Jason Ritter Jason Morgan Ritter (born February 17, 1980) is an American actor. The son of actors John Ritter and Nancy Morgan, he is known for his work in television series such as ''Joan of Arcadia'' (2003–2005), ''Gravity Falls'' (2012–2016), '' Anot ...
) is the 12-year-old twin brother of Mabel, who was born 5 minutes after her. He possesses Journal 3, which he discovered in the woods and has helped him solve the mysteries of Gravity Falls. As an adventurer, Dipper has trouble sitting still and is always looking for riddles to solve, leaving him restless in mundane situations. His attention to detail seems helpful when solving mysteries, but others question his credibility. He is considered wise beyond his years and cannot wait to grow up and become a man. He is portrayed as goal-oriented and rooted in facts, and sometimes overthinks possible scenarios and obsessively makes lists, which also makes him more perceptive of the danger Gravity Falls faces. Between seasons, Dipper hosted a series titled "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained". It is revealed in one of the episodes that Dipper has a crush on Wendy. While he knows that he will never really be her boyfriend, this does not stop him from trying to please her. Another episode reveals that he likes bubblegum pop music. He got his nickname from a birthmark on his forehead shaped like the

) is the 12-year-old twin sister of Dipper, who was born 5 minutes before him. She is eccentric, energetic, and optimistic, and expresses herself through various colorful knitted sweaters, as well as her skills in arts and crafts. Her outgoing, curious personality often helps Dipper solve mysteries, though her silliness is often seen as a burden. Mabel enjoys preteen novels and seeks romance, as she once went on a date with Li'l Gideon, but broke it off after realizing he is dangerous and nearly killed Dipper. In the episode "Irrational Treasure", she is made an official U.S. congresswoman by the eighth-and-a-half president, Quentin Trembley, with a political platform of "legalize everything". She wins a pet pig in the episode "The Time Traveler's Pig" and names him Waddles. She also makes guest appearances in "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained", and has her own series titled "Mabel's Guide to Life". She is inspired by Alex Hirsch's twin sister, Ariel. * Stanley "Stan" Pines (voiced by

as an adult and Declan J. Krogman as a child) is the great-uncle of Dipper and Mabel, who is best characterized by his grumpyness, selfishness and abrasiveness. He has been going by the name Stanford Pines, the name of his older twin brother, but his real name is Stanley. He runs and lives in the Mystery Shack; a tourist trap billed as "the world's most bizarre museum". He is primarily a salesman, putting most of his effort into showmanship, and is eager to sell the Shack's knick-knacks, trinkets, and baubles for exorbitant prices in the gift store section. Because of his drive to make money, his methods of obtaining it are not always legal and frequently commits petty crimes, having a laundry list of crimes a mile long. When he's not making money, he's usually at home watching television. Stan usually wears a fez and carries around an 8-ball topped cane; he sometimes wears an eyepatch over his glasses. He frequently sends the twins on what they consider outrageous and unpredictable errands, but is protective and loving towards them. Despite his age, Stan is physically fit to the point of being able to fight back when threatened. Behind his vending machine, he has a hidden staircase to an unknown location, which the season 1 finale reveals contains a large hidden device powered by encrypted information in the three journals. Later, he collects all three after Li'l Gideon's arrest and after Dipper shows him Journal 3, but later returns it to him. "Not What He Seems" reveals he was attempting to retrieve his older twin brother Ford after he was stranded in another dimension. In the series finale, Stan sacrifices his memory to defeat Bill, but regains it after seeing Mabel's scrapbook. He is based on Alex Hirsch's grandfather Stan. * Jesus Alzamirano "Soos" Ramirez (voiced by

Wendy has stated that she had many boyfriends, including one ex-boyfriend whom she cannot remember breaking up with. Wendy is the oldest and tallest child in her family; her father is Manly Dan, one of the local lumberjacks and fishermen of Gravity Falls. Throughout the series, she proves herself to be her "father's daughter", having experience as a lumberjack, tremendous physical strength, and survival skills. Being a typical sociable and nonchalant teen, she has many friends around her age. Her boyfriend at the start of the series is Robbie, whom Dipper despises and sees as a rival until she breaks up with him. * Stanford Filbrick "Ford" Pines (also known as The Author, Grunkle Ford, and Great Uncle Ford as of "The Last Mabelcorn"; voiced by

"Not What He Seems" reveals that in 1982, he was transported into an alternate dimension through a portal underneath the Mystery Shack, which he was stranded in until Mabel reopened the portal. In "The Last Mabelcorn", he recounts his friendship with Bill Cipher and how he attempted to create a teleporter to enter his realm. In the present, after learning of Bill's plan to invade the mainstream dimension, he destroys the teleporter, but at the cost of a dimensional rift leaking out of it, which he contains. In "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future", Bill takes the body of Blendin Blandin, who then tricks Mabel into giving him the rift, which he then breaks the glass ball containing the rift, causing Weirdmageddon. In "Weirdmageddon Part 1", he attempts to defeat Bill, but is captured, petrified, and the journals destroyed. He is later freed and restored to normal. After Weirdmageddon, he tells Stan that he found remaining anomalies and offers him to go sailing around the world with him to find them, which Stan accepts. * Bill Cipher (voiced by

After accidentally entering the portal and glimpsing what was on the other side, he was so overcome with horror that he invented a machine to allow him to forget the experience. Over time, he founded the Society of the Blind Eye to protect Gravity Falls's inhabitants from its various monsters and anomalies by forcing them to forget their existence. Eventually, his overuse of the machine on his own mind drove him insane. Dipper and Mabel find the machine, along with the townspeople's memories, and he regains his sanity. In "Weirdmageddon Part 3: Take Back the Falls", he assists the Pines in saving Ford by transforming the Mystery Shack into a giant robotic mech. He and his son later move into the Northwest Mansion after earning millions by selling the patents of his inventions to the government after the events of Weirdmaggedon.

However, the true founder of Gravity Falls was Quentin Trembley, the eighth-and-a-half President of the United States. Pacifica is sarcastic and spoiled and is Mabel's primary rival, as she looks down on Mabel and thinks her eccentric personality is annoying and immature. She uses people's insecurities to manipulate them into doing what she wants and despises Mabel for standing up against her. She gets her comeuppance after Dipper reveals her family's prestige is built on a lie. In the episode "The Golf War", she befriends Mabel after they work together to thwart the Lilliputtians. "Northwest Mansion Mystery" shows that she is afraid of standing up to her parents and disappointing them. However, after learning what her family has done, she proves herself to be different from her family by defying her parents and opening up the Northwest Mansion gates to commoners. After the events of the episode, Pacifica and Dipper become friends. In "Weirdmageddon Part 3: Take Back the Falls", Pacifica takes refuge in the Mystery Shack along with several of the remaining un-petrified citizens of Gravity Falls and teams up with the Pines to defeat Bill.

) is a young boy who owns the "Tent of Telepathy", a successful competitor of the Mystery Shack and is recognizable by his Southern accent and white pompadour. He has a deep rivalry with Grunkle Stan that presumably started long before the beginning of the series. Despite the cutesy and charming personality he presents to others, in reality he is conniving, vicious, and willing to hurt or kill others to get his way; he even abused his parents, threatening his father and seemingly having reduced his mother to a nervous wreck some time ago. He also has an unhealthy obsession with Mabel, and his belief that Dipper and Stan are the only things keeping them apart prevents him from seeing that Mabel does not like him. He previously owned an amulet that endowed him with telekinesis, but Mabel destroyed it after he attempts to use it to kill Dipper. He also owns Journal 2, and as such seems to be one of the only residents who are fully aware of the mysteries and secrets of Gravity Falls. He seeks to gain possession of the Mystery Shack, saying it has 'a secret you couldn't possibly begin to imagine'. In the Season 1 finale, Stan reveals to the townspeople that Li'l Gideon's psychic ability is a ruse and that Li'l Gideon is a fraud. Li'l Gideon is arrested by Sheriff Blubs shortly thereafter, although he quickly managed to get his fellow inmates to follow him. In "Weirdmageddon Part 1", he and his fellow inmates escape from prison and are made Bill's police force and guardians of a prison bubble Mabel is put in. After attempting to capture Dipper, Wendy, and Soos, Dipper manages to convince Gideon that Mabel never loved him, and Gideon has a change of heart and decides to rebel against Bill. In "Weirdmageddon Part 3: Take Back the Falls", he is revealed to have been captured by Bill, trapped in a cage, and forced to dance for eternity, but is freed after he tells Dipper and Mabel how to restore the humanity of the citizens Bill petrified.

Robbie and Wendy are a couple until "Boyz Crazy", in which Dipper informs Wendy that the song Robbie wrote for her has a backmasked mind-controlling message, although Wendy is most upset that the song was not written for her. After the breakup, Robbie becomes depressed at losing her, though his attempts to win her back cause her to be annoyed at him.
