Fluttershy is a yellow pegasus with a kind and timid heart. She loves caring for all kinds of critters, and is far more comfortable in their presence than around other ponies. She may be timid, but she's faced dragons (which she has a great fear of), manticores, bears and other dangerous animals and mythilogical creatures.

Fluttershy lives in a small cottage surrounded by a small stream on the outskirts of Ponyville and close to the Everfree forest. She cares for her sick animals their, letting them stay while they recover. Out of all of her animals, the most prominent one that she cares for the most is a white bunny named Angel.

Her cutie mark is three butterfiles.

She represents the element of kindness.
