story after that.

Gabe Bensen

Gabe Bensen

"Really? People used to call me 'Puppet Crazy Gabe!"

Voiced By: Jorma Taccone

A local puppeteer who takes his craft very seriously.

---

• Camp Straight: If it weren't for the fact he shows some interest in Mabel, he could easily be considered Ambiguously Gay due to his stereotypically effeminate mannerisms and tone of voice.
• Chick Magnet: Mabel, Candy, and Grenda fall head over heels for him.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Very, very passionate about and obsessed with puppets — to the point of kissing them as if they were living lovers. Even Mabel suddenly realizes she likely dodged a bullet there.
• Companion Cube: Treats his puppets as if they were alive. Including making out with them.
• Jerkass: Even before ultimately rejecting Mabel, Gabe displays a lot of red flags. He rather ruthlessly manipulates Mabel into putting on her show, keeps Moving the Goalposts to make her meet his expectations for a puppet enthusiast, and outright says he will be interested in a date IF her show ends well.
• Hand Puppet: Is always shown to have at least one hand puppet on, and wears two whenever he can.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Travels around on roller blades for the express purpose of drying his hair after showering, followed by a gratuitous Hair Flip.
• Non-Standard Character Design: While most everyone in the show has black dots for pupils, Gabe noticeably has blue dots for pupils.

• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Not to the extent of Gideon, but for someone supposed to be around Mabel's age, he sure tends to use those puppets to express lust a lot.
• Vague Age: He doesn't look quite as young as the twins, and Mabel thinks he's old enough to drive. Granted, she also thought biscotti was a type of car, so she may not be the most accurate on that forefront. The fact that Gabe flirts with Mabel would imply they are similar ages. (In a storyboarded scene that didn't make it into the episode, he refers to himself as thirteen.)
• Younger Than They Look: When first introduced, he could be mistaken for a young adult, though his short stature shows he's most likely somewhere around Mabel's age.

• 555: Marius' phone number is 555-0176.
• Amazon Chaser: Ironically, he ends up falling for Grenda due to her aggressive flirting style.
• Beauty Equals Goodness: His appearance and mannerisms fit this trope.
• Blue Blood: A baron. Artistic License applies here, as in Real Life, aristocracy of all kind is outlawed in Austria ever since the end of World War I, though the titles still exist in Germany.
• Chick Magnet: In his debut appearance, Marius manages to win the attraction of Mabel, Candy, and Grenda.
• Disappeared Dad: A Freeze-Frame Bonus that talks about him mentions that his father died when Marius was a toddler, resulting in him inheriting everything.
• Fiction 500: The repeated use of the word "rich" in his guestbook profile suggests this.
• Insecure Love Interest: Implied. When asking out Grenda, he thinks she's out of his league.
• Long-Distance Relationship: Grenda and Marius via phone calling.
• Long Haired Prettyboy: Has brown shoulder-length hair and is attractive enough to cause a fight between three close friends.
• Meaningful Name: Fittingly for the richest boy at his school (as said in his guestbook profile), his last name is Fundshauser.
• Nice Guy: A perfect gentleman with a very sweet crush on Grenda.
• Official Couple: Grenda and Marius begin a relationship with each other.
• Requisite Royal Regalia: Is visibly dressed like a noble, with a fancy coat, Classy Cravat, and epaulets. The cravat and the epaulets are particularly justified in this case because, according to his guestbook profile, he inherited a factory that makes them.
• The Von Trope Family: Appropriate for a baron, he has this participle as part of his name.
