Alex Hirsch has based Dipper on himself as a child when he and his twin sister (who was the inspiration for Mabel Pines) had their experiences in Boring, Oregon. They would usually go there every summer to visit relatives. Hirsch claimed that his sister was a huge fan of the then-popular boy band [[N'Sync]] while they were growing up. Hirsch has said that Mabel is based on his twin sister, Ariel Hirsch. His sister often wore very silly, vibrant, goofy sweaters, so he made sure Mabel had a different sweater in every episode. Ariel also was a huge "fan-girl", explaining where at least a portion of Mabel's personality comes from.
Hirsch has also said that:
"[For the voices,] In terms of Mabel, I knew from the get-go that it’s got to be [[Kristen Schaal]] or there’s no show. I would have just stopped working. If we hadn't gotten her, I would have probably quit."
Alex also said on his Twitter account that Mabel is 5 minutes older than Dipper. Thus, it may explain why she is 1 millimeter taller than Dipper ("Little Dipper")
