*For this character's counterpart in the Darkness Saga, see Fluttershy (D).*
*For this character's counterpart in the Shining Sparkle Saga Saga, see Fluttershy (SS).*
**Note**: Fluttershy's story in the Order and Chaos Saga doesn't follow the main plot of Season 4, Season 5, Season 6, Season 7, Season 8 and Season 9 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

**Fluttershy** is a female pegasus who lives in a small cottage near the Everfree Forest and takes care of animals, the most prominent of her charges being Angel the bunny. She is also Thunder Night's wife, later widow, and Moonlight Sonnet and Dark Cloud's mother. She represents the element of kindness.

## Personality

One of the most notable trait of hers is her shyness. She is so shy that she can't barely say her name to ponies she just meets and even can't speak at loud. Her shy nature contrasts with Rainbow Dash's abrasiveness and Fluttershy's inability to speak up often annoys Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow expresses her aggravation more than once. However, there are situations when Fluttershy's shyness is replaced by an enthusiastic behavior, just like meeting new kind of animals.

However, Fluttershy's most famous trait is her kindness, what is her most strong trait, but at the same time the most weak. It is her kindness that prompt her to help her friends, in spite of her fear. She is also the one who always try to see the goodness in everypony, just like Discord.

But, despite being soft-spoken and extremely polite most of the time, Fluttershy has shown a more aggressive side on rare occasions. Most of the time, Fluttershy can withstand almost anything that will make other ponies explode in anger. However, even a shy Pegasus like Fluttershy has her own limits.

## Skills

Despite being a Pegasus, Fluttershy does not usually help with the weather and does not use her wings as much as the other winged ponies. She is also scared of heights, which is ironic in that Pegasi live in the clouds most of their lives. Because of this, she instead focuses on tending to animals' care.

Fluttershy's special talent is communicating with animals, which she uses in order to provide them with food, medical attention and other forms of care when they need it. In addition, a host of animals have taken up residence in her home, which she attends to and looks after on an everyday basis.

She also has a special ability that she uses when dealing with misbehaving animals, called "The Stare". This ability is powerful as it can 'control' chickens up to her own pet bunny, Angel. However, Fluttershy doesn't really like to use the Stare. Only when someone's life is in danger or to maintain order, the Stare is used.

Fluttershy is an average flier under normal circumstances but is incapable of flight in moments of fear or stress and appears to possess only average physical strength at best. Despite her shortcomings at flying, Fluttershy has still performed some remarkable flying feats. While she usually gets around by walking or running, Fluttershy tends to hover and fly when she is very happy, or in high spirits. Additionally, she also will gracefully twirl and do small flips if she sings at the same time.

She is also able to conduct a rehearsal for a choir of birds, something he do for the wedding of Twilight and Blue Sword and also for Cherry and Big Mac's. Furthermore she is also a great singer.

To defeat the Sirens, Twilight and her friends received from Melody a power that was activated by their best potential.

### Love Interests

#### Star Hunter

#### Thunder Night

Apparently, when Fluttershy and Thunder Night first met, they didn't get along at first due to their conflicting personalities, but they ended up finding the mutual love they felt for each other. Since they become lovers, Thunder Night becomes very protective with Fluttershy, even trying not to fight her when she was turned into a pony-wolf, only retaining her long enough until Twilight defeat Shadow Claw and break the bloodline that revert Fluttershy to her pony form. After Fluttershy gets pregnant, he becomes even more protective with her.
