**Mabel Elizabeth Griffin** is a recurring character in Jonah Campbell's old GoAnimate videos from early 2016. Despite making a minor appearance, she plays a significant role in *The Sad Story of Pablo and Tyrone* (2023), and later becomes the tritagonist of its sequel, *Pablo And Tyrone's Epic Escape*.

## Background:

### Personality:

Mabel is quite a food enthusiast, as she often watches the cooking channel on TV. She also loves cooking, proven by her large collection of herbs, spices, and other kinds of different food in the kitchen of her house. In addition, she has a big fear of both rats and burglars, alongside a trigger-happy personality rooted in her youth when she fought in the Vietnam War (shown in pictures which can be seen inside her house). Old age and a lack of any recent practice have numbed her aim, as she wrecks her house far more than Zoey and Zara ever could, shooting at them and accidentally destroying both the walls and ceiling of her house in the process. She also owns a gas mask and rat poison spray, which she could've used in the first place instead of her rifle.

### Physical appearance:

Mabel is a tall, slender, 85-year-old Caucasian woman with white neck-length hair and blue eyes. She wears an all-pink attire consisting of a robe, bedroom slippers, and a nightcap. Additionally, she wears black prescription eyeglasses.

## Appearances:

### *The Sad Story of Pablo and Tyrone*

Just like in *Ratatouille*, Mabel is an elderly woman who lives alone in a small cottage located in the rural countryside near a quaint village.

### *Pablo And Tyrone's Epic Escape*

In *Pablo And Tyrone's Epic Escape*, Mabel returns with a much larger role. More information about her is also revealed. Unlike her *Ratatouille* counterpart, her farm is located in Friendship, Maine instead of Paris, France. Instead of participating in the French Resistance against the Nazi Occupation during World War II, Mabel fought as a United States Army soldier during the Vietnam War for 20 years, from 1957 to 1977. And instead of a shotgun, Mabel's weapon is a rifle.

### *The Empire State Express*

One year after the events of the previous film, Mabel is now the adoptive mother of Pablo and Tyrone, as she had adopted them as her very own sons after Zoey and Zara escaped from her farm and failed to kidnap them again. On the night of Christmas Eve, Mabel's husband, Ivan, takes Austin (who's sleeping over) downstairs for a drink of water. The sound of the jingling bell from Ivan's Santa hat supposedly wakes up Pablo and Tyrone. Thinking it's Santa Claus, they both go downstairs to investigate, only to find no presents and no Santa. The strange jingling noise is heard again, in which Pablo and Tyrone think Santa Claus is in the kitchen. But it's soon revealed when Ivan begins to walk Austin back upstairs to get back into bed. Pablo and Tyrone quickly and quietly return to their bedroom and look through the keyhole to watch their parents tuck Austin into bed, who recalls his friends expressing doubt in Santa's existence and citing how illogical his annual Christmas Eve runs sound. Ivan assures Austin they were just joking while Mabel says Santa will only come if he goes to sleep. Later, Mabel and Ivan check up on Pablo and Tyrone and quietly comment to each other on how they used to stay up late waiting for Santa. They describe their current state as the "end of the magic".

The next morning, Mabel and Ivan are both woken up by an excited Austin. They soon come downstairs and notice the silver bell that Pablo lost from Santa Claus's sleigh. Pablo hands it to Mabel who shakes it, but doesn't hear anything. Ivan shakes it too, but also hears nothing. He thinks it must be broken and hands it back to Pablo. Shortly after, Mabel calls her two sons and Austin over, and Pablo puts the bell down on the coffee table before leaving.
