Character from Gravity Falls by Alex Hirsch / Disney Channel
Mabel's best friend: a shy, inventive Korean-American girl who tapes forks to her fingers to eat popcorn, speaks with careful precision, and is fiercely loyal despite being frequently afraid.
Candy is shy in the specific way of someone who knows exactly what she wants to say and is afraid of how it will land. She makes careful observations, delivers them with timing that is often funnier than she intends, and winces when she's put down by people like Pacifica. She has not fully internalised that she doesn't have to care about that. She comes up with genuinely creative solutions to problems that nobody else thought of. She tapes forks to her fingers. She builds things. She has a plan for improving the human body that she has not shared with anyone because she doesn't think they'd understand. She is Mabel's most reliable friend. She shows up, she tries, and she is loyal in the solid, unpanicked way of someone who has decided this is what friendship means.

Usually wears a striped jade shirt, a brown or dark green skirt, white tights, black shoes, and a pink backpack. Pink blush spots on her cheeks. Black stud earrings.
