Never before has one animated character embodied as much positive energy as Gravity Falls ' Mabel Pines. As the twin of the more nervous Dipper, Mabel is the ultimate free spirit. The girl rocks Dorito earrings, bedazzles everything, and brings a sense of boundless adventure to everything she does. Sure, she's only 12-years-old, but Mabel is already a total life hero. It's not just that she does her own thing, it's that she is full of kindness and consideration for everyone and she still stands up for herself and her friends. Somehow, Mabel has this whole life thing figured out, even though she hasn't even hit high school yet.

Mabel is the perfect fictional character to draw inspiration from because she has done so much awesome stuff. Not only does she assist Dipper in his supernatural explorations, she deals with real life issues like juggling crushes, making friends, and maintaining her self-esteem. In the weird and wonderful town of Gravity Falls, no one comes close to Mabel in the cool department. She lives life on her own terms and lets her enthusiasm guide her in all things. Need more convincing that Mabel should be your newest life hero? No problem, I have come prepared with examples — just imagine they're bedazzled to make Mabel happy.
