## Character Bio

### HTF Canon

Shifty and his brother Lifty are two green kleptomaniac raccoon identical twin brothers with dark green mask-like markings around their eyes. They frequently steal merchandise and produce from the other Happy Tree Friends (thus their names). They also hunt for treasure, ransack houses, or do anything to get rich quick. They mostly steal from Lumpy (in *Meat Me for Lunch* they steal meat from Lumpy's deli mart, in *Milkin' It* they steal a cow from Lumpy's farm, in *Concrete Solution* they steal his wallet, and in *Junk in the Trunk* they abduct his pet elephant). They probably rob Lumpy so frequently because his lack of intelligence and common sense makes him an easy target and how Lumpy is shown to be quite wealthy.

Although they have the same gender, appearance, and personality, Shifty wears a fedora and often bosses Lifty around. Despite the smirks on their faces, they almost always end up dying in the episodes in which they appear. They also have a trademark evil snicker (usually a different one for later episodes). Like most siblings, Shifty argues with his brother about who is at fault it is when something goes wrong, but when trouble is afoot, they work together. Shifty has been known to betray Lifty at some points, as seen in *Milkin' It* when Shifty threw Lifty out of a hot air balloon as not to get caught by a power line. Also, in *Sea What I Found*, Shifty had a chance to save Lifty, but instead just stole the jewels. In *Easy For You to Sleigh*, he abandons Lifty when the latter gets caught in a trap.

Despite their disagreements, they show brotherly love towards each other in some episodes, including *The Wrong Side of the Tracks*, in which they are paired up together while riding on Lumpy's theme park roller coaster, *Sea What I Found*, in which they play chess together while waiting underwater, *As You Wish*, in which they hug each other happily (first when being saved from falling to their deaths, then when having their wishes granted), and *Gems the Breaks*, in which they glance at each other lovingly while testing the kryptonut on Splendid.

Lifty and Shifty rarely have a starring role within the series and is one of least occurring but most common characters within the series, alongside characters like Mime or Disco Bear. However, despite this, Lifty and Shifty star quite often within the TV Series, having the third most amount of starring roles. Overall, Shifty and Lifty appear quite often within the TV series, and even when they don't play a starring role, they somewhat serve as the episodes' de-facto main antagonist.

The duo has one of the more disputed and interesting origins out of the cast despite not being very major characters in the series. Shifty was created way before the series was even made, predating even Cuddles' creation. His original design was actually that of a squirrel, and he would have objects within his fur. Of course, later in the development, he was changed to a raccoon. When the concept of the series was created, the creators decided to give Shifty a partner, who is Lifty.

Despite their numerous illegal activities, they sometimes contribute to recreational activities (such as going on a roller coaster and participating in a Christmas play) without causing any trouble. On rare occasions they earn cash honestly and have even been heroic, such as in *Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark*, where they provide a life raft to help the characters escape from an island.

Both have proved to be physically capable, as they lift an elephant (with Cuddles' help) in *Junk in the Trunk*, lift a cow effortlessly in *Milkin' It*, and physically overpower Giggles and Petunia in *Gems the Breaks*. While Shifty is known to boss Lifty around, Shifty is overpowered by Lifty in *Who's to Flame?*.

Lifty & Shifty occasionally make money by themselves without stealing, like when they sell dogs that go crazy when they hear a whistle in *Doggone It* and when they sell bottles of hair growth formula to Disco Bear in *Easy Comb, Easy Go*. They also trade or sell things to Nutty, such as in *Dunce Upon a Time* and the *Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm (episode)* (although it could be that these were stolen prior to the episode).

Lifty & Shifty die a lot due to their lack of teamwork and their greed. Like Cuddles, Petunia, and Sniffles, they tend to die some of the messiest deaths in the series. When they do, their deaths involve machines/vehicles, being mashed together or sliced apart, impalement, or some form of heat. In the internet shorts, Lifty & Shifty die in every episode they appear in. In the TV series, they survive in *Ipso Fatso*, *Concrete Solution*, and *Easy Comb, Easy Go*. They both survive in *Happy New Year*. It is also possible that they survive in *Happy Trails Pt. 1*, as they are on the island with the surviving characters in part 2, but are not seen in part 1. He is the only character who die in every episode that he has a starring role in.

He and Lifty both seem to have an unusual desire for meat, as can be seen in *Meat Me for Lunch*, *Ipso Fatso*, *And the Kitchen Sink*, *Milkin' It*, *Dunce Upon a Time*, and their TV series title card. This at least makes more sense than Lumpy's love of meat, since real-life raccoons (unlike moose) do eat meat. They also have a knack for car building, being able to assemble/reassemble a car in *Junk in the Trunk* and maintaining their own race car in *Wheelin' and Dealin'*.

## Trivia

* Although they are identical twins, Lifty's voice is slightly higher pitched than Shifty's voice. This has led some to believe that he is the younger of the two. However it was confirmed by Kenn Navarro that they were both born at the same time. Although The Voice For Shifty Is Steven In MMC X HTF Because Of This Message.
* Shifty's MySpace Profile claims in Shifty's marital status that he is currently in a relationship. The page also states that he and Lifty are both 28 years old, though this is probably just a throwaway gag.
* He drives the raccoon twins' van in a majority of the episodes. Lifty, on the other hand, seems to be the mechanic of the duo, as in a few episodes he is seen working on their van or vehicle.
* Lifty and Shifty have at times said "Uh-oh!" when something goes wrong.
* His and Lifty's laugh is unique to them. Most other HTFs either giggle or laugh.
* Despite being better known for trying to steal money and other valuable items, Lifty and Shifty have tried to steal food eight times in: Meat Me for Lunch, Milkin' It, Swelter Skelter, Easy For You to Sleigh (in which they stole both), Buns of Steal, And the Kitchen Sink, Ipso Fatso, and Cheesy Does It. By comparison, they only tried to steal money or valuables six times in: Sea What I Found, Easy For You to Sleigh, As You Wish, Gems the Breaks, Concrete Solution, and Who's to Flame?.
	+ This could further support the theory that they steal out of necessity instead of greed.
* According to the "Collect Them All" section, Shifty has a gambling problem.
* Shifty is usally considered the slightly older character, and more evil.
* Both Lifty and Shifty appear in a crossover fan series Leena + Friends, in the Filming Disaster episode.
	+ He have A girlfriend named Shiftette But That Might Change To Katrine In A Future Episode, Or MMC Vs HTF Battle Royale If Push Comes To Shove.
* He (Along With Shifty) have a younger adopted female sibling named Nifty.
* He (Along With Shifty) Worked With Tiger General In The HTF Comic Sweet Lullaby
