Dipper's quirky, intuitive, creative, energetic, and optimistic twin sister. Mabel makes the best out of every situation with a big smile while also playfully annoying her brother.
Mabel is an optimistic, fun, energetic, bouncy, optimistic, hyperactive, enthusiastic and free-spirited girl who is full of spirit. She is an optimist who skips through life with a braces-filled smile and an assortment of extremely colorful knit sweaters. It is her outgoing personality and fearless curiosity that comes in handy when Dipper needs help solving a mystery, even if she isn't always aware of her silliness. Despite her cheerful attitude and ability to be able to look on the bright side, she can occasionally get her feelings hurt, especially by her rival, Pacifica Northwest. Mabel avoids lying and is a terrible liar, often blurting out whatever it is about which she is trying to lie. She is a preteen dreamer with a world filled with preteen novels (mostly about vampires), and her fixation on finding her one true love occasionally lands her in sticky situations which ultimately require her brother's help. Still, despite all the weirdness in Gravity Falls, Mabel is always a "glass-half-full" kind of girl. She is rarely angry or upset, and generally keeps a positive outlook. She is somewhat naive at times. Mabel is aware of her charm and cherishes her cuteness and beauty. However, she has a selfish side, particularly when it comes to boys with whom she's infatuated, even breaking promises made with friends in pursuit of her crush, as shown in "Sock Opera."
She generally has a high opinion of herself, considering herself "irresistible" to boys ("Tourist Trapped"), claiming that she does everything perfectly ("The Time Traveler's Pig"), and fully believing she is of "pure, perfect heart" ("The Last Mabelcorn"). She has also shown to be self-righteous in her decisions, which can be far from justified, or they may accidentally backfire in some way, such as shoving her brother in a closet with Wendy in "Into the Bunker" so that he could end his anxiety and admit his crush on Wendy Corduroy. This unintentionally endangers them when they encounter a dangerous creature. Her self-righteous nature also caused Wendy's and Dipper's friend group to temporarily break up after she had made Robbie Valentino and Tambry date each other in "The Love God." However, like her brother, Mabel has the best of intentions and she will always try to choose the right options for the happiness of herself

== Trivia ==
* The name Mabel means "lovable, dear" in Latin.
* Dipper and Mabel's middle names are their parents' first names.
* Mabel is based on Ariel Hirsch (Alex Hirsch's twin sister) who often wore very silly, vibrant and goofy sweaters, so Alex made sure Mabel had a different sweater in every episode. Ariel also was a huge fangirl, explaining where that part of Mabel's personality comes from.
** Mabel has a pet pig because, as a child, Ariel wanted a pig after the movie Babe: Pig in the City came out.
* Mabel was originally conceived to have headgear.
* According to Alex, Mabel is the most underrated character in the series.
* Mabel is 5 minutes older than her brother, which she brings up from time to time to infuse her status as an older twin.
* Mabel and Dipper have allergies that act up around the same time.
* Mabel has accidentally spray-painted her eyes multiple times.
* Whenever Mabel has nightmares, she meows herself back to sleep.
* Alex Hirsch said at the 2014 Comic-Con that Dipper and Mabel collect the items they discover on their adventures.
* After the events of "Gideon Rises," wherein Mabel uses her grappling hook to save herself and Dipper, she keeps it with her at all times. If Mabel is on screen and the grappling hook can't be seen, it's because she's hiding it in her sweater. 
* Mabel once fed baby birds with her mouth.
* Mabel went to the hospital once for eating scratch and sniff stickers.
* Mabel has been banned from a petting zoo for taping a traffic cone to a horse's head.
* Mabel has watched the anime movie "The Cranky Girl Who Did Chores in Spirit Town" 82 times.
* Mabel has been to the county jail with Dipper and Stan for making counterfeit money.
* Mabel was made an official US Congresswoman by Quentin Trembley. However, Washington D.C. refuses to acknowledge her as one.
* In the episode "The Deep End", Mabel claims that she has encountered a couple of vampires.
* In "Mabel's Scrapbook: Petting Zoo", Mabel says that Dipper and herself once won a dogsled race against a space lizard.
* According to Kristen Schaal, Mabel wants to become the president of the United States. She would have Waddles as her vice president, Dipper as her secretary of state, and Stan would be her secretary of defense.
* Mabel became pen pals with a pizza delivery man in the 60 seconds he was at the door.
* Mabel used to have a crush on "the guy from the 10-dollar bill" named Alexander Hamilton.
* In the Subway Kids Bags commercial, Mabel is not voiced by Kristen Schaal for unknown reasons.
* Mabel and Dipper are the only characters to appear in every episode of the series. Mabel is the only character to appear in every episode but not have a speaking role in every episode ("Weirdmageddon Part 1" is the only episode that she doesn't have any speaking lines).
* During the "ULTIMATE CROSSOVER FUNDRAISER!" charity live stream, where Alex Hirsch, Dana Terrace, Rebecca Sugar, and Ian Jones-Quartey drew and sang for The Trevor Project, when asked what Dipper and Mabel would be as Gems, they answered the following (and then did Stan's too):
** Mabel - Cherry Tugtupite. On her chest, where her heart would be.
** Dipper - Larimar. On his head, possibly in the shape of his birthmark.
** Stan - Pyrite (also known as fool's gold). Mirrored to Stan's tattoo on his back, which indicates vulnerability. This was actually suggested by the chat, which was wholeheartedly agreed upon by Hirsch and the others.
* In Rick and Morty's episode "The Rickshank Rickdemption" there is a Gravity Falls easter egg. In the Citadel of Ricks, two Morty's bear a striking resemblance to Mabel and Dipper. The Mabel-looking Morty appears again as Girl Morty in the mobile Pokemon parody video game Pocket Mortys. Her in-game description says "this Morty is the twin sister of Morty wearing a baseball cap. She can often be seen standing in the background making references to other shows." This Mabel-looking Morty made a cameo appearance in the Gravity Falls comic Gravity Falls: Lost Legends.
* According to Hirsch in Between the Pines, whenever Mabel is not on screen, she is most likely knitting the sweater she will wear in the next episode.
* Many of Mabel's stickers in the Dipper's and Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun! are the colors of the bisexual flag. Additionally, one of Mabel's stickers, located on the cover of her scrapbook, in the Mabel's Scrapbook shorts and Call Me Mabel music video is the same. As such, this has fueled fan speculation that Mabel is bisexual.
* Within Matt Braly's series Amphibia, the character of Frobo is given Mabel's iconic shooting star on his chassis during the events of "All In".
