* JerkassBall: PlayedWith in the episode [[Recap/GravityFallsS2E16RoadsideAttraction 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, [[{{Hypocrite}} including Candy herself]].
* LovableNerd: She’s your stereotypical shy nerd character, but this makes her seem very adorable, approachable, and lovable.

* GonkyFemme: Despite her masculine appearance, she acts as girly as her friends most of the time.

* CardCarryingVillain: Downplayed. He's not a villain, just slightly antagonistic, though he isn't at all displeased in "The Love God" when Mabel tells him that she once thought of him as a creepy jerk and the "human version of rat poison."

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Underneath all that [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkassness]], there is a lonely boy who just wants to be loved.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: 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.

* TookALevelInKindness: Time will tell if this change is permanent, but during the events of "The Love God", he [[spoiler: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]].

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ScottMenville (Nate), Creator/MichaelRianda (Lee/Thompson), Creator/JessicaDiCicco (Tambry)

* CreatorCameo: Lee and Thompson are voiced by Michael Rianda, a former writer and creative director for the show.

* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: Wendy and Tambry. Wendy is a tomboy who wears flannels and likes to act like OneOfTheBoys while Tambry is a downbeat and apathetic PhoneaholicTeenager 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 [[PhoneaholicTeenager phone-obsessed teenage girl]], is all.

-->'''Robbie:'''I think I'm dark and tortured for ''reals'' now.

[[folder:Robbie Stacey Valentino]]
[[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robbie_0.png]]
[[caption-width-right:148:[-"Yeah, I got some new, super tight jeans; thought she might want to check them out."-]]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TJMiller

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.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: His parents are incredibly cheerful and upbeat, albeit with a morbid sense of humor befitting their jobs as funeral directors.
* BadLiar: Manipulative, certainly, but he's terrible at actual deception.
-->'''Robbie:''' So [[Recap/GravityFallsS1E10FightFighters I was attacked by this magic kung-fu guy]] that was throwing, like, balls of FIRE at me... ''[Proudly]'' I kicked his butt, though.\\
[[spoiler:'''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.
* BelligerentSexualTension: [[spoiler:With Tambry. Even before Mabel brought out the love potion, you could tell there was ''something'' there.]]
* 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]].
** 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.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: A rare platonic example with him and Mabel in "The Love God": He is the Brooding Boy (a moody and snarky EmoTeen) to Mabel's Gentle Girl (a cheerful, optimistic and friendly NiceGirl who sees the best in everyone).
* CardCarryingVillain: Downplayed. He's not a villain, just slightly antagonistic, though he isn't at all displeased in "The Love God" when Mabel tells him that she once thought of him as a creepy jerk and the "human version of rat poison."
* CrazyJealousGuy: Probably why he picks on Dipper so much for liking Wendy.
* 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.
** In ''Dipper's and Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun!'', Mabel writes about Robbie, "He wears more makeup than I do!".
* DartboardOfHate: Has one in his room with Dipper's picture on it, with "Die Dipper Die" written next to it.
* DirtyCoward: His immediate reaction to seeing his friends get attacked by ghosts in "The Inconveniencing" was to flee and save his own skin.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He was first shown in a photo as one of the suspects in "Headhunters".
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Has some of the palest skin in the cast, possibly even rivaling Gideon.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Robbie Stacey Valentino.
* EmoTeen: He meets all criteria of the stereotype: Dark clothing, makeup, and he's in a band. Furthermore, the creators state that [[spoiler: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.
* 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 "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.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's generally seen as a {{Jerkass}}, especially towards Dipper. Despite this, he [[WouldntHurtAChild couldn't bring himself to hit the latter]], even when Dipper told him to.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic.
* GagNose: Has the third longest nose, after Deputy Durland, and Old Man [=McGucket=].
* GenderBlenderName: His middle name, Stacey, can be a boy's name, but it's uncommon.
* GoodParents: 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 EmoTeen. 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."
* 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.]]
** Subverted by ''Literature/GravityFallsJournal3'', which reveals [[spoiler: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.]]
* HiddenDepths: "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.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Underneath all that [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkassness]], there is a lonely boy who just wants to be loved.
** "Gideon Rises" shows him genuinely upset that [[spoiler:Wendy dumped him]]. He's a little obsessive and he ''definitely'' deserves it, but...
** Furthered in "The 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.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: 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 MindControlMusic.
** He's this in general. He was belittling Dipper [[{{Recap/GravityFallsS1E5TheInconveniencing}} well]] [[{{Recap/GravityFallsS1E7DoubleDipper}} 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 [[BigFun 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.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:His memories of "Fight Fighters" were completely erased by the Society of the Blind Eye.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: He used mind controlling music to manipulate Wendy into dating him while Mabel used a love potion to make him date Tambry.
* LeanAndMean: Is skinny and a huge jerk to Dipper.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Feminine Boy to Wendy's Masculine Girl; he's a melodramatic [[TheDandy Dandy]] and she's an athletic [[TheLadette Ladette]].
* MindControlMusic: Uses this on Wendy so she won't break up with him in "Boyz Crazy".
* NeverMyFault: Blames Dipper for his [[spoiler: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 [[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.
* OccidentalOtaku: ''Dipper's and Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun!'' reveals he enjoys drawing in manga[=/=]anime style ([[http://33.media.tumblr.com/401fb700f321987a80270f1618cd32d2/tumblr_nfkkcfGkr41s9na66o1_500.jpg an example of which]] is shown in "The Love God), and a shuriken is one of the items thrown at his DartboardOfHate.
* OddFriendship: With Mabel. The two of them make friends by the end of "The Love God", after Robbie expresses his appreciation to Mabel for her [[spoiler:hooking him up with Tambry]]. A scrapped animated Polaroid was supposed to play in the credits of the series finale that shows [[https://youtu.be/5MY9dnCMLKE 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 AllLovingHeroine who wears bright clothes and is almost always smiling.
* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With Tambry after the events of "The Love God"]].
* 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.
* TheRockstar: 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.
* SitcomArchNemesis: 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.
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Stated to have been captured by the Eye-Bats during "Weirdmageddon Part 1", in part due to his own narcissism and stupidity.]]
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Robbie is constantly sarcastic and makes a lot of jerkish comments, plus he's taller than Wendy and as dark as they come.
* ThrowTheDogABone: He finally stops acting like a sad sack mourning Wendy breaking up with him by [[spoiler: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]].
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:"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.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: Time will tell if this change is permanent, but during the events of "The Love God", he [[spoiler: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]].
* UsedToBeASweetKid: 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.
* WhenHeSmiles: A genuine, happy one that is.
* WouldntHurtAChild: 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.

[[folder:Pacifica Elise Northwest]]
[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pacifica_northwest_appearance.png]]
[[caption-width-right:180:"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.

* 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.]]
* ActionGirl: Shows she has promise in "The Golf War" and "Northwest Mansion Mystery".
* ActionSurvivor: Nevertheless, she's more able at keeping herself alive when facing the supernatural than actually fighting it. [[spoiler:She's also one of the few citizens who manages to avoid being captured by Bill and is part of Stan's army.]]
* AllGirlsLikePonies: In "Weirdmageddon 3" she is seen reading a magazine called "Pony Fancy". [[spoiler: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.]]
* AlphaBitch: The most popular girl in Gravity Falls, despite coming across as thoroughly unpleasant. Sheds this after CharacterDevelopment.
* AnimalMotif: She is associated with the llama in "Northwest Mansion Mystery", which is notable as the llama is an ArcSymbol found on Cipher's wheel.
* ArchEnemy: Dipper considers her to be Mabel's, and eventually, so does Mabel. Cools down in "The Golf War", though.
* 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.
* TheAtoner: "[[BadassBoast Our family name is broken, and I'm gonna fix it!]]"
* BackForTheFinale: Is seen with her parents in "Weirdmageddon". [[spoiler:Appears again in "Weirdmageddon 2" and "Weirdmageddon 3".]]
* BadassAdorable: [[CharacterDevelopment 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.
* BadassPacifist: 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, [[spoiler:Pacifica ends up granting it peace and fulfilling her ancestor's broken promise by allowing the common folk into her family's fancy party]].
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Is briefly implied to be cruel to the titular pig in "The Time Traveler's Pig".
* BeingEvilSucks: Pacifica realizes this the hard way after discovering that [[spoiler:her entire family have always been liars, cheaters, and sociopaths]]. After this, she's willing to put an end to [[spoiler:her family's legacy]].
* BerserkButton:
** People, ''especially'' Mabel, outdoing her at anything.
** Being called a stereotype.
** Being accused of dyeing her hair.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: [[spoiler:Oh yes.]]
* BlueBlood: Her great-great grandfather founded Gravity Falls. [[spoiler:Except he didn't.]]
* 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.]]
** Basically the reason Mabel wants to beat her in "The Golf War".
** Finally happens completely in [[spoiler:"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 VillainousBSOD), not even caring that she'll probably die in the ghost's rampage until Dipper snaps her out of it]].
* BrokenAce: The only reason why she acts like an AlphaBitch is to please her parents, and they wanted to mold her into something worse.
* BrokenBird: 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.
* BrutalHonesty: 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.
* 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 treat her like a trained animal or servant]].
* CharacterDevelopment:
** 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 [[VocalEvolution dropping her]] [[ValleyGirl 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.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: 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 [[BreakTheHaughty humiliation]]) and gets a reasonable FreudianExcuse for the way she acts. [[spoiler:When the facade of her pompousness finally breaks, it breaks HARD.]]
* ClosetGeek: 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.
* CompetitionFreak: 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.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: 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 BrokenBird and BrokenAce with hidden insecurity issues.
* DartboardOfHate: One of the cameras in "Gideon Rises" shows her using one with a photo of Mabel on it.
* DeepFriedWhatever: [[https://partners.disney.com/shmeb-you-unlocked/book-4 Her profile]] reveals her actual favorite food is "deep-fried anything".
* DefrostingIceQueen: Opens up when she realizes hanging out with Mabel is fun, and even more so when Dipper helps with the haunting in her house.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Upon finding out about her family history, she has a VillainousBSOD 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.]]
* DyeHard: InUniverse, Dipper seems to think so. [[BerserkButton 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, ''ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends'' 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.
* EnemyMine: 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.
* 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]].
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Blonde-haired and the most popular girl in town. Notably, she is the only [[BlondeBrunetteRedhead blonde]] of her GirlPosse in which she is the AlphaBitch.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler:In Season 2, when she starts to rebel against her parents' conditioning, her bangs gain a slight part.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: 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. [[spoiler:She eventually breaks this pattern and allows herself to be who she is inside.]]
* 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]].
* TheFashionista: "The Golf War" has her on the front page of the local newspaper declaring V-necks the look of the season.
* 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]].
* FlatCharacter: 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 FlatCharacter status {{Lampshaded}} by Mabel and serving as Pacifica's BerserkButton 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 [[spoiler:fear of her AbusiveParents]].
* {{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.
* FireForgedFriends: 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 EnemyMine, 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.
* FreudianExcuse:
** 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 NotHyperbole; she doesn't even know the right way to pronounce it.)
** And, of course, let's not forget the heavily-implied [[AbusiveParents child abuse]] she suffers from her parents. They did teach her to obey at the sound of a bell.
* FrivolousLawsuit: 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.
* GamerChick: [[https://partners.disney.com/shmeb-you-unlocked/book-4 Pacifica's profile]] mentions that her "secret hobby" is that she's a Level 100 [=DeathSlayer=] in the FPS game ''[[UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000 Bloodcraft: Overdeath]]'' with the gamer handle "PLATINUMPAZ".
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: At first glance, she's a stereotypical AlphaBitch and full-on GirlyGirl; she loves [[AllGirlsLikePonies ponies]], beauty pageants, and is stated by Stan to [[VanityIsFeminine wear a heavy amount of make-up]]. But she's also apparently [[GamerChick a level 100 [=DeathSlayer=] in a fictional FPS game called ''Bloodcraft: Overdeath'']], and is quite capable of being an ActionGirl when necessary.
* GodzillaThreshold: 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.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her usual outfit is colored purple.
* GrewASpine: In the climax of "Northwest Mansion Mystery" when she manages to resist her AbusiveParents and makes her own decision to fix their family name.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: During "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Pacifica starts being nicer and ultimately fulfills this trope.
* HartmanHips: Pacifica has huge hips for her age and they're highlighted in many of her outfits.
* 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 [[AbusiveParents 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 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.
* HiddenDepths:
** A legitimately skilled mini-golfer with a global rank and [[BlackComedy has-]] ''[[BlackComedy 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 [[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]]]].
* IAmNotMyFather: Or in her case, her entire family.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: At this point, what with Dipper mostly getting over Wendy, as well as their ShipTease in "Northwest Mansion Mystery" and [[Literature/GravityFallsJournal3 supplementary]] [[ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends works]], she's the closest thing Dipper has to a LoveInterest.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: 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:''' ([[StepfordSmiler Smiling]] while tearing out the rest of the pages) Nope! Enjoy your beauty sleep- you've got a pageant tomorrow!
* IronicName: At first. Pacifica means "peaceful" and pre-CharacterDevelopment Pacifica was a very ''confrontational'' person. Becomes [[MeaningfulName meaningful]] after her development in "Northwest Mansion Mystery".
* 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.
-->'''Pacifica:''' Now who wants to hear more about me?
* {{Jerkass}}: {{Invoked|Trope}}. 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.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: 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.
* 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.
* LaughOfLove: In a ShipTease 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.
* LittleMissBadass: [[spoiler:In "Weirdmageddon 3", where she risks her life during a rescue mission into Bill Cipher's lair.]]
* LittleMissSnarker: 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.
* LivingMacGuffin: We find out exactly why she's important in the finale: [[spoiler:she's one of the Chosen Ten who can defeat Bill]].
* TheLoad: 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.
* LovableAlphaBitch: 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.
* MakeupIsEvil: 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?
* ManipulativeBitch: 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.
* MeaningfulName:
** 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 [[spoiler:cease the conflict between the Northwest family and the poor people of Gravity Falls. She's also sworn to fix her family's name]].
* NoblewomansLaugh: 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.
* PetTheDog:
** 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, [[spoiler:she bought and wrapped presents for Dipper and Mabel, and signed Dipper's farewell card]].
* PinkIsFeminine: 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.
* 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.]]
* PunnyName: A play on the Pacific Northwest region of the United States where Oregon is located.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: {{Defied|trope}}. 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]].
* RescueRomance: Downplayed to ShipTease, but Pacifica is much nicer to [[spoiler:Dipper]] after he saves her from the Lumberjack ghost, even wanting him to stay afterwards.
* RichBitch: Her family is extremely wealthy, which leads into...
* SarcasticDevotee: In "Weirdmageddon 3", Pacifica spends much of her time snarking, but she still pulls her weight and remains loyal to her friends.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Says about as much in "The Golf War", stating that her family was able to use their wealth to cover up their [[Recap/GravityFallsS1E8IrrationalTreasure less-than-noble heritage]], not to mention buying a spot on the front page of the local newspaper to spite the Pines family.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:In "Northwest Mansion Mystery", she ignores her father's order not open the gates, so that the ghost's victims can return to normal.]]
* 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.]]
* SilenceIsGolden: Her relationship with her parents was explained by her reaction towards the ringing of a bell.
* 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 Mystery" [[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]].
* SpoiledBrat: The usual kind, though not at the level of Gideon.
* StepfordSmiler: 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.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Beneath her persona lies a lost, sad and confused girl manipulated by her family and her legacy.
* TheRival: Was initially this to Mabel, the two would commonly compete in a variety of activities.
* TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:Eventually becomes one for the Northwest family.]]
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Pacifica learns to stand up to her abusive, controlling parents.
** 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 at 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 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.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: 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 MoralityPet 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.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The GirlyGirl to Mabel's {{Tomboy}}. Pacifica is a lady-like AlphaBitch (eventually LovableAlphaBitch) 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 [[TheFashionista Fashionista]] who's stated to [[VanityIsFeminine wear a lot of make-up]], while Mabel isn't as fixated on looks. Mabel is also a very rough-and-tumble GirlyBruiser who looks forward to adventure, while Pacifica (despite being a capable ActionGirl when necessary) seems to view adventuring and fighting purely as a means to an end.
* TownGirls: The vain AlphaBitch (later LovableAlphaBitch) Femme to Wendy's athletic, axe-wielding, [[TheLadette Ladette-ish]] Butch and Mabel's hardy, adventurous GirlyBruiser Neither.
* 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]].
-->'''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). ''VideoGame/GravityFallsLegendOfTheGnomeGemulets'' 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" ([[ShipTease an understatement as far as Dipper is concerned.]]) [[spoiler: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.]]
* UnknownRival: To Mabel in "Double Dipper", but Mabel wises up in "Irrational Treasure" and returns the ArchEnemy sentiment.
* UpperClassEquestrian: Very wealthy, and owns a number of horses, whom she deeply loves. Following her family [[spoiler: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.
* UptownGirl: Pacifica, who is the daughter of the richest family in Gravity Falls, has a lot of ShipTease with the middle class boy [[spoiler:Dipper]], to the point of being an ImpliedLoveInterest.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: A family portrait in the mansion depicts a younger Pacifica with a Mabel-like goofy smile.
* ValleyGirl: Her spoiled demeanor can make her come off as this.
* VanityIsFeminine: An AlphaBitch (later LovableAlphaBitch) who loves her make-up and clothes, and is implied to be something of a [[TheFashionista Fashionista]].
* VillainousBSOD: [[spoiler: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.]]
* WellExcuseMePrincess: Her relationship with Dipper has shades of this in "Northwest Mansion Mystery". For the first half of the episode, they [[SnarkToSnarkCombat 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.
* WhenSheSmiles: A kind one that is.
* WhiteSheep: 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.
* WorthyOpponent: 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.

->'''Candy Voiced by:''' Niki Yang\\
'''Grenda Voiced by:''' Carl Faruolo

A pair of girls who befriend Mabel.

!!Tropes applying to both
* ActionGirl: 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".
* AudienceSurrogate: In the ending of "Weirdmageddon Part 3".
* BadassAdorable: Downplayed; they don't often play a major part in the conflicts, but the one time did, they proved to do quite well.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Candy's the Brains and Grenda's the Brawn to Mabel's Beauty.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: 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.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: 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).
* BigThinShortTrio: With Mabel; Grenda is the big one, Mabel is the thin one and Candy appears as the shortest of the trio.
* CuteBruiser : Both of them prove to be this in "Summerween".
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: [[spoiler:One of the townsfolk to actively stand up to Bill during the opening sequence of "Weirdmageddon Part 1".]]
* DropInCharacter: Following their first encounter with Mabel, they make frequent visits to the Mystery Shack often.
* FatAndSkinny: Grenda and Candy respectively.
* RedOniBlueOni: Grenda's the upfront, HotBlooded Red to Candy's demure, ShrinkingViolet.
* ShipperOnDeck:
** 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".
* ThoseTwoGirls: Are always seen together until ''Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons'', which features Grenda without Candy.
* TookALevelInJerkass: 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.
* TownGirls: Candy's the Neither and Grenda's the Butch to Mabel's Femme.

!!Tropes applying to Candy
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/candychiugravityfalls.png]]
----
* AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: 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.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: {{Downplayed}}. Candy was briefly attracted to Dipper in "Roadside Attraction" when he showed more confidence by hiding a HiddenHeartOfGold, but was upset by his philandering.
* AlliterativeName: '''C'''andy '''C'''hiu.
* AsianAndNerdy: 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 [[EducationMama academically strict parents]].
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: 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.
* BlushSticker: Has a pair on her cheeks similar to Mabel's.
%%* CannotTellAJoke
* {{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."
%%* TheCutie: In a rather odd way.
* EducationMama: 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.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: A Korean variant. Candy spoke two sentences of it in "Sock Opera", to hide how she wants to steal Gabe away from Mabel.
* HairAntennae: Often shown with two strands of hair sticking up, which fits her quirky nature.
* PunnyName: Candy Chiu sounds like "candy chew."
* ShrinkingViolet: 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.
* TheSmartGirl: She's good at thinking on her feet, as shown in "Roadside Attraction" when she saved she, Grenda, and the Pines family from being [[spoiler:either captured by Darlene or falling to their death]].
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: An AsianAndNerdy girl with large glasses.
* SpockSpeak: Her English is stilted and slightly broken, nearing a monotone.
* ThirdPersonPerson: She sometimes refers to herself in the third person.

* BackForTheFinale: Is seen lying in a cot in the Mystery Shack refugee camp in the GrandFinale.
* TheCameo: Briefly shows up at the party in "Scary-oke".
* EatenAlive: As the end of the episode shows, he was alive the entire time after being devoured by the Trickster.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Most noticable when he says "Twik-owr-tweet!", and later when he cheerfully exclaims [[HarmfulToMinors "I've been twaumatized!"]] after [[spoiler:being freed from the Summerween Trickster]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: All he does as he faces his doom at the hands of the Trickster is cry for any witnesses to remember him. [[spoiler:Making it even funnier when he survives.]]
* FlatCharacter: Has very few lines due to not having much screen time.
* RedShirt: He literally is eaten by the Summerween Trickster ''seconds'' after he appears onscreen. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} 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.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: {{Parodied|trope}}. As he is eaten he shouts, "Remember me!" but doesn't play a big part in the story after that.
