Buttercup

Buttercup as drawn by AldrineRowdyruffBoy.

**Buttercup** is a character from *The PowerPuff Girls* and the toughest fighter of the titular team. She is a 5-year old little girl with black bobbed hair who resides in Townsville with her sisters, Bubbles and Blossom, and their scientist father, Professor Utonium.

Like in the original series, Buttercup is tough, brash, arrogant, sarcastic and sometimes rude and often serves as the muscle to her sisters. While she does love her sisters more than anything, she likes to mess with them on a regular basis, which usually results in Blossom being frustrated and/or Bubbles crying. She also has a tendency to jump straight into battles without planning something, which often exasperates Blossom and could be the reason why they often argue.

Being a tomboy, she relishes stuff like rock music, fighting, boxing, etc., but she does have a more feminine side that she doesn't show much, like having a beloved security blanket and having a soft spot for animals like Bubbles. While she detests girly stuff, she has rather ambivalent feelings for Bubbles' stuffed octopus, Octi.

While she still likes to mess with Bubbles, it's toned down a bit by AldrineRowdyruffBoy, but notable instances include her scaring Bubbles with Eustace's mask and pulling a football away from her before she can kick it.

She has a sense of humor along with Bubbles, as they laughed at Blossom when they accidentally botched her hair in *"The Mane Event"*, as well as the time when she slipped on a banana peel. She also laughed her head off when Courage's computer called him a twit in response to a complicated math equation.

She also hangs out often with the Road Runner, even though she doesn't seem to like some of the things that he does, like giving her a free ride and eating her Lucky Captain Rabbit King Nuggets cereal when he was invited to breakfast. She, however, was impressed with the Christmas cactus he made on Christmas and was even grateful when he saved her from falling into a canyon.
