Mabel is an energetic, fun, bouncy, hyperactive, enthusiastic and free-spirited girl. She is an optimist who skips through life with a braces-filled smile and an assortment of extremely colorful knit sweaters. It is Mabel's outgoing personality and fearless curiosity that comes in handy when Dipper needs help solving a mystery, even if she isn't always aware of her silliness.She shows a more sophisticated attitude when it comes to art.
Despite all the weirdness in Gravity Falls, Mabel is always a "glass-half-full" kind of girl.She is rarely angry or upset, and generally keeps a positive outlook. Despite her cheerful attitude, Mabel is shown to be quite sensitive, as she can occasionally get her feelings hurt, especially by her rival, Pacifica Northwest.She is somewhat naive at times. She avoids lying and is a terrible liar, often blurting out whatever it is about which she is trying to lie.
"When life gives you lemons,
draw faces on
those lemons
and wrap them in a blanket.
Ta-daaa! Now you have
lemon babies."

Mabel has also on occasion made mistakes that accidentally backfire in some way, such as shoving her brother in a closet with Wendy in "Into the Bunker" so that he could end his anxiety and admit his crush on Wendy. This unintentionally endangers them when they encounter a dangerous creature. This also caused Wendy's friend group to temporarily break up after she had made Robbie Valentino and Tambry date each other in "The Love God." However, like her brother, Mabel has the best of intentions and she will always try to choose the right options for the happiness of herself and others, she also proves to be clumsy, as in the episode "Soos and the Real Girl," when Mabel was playing and suddenly collides with the front door of the Mystery Shack and gets a brace stuck on the metal door.
Mabel is a preteen dreamer with a world filled with preteen novels (mostly about vampires), and her fixation on finding her one true love occasionally lands her in sticky situations. She sometimes has her moments of self-centered behavior, most notably when it comes to boys with whom she's infatuated with. In episodes like "Sock Opera" and "Boyz Crazy" she has been known to prioritize her own needs over that of others, though will in the end own up and accept her mistake. There are other occasions where she may prioritizes her own desires over that of her others such as in "The Time Traveler's Pig", where she makes Dipper sacrifice his chance with Wendy to let her win Waddles (though Dipper in that episode has been explained by Alex Hirsch as being in the wrong given his manipulation of time to achieve a goal that only pleases him), or "Dipper and Mabel vs The Future" when she wants Dipper to come back to Piedmont with her, meaning he can't accept Ford's apprenticeship.
Mabel was born on August 31.According to her, her first word was "unicorn." She claims to have shown a "natural gift" for art since she was two years old.She and Dipper were raised non-religious, but celebrate all holidays at her insistence.
Since the age of three, Mabel has celebrated Halloween in Piedmont with Dipper Pines. Mabel and Dipper went to Eggbert Elementary. At age nine, she won a mini-golf tournament and from then on she has been amazing at it.
Sometime early during the month of June, Mabel and her twin brother, Dipper, were sent from Piedmont, California to the small, sleepy town of Gravity Falls, Oregon to visit their great uncle, Grunkle Stan. Mabel believes that this is her "chance to have an epic summer romance," and shows her boy-crazy obsession when she tries to date many local boys before agreeing to date a very mysterious character, who says he is a teenage boy named Norman, in the half-hour Dipper left to hang signs for the Mystery Shack. Little does she know that "he" is actually a group of gnomes, posing as a teenage boy. The gnomes ask her to be their queen and try to kidnap her when she refuses. Dipper aids in Mabel's escape and brings her back to the Mystery Shack on a golf cart. Mabel then defeats the gnomes by using a leaf blower. Stan allows them to take one thing from the Mystery Shack for free, and Mabel decides on a grappling hook,despite her Grunkle's suggestion of a doll.
