Mabel Pines is the female protagonist of the Gravity Falls series. Mabel is an energetic 12-year-old girl (she and her brother turn 13 at the end of the series finale; later 15 in Forever Sophomores) who is sent with her brother to spend her summer vacation in her great-uncle's tourist trap called the "Mystery Shack". She helps her brother Dipper as he endeavors to uncover the secrets of the fictional town of Gravity Falls and to find an explanation for the strange situations he experiences.
Appearance
Mabel is a short 15 year old girl, exactly one millimeter taller than Dipper. She has fair skin, brown eyes, pink blush spots on her cheeks, and long brown hair that reaches to her hips. He also has silver braces. Her outfit changes a lot in Gravity Falls, more often than other character. She often wears turtleneck sweaters of varying colors(usually, pink, green, light blue, yellow, red, purple, or other colors) with different symbol on it, along with a matching skirt(sometimes jeans or leggings) and headband. However, her signature, and most common outfit consists of a pink t-shirt underneath a fuchsia pink turtleneck sweater with a shooting star on it, a matching fuchsia headband, a purple mini-skirt, long white socks, and black ballet flats.
Despite being the only character on Gravity Falls who changes her outfit, Mabel keeps her primary outfit in Forever Sophomores. However, she does change her attire on a few occasions. Despite that, she will always switch back to her primary outfit after the end of said occasions:
- When she and Dipper help their mother clean the house at the beginning of "An Apologetic Vengeance", she wore a dark blue sweater with black leggings. But shortly after finishing, Mabel quickly switches back to her primary outfit, much to Dipper's confusion.
- When she goes to the Lion King play in "Oh, I Just Can't Wait for Spring Break", she wore a black sweater with a lion on it, a black undershirt, a blue headband, and a blue skirt underneath dark blue jeans, and brown shoes.
- During the Fairy World War Arc, she wore a lavender turtleneck sweater with a wand on it, a purple undershirt, a lavender headband, and an orange mini-skirt.
- During the Coastal Fusion Arc, she wore a light blue turtleneck sweater with the Retroville Coast Guard logo on it, a white undershirt, a light blue headband, and a navy blue mini-skirt.
- During the Karaoke Conflict Arc, she wore a green turtleneck sweater with a baby bottle on it, a yellow undershirt, a green headband, and a pink mini-skirt.
Personality
Mabel Pines is an energetic, optimistic and bouncy girl from Piedmont, California, forced to spend her summer together with her great uncle Stan in the fictional town of Gravity Falls, Oregon.She is accompanied by her twin brother Dipper Pines. Their parents aren't revealed in the show. She makes the best of every situation with a big, goofy smile and her variety of colorful sweaters and skirts. She is a self-proclaimed arts and crafts master, going so far as to make a wax figure of her uncle Stan with the leftover wax of a melted figure during the episode "Headhunters". She is actually growing to like Grunkle Stan and he likes her too, and is often protective. Mabel is boy-crazy and dislikes anyone who opposes her brother. She has a pet pig named Waddles who she won in the episode "The Time Traveler's Pig". Despite seeming as just being there for comic relief, Mabel is frequently instrumental in helping her brother solve the mysteries of Gravity Falls and played a pivotal role in all three of the fights that the twins have had against the main antagonist, Bill Cipher, to the point that Dipper says that he has no chance of defeating Bill without Mabel's help.
