Hey. Sorry for the brief hiatus. Jeez, Torako. Promise yourself to decide one weekend, put it off til the Friday after Christmas to make a decision. Yeah, i'm kinda beating myself over it. The holidays and stuff. So anyways, time for the news you guys actually care about.

Currently it's tied between lalagirl16 and GrapplingHook. So, I have a tiebreaker challenge. I want you two to PM ME (i'm already in enough trouble with the eliminators, peoples) the answer to one question: Who is Mabel Pines.

Yeah. While both of you are brilliant Mabel writers and it feels like it was sweater girl herself, I think to be the best writer of a certain character you need to also understand who that character is.

To demonstrate, I'll quickly go and describe who I think Pacifica is.

Being born to the most powerful family in Gravity Falls with beauty, talent, popularity and riches, it's no surprise that vanity had sunk into this girl. Pacifica's life is perfect, and all she wants is for it too stay like that. Living in a dog eat dog world, she feels the need to get catty whenever her status is threatened one way or another. I think she may hold some value towards her friends, since she did let them be closer to Sev'ral Times than she was during the concert, as opposed to getting even more up close and personal. It said on the Northwest Coverup Document that Nathaniel was not only the supposed founder, but he was also elected as mayor. This leads me too believe that this position had been passed down the Northwest family, and her parents expect her to take over some day. This puts on the pressure to be good in school, be responsible, make smart decisions and be a good leader. This also adds to the pressure of having a good image 24/7. Living in the catty world of girl drama, Pacifica has learned to be smart and sneaky, easily manipulating others to her will and backstabbing those who oppose. Being the opposite of Mabel, Pacifica more often than not is a pessimist, spotting all the negatives easily. She is actually very stubborn, not willing to change her views easily. And her status and goals mean a whole lot more to her than dating.

That's it in a large nutshell.

Anyways, like I said before. GrapplingHook and lalagirl16 are currently tied for the role. I thank everyone else who volunteered and messaged me. It was nice chatting with you guys and seeing your writing. I'll be waiting for the PM's (and PM's only. If either of you guys do it via review, I can and probably will disqualify you. Just, do me a favor and keep me out of trouble with the eliminators) describing who Mabel is. Good Luck :)
