User blog:The Puppeteer King/Why Do People like Pacifica?

Hello Everyone, Psychoking here

Today I have been wondering why do people like Pacifica when we we all hated her from the begining.

I am going to emphasise that I am only interested in the story and jokes. The characters are only highlighted by my interest when they are starred in the episode thats when my curioisity is increased so I am gonna start the analysis. I only have one rule to this and that I am not going to mention the ship between Dipper and her because if I did it would ruin the analysis and I am only analysing the character not the one that helps her otherwise it would be self explanitory.

Well Pacifica is the descendant of the town founder Nathianel Northwest (watch Irrational Treasure to further look into it) and she is introduced in Double Dipper as Mabels rival such as being more serious and popular than Mabel and since then she has been a thorn towards Mabel until Northwest Mansion Mystery when she seen in a differently (seriously just type in Northwest Mansion Mystery Fanart in google images and you'll see my point).

Since then People (including myself) have been regarding her as the hero or a good person while some people are still saying that she is still the brat that she was from begining so I am going to analyse it so I can atleast understand.

Pacifica was seen in a different light because she is highlighted as a victim of emotional and psychological abuse, Her friends might only be with her because they are rich or hand picked by her parents or that they are friends with her because she's rich meaning that she has no real friends, her parents are highly implied to not see her as a daughter and as a tool to be used and finally she actually considers suicide by allowing the ghost to find her but she talked out of it by Dipper. These are the reasons to why people see her in a different light.

People don't trust her new hero outlook due to her previous acts such as cheating in the contest (double Dipper), humiliating Mabel (Irrational Treasure & The Golf War) and being cruel to her (Time Travellers Pig). People don't trust her due to the fact that her parents were not with her in Double Dipper and Time Travellers Pig meaning that she was being cruel out of free will not out of force.

I am not going to weigh in on either side but I am going to compare her to Robbie because Robbie is a rival to Dipper and went though character development due to Mabel getting him a girlfriend and helping him move on from Wendy. people still hate Robbie because unlike Pacifica there is no real serious abuse He comes from a happy home and has friends but he was still whining about Wendy leaving him. People changed their opinion on Pacifica because there was more serious tragedies with Pacifica than Robbie as she may not have had any "real" friends and was never loved by her parents (not to mention The Love God being the least popular episode in the series).

I hate to end it there beause I have no idea how to end it because Pacifica is seen as a tragic character in Mansion Mystery while Robbie is only whining about a problem that could of been solved single handedly without Mabel's help whereas in Mansion Mystery Dipper was needed to deal the ghost and talk her out of her suicide attempt.

That is my analysis of Pacificas fan poll and let me know what else you want me to analyse in the comments like an episode or character.
