Character History:

Mabel Lived a normal, easy life up until the summer before she turned thirteen, when she and her twin brother Dipper went to stay with their Great Uncle Stan for the summer. Things seemed normal at first, at least Mabel thought they did, right up until her brother found a creepy old journal and her first boyfriend turned out to be a bunch of gnomes looking for a queen. When she refused to marry said gnomes, they kidnapped her, and her brother had to help her escape their clutches (they could link together to create a mega gnome, it was pretty crazy). Luckily, with the help of a leaf blower, Mabel and Dipper came out on top, and realized that the sleepy little town of Gravity Falls Oregon wasn't as normal as it looked.

So after the whole gnome thing, their summer really started to heat up. Dipper and Mabel searched for a sea monster, so they could take a picture and win a thousand dollars. Only...it turned out to be Old Man McGucket in a giant robot. Mabel created a wax sculpture of her great uncle when they discovered a bunch of wax sculptures in a hidden room, but realized after wax stan was "murdered" that the wax sculptures were cursed, and came alive at night. Luckily, the twins figured out how to defeat them using hot objects and the sun.

Things took a turn for the unfortunate when Mabel and Dipper went to see child psychic Gideon Gleeful. His show was fun and he had a catchy tune, but he ended up obsessing over Mabel and peer pressured her into dating him. This did not a happy Mabel make, but she couldn't figure out how to break it off with him nicely, and worried that she would be stuck with him forever. She got Dipper to break up with Gideon for her, but Gideon went a little cuckoo bananas and tried to kill Dipper...Mabel got there just in time to intervene and save the day (and tell Gideon off).

Her next encounter with the supernatural was definitely 2spooky. When Dipper wanted to hang out with Wendy and her friends, Mabel ended up going along and they all broke into an abandoned convenience store! Mabel got high on smile dip, a banned candy, and didn't really have much plot importance until she was possessed by the old people spirits haunting the store. With everyone else trapped, because the ghosts hated teenagers, Dipper had to save everyone by doing an embarrassing dance. God bless the lamby dance.

Gravity Falls had it's very own pioneer day type deal, and Pacifica Northwest made Mabel feel bad for being the lovable goofball she is. So, Mabel decided she was going to be super serious from then on, which led to Mabel and Dipper going to find proof that the founder of Gravity Falls, Pacifica's great-grandfather, was actually a fraud. It wasn't through seriousness, but through Mabel's ridiculousness that they solved the case and discovered that the actual founder of Gravity Falls was Quentin Trembley, the most ridiculous president ever to be expunged from the history books. They almost got taken away by the police of Gravity Falls, because they now knew too much, but luckily Quentin used his authority to send the two officers on a vacation and let the twins off the hook.

The Mystery Shack held a really sketchy carnival! Mabel won a pig and Dipper tried to impress Wendy by winning her a stuffed animal, only to end up hurting her in the process. The twins stumbled upon a time traveler, and they stole his time machine (a tape measure) to go back and try to make things with Wendy go right. They eventually figured out how to fix the mess with Dipper and Wendy, but it was at the cost of Mabel's pig. After fighting, and realizing how much Waddles, the pig, meant to Mabel, Dipper decided to do the good thing and change things back to how they were before. The whole fiasco ended with the time traveler, Blendin Blandin, getting arrested by the time police. Whoops!

And then it was summerween! Gravity Falls likes Halloween so much, they celebrate it twice every year. The twins were excited to go trick or treating, because they always have the best twin costumes ever. Unfortunately, Wendy and Robbie invited him to a party (and made him feel like he was too old to go out trick or treating) and so he tried to bail on Mabel. At least, until he was forced to go when the summerween trickster--a monster made of unwanted summerween candy--threatened to eat them if they didn't collect enough candy by the end of the night. The twins succeeded, but Dipper messed up and pushed the wheelbarrow of candy into a ravine when he tried to hide it in some bushes, so he could act like he wasn't trick or treating. Mabel found out why Dipper had been acting sick and got mad, and the group got attacked by the summerween trickster. They almost lost, but were saved by soos, who ate the trickster from the inside out. Mabel admitted that she was upset with Dipper because they're growing up and only have so many Halloweens left. The two made up and everyone spent summerween night watching terrible horror movies.

Mabel tried to prove to her Great Uncle Stan that his business would run better if he was nicer to people and said please more, which resulted in a bet. If mabel could make more than stan over the weekend, mabel could be the boss and stan would have to sing an apology song. It sounded easy, but mabel quickly realized that being in charge is a lot harder than it looks. Everything went wrong, while stan was playing cash wheel to try and win big. Eventually, Mabel learned that she had to put her foot down, and together with dipper they worked to make enough money to fix the shack and beat Stan--who lost cash wheel because he didn't think of the word please when he needed it most.

Mabel's constant sleepovers eventually got on Dippers nerves, and he tried to find a way to get his own space. Which was made easier when another secret room was discovered. The twins got into a fight, and have to play favorites with stan to try and win the room. This was made more complicated by a carpet that could switch bodies. Shenanigans and mass, body-swapping chaos ensued, which lead to Dipper winning the room. The twins settle in, only to realize that neither one wanted their own room, and that it's kind of lonely when you're by yourself in a creepy old attic.

Grunkle Stan hated Waddles, and wanted to put the pig outside after he caused trouble in the mystery shack. Mabel refused to allow this, and when she went out to get a pig front pack, she made Stan promise he wouldn't put him outside. Which, of course, meant that Stan did let Waddles outside. Which was a terrible idea, because waddles got taken by a pterodactyl. Mabel was devastated when she found out, but believed Stan when he said the pterodactyl came into the house and stole waddles, even though he tried to fight it off. Needless to say, Mabel eventually learned the truth, when they went down into the mines to find the pterodactyl's nest. When she did, she was furious and swore she wouldn't talk to Stan ever again. Stan eventually realized the error of his ways and helped save waddles, which renewed Mabel's faith in him.

Gideon Gleeful made a return by summoning a demon, Bill Cipher, to get the password for Stan's safe, so he could get the deed for the mystery shack. Dipper and Mabel followed Bill into Stan's dreams to try and stop him. Dipper went through some personal crises and ended up thinking Stan hated him, which meant he wasn't there to help Mabel and co when they confronted Bill and tried to keep the password from him. Dipper got over it after talking to dream Stan, and realized that they could do anything they wanted while in Stan's dreamscape, because it was a dream. He went and joined up with Mabel--who was stuck being ugly, much to her dismay--and they all worked together to get Bill out of Stan's mind.

This seemed like it was a success, but even though his Bill plan failed, Gideon still got his hands on the deed, by blowing the safe up. Which meant he was the new owner of the mystery shack. He kicked everyone out, which meant the Pines family had to stay with Soos and his grandmother. Which was fine, except they had no money. They all tried to confront Gideon in front of a crowd, but failed because Gideon held too much sway over the people of Gravity falls. Which meant that the kids were going to be sent back to their parents. Only, Gideon discovered that he was still missing one of the three books, and he thought that Dipper had it. So, Gideon hopped into a giant, mechanical version of himself and chased after the twins. He fought them, tried to kidnap mabel, but was defeated when Dipper manned up and took him head on. Which nearly killed them all, but you know. It all ended well, and that's the important part. Especially since it meant Stan got the deed back! He also took gideon's journal 2 and confiscated the one Dipper had. This led to the reveal that he had not only had journal 1 the whole time, but some kind of big secret in the form of a giant, mysterious portal.

Dipper summoned the dead to try and prove to some secret agents that Gravity Falls really did have something wierd going on, which backfired because it meant that the Pines family had to fight off zombies, which they defeated by singing in three part harmony. Over the course of this fiasco, Dipper realized that the author of journal 3 had written some things in invisible ink, and then later dragged Mabel, Wendy and Soos to a weird bunker under a tree near where he first found the journal. Mabel discovered a note that Dipper had written for Wendy, that basically proclaimed his love for her, and asked Dipper about it. Dipper was being his usual Dipper self, so Mabel took this possible romance into her own hands and locked Dipper and Wendy in a 'closet' together. She refused to open the door until Dipper confessed, only Dipper and Wendy realized it wasn't a closet at all. In fact, there was a whole big area beyond it! They think they've found the author, but it was actually just a shapeshifter. Luckily, they beat the monster and froze it, but not before it told them that the author of the journals, the one Dipper was looking for, hadn't been himself in thirty years, and that bad things would end up Happening to Dipper probably. Super ominous. At least they got a mysterious laptop out of the deal?

All that heavy stuff got put off to the side for a little while, though, because the Pines family went out mini golfing after Mabel was one-upped by Pacifica again. Mabel excelled at mini golf, so when Pacifica beat her at it, Mabel challenged her to an after-hours, midnight re-match. Mabel ended up cheating, though, when she discovered little ball people who control the mini golf court. Mabel said she would decide which course was the best one in exchange for her help, which seemed like a smart plan at first, but everything went to hell when she favored the miner hole over he others a little. This led to Pacifica being almost murdered by tiny golf-ball people, and Mabel and Pacifica teaming up to fight them off and escape the golf course.

Mabel's new crush of the week was Gabe, a puppet enthusiast. This sudden crush resulted in Mabel promising to whip up a sock puppet rock opera in record time! Which didn't go over well with her brother, because she was supposed to be helping him figure out the laptops password so they could learn it's secrets and maybe find the author of journal 3. Mabel pushed this off in favor of impressing Gabe, and threw together a pretty amazing puppet show. Unfortunately, Dipper ended up accidentally letting Bill Cipher take over his body...which put Mabel into a tight spot. She was in the process of confronting Bill!Dipper, when Wonderland decided to haul her in.


Abilities/Special Powers: Mabel is a regular girl with no special powers! Unless you consider knitting and sticker collecting super powers.

Third-Person Sample:

She had been fighting a Bill controlled Dipper when it happened. He had been ranting about being an all powerful blah blah blah, and just being a big, huge jerk in general, and then...well, then Mabel found herself in Wonderland. At first, she's completely flabbergasted by the whole thing. Because it's like the world turned into an anime. Heck, she can actually picture Xyler and Craz frolicking through the checkerboard hills, toting her around like a princess...but wait. Why is she here? How did she even get here? She doesn't remember touching any weird genie lamps, and none of her sock puppets were cursed or anything. She made them all herself! So did Bill do it? Is that even a thing he's capable of? Maybe she should start paying attention to Dipper more...

Oh well, at least the area seems relatively harmless. It's actually kind of pretty! It's so pretty that Mabel kind of wishes Bill didn't have anything to do with her ending up there. How great would that be? Then she would be able to explore to her hearts content and have a grand old time. She could even drag Dipper along. He's not one for fairy tale princess stuff, but there are probably mysteries around that need solving, and he's a huge nerd for that kind of stuff.

...Man, she's all alone right now, isn't she?

All the good feelings the pretty scenery and amazing looking mansion give her leeches away pretty quickly after she realizes just how by herself she is. It's not that she doesn't like being alone at all, but this is a place she was probably sent to by a demonic triangle, and she doesn't even know if there's a way out. Or if anyone else is there.

"HELLOOOO!" Mabel calls, looking around. No one answers, though, so with one last look around she makes her way towards the mansion. Maybe there she'll find answers.


First-Person Sample:

Okay, so, the closets? Talk about cool. I can make anything I want! Not the super power I was expecting to have, but it's still kind of awesome.

I mean I'm, like, queen of the yarn hill right now, how is that not cool? I have all the wackiest colors, too. Flannel, shooting star, googly-eye...So I guess if anyone needs a sweater, hit me up, people! I'm queen of the sweaters.

Or queen of the yarn closets, I guess. It's a title in progress.
