10 Best ‘Gravity Falls’ Characters, Ranked By Likability

From the moment Dipper and Mabel stepped into Gravity Falls, we were introduced to a world populated by characters as interesting as they are complex. The characters we meet have depth, personality, and some serious charm (or lack thereof, in some cases). Let's rank the best Gravity Falls characters based on likability factor.

10. Bill Cipher

Status: villain.

Bill Cipher is a demon who's as chaotic as they come! While some fans dig his wacky personality and bizarre humor, this guy's goal is literally to bring about the apocalypse. Not exactly friendship material.

9. Gideon Gleeful

Status: antagonist turned ally.

Little Gideon starts off as that creepy kid with perfect hair who's way too obsessed with Mabel. His fake psychic act and manipulative charm make him pretty unlikable at first. But by the time Weirdmageddon rolls around, Gideon has a change of heart.

8. Pacifica Northwest

Status: antagonist turned ally.

Pacifica starts off as the rich, mean girl who's constantly looking down on Mabel. But after the whole ghost situation at Northwest Mansion, we get to see there's more to her than designer clothes and snobbery. She's actually pretty cool once she breaks free from her family's toxic expectations.

7. Stan Pines (Stanley)

Status: lovable con man.

Grunkle Stan might run a shady tourist business, but this guy would do anything for Dipper and Mabel. His grumpy exterior hides a heart of gold, especially when it comes to his long-lost twin brother.

6. Ford Pines (Stanford)

Status: six-fingered genius.

Ford's super smart but kinda awkward with people after spending decades trapped between dimensions. Once he bonds with Dipper and finally makes peace with Stan, you can't help but root for him.

5. Wendy Corduroy

Status: too cool for school.

Wendy's the chill redhead who's always up for an adventure. She's super laid-back but don't let that fool you: this girl's got guts! She handles Dipper's awkward crush like a pro and always has the twins' backs when things get weird.

4. Dipper Pines

Status: mystery solver extraordinaire.

Dipper's the brains of the Pines twins operation. Yeah, he can be a bit of an overthinker sometimes, but that's part of his charm.

3. Soos Ramirez

Status: handyman of the Mystery Shack.

Soos has this childlike wonder about everything. The guy's super loyal to the Pines family, always down to help with whatever crazy situation they're in and brings the perfect amount of comic relief.

2. Mabel Pines

Status: sparkle queen.

Mabel's all about positivity! She sees the good in everyone and turns every situation into an adventure.

1. Waddles

Status: favorite pet.

This pink cutie might not solve mysteries, but Waddles steals every scene he's in! Mabel's pet pig is pure innocent joy on four tiny legs.
