Mason Pines, better known as "Dipper" by his friends, is a character from Gravity Falls and is a main character in The Disney Club. He's a 12-year-old boy from Danville, USA that often joins her small gang of friends along with his twin sister Mabel on crazy adventures, often acting as the brains of the operation alongside fellow "nerd" Marcy Wu, using the information & skills he's learned from his Grunkle Ford's Journals to help himself and the others out of messy situations.

## Personality

Clever, curious, adventurous, brave, and rational all the things that are Dipper Pines. Like the majority of his friends, he has a strong desire to discover the mysteries of their world and has a lust for adventure, helped by all the stories he's heard about his Grunkle Ford and all of his adventures. A born adventurer at heart, he often finds it hard to sit still and is always looking for the next riddle to solve, although he can sometimes have a short temperament. His scrupulous attention to detail comes in handy when he is off figuring out puzzles in the gang's adventures or unraveling long-standing conspiracies, but sometimes his over-zealousness leaves others questioning his credibility. He's very wise beyond his years, and his refusal to sit still when there are puzzles to be solved often leaves him restless in everyday situations.

But he's certainly not without fault. He often gets very irritated when people think he is cute or adorable, and often tries to project a more grown-up and mature appearance to strangers. He's not, however, above acting like Mabel under "special" circumstances. He can also sometimes be selfish and is not above using the mysterious elements he and the gang finds to his advantage, but ultimately always does the right thing. Dipper has shown over time that he has become more confident in himself, has learned to have hope in the doubtful times, and become stronger when facing his enemies to stand up for what he believes in.

## Skills & Equipment

* Intelligence

Dipper is shown to possess an extremely high level of intelligence, being extremely skilled in puzzle solving, such as being able to complete complex math equations in a short amount of time. He is also known to be resourceful.

* Birthmark

Dipper has a birthmark on his forehead shaped like the Big Dipper constellation, hence his nickname, which he often hides under his bangs.

* Hand-to-Hand Combat

Even though Dipper is known to be weak, he is quite capable of defending himself when it comes to fights, knowing some basic hand-to-hand techniques, including getting into various sword duels.

* Grunkle Ford's Journals
* World Map

* Hoverboard

Created by Phineas and Ferb, Dipper uses a hoverboard as his main mode of transportation. Running on a rechargeable battery, it's able to hover very high in the air (at least as high as halfway up their hometown's skyscrapers) and go on for long distances. Several more of these were created and given to the rest of his friends a short time before the events of the main series.

## Relationships

### Mabel Pines

Mabel is Dipper's twin sister, and although she annoys or teases him a lot, he shows deep care for her and is always there whenever she's in danger or to give her a shoulder to lean on if she's feeling depressed.

### Marcy Wu

Marcy is Dipper's closest companion in their small gang of friends thanks to their "shared nerd energy" as Anne and Sasha refer to it. She's often the first one he'll go to when he finds something cool in one of his Grunkle's journals, especially if he thinks it'll present an interesting adventure, with the two often cracking all-nighters to find as much information on the subject as they can and show it to the others (with the two often making a big presentation about it to try and convince them the next day), and the two will often geek out about all the fascinating artifacts, structures and the like on their escapades.

### Anne Boonchuy

Dipper and Anne are on friendly terms and like to hang out together for the fun of it, often breaking rules in the process. He had a huge crush on Anne for a long time, though he didn't necessarily believe they'd be together due to his own nervous tendencies. Regardless, he often attempted to impress her and frequently found himself in sticky situations as a result. He sometimes muttered certain things to himself under his breath, thinking that she couldn't hear him (though she actually could and did).

Eventually though, Dipper did finally reveal his feelings to her, only for Anne let him down gently and get him to admit he always knew a relationship couldn't really work between them, but told him it was important that they can still be friends, and he readily accepted it.

## Notes

Dipper's hat in this series is the hat he wears in the first episode of the original *Gravity Falls* and a few flashback sequences rather than his more iconic blue and white pine tree one, mostly in a way to preserve continuity, since he got *that* hat when he lost that one during his and Mabel's trip to the Falls (which, obviously, doesn't take place in this version of their story).

Dipper and Mabel's dynamic with the gang is based off of their dynamic with Wendy Corduroy and her group of friends in their home series (though there is a small age gap between them all, and they end up not being the youngest members in the gang). Dipper even has a little crush on Anne like he did with Wendy in the original series (what with both having both laid-back and tomboyish personalities), though the affection is helped by how the two are a lot closer in age than Dipper and Wendy were. That, and him not trying to get with her isn't so much based on their age gap since again, they're a lot closer in age, and more so just due to Dipper's own nervous tendencies.
