#Personality ;
Fluttershy’s major attribute is her almost crippling introversion. While she is a capable of conversing with her friends, she has a very difficult time speaking to ponies that she has never met before. Her inhibitions are so strong that she has trouble introducing herself. Even when pressed, she has difficulty looking a new pony in the eyes. With her friends, she is willing to talk, but it is more similar to practice of active listening, affirming what the other pony is saying and asking questions that she doesn’t feel could possibly be seen as confrontational.
Fluttershy would rather give up her own opinion than have an argument to defend her views. This works well when the other pony isn’t looking for some other pony’s opinion in the first place, but when more specific feedback is requested, it can lead Fluttershy into having to backtrack or beat around the bush with platitudes. If prodded, her views will come out bluntly. This off the cuff style is reminiscent of the fact that she had never intended to share it in the first place.
Even when she speaks to non-sapient animals, Fluttershy is very polite and respectful. She adores interacting with all of the world’s species, although she is terrified of adult dragons and needs more motivation than simple curiosity to go anywhere near them. She enjoys her position as an animal expert and finds comfort in grooming and caring for her small charges, even when they aren’t in good moods.
#History ;
Fluttershy was born and spent much of her young life in Cloudsdale. As a child, she had an awkward appearance and was a weak flier. For these reasons, she was often made fun of by the other residents of Cloudsdale, often called names like “Klutzershy.” These behaviors coupled with her natural aversion to confrontation caused her to become extremely shy. Fluttershy was eventually saved from this repetitive cycle when Rainbow Dash challenged her tormentors to a race. If Rainbow Dash won, they would have to stop picking on Fluttershy. However, she wasn’t saved because Rainbow Dash defeated the other ponies, but by being accidentally knocked off of the clouds.
She fell down to Earth, her fall not crippling her due to a mob of butterflies cushioning her landing. For the first time, she saw land animals and plants. The beauty of nature stunned her, causing such a strong reaction that the shy pony sung out. The animals were soon startled by a loud, sonic rainboom related sound, but Fluttershy was still able to discover her special talent, developing her cutie mark at the same time. She began to devote her life to caring for every animal, small and large.
Her natural skills in the area made things a lot easier for her, but the process also took a lot of practice and studying in order to know about each animal’s specific needs and preferences. To suit this path, Fluttershy took up permanent residency in Ponyville, a town originally founded by Earth ponies. She even convinced Rainbow Dash to do the same. Over time, the people of Ponyville came to know Fluttershy as a caring and trustworthy person that they could rely upon to take care of their pets and the animals that lived around Ponyville.
Years later, Fluttershy was put in charge of the musical arrangement of an important party in Princess Celestia honor. During one of the rehearsals, she met Twilight Sparkle, a student of Princess Celestia. Fluttershy wouldn’t have said a full sentence to the other pony if she hadn’t seen Spike, Twilight Sparkle’s baby dragon assistant. In her excitement, she practically interviewed Spike and learned about his entire life in the span of a single walk.
From that point, Fluttershy became part of Twilight Sparkle’s circle of friends and became friends with the other ponies Twlight had met upon the way. She became especially close to Rarity, with whom she had a stable weekly get together.

“Angel, you know we need to go home soon, it’s going to get dark…” Fluttershy said as she followed after her small charge. Of all of the animals she took care of, Angel was definitely one of the stronger willed. If she didn’t know better, she would have believed that Angel was totally ignoring her as he continued down the road. Whatever it was that he wanted to show her must have been important, but they couldn’t just stay out all night.
“All of the birds have already stopped singing and went to sleep, we shouldn’t be too far behind them.” Her tone remained soft, but there was no mistaking that she was becoming more anxious as he sun rolled further down the horizon and the shadows grew taller. But the small rabbit didn’t miss a beat as he continued walking, ever faithful to his mission.
Fluttershy looked around to get an idea of what must be so important. Even if it was only a little further, at least part of the walk home would be after the sun had completely set. Perhaps it was the dim lighting, but Fluttershy couldn’t see anything interesting enough that it couldn’t wait until morning. “We can always come back tomorrow…”
Finally, Angel stopped and looked back at her. The pegasus’ head tilted in time with the rabbit’s as they stared at each other. The moment didn’t last long as Angel darted into a nearby bush, startling Fluttershy with the abrupt nature of the action. “Ah, A-Angel come back,” she called out, which in reality was a little quieter than her normal speaking voice.
To her relief, the young rabbit was soon back in her view, but he wasn’t alone. Inside a basket he was dutifully pushing was a small hedgehog. Fluttershy trotted closer to the pair and quickly realized that the hedgehog was hurt. She gasped at the state of the little creature’s leg. “Oh no! Don’t worry Mr. Hedgehog, I’ll take care of you. Thank you for bringing me here, Angel.” She grasped the basket with her teeth as Angel climbed on her back. Once they were back at her house, she would be able to treat Angel’s new friend.
