Niffty

: "I really like them, Alastor. They let me put on roach puppet shows – without booing!"
: ―Niffty, about the other hotel residents
Naomi Kaneko, more commonly known as Niffty, is a sinner demon who works as both the maid and cook for the Hazbin Hotel and is one of the main characters in Hazbin Hotel.
She was summoned to work in the Hotel along with Husk by their mutual associate, Alastor.
== Appearance ==
Niffty is a small, cyclops-like demon with pointed limbs, white skin and one large eye. Her eye sports a light yellow iris, thick eyelashes, and a hot-pink sclera with a yellow gradient.
Her red-pink hair is kept into a slightly messy bob cut with swirls on each side, and a single light yellow streak located at the top. Her mouth has sharp light yellow teeth inside and black lips, and small hot-pink dots on each of the corners.
Niffty's attire is that of a black neckerchief around her neck, and a 1950s red-pink maid dress under a white apron with three hot-pink dripping splotches. She also wears long black gloves which covers most of her hands and arms, along with matching-colored tights.
== Personality ==
Niffty is hyper, spontaneous, and agile, being very quick on her feet. She is easily entertained, easily distracted, and easily excitable. She dislikes when there is a mess in any room, and has a fixation on men in general. However, she appears to only like "bad boys", having a brief obsession with Sir Pentious, but stopping frustrated that he wasn't a "bad boy" after he was forgiven. She kicked him in what is meant to be his groin for this. She isn't afraid to get dirty, and enjoys cleaning everyone's messes all with a gleeful, yet creepy charm.
She is shown to enjoy violence, as she was very ecstatic to be thrown into a warzone as part of Vaggie's trust training, and afterwards stated she enjoyed when Sir Pentious was being hit with a severed arm. Despite all of her twistiness, she does have some kind of standards for how she views who is "bad" as she outrightly berates Sir Pentious for not being a bad boy when he was apologizing for trying to kill everyone.
She appears to have masochistic tendencies, shown when she liked the pain from falling off a stage and then repeated jumping off. She is also implied to be sadistic, stating her desire to "punish" people in a BDSM dungeon. She even outright states that she kills mother-bugs in front of their baby bugs as a form of lesson.
She is also shown to suffer from camera shyness, as whenever a camera begins filming her she goes into a state of hypnotic trance where she doesn't move, blink or speak, just stares at the camera until recording is done.
Niffty has an extreme case of obsessive compulsive disorder, constantly cleaning the Hotel and obsession with ridding any bugs she sees to the point she would bring out a knife just to kill them. Even when being taken outside of the Hotel, she would be constantly cleaning any mess, even in sex clubs after Cherri Bomb takes her and the other staff and residents to for drinks, and when Angel Dust calls her a mess just for obsessive cleaning, she breaks down crying until Angel calms her down.
She is a kleptomaniac since she collects things like hair or fur from men she is obsessed with, such as when she tore off a piece of Valentino's fur to keep for her "collection".
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Natural Powers ===
* Immortality ― Like all sinners, Niffty has experienced death, and thus is incapable of dying by old age or illness.
** Nigh-Invulnerability ― Thanks to her nature as a sinner, Niffty is extremely durable and capable of surviving horrific injuries and bounce back as if nothing had happened, similar to a cockroach. When Sir Pentious blasted the doors of the Hazbin Hotel open, the doors slammed into Niffty at an extreme velocity, and she still instantly recovered with no sign of injury. However, her durability has a limit when faced with more powerful sinners; she was briefly incapacitated, singed, and coughing up blood after being struck almost head-on by one of Vox's lightning bolts, though she insisted she only needed a breather when Alastor asked if she was severely hurt.
* Fire Resistance ― When Alastor summoned Niffty from the Hotel's fireplace, she was entirely unaffected by the fire. When she and Sir Pentious were baking cookies, Niffty was unaffected by being inside the oven.
* Enhanced Agility and Speed ― Niffty is capable of rushing to her desired locations easily and is able to make her way around her surroundings with little to no effort. She also appears to not have a walking animation, as when she walks forward, she simply hops.
=== Unique Powers ===
* Compressibility ― Niffty can contort and compress her entire body. This allows her to squeeze into tight spaces in an unnatural way, such as squeezing under the Hazbin Hotel's locked doors and unlock it from inside. This makes her excellent at accessing locked-off areas and cleaning the hard-to-reach places of the hotel.
* Enhanced Strength ― Niffty is deceptively very strong, despite her small stature and lean frame. Upon arriving to the Hazbin Hotel, she lifted Charlie over her head with no effort, despite the princess being half her size. She also decimated a nearly abandoned town while slaughtering the Rippers under Alastor's orders, leaving the buildings in ruins in the process. While battling the Vees' goons, she again showed her strength by decapitating and even bisecting multiple goons with simply a knife, and punching a hole through one goon's chest to hold their heart.
* Toxin Immunity ― Niffty possesses an acquired immunity to chemical sprays and acid. It is unknown if she naturally acquired this immunity when she was reborn in Hell, or gained it through her constant exposure to chemical substances.
=== Abilities ===
* Jack of All Trades ― Niffty is shown to be talented in a handful of ways. She excels at cleaning, cooking, and sewing, and outside of work she spends time reading and writing fanfiction.
* Melee Proficiency ― She is seen using needles and knives as weapons on occasions.
* Bilingualism ― Niffty is fluent in both English and Japanese.
=== Other Characteristics ===
* Mental Illness and Disorder ― Niffty has many signs and symptoms of mental illness.
** Schizophrenia ― Niffty is schizophrenic, which causes her to experience hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.
** Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) ― Niffty also has diagnosed OCD, causing her to have several uncontrollable obsessions and compulsions, mostly about cleaning and cleanliness.
== Songs ==
