All About: Fluttershy

Fluttershy


Fluttershy is a yellow Pegasus pony and is one of the main characters / mane ponies of 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. The voice behind Fluttershy is Andrea Libman, although in the episode 'Bridle Gossip' the voice behind 'Flutterguy' is Blu Mankuma.

Fluttershy is a very shy, polite and soft-spoken pony that just adores animals and has an ability to be able to talk to them. Her home is a cottage on the edge of Everfree Forest on the outskirts of Ponyville. Fluttershy and her many animal friends live there where she tends to their needs daily as the cottage has a lot of nooks and crannies for the birds, mice, and other animals to have fun in. Fluttershy has a pet bunny named Angel who is always there to push and support her. Although Angel may be her pet, Fluttershy doesn't like to call Angel or any of her other animal friends a 'pet'. Her personality revolves around kindness, making her perfect for the representing pony of the Element of Kindness.

Several episodes depict Fluttershy's natural talent of being kind, empathetic and understanding between animals. In the first episode of the show, 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Part 2)' where Fluttershy and her friends, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity seek out The Elements of Harmony, Fluttershy show's kindness to a raging manticore that everypony got ready to attack. She gently walked up to the manticore and pulled out a thorn in his paw which was the reason for his rage. Also in the episode of 'Dragonshy', Fluttershy admits her fear of big, scary dragons and doesn't have the guts to talk to it. But when she sees that the dragon hurt her friends, she stood up to him and making him cry from her harshness, but gently calming him in the end, telling him to move to a different sleeping spot.

Fluttershy has a move which Rarity named, "The Stare" in an episode where Rarity asked Fluttershy is she used 'The Stare' on her pet cat, Opal. 'The Stare' is when Fluttershy gives a powerful stare that has the ability to 'control' or settle down misbehaving animals like her chicken up to her pet bunny, Angel. Fluttershy doesn't really like using 'The Stare' though and only uses it during sire situations.

Although Fluttershy is very sweet and soft-spoken and is very patient with things that the other ponies can't handle, she actually has a hidden side of her where she gets really angry. Like in the episode of 'The Best Night Ever', she slowly becomes frustrated when the animals in Canterlot's Castle garden ignore her making her burst into anger and force the animals to love her in the end. Also in other episodes like 'The Return of Harmony Part 2' and 'Power Ponies' while in the episode 'Putting Your Hoof Down' , Fluttershy learns how to say no and become violent and aggressive when she get's motivational advice from the manly Minotaur, Iron Will. By the end of the episode, Fluttershy goes back to normal.

Other than her amazing veterinary and animal caregiver talent, Fluttershy has other talents like being able to sew where Applejack even calls her expertise "freaky" as she helps Rarity finish a dress in the episode 'Suited for Success'. Another amazing talent of Fluttershy is her singing and music talent which is first seen in the first episode, 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Part 1)' as she has a rehearsal with her bird friends for the Summer Sun Celebration. She has musical numbers in other episodes and hums some themes in other episode. She is also the music provider in the episode for the wedding in 'A Canterlot Wedding (Part 1)'.

Fluttershy's Cutie Mark is three pink butterflies. They probably represent her gentleness which can be compared as the gentleness and fragility of a butterfly, and of course represent her love of animals and all the little forest creatures. Fluttershy's cutie mark story is shown in a flashback during the episode 'The Cutie Mark Chronicles'. The same as Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy comes from the city of Cloudsdale. Even as Fluttershy was a filly, she has always been a weak flier and has always been bullied. Ironically, the same Pegasi that were messing with Rainbow Dash in the episode 'Sonic Rainboom' were the same Pegasi that bullied Fluttershy as a filly and called her "Klutzershy". Fluttershy has always been different as she was taller, ganglier, and had tad larger wings than the other foals. The time when Rainbow Dash defended Fluttershy by challenging the bullies to a race, the participants accidentally knocked Fluttershy off the clouds, falling to the ground. Thankfully, a swarm of butterflies prevented Fluttershy from having a rough fall. When Fluttershy reached the ground, she was amazed by all the new things and greenery since it was her first time on the ground, making her start to sing. Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom then startles the animals into hiding. Fluttershy then gently calms and comforts the animals, realizing her talent of being able to talk to animals in return. Realizing her special connection with animals, Fluttershy then receives her cutie mark.
