Flaky[]
Flaky
Flaky, a 19-year-old Caucasian character, stands out in the series with her unique appearance, sporting white Japanese-style crossed hairclips. Despite living in constant danger of brutal deaths, as is the case for all Happy Tree Friends, Flaky possesses a cautious and timid personality. She is often perceived as a coward and exhibits shyness in many situations. However, Flaky's actions in both the internet episodes and TV series sometimes contradict this perception, as she has shown bravery and saved her own life on multiple occasions. In fact, Flaky is considered one of the kindest characters on the show, displaying compassion by rescuing a baby bird in the episode "Take a Hike." She is frequently seen in the company of Lumpy, Sniffles, and Cuddles. While spending time with Cuddles, Flaky often finds herself forcefully dragged into perilous situations that result in both of their demises, despite her warnings about potential dangers. This can be observed in episodes such as "Water You Wading For," "Let It Slide," and "The Wrong Side of the Tracks." Flaky exhibits some degree of mental instability, as demonstrated in the episode "Snow Place to Go," where she descends into madness and treats a garden gnome as her companion after being trapped in the Arctic without food or civilization. This behavior is further seen in "Without a Hitch," where she experiences fear-induced hallucinations throughout the episode, eventually leading her to mistakenly stab Flippy in the eye in a self-defense illusion. In the episode "Party Animal," it is revealed that Flaky has a peanut allergy. Additionally, she is prone to vomiting, typically triggered by her fear of heights and flying, as seen in the episode "Wingin' It." Flaky has been killed by almost every character in the series, including Sniffles, Handy, Toothy, Nutty, Flippy, Cuddles, Pop, Mime, and The Mole. Her deaths often involve breathing difficulties, mutilation, burning, or consumption. Despite this, Flaky has managed to survive in episodes such as "Water You Wading For," "Out of Sight, Out of Mime," "I Get a Trick Out of You" (only heard, not seen), "Happy Trails Pt. 1," "Something Fishy," "Random Acts of Silence," "Stealing the Spotlight" (subject to debate), "From A to Zoo" (subject to debate), and "The Chokes on You" (subject to debate). In the TV series, she survives episodes like "The Wrong Side of the Tracks," "Ipso Fatso," "A Change of Heart," "Double Whammy Part I," "Easy Comb, Easy Go," and "Disco Bears It All."
Flaky is one of the most popular characters in the series and has the personality of being a very cautious, timid and wise character. And as evidenced in Snow Place to Go, she may also have necrophobia (fear of death/dying) and possibly a fear of sharks. She likes cooking based on the episode "Party Animal". She also loves playing baseball based on her smoochie and some episodes, and being with her friends (although she still keeps her cautious and timid self). She is somehow (mysteriously) in love with chickens and/or baby chicks, based on her interaction with the animals in the episode "From A to Zoo". She also has an acrophobia (the fear of heights) based on the episode "Ski Ya! Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya!". All of her phobias are later cured.
