Blossom Utonium

**Blossom Utonium**, also known as **Blossom**, is one of the three main protagonists from the *Powerpuff Girls* franchise.

Blossom is the redhead in the pink outfit and signature red bow. She's the "smart one" and the self-proclaimed leader of the group, although at times she can be bossy or over-analytical, and represents "everything nice".

In the AWA fics, Blossom is a student at the AWA Academy.

In the XP4 Fics, Blossom debuted in the XP4 Heroes of the Multiverse - All-Star Adventures.

## **Appearance**

Blossom has pink eyes with long straight ginger hair and bangs. She wears a pink dress with a black belt, long white socks and Mary Jane shoes. The signature part of her outfit is a big red bow and heart shape hair-clip. She wears a pink school uniform that involves a pink skirt with white panties underneath and top with red bow attached, which makes up her school uniform. Her regular outfit is the same as her cartoon counterpart, albeit drawn with more detail and accuracy because of her now completely human-like physiology.

## **Personality**

Blossom appears to be the self-proclaimed leader like her original counterpart and appears to still be more intelligent than her sisters. She is very orderly, having all of her things organized in a specialized place. According to the short Run, Blossom, Run, she has perfect school attendance and has already been accepted into a top university, to which she has gained a paranoia to being late in that she sometimes gets up early even on weekends. She usually exaggerates and sometimes speaks in a naggy or even condescending nature. But like her original counterpart, she is also very analytical, coming up with most of their plans while being protective and caring for the well being of her sisters and others, much like her original counterpart. One of her major weaknesses is that she is somewhat of a germaphobe, as she has been seen putting on latex gloves before touching dirty things. She is also shown to be more sensitive as seen in Power-Up Puff and Poorbucks.

## **XP4 Fanfics**

### **XP4 Heroes of the Multiverse - All-Star Adventures**

In Chapter 28, Blossom, alongside Blisstina Utonium and Buttercup Utonium, are seen hanging out in the living room inside the Utonium Residence when they noticed the arrival of Professor Utonium and Ace D, Copular, they then discovered that the rest of the Gangreen Gang became the latest victims of Antonio Cueto and Matanza Cueto while Ace revealed his intentions of joining the Grand Empire.

## **Abilities**

Her special superpower is "Ice Breath" as revealed in the episode "Ice Sore". In "Ice Sore," surprised by her new found ability, Bubbles and Buttercup become very jealous of their sister.

In the same episode, Blossom used her ice breathing ability to save Townsville from a flaming meteor. After this task was completed she was unable to breathe ice. In the same episode, when the weather condition turned from hot to cold, Blossom could suddenly breathe fire, implying when she has a cold her ice breath oddly enough becomes fire breath. She has only used that ability once.

She uses her ice breath as a last resort in her fight against Princess Morbucks and her super-suit after Bubbles and Buttercup regroup to beat her in a handicap and blows with her Ice Breath to freeze her outfit until it breaks her golden fighting suit into pieces.

Blossom has the unique ability among the Powerpuff Girls to speak Chinese. (revealed in "Little Miss Interprets," contrary to Bubbles's knowledge of many foreign languages). She can also read Chinese (revealed in "The Bare Facts"). Considering she has stated that she needs to "brush up" on said language, it can be assumed to be a learned ability.

Blossom's hair bow is revealed to be a highly explosive timer bomb, seen in Forced Kin. It is considered the Powerpuff Girls' last resort of defeating an enemy.

Many of her unique abilities include:

* **Ice Breath**
* **Pink lightning bolts**
* **Microscopic vision**
* **Pink laser eye beams**
* **Advanced intelligence & knowledge**
* **Enhanced intuition**
* **Intuitive aptitude**
* **Danger Sense**
* **Expert leadership skills**
* **Apt planning skills**
* **Master strategist**
* **Fire Breath**

The most outgoing and intelligent of her sisters, Blossom is the Powerpuff Girls' natural leader. She is quick-thinking, logical, analytical and has a strong sense of justice. She is the one who comes up with new team maneuvers and directs the Girls in battle. It's when she keeps everyone working as a team that her real abilities as a leader shine. Blossom enjoys her position and knows she's best suited for it; this can make her seem bossy and arrogant, but she is always willing to acknowledge a better idea and has the best interests of her sisters and Townsville at heart. She therefore has many arguments with Buttercup, as Buttercup thinks she should be the leader as she is the 'toughest fighter'.

## **Trivia**

* Blossom's pink energy-projection/controlling abilities are very similar to that of the DC Comics character Green Lantern, with the obvious difference being the color pink instead of green. Also similar to those of Gwen Tennyson's pink/magenta/fuchsia life energy-generating abilities from *Ben 10: Alien Force*, *Ben 10: Ultimate Alien* and *Ben 10: Omniverse*.
* When Blossom's pink-energy projection glows, there are little squares/rectangles that can be seen floating around the outline for it. In reality, the square/rectangle is a symbol of being organized, determined, and logical.
* Like her 1998 series counterpart in the original show, she appears on screen first in the opening.
* Her diary uses a series of symbols, rather than distinguishable words, which might indicate extremely high intelligence and knowledge of certain languages, though not as good as Bubbles.
* In the reboot, Blossom has a love interest, Jared Shapiro, while her 1998 counterpart doesn't.
	+ The interesting thing is Jared's love interest was Blossom, but Blossom didn't know this until Jared gives her a note in "Snow Month".
* Blossom’s crush on Jared Shapiro has been panned by fans.
* Like her 1998 counterpart, she and her sisters are co-protagonists, though she has bigger plans.
* There is a common animation error where Blossom's back hair disappears.
* Blossom tends to be OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) sometimes.
* In the storyboard art for Escape from Monster Island, Blossom’s bow is shown to have a heart design on it.
* In the episode Aliver, it is revealed that Blossom likes to play chess by herself.
