Character Bio

A red porcupine whose quills are full of dandruff, thus the name. Flaky is one of the more popular characters in series and has the identifiable personality of being a very shy and timid character and she is also afraid of chicks. However, Flaky's personality is often misunderstood by both some of the fans and even those around her. For instance, Flaky will try to rescue the character that is in danger but Flaky can't muster up the courage to do so.
Flaky has often been viewed as a coward. However Flaky's actions in both the internet shorts and the TV series go against this as she had been brave and in several occasions and had saved her own life several times. Additionally, when hanging around with Cuddles, Flaky is often forcefully dragged into situations that lead to both their demises, despite her warning Cuddles about possible dangers that could occur.
Flaky is a helpful character, as evidenced by a couple of the TV episodes. All these factors suggest that Flaky is not only overly cautious (as opposed to being a coward), but also one of the more intelligent and kind characters of the series (for example daring to organize a surprise birthday party for Flippy, a character who is well-known for being mentally unstable). However, as seen in the episode ''Snow Place to Go'' she herself is somewhat unstable - near the end of the episode she turns slightly insane and makes a companion with a garden gnome after being trapped in the arctic with no food or civilization.
In "Party Animal", it is revealed that she is allergic to peanuts, as she gets a purple rash, big lips, and bloats like a balloon. She also has a fear of flying, and is prone to vomiting. The fact she is a porcupine often causes trouble - her quills often impale other characters and destroy objects unintentionally. Also she excessive dandruff has sometimes been exploited by other characters, and is likely the reason why Disco Bear never flirts around her. In the ''Second Serving'' DVD, she was given her own breakfast cereal called ''Flaky Flakes'', which resemble cornflakes with red and white pieces mixed in.
Flaky's first and third kills were done after she gets sent to her death. From the episode, "Rink Hijinks", when Disco Bear pushes her, she falls onto Lumpy's floor buffer, causing her quills to fly out of control and piercing Disco Bear to death. And from "Party Animal", after she got popped like a balloon by the Mole, her quills poked him to the wall. Her second kill is from "Let It Slide", because Lumpy accidentally turned off the water, she puts her quills all over the water slide, separates the water slide and dies, and later on when Cuddles goes onto it he died, sliced in two by the separated slide, so we can say that Flaky killed Cuddles.
Many fans assume that Flaky is a male. But according to Mondo Media, it states that Flaky is a female character even though she doesn't have eyelashes like Giggles and Petunia do. Her gender has caused much confusion; even the Happy Tree Friends website is ambiguous to her true gender, but most of the creators refer to Flaky as a female. This is most obvious in the DVD commentaries where they regularly refer to Flaky as a "she", such as the commentary for "And the Kitchen Sink".
In the "Collect Them all" section it reveals that she was banned from balloon shops due to her quills.
