Whiff

Whiff is a grubby green tank engine who's main task is to collect trash and scrap.

Biography
When he first came to the railway, Emily was asked to help him out. Emily was under the impression that he would be more intriguing and that the task would be more exciting; Emily was eager at first, but disappointed when she learned that Whiff worked with rubbish. Emily tried to shun being seen with him, but Whiff found her almost everywhere she went. Although they were mocked by other engines wherever they went, Whiff maintained a cheery expression and seemed either not to notice or care. He later gained his own waste dump, which he now runs with help from Scruff. One day, when Scruff's "scruncher" was broken, Whiff stayed with him at the Steamworks until he was mended. This left the rubbish dump without anyone to run it, so Gordon was put in charge for the day. Whiff requires help from time to time with his rubbish trains. Once, Thomas was supposed to help Whiff with his train, but only succeeded in crashing into the trucks at Wellsworth as Thomas was trying to stay clean for the Duchess. In the end, Whiff took the Duchess whilst Thomas cleared up the mess and took the rubbish train. Later on, Whiff tried to be as grand as Spencer by hauling heavy loads. He helped Emily and Edward by taking some of their loads, but only neglected his own job of clearing the railway of the rubbish trucks. After delivering the respective loads, Whiff carried out his work and proved once again to be really useful. One Christmas, Whiff and Scruff helped Thomas get covered in rubbish so he could play a trick on Diesel, and later attended the Earl's Christmas lunch. When Bradford arrived on Sodor, Whiff used him as his brake van to take dirty trucks filled with waste. However, Bradford refused to move as the trucks needed to be cleaned, causing Whiff to be late.

Personality
Whiff is cheerful and optimistic. He enjoys his job of collecting rubbish. He doesn't care what the other engines think about him. Despite that, he is friendly and always does his job well at the Waste Dump. He is somewhat naive, as he did not realise why the other engines tried to avoid him so much. He also knows a bit about Sudrian history.
