Getup the Giraffe (voiced by Susan Sheridan in the United Kingdom and Linda Ballantyne in the United States) is Stripey's black-eyed best friend, with brown hair on her long neck, although she is still close friends with the other four shelf animals. Getup often falls over, (mostly onto her tummy) hence the name Getup. In the UK dub, she speaks with a broad English accent. She was originally male in Ivy Wallace's books.
