Buttercup Utonium

Buttercup Utonium, also known as Buttercup, is a character from The Powerpuff Girls series.
== Charactah Account ==
Buttercup has the green outfit and black hair. She's a tomboy, and the most aggressive and confrontational of the girls, representing spice. She has gained a reputation among the bad guys of Townsville as the most vicious of the trio, always ready to brawl. Unlike her sisters, she doesn't have a unique ability (to her chagrin).
Referred to in the ending theme as "the toughest fighter," Buttercup is the group's tough member and is easily enraged. Sometimes this, and her aggression, get the better of her, making her a little reckless and stubborn (but she overcame it in "Makes Zen to Me"). However, as displayed in "Bubblevicious", she has enough control so as to not go "overboard" on innocent civilians like Bubbles did, no matter how trivial the offense.
Buttercup also showed a greedy side in "Moral Decay," to which she knocked out teeth for the sole purpose of obtaining money. She has shown these sides, and a softer side in several episodes. For example, in the episode "Cover Up," she had a soft green blanket that she was obsessed with that she would hug that gave her the confidence to be a better fighter, and she is quite protective over her sisters. In "The Rowdyruff Boys," she has a tremendous disdain for resorting to kissing the boys in order to eliminate them, though willingly kisses a boy ridden with what she feared to be "cooties" in the episode "Cootie Gras"

== Trivia ==
* Even though she is named after a buttercup flower, her signature color is green instead of yellow.
* In her interview for the movie, she said that her favorite villain she likes to beat up is Rocko Socko. She also claims to be wearing a blonde wig in scenes where Bubbles has a lot of action.
* Considering the blonde's reaction to it, the latter statement is most likely meant as a hyperbolic joke stemming from her usually timid nature.
* Buttercup is the only Powerpuff Girl who has not been shown using fire breath (Blossom used it at the end of Ice Sore, and Bubbles used it in Simian Says).
* Buttercup's eye and dress color were originally going to be blue just like Bubbles. However, when Craig McCracken drew the PPG the second time he switched Bubbles and Buttercup's color and he liked it better that way.
* Buttercup may be rebellious but she loves her sisters, as do they in return.
* Despite her tomboyish personality, she still wears a dress, tights, and mary janes like her sisters.
* In Crazy Mixed-Up Puffs, Buttercup passed gas onscreen. She's been the only girl to do so in the series.
* Originally, Buttercup would've been named Bud since she's a tomboy, but the name didn't seem to work so Craig McCracken kept thinking of a better name for the tough Powerpuff Girl until his friend Miles Thompson came up with the name Buttercup.
* Unlike her sisters, Buttercup is not very good with math, as seen in "Divide and Conquer".
* Buttercup is also the only Powerpuff who can only speak in one language, which is English. Bubbles can speak Spanish and Japanese and Blossom can speak Chinese.
* She is the only person in Townsville who can curl her tongue, as shown in 'Nuthin' Special'.
* Buttercup is mostly depicted as being left-handed, such as when playing bass guitar or writing, whereas Blossom and Bubbles are more consistently right-handed.
* In the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode, Crossover Nexus, Buttercup briefly appears as one Ben 10's transformations to defeat Strike.
* Compared to her original counterpart, Buttercup's eyes and dress are a lighter shade of green.
* This Buttercup and her sisters' energy manipulation powers are reminiscent of that of Green Lantern's power ring.
* Buttercup's energy manipulation, however, has the most striking resemblance to the Green Lantern because her trademark color is that precise shade of green.
* When Buttercup's green-energy projection glows, there are little triangles that can be seen floating around the outline for it. In reality, the triangle is a symbol of competitiveness, athleticism, and they want to be dominating.
* Buttercup uses her laser vision ability the most out of the girls. This could be a reference to her anime counterpart, which is the only one shown using laser vision unlike in the original series.
* It's ironic that being a girl, Buttercup likes manly stuff instead of girly stuff.
* Buttercup doesn't like being called a princess.
* Buttercup's fear of spiders was shared by her 1998 counterpart from the original series.
* Compared to her original series counterpart, she is a bit more laid back and sarcastic.
* In the storyboard art for the episode Escape from Monster Island, Buttercup lacked her cowlick and resembled her 1998 counterpart.
* Buttercup's voice and behavior are similar to Bart Simpson from The Simpsons.
* She is very good at math, unlike her 1998 counterpart.
