When Fluttershy is first introduced in the series, she barely manages to tell Twilight Sparkle her name out of shyness, going so far as to be reduced to whimpering in fear. However, she becomes very conversational when she notices Spike the baby dragon, and implores him to tell her "everything" (which he does), all the way to Twilight's residence.
She is terrified of full grown dragões and repeatedly freezes in place when she and her friends go on an expedition to confront a dragon in Dragonshy. Twilight Sparkle encourages her and tells her that her understanding of animais will come in handy in the expedition, and aguardente de maçã pushes her progressivo, para a frente through some of the journey and defends her from disparaging remarks. Pinkie is able to help Fluttershy gain enough confidence to attempt to jump across a chasm in Dragonshy, and in Feeling Pinkie Keen, Fluttershy repeats the jumping line Pinkie Pie taught her. Near the end of the episode, when Fluttershy sees her friends being harmed por the dragon, she is able to overcome her fear and cause the dragon to back down por scolding it. In Stare Master, she is able to drive away a wild cockatrice in a similar manner.
Fluttershy practices cheering with arco iris, arco-íris Dash in Sonic Rainboom, but her loudest cheer is frustratingly quiet for Dash. When arco iris, arco-íris Dash successfully performs her sonic rainboom, Fluttershy cheers loudly and hops up and down in excitement, while the others only stand with mouths agape, shocked. In Stare Master, she is forced to raise her voice twice to gain the Cutie Mark Crusaders' attention.
She is reduced to tears por Gilda in Griffon the Brush Off when the griffon shouts at her for bumping into her. Afterwards, when Pinkie Pie tells her "[not to worry about] mean old Gilda" Fluttershy gets slightly annoyed at the patronizing comment and replies that she is "a ano older" than Pinkie. Pinkie Pie exempts Fluttershy from her pranks for fear of hurting her feelings, and she's outraged when she sees Gilda yelling at Fluttershy.
Just like Pinkie Pie's refusal to prank Fluttershy, her timidness means that her least favorito celebration is the Nightmare Night festival, where scares and being pranked is the whole point. In Luna Eclipsed, Fluttershy sequesters herself at início in her cottage, and refuses to answer the door to anyone but her best friends.
Kindness and sensitivity
When the ponies venture into the Everfree Forest, she is quick to identify that the manticore needs help, but since she is hesitant about raising her voice, it takes her a while to stop the other ponies from attacking the creature. She reveals afterwards that while she did not know exactly what was troubling the manticore, "sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness", earning her the element of kindness and revealing her confidence in her ability with animals.
"Sometimes, we all just need to be shown a little kindness..."
— Fluttershy on her values
If the animais don't like Fluttershy, you won't either.
When her patience is pushed por the creatures of Canterlot's garden in The Best Night Ever, who don't want to play and be with Fluttershy, her frustration steadily builds into a very uncharacteristic fit of extreme rage.
"I'll catch you yet, my pretties. Oh yes, as soon as one of you little birds or monkeys or bears touches this net, you'll be mine! MINE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
— Fluttershy
In The Return of Harmony Part 1, she is the only pónei, pônei who doesn't fall for Discord's manipulation, forcing him to ultimately hypnotize her with a simple touch and corrupt her into being cruel. In this state she is extremely vicious and irritating, doing everything she can to inflict grief and annoyance upon her friends. When Twilight Sparkle sets out to set the others straight using a "memory spell", Twilight and aguardente de maçã are forced to capture her, hogtying her up and AJ standing on her tail to prevent her from flying away. Fluttershy initially believes her corrupted state to be a "horrible dream".
Skills
Many pegasus ponies are involved in manipulating the weather, but Fluttershy, being a relatively poor flier, focuses on caring for animals.
Animal care
In A Bird in the Hoof, she cares for a "sick" bird, Philomeena, with the aid of a thermometer, a stethoscope, and medicine, implying she is competent in treating animals; at the beginning of the episode, there is a rato in a wheelchair meeting its family with a plaster cast that appears to have been made por Fluttershy. Later on, she introduces Philomeena to another one of her patients, Hummingway, who has recuperated under her care. Nevertheless, her skill may not extend to animais she is unfamiliar with, as her attempts to treat Philomeena only seem to make things worse (albeit nothing Fluttershy could have done would have cured Philomeena, as the phoenix is not unwell, but reaching the end of one of her life cycles). In Lesson Zero, she appears to aggressively attack a bear, but is actually giving it a rather intense massage.
The Stare
The "Stare" in practice. Fluttershy one, cockatrice zero.
While generally soft-spoken and timid, she is capable of giving "The Stare", a fierce and paralyzing gaze capable of taming and intimidating animals. It is first brought up when Rarity asks if Fluttershy used it on Opal, which Fluttershy says she did not.
In Stare Master, she uses the stare on her chickens. When one of the chickens, Elizabeak, escapes into the Everfree Forest, the Cutie Mark Crusaders go looking for it, and later Fluttershy goes looking for the Crusaders. She finds Twilight Sparkle petrified, and later comes across the cockatrice who petrified both Twilight and the missing chicken. Fluttershy uses the stare on the cockatrice even as it's in the middle of turning her to stone. She admonishes the creature, uses "The Stare" on it, and tells it to turn the chicken and Twilight Sparkle back to normal. This cows the cockatrice into submission, and later both the chicken and Twilight Sparkle are found seguro and sound. After staring down a dragon in Dragonshy, once it is no longer a threat, she reverts to her kind, gentle self, and tries to calm down the dragon.
Flying
Despite her phobia of (grown) dragons, Fluttershy scolds the dragon for its rudeness towards her friends.
Fluttershy is an adequate flier under normal circumstances, but seems to lose her flying ability in moments of fear; in Dragonshy, she is rendered paralyzed in midair upon hearing the dragon's snore at the bottom of the mountain, and is later shown to be incapable of crossing a chasm using her wings even as the paralysis has faded. She only regains her flying ability right after she starts growing angry at the dragon as it threatens her friends - the moment she conquers her fear. In Feeling Pinkie Keen, she does not fly in order to escape the hydra, though she is seen flapping her wings while running and jumping.
Fluttershy is only barely able to carry Twilight Sparkle a short distance in Friendship is Magic, part 2, even with arco iris, arco-íris Dash's help.
Nevertheless, during The Mysterious Mare Do Well, she is able to fly past arco iris, arco-íris Dash in the opposite direction with little effort, dizzying her; in addition, she can outfly an (albeit weighed down) arco iris, arco-íris Dash while carrying two ponies and a hot air balloon after being reminded por Twilight that if she doesn't catch her, Discord wins in The Return of Harmony, part 2.
Sewing
She has a knowledge of sewing rivaling Rarity's, which aguardente de maçã describes as "freaky" in Suited For Success. She and her friends use her knowledge to finish a dress designed por Rarity in this episode, and she recognizes machine stitching, stitching styles, uneven pleats, and specific clothing styles, such as French haute couture.
History
Filly Fluttershy meets the woodland animals.
The episode The Cutie Mark Chronicles offers a glimpse into Fluttershy's past. Like arco iris, arco-íris Dash, Fluttershy hails from Cloudsdale. As a filly, she was not a very good flier, and was bullied por some of the other ponies, who nicknamed her "Klutzershy". She was taller and mais gangly than the other foals, with slightly larger wings. arco iris, arco-íris Dash, however, stood up for her, and challenged the bullies to a race in which the participants unintentionally knocked Fluttershy down to the ground, a place she had never been before. She was saved from a rough landing por falling onto a large group of butterflies. Upon seeing all the different animais which lived on the ground for the first time, Fluttershy was so overjoyed, she started singing. A few moments later, arco iris, arco-íris Dash's sonic rainboom scared all the animais away; however, Fluttershy was able to calm them down, and learned that she had a talent for communicating with animals. It was at that point she gained her cutie mark, and a lifelong amor of animals.
Fluttershy lives in a cottage at the edge of the Everfree Forest and on the outskirts of Ponyville. It appears in several episodes, including Dragonshy, Swarm of the Century, and Stare Master, where it is one of the primary sets of the episode. The cottage's roof is covered in grama and is filled with runways, holes and perches for animals. In May the Best Pet Win!, Fluttershy is delighted to hear that arco iris, arco-íris Dash desires a pet and takes her to her cottage's backyard, where she presents her friend with a great variety of animais to choose from.
Fluttershy with Angel, her pet bunny.
Fluttershy's pet bunny angel is introduced in the third episode. angel pushes Fluttershy around on occasion; in A Bird in the Hoof, he locks her out of the cottage, and in The Ticket Master he persuades her to pursue the extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala.
Much is learned about the friendship between Fluttershy and Rarity during Green Isn't Your Color. The two meet regularly every week at Ponyville's dia spa to catch up. Rarity expresses admiration of Fluttershy's grace and poise in the episode, and implores Fluttershy to model her clothing, but as she is aware that Fluttershy doesn't enjoy putting herself in front of people, Rarity only asks her when fotografia Finish comes to photograph her work. Throughout the episode, Fluttershy has a hard time coping with the large amounts of attention. Despite this, she is willing to put up with it because she believes it makes Rarity happy. Likewise, Fluttershy is not exempt from Rarity's envy of her fame; however, Twilight eventually gets the two to solve their problems.
