Who is Dipper Pines?

Mason Pines, better known as Dipper Pines, is the protagonist of Gravity Falls: A Summer of Mysteries. He is a boy from Piedmont, California who was sent by his parents to spend the holidays at his great-uncle's cabin, with his sister Mabel in the mysterious town called Gravity Falls, Oregon. Upon discovering that it was a paranormal town full of mysteries, Dipper dedicated himself to investigating the mysteries of that place with his friends and with the help of Diary 3. He is an adventurous, intelligent and curious thirteen-year-old boy always willing to go on adventures alone or with his friends in search of solving mysteries. His symbol in the Zodiac is the pine. Her summer vacation is now over and she has returned to Piedmont, California with her sister.

Dipper is a very cowardly, intelligent, organized and critical boy with what he does. He is interested in and enjoys solving the town's mysteries, analyzing and making theories, although he can also become paranoid about the paranormal events in the town. He always tries to be prudent and rational, since due to the mockery towards him in the past, he always takes himself very seriously and feels the need to be approved by people, so that they do not think that he is just a child. In fact, it bothers him a lot when people consider him adorable or as someone inferior. In "The Magic Carpet" it is revealed that Dipper has the habit of "clicking" his pen when he is reflecting, analyzing, or thinking something too deeply. In "The Time Traveler's Pig" it is observed that he has a good knowledge of physics to perform calculations. Dipper is not usually as radiant as Mabel is, and he prefers to focus on a more "realistic" perspective instead of a fantasy one, although despite that, he has his sense of humor and likes to have fun. He usually takes the lead when on an adventure with Wendy, Soos, and Mabel due to his great bravery and intelligence. Like Mabel, Dipper is very brave, and has a lot of love and appreciation for his family, which leads him to do anything to protect and defend them, even if he himself knows he could lose in the attempt. A very clear example of this is when he faces Gideon ("Giant Gideon") and Bill Key ("Dream Escape" and "Weirdmageddon: Part 1"), who were much stronger and more powerful than him. In the episode "Dipper and Mabel Versus the Future" Dipper doubted Ford's proposal to be his apprentice, since this would mean that Mabel would be left without him in California, which shows that Dipper usually thinks of his family first, and is even willing to reject compromising opportunities in order to be with them.

Dipper can be skeptical, especially with people. He can be resentful, which is made very clear with Pacifica Northwest, as he had a strong resentment for mistreating Mabel and wanted to give her what she deserved, even after Mabel stopped hating Pacifica. However, he forgave her and saw that she was not really that bad, showing that he is capable of forgiving those who have hurt him or someone close to him. Sometimes he can be selfish, like any child his age, although most of the time he learns from his mistake. He is very determined and has a strong sense of morality and justice, as in the episode "He's Not What He Seems" he did not care much about attacking Stan and Soos (beings close to him) in order to know the truth and protect the world. Although Dipper is aware of his great abilities to analyze and solve mysteries, he himself is usually quite humble with his abilities. When Ford suggested the idea of ​​being his apprentice, Dipper was very hesitant about the proposal, and was convinced that he might not be as good as Ford hopes. Due to his intrigue with the town's mysteries and his skeptical-bordering-on-paranoid personality, Dipper used to believe that he couldn't trust anyone (except perhaps his sister Mabel). He took the "Trust NO ONE" message from Book 3 to heart because it was precisely his way of thinking. He tends to panic and fear the obvious possible dangers of Gravity Falls, but always looks for ways to be brave. He was horrified by Bill Clave's supposed possession of Ford (possibly caused by his trouble trusting others) but did his best to take the situation in stride. Despite his moral side, Dipper doesn't mind breaking the rules a little to have fun with his friends.

Dipper wears a distinctive white and blue cap with a pine tree image on it, a dark blue vest which remains open at all times, an orange short-sleeved shirt, grey shorts, white socks and dark blue shoes. In the episode "Double Dipper" it is revealed that he has a birthmark, the Big Dipper, and to hide it he wears a cap and lets his hair grow. He sometimes carries a green backpack where he carries his belongings which he uses to investigate or solve mysteries.

Despite their contrasting tastes, desires, and personalities, Dipper maintains a good, strong, and close relationship with his twin sister, and vice versa. He protects, cares for, and defends her whenever she's in danger and usually helps her out in her problems, even sacrificing his opportunities or risking his own life so that she can be happy and well, which contrasts greatly with Mabel, as she is not capable of sacrificing much for her brother. Dipper enjoys going on adventures with her and they usually spend time playing together, although they also tend to fight but always end up reconciling. He considers her his best friend and his closest ally[2]. In "He's Not What He Seems" Dipper and Mabel's relationship could have been severely broken, as she chose Stan over him, however, Dipper showed no resentment towards her. Despite getting along very well with her, Dipper apparently has resentment towards her and Stan due to them constantly making fun of him.

Unlike Mabel, Dipper is not as close with Stan, he considers him to be weird and is often annoyed when Stan doesn't take him seriously or makes fun of him. Stan doesn't usually take many precautions with children and often puts Dipper and Mabel in dangerous or illegal situations, such as counterfeiting money. [3] Unlike Mabel, Dipper notices this and becomes distrustful or has low expectations when Stan tells them he has a trip or a surprise planned for them. He also shows annoyance at the fact that Stan gives him more chores than Mabel, especially because Stan is often very hard on him and exposes him to difficult or embarrassing situations. Despite this, Dipper loves his uncle and understands that even though it may not seem like it, Stan has good reasons. He is willing to help his uncle when he gets into trouble, as shown in "Little Dipper". In "Dream Escape" you can see a very negative Dipper with Stan due to the harsh treatment he gave him, and shows that he wants to know his opinion about him, as he seems very interested in reviewing Stan's memories when he enters his mind. When he hears Stan say about him: "The kid is a loser, a coward, an absolute disgrace, I just want to get rid of him" Dipper becomes sad and totally believes that Stan hates him, but later when he hears the entire conversation, Dipper understands Stan and very determined, he goes to help the others, who were with Bill Key. Then when everyone leaves Stan's mind, Dipper hugs him and jokes with him. However, in "He's Not What He Seems", Dipper's relationship with Stan declines drastically, to the point where Dipper completely distrusts him and turns against him, but then upon discovering Stan's true motives, Dipper apologizes to him. Even though their relationship can go up and down for a while, they do have a certain trust in each other, which is much better appreciated in the second season. There are times when their ideas

Dipper and Soos get along very well, both enjoying having fun and doing "boy things" like exploding hot dogs in the microwave. Soos often gives Dipper advice and guidance, while Dipper supports Soos and wants the best for him. Dipper is often seen accompanied by Soos and his sister, with Soos sometimes taking the lead role. However, Dipper is often annoyed when Soos ends up "messing things up" or complicating things by acting childish or getting into mischief, as shown in the episode "Pig or Life".

Dipper talking to Wendy Dipper talking to Wendy. After spending days at the Mystery Shack, Dipper would spend time with Wendy, usually cracking jokes with Mabel and Soos. Later, he developed romantic feelings for her. He considers Wendy to be cool and likes her laid-back attitude. He enjoys spending time with her for fun and sometimes felt the need to be approved by her. When Robbie Valentino became Wendy's boyfriend, Dipper began competing with him to win Wendy's affections. He usually tried to impress her, and preferred to keep his feelings for her a secret, although he was not good at it. He would sometimes be desperate to win her affections, sometimes becoming inconsiderate towards her, as happened in the episode "Boy Madness", where he focused too much on winning Wendy's affections and not on her feelings, who had just broken up with Robbie after discovering that he had lied to her. Dipper later reflected on his actions, and preferred not to interfere in Wendy's affairs again. Then in the episode "Visit to the Shelter", he again became interested in the idea of ​​confessing his feelings for her, but failed to do so.

He later confessed his feelings for her, thinking Wendy had died because of him, however, it was just a copy of her created by the Shapeshifter, although the real Wendy had heard everything. When Wendy rejects him in a friendly manner, Dipper understands her decision and completely stops his attempts to impress her. However, he still couldn't stop thinking about her. In the episode "Roadside Attractions", Dipper was still not over his crush on her, and it is revealed that he had been saving pictures of Wendy. In the episode, he tried his best to not think about her, which led to the idea of ​​flirting with other girls, although it turned out to be a disaster. "Weirdmageddon: Part 1" Dipper lets go of his feelings for her, and states that "if there's one valuable thing he learned this summer, it was that you can't force a person to love you", making it clear that even if he still loves her, he will respect her decision. Dipper trusts her and declares that she is the coolest person he has ever met. He also admires his skills and his bravery in the face of danger.

Robbie valentino

The two did not get along, Dipper disliked Robbie mainly because he was so close to having Wendy and because of some traits of him that he disliked, while Robbie resented Dipper for trying to interfere in his relationship with Wendy. They used to be rivals for Wendy's love, even getting into physical fights. In the episode "Troublemakers", they both agree to hate each other in silence. In the episode "Crazy Boys", Robbie begins to deeply hate Dipper since he was the cause of his breakup with Wendy. However, the two seem to have gotten better and put their rivalry behind them, this as a thank you from Robbie to Mabel, as she was the one who helped him find a new love. In "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back the Town", Robbie can be seen singing and celebrating Dipper and Mabel's birthdays, showing that he has put aside his hatred for him, and that both have greatly improved in their relationship, you can even see Robbie's signature on Wendy's letter to Dipper that was a farewell gift, so that Dipper and his sister would remember them.

gideon joy

Dipper never believed in Gideon and assumed his magic was fake, he didn't give him much importance and didn't see him as a big threat. The only reason he was hanging around with him is because Gideon was always trying to get close to Mabel to make her his girlfriend or take over the Mystery Shack. When Gideon comes to them with evil intentions, Dipper usually defends his family from him, and thus, the two often end up fighting and underestimating each other. Although he dislikes Gideon, Dipper admits that he has a "beautiful singing voice."[4] In "Weirdageddon: Part 1", Dipper is shown to be more understanding towards him and tries to talk some sense into him. After they have patched things up, in "Weirdageddon 3: Take Back the Town", Dipper shows concern for Gideon after discovering that he has been punished for betraying Bill Key. When Weirdageddon ends and everything returns to normal, Dipper and Gideon's relationship has improved greatly, as he lets Gideon come to his birthday party and thanks the twins for turning over a new leaf. His signature can also be seen on the letter Wendy gave Dipper to remember them by.

Dipper Pines Abilities

His abilities include hunting monsters and solving puzzles. He thinks very logically compared to others around him and has a high intelligence that allows him to decipher different mysteries and riddles that other people can't. He is able to hold his own in fights, despite being very weak. In "The Hand That Rocks Mabel", Dipper is seen slapping Gideon while the two fight, later in "The Gigantic Gideon", Dipper manages to jump from a great height to fight Gideon (inside Gideon-bot), where he ends up winning the fight by using his intellect to make the robot hurt itself. In "The Mystery of Northwest Mansion" he is seen to have weapon handling such as a taser.

"Dipper" is just a nickname given because of the birthmark on his forehead, which is the Big Dipper. He always wanted to be called Tyrone[5]. Dipper doesn't like his mark, but his mother thinks "it's a sign that her son is destined for greatness."[6] Early dipper designs by Joe Pitt (2) Dipper's first designs, where he bore some resemblance to Alex Hirsch, creator of the series. In his early designs, it can be noted that he bore a resemblance to Alex Hirsch, the creator of the series. This is because Alex projects himself into Dipper, just as he projects his sister, Ariel Hirsch, into Mabel. At first he thought Wendy's name was Wanda[7]. He has tickles under his arm[8]. Actors Demián Velazco Rochwerger (voice actor for Gideon Alegría and Marco Diaz in Star vs. the Forces of Evil) and Damián Stavros (voice actor for Xyler) originally auditioned for the role of Dipper,[9] but Alejandro Graue was the actor chosen for the character in an audition for a segment of [[The Legend of the Lake Monster|The Legend of the Lake Monster][10]. In "The Society of the Blind Eye", Dipper confesses (at least in the English version of the episode) that he sometimes uses "strong words" even if he doesn't know their meaning.

As shown in the episode "The Legend of the Lake Monster", Dipper, Mabel, and Stan were in jail for counterfeiting money. This happened on "a family bonding day". Mabel is five minutes older than Dipper, she always uses that as an excuse to tell him that she is older than him, which bothers Dipper[11]. Dipper and Mabel often keep items they find on their adventures, this was revealed by Alex Hirsch at a 2014 Gravity Falls convention.[12] In a cancelled episode parodying the film Labyrinth, Dipper was shown to have a certain dislike and fear of puppets.[13] However, in "Sock Theater" he is seen using puppets without any fear or dislike. Dipper got his nickname at age five, this is revealed in the short "Mabel Leads Them to Art". Dipper's birthmark was inspired by a high school classmate of Alex Hirsch, who due to his terrible acne, Alex used to draw constellations on his face. One day while doing this, he noticed that he had "a perfect Big Dipper on his face." Although his real name was never revealed in the series, it was revealed in Journal 3, where Dipper reveals to Ford that his name is "Mason". Before the reveal, Alex had said that Dipper's name was similar to Mabel's, which was true, because despite having many differences in spelling, in English they have a lot of similarity in pronunciation. Also, before the reveal, one of the writers, Jeff Rowe had revealed that Dipper's real name is "Llamanic" which was actually going to be "Dominic" but there was a typo[14].

Dipper has appeared twice in a black suit, curiously the first time was with an eye patch (similar to Stan) in Today Mabel Rules and the second was when he was possessed by Bill Key in Love without Socks, the one-eyed being. Dipper has a habit of saying "Of course" in the original English dub. It is considered a more formal way of expressing oneself in English speech as opposed to "Yeah" all right. This trait is not present in the Latin dub. The only physical fight he has had with a character has been with Gideon Alegría. He is of Jewish roots, as is his family. This was established by Alex Hirsch himself in 2017 and later in Bill's Book. It is worth mentioning that Alex Hirsch is also Jewish, as is his family. In Gravity Falls: The Book of Bill, it is revealed that Dipper often has nightmares about his parents arguing, where Bill alludes to his parents "being in a hurry to send Dipper and his sister to Gravity Falls, Oregon." He shares his voice in Latin America with Nathan Adams, the protagonist of Yo-Kai Watch, which aired on Disney XD.
