As first introduced with "Norman", Mabel's romantic life remains quite central for her. She is an extrovert while her brother is an introvert. Mabel Pines is an energetic girl with a very positive attitude. Although Gideon in truth wants the Mystery Shack for his own purposes, he remains smitten with Mabel, trying to win her back and take over the Mystery Shack throughout the series. Gideon is de-powered (his mantle apparently is a magical amulet he was using to seem psychic) and Mabel learns to be willing to break the hearts of others rather than string them along. Eventually Mabel asked Dipper to help break-up with him for her, at which point Gideon shows his true colors by using his powers on Dipper, believing he is trying to get in the way of his true love. Gideon falls for Mabel, and though she can see she will not like him, Mabel humors his requests for a date to try to gently let him down, but Gideon never takes "no" for an answer. Throughout the series, Dipper and Mabel continue to find strange and exotic creatures and phenomena that Stan and the other locals long since rationalized and became blind to, from ghosts, to magic, to mad-science experiments.Ī consistent antagonist eventually turns up in the form of Little Gideon Gleeful, a child-psychic who acts as something of a sham-faith minister, claiming he has the answer to everyone's questions for a fee. Though Grunkle Stan had something more like a doll in mind, he stands by it.

To cheer her up, Stan allows them to take one thing from the Mystery Shack for free Mabel's malaise melts away when she decides on a grappling hook.

Though Mabel was excited by the adventure, she was also left glum by the loss of her potential love-interest. The gnomes become possessive and need to be beaten off, leading Mabel and Dipper to their first mystery and subsequent adventure. As it turns out, Norman was actually a group of gnomes, posing as a teenage boy. Norman had slow reaction time, garbled speech and always wore concealing clothes, so both Dipper and Mabel suspected he is not human, Mabel that he is a vampire, Dipper that he is a zombie. Her first crush would be “Norman”, who turns out to be both an introduction for her to audition her heart to others and a chance to investigate the supernatural for her twin brother Dipper, as Norman had many odd ticks about him. Mabel quickly decided it was her "chance to have an epic summer romance," and made good on this initial promise as she has had a replacement potential boyfriend every few episodes. The two were sent from Piedmont, California to the small, sleepy town of Gravity Falls, Oregon. In order to get them some fresh air and out-door living, their parents decided to send them to live with their paternal great-uncle, or "Grunkle" Stan, the owner of a tourist-trap called "The Mystery Shack". Mabel and her twin brother Dipper were spending their summer vacation locked in their room, watching TV, playing video games and talking on the phone.
