* While Mabel is a very energetic girl, she can come across as very annoying to detractors since she can get way too hyper and does annoying things.
* She is shown to be very selfish throughout the series, especially around Dipper. As Dipper literally does anything to make Mabel happy, even doing sacrifices for her. She didn't really do anything to make Dipper happy and doesn't necessarily take any sacrifices to help her brother out.
* Mabel barely faces any consequences for her behavior, which made her not learn from her mistakes. Dipper was always the one that had to face consequences if he did something bad and did indeed learn from his mistakes.
* She is also a hypocrite as well. She calls Dipper a creep because of his crush on Wendy but she had a crush on many boys, many older boys and tried to keep them up in the attic.
