Stanley Pines

Stanley "Stan" Pines (born June 15, 15 minutes after his twin brother, Ford Pines), also known as Grunkle Stan, and formerly under the assumed identity Stanford Pines, is Dipper and Mabel Pines' great uncle and summer guardian, and a paternal uncle of Mr. Pines. After many years of crime and infamy, he has taken up residence in the remote town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, where he exploits local lore and the gullibility of the "dumbest people in the world" to finance himself by running a dubious tourist trap known as the Mystery Shack.

Stan is at first sight a wise and cunning salesman being highly manipulative, very charismatic and charming, running a tourist trap in a town with enough unsuspecting customers to sell worthless knickknacks to and take on tours of so-called "mysteries." He conducts his business with surprising flair and wit. When not planning or executing money-making schemes (both legal and illegal), he's usually at home watching television. His preferred shows include Cash Wheel, Duck-tective and period dramas. He also enjoys fishing. He is extremely loyal to anyone close to him, friends and family included.

Stan has brown eyes, bushy gray eyebrows, and messy gray hair (Both of which were brown in his youth). He usually wears a pair of rectangular glasses with a black rim. He's got a large nose and big ears, which both blush quite easily. Stan also has a perpetual five o'clock shadow covering his lower face but occasionally lets it grow out or shaves it clean. He's very burly and muscular, since his favorite hobby used to be boxing, with gray body hair.
