Cutie Mark:
Location: Ponyville
Talent/Profession: Fluttershy is a very timid and shy pony and often has trouble making friends. She prefers her animal companions over other ponies and hates confrontation. She represents the element of kindness on the show. She also has a way with animals and loves caring for them. She has a soft spot for just about any animal and will help any way she can.
Powers:
Animal careIn
A Bird in the Hoof, she cares for a "sick" bird,
Philomena, with the aid of a thermometer, a stethoscope, and medicine, implying her practice in taking care of sick or wounded animals. At the beginning of the episode, there is also a mouse in a wheelchair meeting its family with a plaster cast that appears to be Fluttershy's work. Later on, she introduces Philomena to a hummingbird named
Hummingway, who has recuperated under her care. Nevertheless, her healing abilities do not extend to animals she is unfamiliar with, as her attempts to cure Philomena amounted to nothing; albeit the fact that the phoenix was really just reaching the end of her life cycle. In
Lesson Zero, she appears to be attacking a bear, but is actually giving it a rigorous massage to ease the tension in one of its shoulders.
The StareThe "Stare" in action. Fluttershy one,
cockatrice zero."The Stare" is the name given to a particular stare Fluttershy has when dealing with misbehaving animals. Rarity is the first to use this name while inquiring into Fluttershy's use of it on Opal after a grooming session, to which Fluttershy answers as to her simply having been patient with Opal.
In
Stare Master, she is first seen using it on her chickens to herd them back into the henhouse. When one of the chickens,
Elizabeak, escapes into the Everfree Forest, the Cutie Mark Crusaders go looking for it, and later Fluttershy goes looking for the Crusaders. She finds
Twilight Sparkle petrified, and later comes across the cockatrice that petrified both Twilight and the missing chicken. Fluttershy uses The Stare on the cockatrice to protect the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and even endures the transformation of being turned into stone as she does so. She triumphs against the cockatrice, which relents and restores both Twilight Sparkle and Elizabeak back to their normal states. She once again uses The Stare at the end of
Putting Your Hoof Down on
Angel after he refused to eat his carrot salad.
Physical Description: Fluttershy is a pale yellow with pastel pink hair and blue eyes. The cutie mark on her flank is a cluster of pink butterflies.
Personality: Fluttershy tends to be timd and shy and keeps her distance from other ponies. She can also be bold especially when facing a fire breathing dragon or Manticore. She also tends to be soft spoken and is often overlooked by her friends when she's trying to get them to listen. She also has a problem with saying "no" and gets roped into things she'd rather not be involved in.
History:
The episode
The Cutie Mark Chronicles offers a glimpse into Fluttershy's past. Like Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy hails from
Cloudsdale. As a filly, she was a weak flier, and was harassed by the same Pegasi who were jeering at Rainbow Dash in
Sonic Rainboom, and they nicknamed her "Klutzershy". She was taller and ganglier than the other foals, with slightly larger wings. Rainbow Dash flew in to defend her, and challenged the bullies to a race that caused the participants to unintentionally knock Fluttershy off the clouds and fall to the ground, a place she had never been to or seen before. She was saved from a rough landing by falling onto a large swarm of butterflies. Upon seeing the animals and the greenery for the first time, Fluttershy becomes overwhelmed by the beauty of it all and starts
singing. A few moments later, Rainbow Dash's
sonic rainboom startles the animals and scares them into hiding. Fluttershy earns her
cutie mark after interacting with the animals and realizing her ability to talk through to them, making her special connection with animals her sole purpose in life.
Fluttershy lives in a cottage at the edge of the
Everfree Forest and on the outskirts of
Ponyville. It appears in several episodes, including
Dragonshy,
Swarm of the Century, and
Stare Master, where it is one of the primary sets of the episode. The cottage's roof is covered in grass and is filled with runways, holes and perches for animals. In
May the Best Pet Win!, Fluttershy is delighted to hear that Rainbow Dash desires a pet and takes her to her cottage's backyard, where she presents her friend with a great variety of animals to choose from.
Much is learned about the friendship between Fluttershy and Rarity during
Green Isn't Your Color. Rarity seemingly insists that she and Fluttershy meet regularly every week at Ponyville's day spa so that Rarity could have someone to converse with and pass the time. It is noted that Rarity likes the full treatment while Fluttershy is more reserved, such as meekly declining a pony-pedi and having a mud mask applied lightly to her cheeks only while Rarity fully has the mask applied to her face along with cucumbers placed over her eyes. After getting the attention of
Photo Finish with one of her hats, Rarity's desire to increase her fame as a fashion designer causes her to ask for Fluttershy's help as a model for her presentation, saying that her graceful personality would bolster her success at impressing Photo Finish. Hesitant at first, Fluttershy ultimately agrees to model for Rarity after plenty of begging on the latter's part. She is then entitled to becoming Photo Finish's next star to promote, and participates (rather unwillingly) in various photo shoots and fashion shows in the next few scenes.
Throughout the episode, Fluttershy silently endures the attention she receives from her fans. Though unhappy with her stressful and disquieting status as Photo Finish's model, she willingly accepts her fate so as to grant Rarity's wishes for Fluttershy not to fail Photo Finish. She, however, is made unaware of Rarity's growing jealousy towards
