Mallory Quicksilver is a reincarnation of Mizar who grows up with Dipper in a similar manner to the Return, Rewind, Rewrite Arc. A college student, she drops out to help run the family funeral home business after her father suffers a sudden stroke.

Though she appears to be an ordinary Mizar, it's revealed she's the criminal mastermind behind the strange events plaguing Dipper in this lifetime.

Personality

Mallory is a less friendly Mizar than those before her; prickly and jealous that she's unable to go to college, she tends to snipe at Dipper and her family. Despite this, she does care about them, and she can often be warm towards her brother.

She has a cruel streak she tries to keep hidden from them throughout the events of the story.

History

Mallory was born to two morticians who operated Quicksilver Funeral Home and Crematory in the Californian Island Federation. Mallory was a troubled teenager, often getting in fights with her parents and shoplifting with her friends, Harrison Collins and Angeline. She cared deeply about her friends and grew increasingly concerned and angry at the physical abuse Harrison experienced from his father. Knowing her parents possessed an illegal demonology book, she formulated a plan to have Alcor the Dreambender kill Harrison's father so he could stay with his mother instead. Harrison agreed to this, and Angeline agreed to help.

The night of the summoning, Angeline and Harrison snuck into Mallory's house while her parents and Dipper were away. As Alcor had sealed himself away, the summoning went wrong as another demon came through the circle and killed Angeline. Though Mallory was shocked by her friend's sudden death, she quickly formulated a plan to cremate Angeline's body and pretend she ran away, and intimidated Harrison into going along with this. Though this was successful, her relationship with Harrison had been permanently fractured and the two stopped speaking. Mallory met Gemma Gleeful later in high school.

Mallory was excited to attend college, but shortly after she began, she had to fly home and care for her father who suffered a stroke. She also needed to assist her mother with their struggling family funeral home. Growing resentful and desperate to escape this situation, Mallory turned to her old friend Harrison, who had spiraled into a life of crime after Angeline and was out on parole. She blackmailed him into robbing a local jewelry store, planning to use the profits to subsidise her father's care.

Instead, the robbery went wrong and Harrison had to secretly hide in someone's apartment using the invisibility charm Mallory provided him with. After being discovered by Dipper, Harrison fled to Mallory. Mallory, having convinced herself that he was dangerous and desperate to keep her criminal deeds from coming out, murdered him and cremated him in her family's machine.

Mallory grew increasingly volatile and paranoid. When Dipper appeared to be close to finding a clue to Harrison's disappearance, she framed his classmate Xiaofan to make it seem like she had hidden him in her apartment.

Mallory continued to struggle with the funeral home's desperate financial situation and the realities of long-term care for her father. She attempted to extort Harrison's abusive father by framing him in a similar manner to Xiaofan, but ended up murdering him in a rage. She summoned the demon Ianitor to escape from the police, and ended up being forced to dispose of any bodies he provided to her.

This effectively chained Mallory to the funeral home she was so desperately trying to escape, and ended her aspirations of returning to college. She covered up the bodies and the money Ianitor was providing by claiming she had started a lucrative online cremation service. Her parents, proud that Mallory had revived their business and was apparently excited to continue in their footsteps, made her co-owner.

Trivia
