- “(gasp!) The bad boy is back! Never leave me again.”
- — Niffty to Pentious
Niftious is the het ship between Niffty and Sir Pentious from the Hazbin Hotel fandom.
Canon[]
Niffty was initially enamored with Pentious and enjoyed how he was a “bad boy,” upon seeing him attack the hotel and making himself appear villainous towards the Radio Demon. When meeting him at the hotel she grabs onto him and threatens him to never leave her again, making him sweat fearfully. After Pentious is redeemed by Charlie, however, Niffty gets upset and kicks him, claiming he’s lame and “not a bad boy” now.
Because of the Snake Damon's true issues, he remained fearful of Niffty and kept seeing her as the enemy. Fearing that she and the other hotel residence plan to kill him, he felt the need to point one of his weapons at her. While Niffty's sadistic personality didn't help matters, having him be disturbed by her behavior, seems to be rather annoyed by Niffty as well. With "Dad Beat Dad" having Pentious give Niffty an annoyed look after noticing that she was in the oven, without realising as he was preparing his own dish. Despite their odd interactions during the first season, however, Pentious seems to somewhat care for Niffty. After the two took part in a trust exercise that helped them to become friends with one another, as well as with the hotel's other residence. When debris is about to fall on her, he quickly ushers her to run and grabs her from harm. "Welcome to Heaven" also had Pentious look out for Niffty, as he explains to her that since their in a public club she doesn't have to clean its floor, like she does at the hotel.
When Niffty wanted to be of some help in the battle with Adam's army, in "The Show Must Go On," Pentious was glad that she asked him. Though she had trouble understanding his orders and the words he used meant, having Charlie give her a simple one she can understand. Upon witnessing Pentious being killed by Adam during the final battle, Niffty appeared to be genuinely in distraught and was notably sad. After said battle, she is seen honoring her friend's sacrifice with the others, after the hotel's reconst. While being completely unaware that Pentious was resurrected as an angel now living in Heaven, as a redeemed soul.
Fanon[]
Niftious is a rarer pair in the Hazbin Hotel fandom and not as popular as other ships such as CherriSnake for Sir Pentious. Fans enjoyed Niffty’s brief obsessive attraction towards Pentious and their somewhat positive relationship led some fans to ship them legitimately. Even though Pentious is now in Heaven, some fans of the ship are hoping that the series will still allow them to interact.
On AO3, there are currently 20 written works. Niftious also has a presence on Tumblr and DeviantArt, where half the fanwork on the ship is of their pilot designs. From how Niffty is seen lacking her apron, in the artworks of her with Pentious. Indicating that a small group of people have shipped these two, before the "Radio Killed the Video Star" episode aired on Amazon Prime. Even though their interactions in the main series didn't boost the ship's support very much, it still has a small group of loyal shippers.
