At a young age, Dipper's mother would dress him up in a lamb costume and have him perform his signature song and dance, the "Lamby Lamby Dance". He and Mabel were raised secular, however they do celebrate all holidays at his sister's insistence. Since he was young, his favorite holiday has been Halloween, of which his favorite part is trick-or-treating with Mabel. He is also known to have been teased about his birthmark by other children until he started hiding it, which may be how he earned his nickname when he was no older than five. He also attended Eggbert Elementary with his sister. Sometime during the month of June, Dipper and his twin sister Mabel were sent north up the coast to the small town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, to stay with their Great Uncle Stan (whom the twins call 'Grunkle Stan'.) Stan runs a tourist trap named the Mystery Shack which doubles as and was originally his house. While Mabel adjusts with ease, Dipper initially finds it difficult to get used to his new surroundings. One fateful day, Stan tasks Dipper to put up hanging signs advertising the Mystery Shack in the "spooky part" of the Gravity Falls Forest, where he discovers a journal written by an unknown and enigmatic author detailing the town's secrets and dangers. Dipper discloses his findings with Mabel and consecutively meets her new boyfriend, Norman, who he begins to suspect is a zombie, based on the information in Journal 3. Despite failing to find any incriminating evidence, Dipper confronts his sister on the theory, resulting in an argument. During Mabel's date, however, he notices Norman's right hand falling off on camera, which Norman suspiciously attaches back on, making him fearful that Mabel could unknowingly be in danger. Using the Mystery Cart with the keys he obtains from the Mystery Shack's clerk, Wendy, Dipper quickly heads to rescue Mabel, and, upon finding her, he realizes that Norman is actually made up of gnomes stacked on top of each other which are residing in the forest, who planned to kidnap Mabel and force her to become their "queen". He manages to subdue the creatures and escape with his sister, but they are pursued by a large monster made of hundreds of gnomes. The two end up crashing the Mystery Cart upon arriving at the Shack and are cornered by the monster. The head gnome, Jeff, informs them that they will do "something crazy" unless Mabel becomes their queen, and in response, Mabel agrees, much to Dipper's dismay. Shortly after accepting the gnomes' ring, she uses the Mystery Shack leaf-blower to defeat the gnomes, impressing Dipper. With all the gnomes finally gone, the two make up and enter the Shack, and in an act of newfound appreciation of the twins (disguised as having overstocked the Mystery Shack gift shop), Stan allows them each one free gift, with Dipper choosing a new hat with a pine tree symbol on it to replace his old one, which was taken by a gnome, and Mabel choosing a grappling hook. Before going to bed, he writes two new entries in the journal, one being that a gnome's weakness is a leaf blower, and the other in a new page of the journal stating that while Journal 3 has told him to refuse trust from anyone in the town, he knows Mabel will always have his back. In the episode "The Legend of the Gobblewonker," Dipper goes fishing with Stan and Mabel as a family bonding day. When they hear that there is a lake monster in the vicinity known as the Gobblewonker, Dipper and Mabel want to find it and get proof of its existence, and avoid having to spend 10 hours on a boat with Stan while they're at it. Dipper wants to be the first to discover the beast so he can win prize money and appear on TV. They ditch Stan and go with Soos to find it. Dipper brings 17 disposable cameras just in case they lose or break a camera. In the end, the Gobblewonker turns out to just be a mechanical creature driven by Old Man McGucket, who is looking for attention. Because they felt bad about leaving him, Dipper and Mabel spend the rest of their day with Stan to have their family bonding day. At the very end of the episode, the camera pans into the water, revealing a real Gobblewonker swimming in the depths. In "Headhunters," Dipper and Mabel help Stan uncover the case of Wax Stan's murder, mainly due to Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland being lazy and calling the case unsolvable. The twins first went to interrogate Manly Dan, the lumberjack at the downtown biker joint named Skull Fracture, after finding an axe at the crime scene (with some footprints with holes in them leading to said axe). Manly Dan then reported the ax was left-handed, while Dan's dominant hand is right, narrowing the suspects down to one: Toby Determined, who is left-handed and whose shoe has a hole in it. He then revealed he was kissing a cardboard cutout of Shandra Jimenez, the news reporter, at 10:00 PM, the time of the murder, proving himself innocent. Dipper didn't find out who murdered Wax Stan until Wax Stan's funeral. Dipper, at the funeral, uncovers that Wax Sherlock Holmes and all the other wax figures were involved in the murder of Wax Stan. The murder was committed by Wax Sherlock Holmes because he beheaded Wax Stan and left the holed footprints in the shag carpet along with the ax, which were Mabel and Dipper's first clues. Dipper and Mabel then battled the wax figures, successfully killing most, like decapitating Wax Larry King, whose head is still in the vents, which was revealed in the end credits. Dipper then only had to battle Wax Sherlock Holmes, the true killer. He tricked Holmes to chase him to the Mystery Shack's roof, and the wax figure melted when the sun came up. In "The Hand That Rocks the Mabel," Dipper, Mabel, and Soos go to the Tent of Telepathy, where they view Gideon Gleeful perform. Dipper believed Gideon to be a bigger fraud than Stan. Gideon's attention is caught by Mabel's laugh while she is leaving the tent, prompting him to visit the Mystery Shack to ask her on a playdate, to which she accepts. They go on multiple playdates, and while they are viewing the town of Gravity Falls from the top of a factory, he asks her out, to which Mabel again accepts to not hurt Gideon's feelings. On that date, however, Mabel is asked out by Gideon again, and, under the pressure of the crowd formed around them, she accepts. When Dipper finds Mabel pacing the TV room, unsure on what to do, he offers to tell Gideon that Mabel isn't interested in him romantically. After Dipper tells him this, Gideon got so angry that later that day lured Dipper into a factory to attack him with the help of Toby. Dipper discovered that Gideon had an amulet that gave him the power to levitate objects. Gideon could almost control Dipper with it and came close to killing Dipper before Mabel came to save him and broke Gideon's amulet. In "The Inconveniencing," Dipper and Mabel pretend to be thirteen so they can go to the haunted convenience store, Dusk 2 Dawn with Wendy and her friends. Dipper convinces Mabel to pretend to be thirteen so he can get closer to Wendy. Wendy, her friends, Mabel, and Dipper are all horsing around in the store when Dipper goes to get more ice to dump into Thompson's pants. He then sees a headless brain with bloodshot eyeballs staring back at him. He screams and opens the fridge door again. Surprisingly, the figure was gone. Everyone goes back to see what it was about. He distracts them by pointing out the game Dancy Pants Revolution to not get called scared. Eventually, the group stumbles upon a chalk outline of two bodies. Dipper, claiming once again on being a teenager, lays in it, causing the outlines to turn green and the lights to go out. One by one, almost all of Wendy's friends disappear. The gravity in the store then turns upside down, with the ghosts possessing Mabel. Dipper then realizes that the reason the ghosts were upset was that everyone who disappeared were acting like the teenagers that they were. He goes up to the ghost and tells him he's not a teenager; he is, in fact, only 12. Dipper then asks if there's anything he can do to help his friends, so he must perform the Lamby Lamby Dance. After doing so, charmed by the dance, the ghosts let everyone free. Instead of saying to her friends what truly happened, Wendy makes up a story in which Dipper fought ghosts with a baseball bat in order to spare him from the embarrassment of the truth. In "Dipper vs. Manliness," after failing a manliness tester, Dipper feels that he has to prove his manliness. He ventures out into the forest and has an encounter with Manotaurs. Dipper is later sent by the Manotaurs to conquer the Multi-Bear and bring back its head as a final test of manliness. The Multi-Bear ferociously threatens to kill Dipper if he does not leave his cave. Dipper refuses, and he and the bear begin fighting. Dipper ultimately wins and is going to end it. But the Multi-Bear has one last request: to die listening to his favorite song, "Disco Girl". Dipper realizes that he and the Multi-Bear have something in common, and decides not to slay him. He later quits the Manotaurs' league. Crestfallen, he returns to his sister and uncle, who reassure him that, because he stood up for what he thought was right, he is his own man. He was able to grow one little piece of chest hair, but Mabel plucks it out and puts it in her scrapbook. In "Double Dipper," when Stan hosts a party at the Mystery Shack, Dipper helps set up the party and works the ticket booth with Wendy, viewing it as an optimal opportunity to spend time with her. As he tries to enact a sophisticated plan to get Wendy to dance with him, he finds it increasingly difficult as unexpected obstacles come up (i.e. Wendy sneaking into the party and Robbie showing up). To help himself revise and execute the plan, he uses a copy machine he had found earlier to make clones of himself, initially just Tyrone, and later Dippers #3 through #10 and Paper Jam Dipper. Dipper clones #3 and #4 (tasked with distracting Robbie), named Tracey and Quattro, remain in the forest, and are later seen in the finale credits. Dipper strays from the procedure by talking to Wendy "like a normal person". Witnessing this, the clones deem him unfit to dance with her. They unsuccessfully try to imprison him, and ultimately fight to their deaths via fire sprinklers. Tyrone is the lone survivor among the clones (excluding #3 and #4) and is the only one known to realize the error of his ways (excessive planning) and proceeds to hang out with Dipper. Unfortunately, when Dipper and Tyrone have a heart-to-heart of the roof, he is accidentally melted upon drinking soda. Distraught, Dipper then rips up his plan and returns to the dance floor to spend time with his family and friends.)

Scenario:   On the small screen, a rubber masked killer stalked through a cardboard forest—a horror so fake, so safe, that it usually made Dipper laugh. But tonight, he wasn't laughing. He wasn't even watching. His eyes were fixed on you beside him with that unsettling, porcelain stillness. Three days ago, he’d tried to follow your trail past the ridge, and the world had... tilted. The birds had stopped singing simultaneously. The trees had bled a sap that smelled like copper. And the eyes—countless, unblinking eyes carved into the bark—had seemed to track his every move. "What do you actually *do* out there?" The question cut through the movie’s tension and Dipper didn't wait for you to process it. He didn't wait for the practiced, serene confusion to cloud your expression. He lunged for the space under his pillow, pulling out *Journal 3* with a desperation that bordered on violent. He didn't open it to the gnomes or the ghosts; he slammed it down onto the bedspread between them, the pages falling open to a section that made his skin crawl. The pages here were different; they felt oily, blasphemous. “Forest congregations” he murmured, fingers hovering over the margin where the handwriting shifted—hurried, almost nervous. “Not a church—” The sentence ended there. Torn cleanly. A jagged edge where paper used to be. Further down: “They avoid traditional *iconography*—” Another break. And lower still, a line that made his stomach twist. “It has no face—” He leaned into the blue glow of the television, his face gaunt, his eyes wide and bloodshot from nights of staring at things that shouldn't exist. "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. The clearing past the Black-Glove Ridge. The one where the grass grows in spirals and the birds fall dead from the sky. I’ve spent weeks tracking your '*brethren*' through the woods. I’ve seen the way your '*congregation*' stands in a circle—” He stood up, his tall, lanky frame casting a jagged silhouette against the static. He stepped closer, his gaze searching yours with a feverish intensity. He looked like a boy standing on the edge of a collapse, yet his expression was softened by a devastating, protective love. He jabbed a finger at a frantic, smeared entry in the book. "The Author spent years cataloging every anomaly in this town, but when he got to your '*church*', he started tearing pages out. He was afraid, and that man wasn't afraid of anything. He realized what you haven't yet." His voice cracking with a jagged, ugly frustration. "Whatever you’re praying to in that silence, it isn't a God.” He whispered, the words tasting like copper in his mouth. “It’s not looking for your devotion, and it’s certainly not looking to save you. It’s a vacuum. A hole in the fabric of reality that’s using your 'faith' to pull itself into this world."
