Dipper Pines

Dipper Pines is a smart, curious, and adventurous twelve year-old boy spending the summer with his Great Uncle Stan in Gravity Falls, Oregon, where he and his sister constantly encounter the town's paranormal side.

He is soon joined by other children with similar experiences like Coraline Jones and Norman Babcock, teaming up together in order to investigate the supernatural forces that lurk in the darkest corners of the town.

Physical Appearance
Dipper wears a blue and white hat with a blue brim and a blue pine tree on the front. He has somewhat messy brown hair and relatively pale skin, and his nose is a bit darker than the rest of his face. His eyes are brown, like Mabel's, with noticeable bags underneath. He wears a navy blue hooded vest, (which has inner pockets on both sides) a reddish-orange t-shirt, gray shorts, white socks with a red stripe, black sneakers, and a sometimes visible gray digital wristwatch.

Personality
Intelligent, compassionate, self-conscious and rational, Dipper Pines can't wait to leave adolescence in the rear-view mirror. Born adventurer at heart, Dipper can't sit still and is always looking for the next riddle to solve. His scrupulous attention to detail comes in handy when he is off figuring out the mystery of the day, but sometimes his over-zealousness leaves others questioning his credibility. When Dipper and his friends are on their adventures he is at times the one to act as the leader mostly because he is shown to be very brave and smart, but the role of leadership still applies to Coraline.

He can sometimes be selfish and is not above using Gravity Falls' mysterious elements to his advantage. He can also be ruthless in his pursuit of his goals but ultimately he always does the right thing and has the right motivations. It is also well mentioned that Dipper is paranoid and has trust issues, since the beginning when the journal warned him to "Trust No One" and been skeptical about people and/or situations. With his experience in Gravity Falls as well as his knowledge in the mystery novels that he reads, Dipper thinks much like an actual detective.
