History
Henry grew up without any siblings, and grew up in a very hostile environment. His parents, especially his father, criticized his lack of manly attributes and his career choices and sometimes used physical violence against him. As such, by the age of twenty-five, he'd already practically estranged himself from his parents and immediate family, only keeping touch with a few relatives.
Henry moved to Gravity Falls after graduating college in order to become the town's new librarian. He met Mabel at the age of twenty-one, when Wendy introduced him to her at a party.
It wouldn't be long before the two found themselves married.
Henry didn't gain the nickname "The Woodsman" until the age of forty-two, when Dipper infused him with a dose of demonic energy to give him the ability to protect Willow while Dipper saved her life. He is temporarily transformed into a powerful, monstrous beast. The power lingers with him thereafter.
Unfortunately, it comes with the side effect of draining his lifespan. Upon Henry's death, the Woodsman becomes a separate entity entirely, staying behind to stalk the woods as Henry reentered the reincarnation cycle.
Appearance
According to his official character bio, Henry is 6'7, and has very sharp facial features, curly red hair, freckles and hazel eyes framed by dark rimmed glasses.
After becoming the Woodsman, he gains a set of moose antlers on his soul that most normal people can't see. They follow him throughout his reincarnations in a variety of forms. As the Woodsman, the hands he has cut from his victims hang from his antlers.
Personality
Henry takes care of most the cooking around the house, and enjoys reading. When he's not doing either of these things, he's most likely chasing after one or more of the kids.
A sweet-tempered individual by nature, he cares deeply for his family. He prefers to avoid direct confrontation or violence- just don't mess with the people he loves.
Relationships
Mabel Pines
Acacia Pines
It should go without saying that Henry loves his daughter. However, he often finds himself worried over her recklessness. After she loses her eye, he can't help but feel guilty, and ends up blaming himself for the incident.
