I used to be shifty eyed in math class because at any opportunity I'd nap in class. People said I came off as a shifty character aswell from causing general mayhem. (I found a cockroach and kicked it at a girl who then threw it back. I flung it towards the dude who was afraid of bugs. He started stuttering "A-A-A BUG!" and start throwing stuff at it).
I was going to make a new gamertag and couldn't land a Shifty Character. Stranger was within the letter limit.
