Slight revamp info below! Definitely worth a read for some updated info about the Journals!
So, in my effort to come back to this blog, I wanted to spruce some more basic details up.
As it stood, journals 1, 2, and 3 were named Eva, Levy, and Judith, respectively. While I stand by Eva and Judith, Levy was definitely a product of who I was when I first named her. In an effort to stick with the theme of her sisters, I have decided to go with Lilith. But, she may often be referred to as Lith, as I know there is likely a large overlap between GF fans and HH/HB fans. It also just fits the vibe of her going against the grain.
Previously the lineup had been Hayley Atwell, Mary Winstead, and Raffey Cassidy, the latter changed shortly before my hiatus. I still like Hayley and Mary for Eva and Lith, but Abby Ryder Fortson is a much better fit for Judith.
Finally, overall character portrayal.
This is more or less going to be a section of info about each journal, and where I could see them if we are imagining a "next summer" scenario.
As journal number one and the assumed eldest, Eva is a protector, though her intentions may not be quite right. She has a heavy allegiance to Ford, her author, and Stan, the brother she was stuck with for several decades. While she still plays a maternal/nurturing role to the twins and Judith, her dedication to the brothers can blind her. In a high stress situation, her first instinct would be to protect Ford and Stan, everyone else is secondary. She is eloquent and charming, speaking with a "proper" English accent; a characteristic she earned by reruns of stuffy British films and shows with Stan. She is neat and orderly, with a penchant for alphabetical organization. She also has a shorter fuse than her sisters, with a more physical approach to fighting. Coming from early on in Ford's stay in Gravity Falls, her knowledge of the oddities in town are surface level. She is only the first few chapters of a much longer story, after all.
Following the end of the summer, she went with the brothers. She stays back most of the time, content to watch them reacquaint themselves and journaling her own experiences. However, she will play mediator between them in arguments. She understands both of their intentions well and can easily play the advocate for either.
Journal two and the textbook middle sibling, Lilith goes against the grain on purpose, ruffling feathers wherever and whenever she can. While she views Ford as her creator, she has very little care for this fact. He has just as much of a claim to her as Gideon Gleeful, and she'd punt him across the Pacific if given the chance. Written at the peak of his relationship with Bill, Lith is more attuned to the weird and dangerous side of town. She has no ties to anyone in town, and does her best to not follow the chaotic call of Bill Cipher, though somedays, things seem a little too normal. As an unfortunate side effect of spending time around Gideon, Lilith speaks with a southern drawl, putting sugar on her sour words. She is cunning and manipulative, completely capable ripping Gravity Falls apart without a Triangle on her side. She doesn't fight physically unless the situation calls for it. But she is not above finding out your biggest flaw and digging in.
After summer ends, she leaves town, traveling along the Pacific coast. Most women her age wouldn't dare hitchhike along the west coast, the dangers being too great. But the few who have tried to pull anything on her were quick to learn she was far more dangerous.
The third journal and final sister, Judith is clearly the youngest of the bunch. While the others formed as adult women, she manifested as a girl of about 13; the same age as Dipper and Mabel Pines were the summer they uncovered Journal 3 from Ford's hiding place. While she adopted a keen sense of adventure and some frightening resilience, she is often plagued with paranoia; a shrill, hauntingly familiar voice nagging at the back of her mind. He's always there. To block it out, she's always trying to learn. Whether that is a habit rubbed off on her by Dipper, or of her own merit has yet to be decided. Judith is easily the most loyal among the three, though her loyalty has limits. Her trust has limits. Unlike Eva and Lith, Judith views Ford less as a contemporary, and more as a father. While she yearns for this connection, she feels a sense of duty to stay away and give him time with his brother. When it comes to fighting, it takes a lot to get Judith to fight back. Her most common technique is running away. She is afraid of what she's capable of if she doesn't.
While Eva and Lith leave at the end of summer, Judith stays in Gravity Falls, moving into the attic room and attending school. She gets regular correspondence from her sisters, but it leaves much to be desired. She appreciates the company of Soos and Melody, however, and does what she can around the shack. And one day, while she was cleaning up, she found a strange book she had never seen before. A book with a very familiar symbol on the cover. A book that called to her. The Book of Bill.
