Fluttershy (Hamiltrash LAMS)

## Personality

Fluttershy grew up a very shy and introverted pony, and stayed that way throughout most of her adulthood. She has very few very close friends (Applejack, Discord, and Tree Hugger being her top three) whom she trusts with anything without hesitation.

Once she grows closer and closer with Rainbow, Shy finds it a little easier to come out of her shell through some encouraging from Rainbow and Pinkie, and coaching from Applejack. She is a much more confident pony today, compared to her childhood.

## Backstory

Fluttershy and Zephyr were brought up in a sunny little villiage on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest under Posey, who has since passed, and Cumulonimbus Cloud, who disappeared off the maps of Equestria.

Fluttershy had always shown an interest in nature, specifically wildlife. She would always like to follow her father around and go with him on his forest expeditions, of which she would get scolded for after she'd nearly get hurt/eaten by a forest beast. Life was good for Fluttershy for the first few years of her life; she shared an unbreakable bond with her mother, she loved her little home in the beautiful village, and she had a baby sibling on the way. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there.

While Posey was giving birth to Zephyr, complications arose and the earth pony suddenly passed away. Fluttershy was *devastated* and cried for weeks, and Nimbus became eerily standoffish and quiet. He began to blame his son for the death of his wife and soon began to neglect his children. A young Shy was left to try and find food for herself and her brother, but it was definitely easier said than done. One day, after seeing how weak and helpless his children were, Nimbus gathered up his kids and flew them to an orphanage up in CloudsDale, telling them that he'd be back soon. Of course, the pegasus never showed up.

Over the course of around a year or so, Fluttershy, who'd lost all hope in ever seeing her father again, socially detached herself from the other fillies and foals and always seated herself in an empty corner. She'd began to think that she and Zephyr would spend the rest of their lives in that building...but luckily, things flipped around when an older unicorn couple came across the young pegasi and instantly fell in love. Shy and Zephyr were adopted by Fancy and Fleur and the family's been happy ever since.

## Relationships

### Spousal

### Siblings

#### Zephyr Breeze

Fluttershy and Zephyr have never really got along too well, especially after he was caught trying to steal from his sister's family. After their parents had abandoned the two young ponies, Fluttershy felt responsible for caring for her little brother (which she did), but they grew apart once Zeph got older. She does wish they could strengthen their sibling bond, but it doesn't seem likely.

### Parents

#### Posey

Posey would always take Fluttershy out to her garden each morning just so the two of them could fix it up a bit. Shy was incredibly close to her mother and was absolutely *destroyed* when Posey died. Flutts likes to tell her children stories about her time gardening with Posey, and how much she would've loved them.

#### Cumulonimbus Cloud

Nimbus was not a very doting father, and the two didn't have much of a connection. Once Posey died, Shy latched onto her father as her final sliver of hope in this dark situation, but Nimbus turned his back on his children and left them.

#### Fancy Pants

Fancy never failed to show his adoptive daughter love and affection, and has always supported Shy's desire to become a vet. He even went as far as to fund it, which was how she became one of Southern Equestria's best vets.

#### Fleur de Lis

Fleur helped Fluttershy to become more confident in herself and was also incredibly supportive to her vet job. Although Shy is closer to Fancy, she and Fleur still go for a coffee every Saturday morning.
