Manly Dan

Manly Dan is a character in Gravity Falls. Wendy is his daughter. He appears to often be followed by the Cute Biker.

History
Manly Dan is first seen in The Legend of the Gobblewonker, where he is fishing with his kids. He snaps his son's fishing pole, and proceeds to catch a fish with his bare hands and beats it up, with his kids cheering him on. He is later seen running when fish start falling from the sky, yelling that they're coming for revenge.

He is next seen in Headhunters, as part of the crowd at Grunkle Stan's wax museum unveiling. He gets angry when he learns that Stan lied about giving free pizza, and punches a pole as he leaves. He is later deemed a suspect for the murder of Wax Stan by Dipper, due to the ax found at the crime scene. He and Mabel go to the bar he hangs out at and interrogate him; however, Dipper learns that he is not the culprit. Manly Dan does tell Dipper that the ax is a left-handed one, which helps Dipper narrow the suspects down to all left-handed suspects.

He is seen again in Dipper vs. Manliness, eating at the Greasy's Diner with Wendy. When Dipper fails to win a manliness tester, Dan effortlessly wins it using his pinky finger, winning all the patrons free pancakes. Then when Dipper is in the forest, Dan runs away from the beast coming their way.

Personality
Manly Dan is the proud father figure, often showing his many children how to do activities, like fishing, in his own way. Besides this, he is an emotionally unstable lumberjack.

Appearance
Manly Dan looks, as his name implies, very manly. He is extremely large and muscular, and sports a red beard, with his chest hair and armpit hair barely concealed. He wears a stereotypical lumberjack outfit.
