Stanley "Stan" Pines, also known by his stolen identity Stanford Pines, or his nickname Grunkle Stan, is the deuteragonist of Disney's Gravity Falls franchise.
He is Dipper and Mabel Pines' great uncle, Soos Ramirez and Wendy Corduroy's boss, Gideon Gleeful's business rival, and owner/proprietor of the Mystery Shack tourist attraction in Gravity Falls, Oregon. As one of the series protagonists, he isn't really evil but is often depicted as anti-heroic, being criminally villainous at his worst thanks to his penchant for petty crimes.
In Bottomless Pit!, when his voice was altered into a female voice during Dipper's story, he was briefly voiced by Grey DeLisle, who also voiced Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Vicky in The Fairy OddParents, Mandy in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Asajj Ventress in Star Wars Franchise.
Personality[]
Stanley Pines is very mischievous and tricksy, and is also a skilled con man and manipulator. He enjoys scamming and tricking people, as well as pulling pranks, telling jokes, throwing insults, and plotting money-making schemes. He enjoys being sleazy and crafty, and expresses a minute amount of sadism upon scaring, tricking, hurting, or stealing from people. Due to his past living in poverty, he is very tight with money, and can be extremely greedy and selfish to the point of criminal activity to ensure he gets money, even once stating that his goal in life is to "possess riches".
Stan also possesses a short temper. Though he is willing to trick, con, and insult others, he is easily offended and angered when someone does any of those things to him, seeing it as a blow to his pride, and will go out of his way for revenge. When he is enraged, he becomes violent, attacking the subject of his rage with ferocity.
Despite this, Stan is still shown to be very loyal and protective. Though he hates to admit his softer side and prefers to hide it under his guise as a greedy curmudgeon, he is genuinely honest with those he cares about and is fiercely loyal and protective of close friends and family. He will even drop his crusty and crude demeanor for certain people, becoming playful and goofy. Furthermore, it's shown that his criminal and callous side was likely developed by frequently being demeaned in comparison to his brother Stanford's academic prowess and, while he doesn't immediately stop his criminal ways, he is shown to start changing after making amends with him.
