Buttercup Utonium is a character from the Powerpuff Girls (1998) and is a main character in AniCity. The muscle of the Powerpuff Girls, she fights alongside her sisters Blossom and Bubbles to defend their hometown of AniCity and assist The Justice League every now and then to protect the Earth. In her offtime from saving the world, she and her sisters' best friends the Chipettes practice music as the PowerChips, with she acts as backup guitar/vocals.

## Personality

As the spice portion of the girls' creation, Buttercup is the toughest fighter of the Girls, and acts as the typical fun-loving tomboy: easy to anger, very stubborn, likes more disgusting and violent activities, and is far more violent compared to her sisters. She always appears to have a need to fight, preferring to hit first, ask questions later. She also really hates to lose, and always refuses to admit defeat. Still being a kid though, she does have a soft side, such as how protective she is of her sisters.

## History

### Pre-Series

Created by Professor Utonium from sugar, spice, everything nice, and Chemical X, Buttercup fought alongside her sisters to defend their home of the City of Townsville against the forces of evil.

## Abilities

* Flight
* Super Strength
* Intense Durability
* Heat Vision

## Relationships

### Blossom

Buttercup and Blossom have a very terbulant relationship to put it one way.

### The Chipettes

#### Eleanor

Eleanor is Buttercup's closest friend in the Chipettes, with the two bonding over their snarky quips and love for sports, and of course throwing the odd joke about Brittany (to an extend, of course).

#### Brittany

Buttercup and Brittany very often butt heads due to their loud, often aggressive natures, frequently squabbling with one another over honestly pretty silly things. But obviously they do regard each other as friends, as they will sometimes act friendly towards one another and show signs that they are willing to help the other out.

## Notes

Buttercup's portrayal in this series is meant to "play with" her apparent insecurities seen throughout the original show, like how nobody really payed her much of any attention except (usually) when she was in trouble. A big thing it "plays" with is how some fans have noticed that in the original series, she seemed to be a victim of "Disproportionate Retribution", where she often got worse punishments for her misbehavior than her sisters did despite that most of it being rather typical of children her and her sisters' age. And yes, it does point out that some of the times she was punished it was warrented, but the other times... not so much.

For a little more crossover play, all three of the Girls have been made into members of the Kids Next Door in this series: though they're reserved for the more dangerous missions, given their powers. Their operating "Numbuhs" are based off of the airdates of their three pilot short films, with Buttercup's "96" coming from the air date of the Girls' second What-a-Cartoon short "Crime 101", January 28, 1996.
