Soos Ramirez

Jesus "Soos" Alzamirano Ramírez is an employee and current owner of the Mystery Shack. He was born in Gravity Falls, Oregon on July 13, 1990. He is an awkward young man who works at the Mystery Shack. The tritagonist of Gravity Falls, Dipper and Mabel Pines sometimes include Soos in their adventures. He is the "question mark" on The Zodiac.

Personality
Soos is an idiotic, fat, friendly, and buck-tooth employee whose desire to be where the action is makes him an excellent resource for the twins when they need a ride around town. Aside from the twins, he is one of the only people around who sees and believes all the strange things happening in Gravity Falls, as seen in "Tourist Trapped", when he says he is always noticing weird stuff in Gravity Falls, an assertion he makes in other episodes.

While he frequently shows an eager, inquisitive, and childish nature, Soos knows when to drop the act and be an adult, such as when he, Mabel, and Dipper encountered the Gobblewonker, where he carried both of them and outran it. He has good relationships with Dipper and Mabel, though Dipper becomes irritated with him at times, such as in "Land Before Swine", when he is clumsy and he does not see the problem. He is also very humorous. He is addicted to pressing the cackling skulls at the Summerween Superstore and believes that the inflatable ducks from the pool can talk. This gives proof of his childish and naïve nature.

Appearance
Soos wears a light brown cap, has light peach fair skin, and buck teeth, similar to those of a beaver. He's stocky and wears dark brown shoes, beige shorts and a jade green-ish gray shirt with a big dark green poorly painted question mark on the front and the word "Staff" on the back, which is from the Mystery Shack. He also owns one other shirt that looks just like his trademark shirt, only without the word "staff" or a question mark. He also has a double chin and has a few hairs on his face that he glues on himself. He has short light brown hair that is styled similar to Dipper's, which is shown in "Little Dipper." His neck is wider than his head, or so it appears. It seems to be obscured by his double chin. In Journal 3, Ford describes Soos as looking like a creature from a dimension he once visited.

Trivia

 * The name "Jesús" is the Spanish version of "Jesus". This was used in Mabel's Guide to Dating, when he said he was the "world's most perfect man," and when he helped random strangers during Weirdmageddon.
 * TV captions often misspell his name as "Zeus".
 * In the official Gravity Falls: Journal 3 book, Dipper and Ford also misspelled his name as "Zeus", but Ford crossed it out as an error.
 * He is Employee of the Month at the Mystery Shack.[14]
 * He claims to have learned everything from video games.[13]
 * Soos thinks the mailman is a werewolf.[9]
 * Soos works for free, as revealed in "Double Dipper."
 * Despite this, in “Carpet Diem”, Stan mentions that he does pay Soos and gives him a raise.


 * Soos is based on Jesús Chambrot, a friend of Alex Hirsch while a student at Cal Arts University.[1]
 * Soos' middle and last names are a reference to storyboard artist Alonso Ramirez Ramos.
 * There is a cryptogram in Rumble's Revenge that appears to refer to him, implying he knows more than he's letting on which was also implied by Bill in "Dreamscaperers".
 * In an interview with the "Gravity Falls Gossiper" podcast, during which Alex Hirsch voiced Stan, he mentioned that when Soos has a blanket over his head, he falls asleep, like a canary.[8]
 * Soos has nightmares about a British dog man.[4]
 * Soos practiced martial arts (apparently Karate) when he was younger, as seen in a picture at Abuelita's home.[22]
 * Soos' other role model besides Stan and his Abuelita is professional wrestler Terry America, who played the character Eddie Chicago in the movie KICKBOSS.[23]
 * Soos hides his stash of "Cute Janitor Girls!" magazine in the Mystery Shack gift shop.[24]
 * He keeps a picture of Stan on his break room door.[25]
 * Soos' computer password[5] and pick-up truck's license plate[17] is "FIXINIT1," which is based off of his self-made series of shorts, Fixin' It with Soos.
 * Soos' license plate, like Stan's, has 8 characters, even though in Oregon, the maximum legal limit is 6 characters.
 * Soos stores candy inside his belly button.[26]
 * He writes fan fiction about Stan.[26]
 * Soos has not seen his dad since he was four.[3]
 * He is an organ donor.[3]
 * He, Stan, Dipper, Mabel, and Agent Powers are the only characters to directly kill a creature, while other creatures were incapacitated or ran away.
 * He is the only main character without a criminal record (Dipper and Mabel were sent to jail for counterfeiting. Stan has had countless encounters with the police and is an international criminal, Ford is a wanted fugitive across several universes, and Wendy and her friends once stole a police car).
 * His father is Caucasian and his mother is Hispanic.[12]
 * His Hispanic surname suggests he took his mother's last name.
 * Despite being viewed as a man-child by Stan, Soos has developed into a secondary guardian of the twins, even protecting them from harm, such as the Gobblewonker and Stan in "Not What He Seems."
 * Soos is Alex Hirsch's favorite voice to record.[27]
 * Soos was born on Friday 13th.[3]
 * Hirsch has suggested that while Soos may be aware of secrets surrounding the Mystery Shack and Gravity Falls, he is likely not even conscious he possesses this knowledge.[28]
 * He has been called a "large hairless gopher" by Ford and possible others, saying "he gets that a lot".
 * In Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets, it is revealed that his favorite RPG is SwordBirth: Age of Swords: Rise of the Swordians.


 * Soos doesn't remember what his father looks like, so he imagines him with the body of a pro wrestler and a face that he once saw on a hot sauce bottle.[29] He also imagines him as Latino, despite the fact that his father is Caucasian.
 * In the Canadian French dub of Gravity Falls, Soos' name is changed to "Mousse."
 * When in Stan's mindscape, one of the memories that Dipper saw was Stan teaching a young Soos how to box.[30]


 * His favorite anime is Neon Crisis Revelations Angry Cute Girl: Annihilation.[31]


 * In the official Gravity Falls: Journal 3 book, Soos was under quarantine by Ford due to his exposure to portal radiation. During his initial quarantine, he noticed some unique characteristics and finally wrote its entry on the journal. Here are some of his findings:
 * Hair Growth appears in strange, awkward patches. Is he a man? Is he a Baby?
 * Evidence of autolysis suggests that he has survived a zombie bite. When I brought this up, he laughed and said, "That was one crazy party, dude."
 * Giggles when prodded.
 * Seems to have consumed a nearly INFINITE amount of pizza.
 * After reading the back of a japanese video game, it's suggested that he can read kanji.
