Gravity Falls is an American animated comedy television series created by Alex Hirsch which follows city kids Dipper (voiced by Jason Ritter) and Mabel Pines (voiced by Kristen Schaal), who are sent to spend the summer with their eccentric Great Uncle Stan, aka Grunkle Stan (voiced by Hirsch), who runs a tourist trap called The Mystery Shack in a remote northwestern town where nothing is what it seems. With creatures in the forest, monsters in the lake and time travel a possibility, things get very interesting for the twins as they quickly realize they need each other, in order to unlock the secrets of the quirky and mysterious town.

Characters

Protagonists

Dipper is the 12 (13 at the end of the series) year-old twin brother of Mabel Pines and a curious boy who is in love with Wendy Corduroy. He is the pinetree in the Zodiac wheel. When Dipper first arrived in Gravity Falls, he was unsure about what to do, and thought that this summer would boring, but he was wrong. In the first episode, he finds a book, labelled Journal 3. This book changes his life forever, and he realises Gravity Falls isn't a normal town. Throughout the episodes he and his friends go on many different adventures together, and almost die a lot.

Mabel is the 12 (13 at the end of the series) year-old twin sister of Dipper Pines and spends most of the time having fun with her best friends Candy Chiu and Grenda. Did you know that out of the infinite timelines, the Dipper and Mabel who we see in the show are the only ones who didn't die somehow? Lucky, right?

Stanley Pines (also known as Stanford Pines or Stan Pines early in the series) is the CEO of the Mystery Shack (until Weirdmageddon III: Take Back the Falls) and is the great uncle of twins Dipper and Mabel Pines. He is also the twin brother of Stanford Filbrick Pines Ph.D, also known as the Author.

Soos is an awkward, lovable man-child (who works as the current owner of the Mystery Shack at the time of Weirdmageddon III: Take Back the Falls) and frequent sidekick of Dipper and Mabel on their various adventures. He is one of the main characters of Gravity Falls. He is the question mark on the Zodiac wheel.
