Ford is the opposite of his brother Stan. He is more intelligent and enjoys mind games such as Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons. Despite his intelligence, Ford is simple-minded when it comes to modern technology, as he has been away from his home dimension for thirty years and has not been able to observe technological advancements. He thinks floppy disks are still used, and questions whether children should be given crossbows. Before Ford was trapped in the portal, he was shown to be paranoid and distrustful of anyone due to Bill's deception.

Despite this, he is kind, noble, and ready to lay down his life to save his family and the city in which he lives.

Ford is very serious about his favorite thing - the study of anomalies, he sincerely loves it, even in the face of danger. Years of studying the supernatural have made him a real brave man. As Ford himself admits, nothing can surprise him anymore, even the fact that there is a UFO crashed under the city.

Being Stan's twin, Ford bears a strong resemblance to him. However, there are a few differences: Stanford is older than his brother Stanley,

Ford has darker hair with gray at the temples and has a congenital pathology - six fingers on each hand. Ford wears a light brown coat with several pockets. Under the coat, he wears a black shirt and pants. From episode 13 of season 2, Ford wears a beige shabby coat, a red turtleneck sweater and light black pants, and on his feet are brown boots. He has a bag strap slung over his shoulder.

is the author of the journals, the eldest son of Philbrick Pines, and the twin brother of Stan Pines. Like Stan, he is the great-uncle of Dipper and Mabel. His symbol on Bill's wheel is a six-fingered hand.
Ford grew up in New Jersey with his twin brother Stanley. Ford also had a genetic defect - six fingers on each hand, which led to his obsession with science fiction. Together with his brother, they often went to caves, where one day they found a broken sailboat and decided to restore it and sail away in search of treasure. Ford was often laughed at because of his six-fingered hands. He was one of the best students in school. He also went to the boxing section with Stan at the insistence of his father. One day, Ford found a dried head in the family pawnshop and brought it to school for classes. All the other students brought footballs, football trophies or books about football, and when Ford began his story, the other students began to throw all this at him. And if not for Stan, who shielded his brother with himself and punched one of the guys in the nose, Ford would have spent the rest of the school year in the hospital.

While Stan was traveling across the country in search of work, Ford entered the University of Derarward. After completing his studies, he decided to study all sorts of anomalies and found a small town where paranormal phenomena occur - Gravity Falls. Ford devoted several years to studying the anomalies of the city of Gravity Falls and wrote them down in diaries, of which there were 3 in total. Soon he wanted to know where these anomalies come from, but he reached a dead end. Later, he found notes in one cave. This is a spell to summon an all-knowing being. The inscriptions said not to read, but since he was desperate, Ford read the spell out loud, but nothing happened. Later, he had a strange dream. In this strange dream, he met an all-knowing being, who turned out to be ... Bill Cipher, and they became friends. Bill said that all the anomalies in Gravity Falls come from an anomalous dimension that flows into ours, and he offered Ford to build a universal portal, and in exchange, Bill could freely enter Ford's mind. Ford was helped in building the portal by his friend from the university, Fiddleford McGucket. Later, at Fiddleford's request, they build a bunker for storing especially dangerous specimens. There, scientists find a Shape Shifter egg, which Ford raises as a pet after hatching, but then for some reason they have to lock it in a cryogenic chamber. During a portal test, McGucket accidentally gets into it, but Ford manages to pull him out. After what he saw on the other side, McGucket leaves the project. Then Ford realizes that McGucket saw Bill's true plan. Bill and his friends want to get into our dimension and take over our planet. Then Ford turned off the portal, thereby destroying the bridge between our world and Bill's world.

Ford now writes in his journals using invisible ink. Around 1982, fearing for his life, Ford invites his brother Stan to Gravity Falls. When Stan arrives, Ford shows him the portal and gives him Journal #1 to hide. Stan is angry that they will have to be separated again after so many years and wants to burn the journal. The brothers fight, in which Stan gets burned and the portal is accidentally turned on. Stan then pushes Ford closer to the portal and is sucked in.

After his disappearance, diary #1 remained with Stan, who spent thirty long years trying to pull his brother out of the portal, diary #2 went to Gideon, and diary #3 was hidden by Ford in the forest, where it was later found by Dipper, with whose help he began to unravel the mysteries of Gravity Falls.
