* AmbiguouslyEvil: Hide-Behind certainly ''looks'' very creepy, and has the decidedly unsettling habit of always hiding behind people, never letting itself be seen, but "creepy" doesn't always equate to "evil," and it never does anything especially harmful, outside of maybe freaking a couple people out.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If Mabel hadn't intervened with her home video in "The Mailbox", Dipper could've learned everything about the journals' author. Something of a fate-driven ForegoneConclusion, though, as it would've spoiled a big plot point of the then-upcoming Season 2.
