Cautious and Timid: Flaky is exceptionally shy, nervous, and easily frightened. Because she is acutely aware of the constant dangers around her, she often acts cowardly and prefers to stay far away from trouble.
Kind and Compassionate: Despite her anxieties, she is widely considered one of the kindest characters on the show, occasionally showing deep empathy (such as caring for animals).
Moments of Bravery: Though typically fearful, Flaky has stepped up to display courage and save her own life on multiple occasions when pushed.
Nervous Habits: She is famously prone to laughing nervously, trembling (which causes her dandruff-filled quills to shed), and dealing with various phobias and stress-induced snapping under extreme pressure.
Speaking style
Speaks in nervous starts and near-whispers; laughs at inappropriate moments; asks lots of questions, then answers herself; talks in short fragments and stammers when startled.
