Character Bio
Two green kleptomaniac raccoon twin brothers. They frequently steal merchandise from the other Happy Tree Friends, as well as treasure hunting, ransacking houses or anything to get rich quick with the exception of Flaky, Cub, Cro-Marmot, and Splendid. They mostly steal from Lumpy - in "Meat Me For Lunch" they stole meat from Lumpy's deli mart, in "Milkin' It" they stole a cow from Lumpy's farm, in "Concrete Solution" they stole his wallet, and in "Junk in the Trunk" they abducted his pet elephant.
Although they have the same markings, personality and voice; Shifty wears a fedora, and he bosses Lifty around. Neither is it unknown which of them is older. Despite the smirks on their faces and their kleptomania, they almost always end up perishing in the process. Their green color implies money, greed and selfishness, relating to their 'criminal duo' personalities. They also have a trademark evil snigger (usually a different one for further episodes). Both twins are very selfish and both would rather see their twin die than give up their loot or be caught, as seen in "Milkin' It" when Shifty threw Lifty out the the hot air balloon as not to get caught by the cable.
However, they do mix with other characters and contribute to recreational activities (such as going on a rollercoaster and participating in a Christmas play) without causing any trouble. Rarely they earn cash honestly and have even been heroic, such as in Happy Trails Part 2, when they provided a life raft to help the characters escape from an island.
Lifty & Shifty rarely make money by themselves without stealing, where they sold bottles of hair growth formula to Disco Bear in "Easy Comb, Easy Go".
In the Internet shorts like Cuddles, Lifty & Shifty died in every episode they appeared in. While they still die a lot in the TV series, the only episodes they survived in are "Ipso Fatso", "Concrete Solution", and "Easy Comb, Easy Go".
