General Trivia
- According to Flaky's "Collect Them All" card, she is banned from balloon shops due to her quills.[1] She also mentions on her MySpace that she is also banned from glass shops and party shops.
- In the episode From A to Zoo, Flaky was scared of a baby chicken hopping towards her, giving the implication that she has a fear of birds. But in the episode, Take a Hike, Flaky was seen returning a baby eagle to its nest with no reservations, further implying that Flaky only has alektorophobia, which is the fear of chickens.
- Flaky is the only character who has lived in a regular house for the entirety of the series.
- Flaky likes corn dogs, as can be seen in the episodes The Wrong Side of the Tracks and Double Whammy Part I.
- In From A to Zoo and Take a Hike, every character can be heard humming the Happy Tree Friends theme song except for Flaky (possibly due to the fact that she is too nervous to sing).
- Flaky is considered a tomboy, as she seems to enjoy male-oriented or jock sports (her Smoochie is baseball-themed and she plays soccer with Cuddles in A Change of Heart. She was also the only female character in Wipe Out to try out for the surfing competition.)
- Flaky is listed as a Gemini on her MySpace home page.
- Flaky saw Lumpy naked in the original version of Let It Slide, but in the edited version, she was replaced with Giggles.
- Flaky is the tenth character to come back to life for another episode after dying, as she died in Treasure Those Idol Moments and appeared again Hide and Seek.
- Originally in the episode Flippin' Burgers, she was going to be behind the grill instead of Petunia, which can be seen on the Second Serving DVD commentary.
- Flaky laughs nervously in almost every episode she appears in.
- She is the first character to break the fourth wall, as her eyes slowly dart towards the viewer as she laughs nervously in Water You Wading For.
- She is the only female character to survive her debut with no ill consequences (Petunia and Lammy both survived theirs but both received injuries.)
- Some fans believe that she is in a relationship with Flippy, despite how they have killed each other.
- Coincidentally, both times where they have killed each other were intentional (Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark and Without a Hitch).
- Flaky is the character most paired up with other characters in fanart, possibly due to the fact that she is one of the only four females in the show.
- Flaky seems pigeon-toed at many times, usually when she is nervous. However, it will occasionally happen when she is not nervous, scared, or shocked, most noticeably in The Wrong Side of the Tracks, when she is walking with Cuddles to the roller coaster.
- Flaky was originally the girl scout in You're Bakin' Me Crazy instead of Giggles.
- Flaky has psoriasis, a disease that involves flaking of the scalp.
- Flaky has been called both a male and female in Blurb episodes, most likely to confuse people about her true gender.
- The term "flaky" also refers to someone who has a tendency to back out of situations and to "flake out" of something means to wimp out, perfectly fitting Flaky's personality.

- She co-stars with Flippy more than any other character.
