gonna do one for flutters now yup yup, feel free to ignore
wip ofc
[spoiler=Characterization and Background]100% Adoration Rating: The town of Toronto adores her, and she is the go-to pony when it comes to pet problems, much to her chagrin.
Acrophobic Bird: It's mentioned in "Cat Got Your Tail?" that Fluttershy was afraid of flying in the past. However, in the series, she flies just as well as any other pegasus.
Adorkable: Especially when around Ocean and caring for creatures.
All-Loving Hero: She's this to nearly everyone, even villains.
All of the Other Reindeer: It's established that Fluttershy was bullied as a filly in Cloudsdale. When she arrived in Odd Squad during the events of the pienado and helped Mandy adjust, she mainly stayed within Odd Squad, and Toronto in general, rather than going back to Cloudsdale. In Odd Squad, she found a connection with animals.
Apologizes a Lot: Tends to do this often with Ms. O, especially if she is on the cusp of getting mad.
Badass Adorable: THE ultimate cute pony. Second to none and the definition of the trope for this series. Don't let her timid demeanor fool you: If you upset her enough to spur her into action, she will kick your ass and she often won't have to resort to violence to do it.
Badass Pacifist: She almost never resorts to violence, unless it gets to extreme points, and instead tries to work situations out without fighting.
Beauty Equals Goodness: She's as beautiful as she is kind.
Berserk Button:
- When creatures really don't want to listen to her, it sends her off the deep end.
- People ignoring her when she needs something also ticks her off, which is explored in "Flutterbye".
- She does not tolerate bullying whatsoever.
Beware the Nice Ones: What, you don't think she can get rough? You'd be wrong...and sometimes, dead wrong.
- In "Glimmer of Hope", she goes off on Agent Olympia, threatening her with "a fate worse than ten nights in Tartarus" if she doesn't warm up to Starlight Glimmer.
- Taken to extremes in "Flutterbye", where, after she is ignored while requesting assistance, she quits Odd Squad...and comes back with her animal friends to destroy it, crowning herself as the "Queen of Toronto Wildlife".
- Numerous times in "Odd Squad Intergalactica", one can see that she gets close to snapping at Olive, Otto, Oscar and Mandy, as well as Ms. O.
- "Four Play" sees her becoming overloaded with Mandy's work, and later blowing up at her own partner for becoming second-in-command (a position which Mandy had no choice in the matter on being promoted to) and thus, giving her so much work to do.
Brutal Honesty: Employs this in "Flutterbye", where, in a moment of anger, she tells Mandy exactly how she feels about her. The results are less than pleasant.
Character Development:
- As the show is a crossover with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Fluttershy's character development from that show could count for this show. However, regarding this series, she improves on the ability to speak her mind to Ms. O, initially being afraid of her; the same goes for Olive and Otto, as they are in the same position as Ms. O. She also learns the truth about why she was in the midst of the pienado, and knows why Mandy was there at the time, but refuses to tell her, as she feels the truth would shatter Mandy's outlook.
- In Season 2, she ventures more onto the field, becoming more familiar with how agents solve cases. When not working in the Creature Room, she will sometimes tag along with other agents, though she helps with smaller cases.
- After "Flutterbye", she realizes just how much others look up to her, a lesson that carries in future episodes.
Chewing the Scenery: Oh so much in "Flutterbye".
Cowardly Lion: She is generally regarded as a pushover, terrified of the field, and is happy to be known as "weak and helpless" if it means keeping her job. But send her hurling over the edge and her willpower multiplies by a factor of a million.
Cruel to Be Kind: A lesson she learns in "Flutterbye", and which sticks. After she tells Mandy off with Brutal Honesty (see above), the hybrid runs off crying. Twilight and Ms. O tell her that while she doesn't have to be a doormat, there is a bar set for telling people how you feel about them, and it doesn't have to border to the point where you hurt their feelings. This is what prompts her to find Mandy and apologize, earning her spot back on the Squad.
Cute and Psycho: As seen in "Flutterbye":
Fluttershy: You're. Going. TO LOVE MEEE!
Cuteness Proximity: Growing up in Odd Squad during the time Olive was an agent, she would often gush over Fluttershy, but only in secret.
The Cutie: Need we say anything?
Dandere: Has more of a close bond with Mandy than anyone else, which is sensical since the two are partners albeit in different positions. She tends to open up more to Mandy, and vice versa.
Determinator: She will help you out, even if you insist you don't need it.
- She will also care for every last creature, even if it means risking her life to do so.
The Eeyore: When her self-esteem is at its worst.
Evil Laugh: Surprisingly, she can produce a cackle that gives villains a run for their money. However, she rarely uses it.
Extreme Doormat: Given her shy personality, she is very passive a lot of the time.
The Face: In a select few situations only. While she is apt at offering solutions to a problem, she isn't willing to take part and lead others on it, preferring to hang back unless she is direly needed.
Fragile Flower: Being around creatures has made her less prone to being easy to hurt, but it doesn't make her any less of a Shrinking Violet.
Friendless Background: Her life in Cloudsdale wasn't a happy one. However, when she makes friends with the other ponies, and later with Mandy, her self-esteem skyrockets, and she spends more time in Toronto than Equestria because of it.
Friend to All Living Things: Being one of the Directors of the Creature Room, this is a given. However, unlike Ocean, she takes this trope quite literally.
- She's even a Friend to Bugs, befriending Oona as a fly without breaking a sweat. She even knew it was Oona off the bat, as "I can tell by the voice."
Girly Girl With a Tomboy Streak: Fluttershy is a sweet, nurturing Fragile Flower, and doesn't get violent unless necessary or in extreme situations, but likes getting dirty with her creature friends.
The Heart: Her Element of Harmony, Kindness.
Heroic Self-Deprecation: While it does get toned down over the course of the series, she often does this by remarking that she would be a "useless weight" on missions, and agreeing with Ms. O when she yells at her.
Hidden Depths:
- Fluttershy has displayed a remarkable talent for drawing and is often seen drawing artwork at her desk when not working.
- Like Peaches and Mandy, she is very dedicated to her work, but it's more to make Ms. O happy than it is a genuine love for what she does.
- Growing up, she was a weak flier, and she was bullied for it in Cloudsdale. Because of it, she made the conscious decision to stay mainly in Toronto, staying at a house in the town along with the rest of the Mane 6 and Mandy, before Applejack sells the house and she begins sleeping in Odd Squad HQ while going back to her cottage to care for her animals.
- A few episodes suggest that Fluttershy enjoys reading, particularly books on animals as well as Obfusco's books.
- It has been implied that Mandy, an expert flier, gives Fluttershy flying lessons to improve her wing strength, but this isn't prominently featured in any episode. It is, however, mentioned and discussed in "Horse Race."
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Lampshaded by Todd in one episode where Fluttershy goes to visit his Home for Villains in an attempt to assist a few villains in their reformations.
Todd: Wow, Fluttershy, you seem...so nice. You're very brave coming here and seeing how we run things.
Fluttershy: Oh yes! I've decided to come out of my comfort zone and make some new friends!
Todd: Heck, I probably couldn't even break you in the past as Odd Todd if I tried! Isn't that right?
*agreement from the other villains*
Innocently Insensitive: Similar to Mandy, Fluttershy never means outright harm, but some stuff she says comes out as this in a particular light due to her occasionally poor social skills. In "Third Mime's a Charm", she explains that had Mandy been awake, she probably would have done more damage to the Thrimes and the Sandman--a comment which Mandy does not take too lightly to, seeing as she had already beaten the group of villains in her sleep the previous night.
Ironic Fear: Since she's a Pegasus, her fear of large heights fits here.
Jerkass Ball: In "Flutterbye" and "Foul Play", she gets into a heated verbal argument with Mandy, telling her off. The former episode has Mandy run off crying her eyes out afterwards.
Karmic Protection: Like Mandy, Fluttershy's shyness tends to excuse her from her more Jerkass moments, although it doesn't always apply. Granted the fact she is a Butt-Monkey in every other area makes it excusable.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: Comes with the territory of being a Friend to All Living Things.
Let's Get Dangerous!: Several examples.
- In "Pilot", she helps Mandy stop Olive's plan to expose Peaches, taking the task of exploring Olive's office while Mandy checks the park.
- In "Cat Got Your Tail?" she takes up the helm in curing Peaches of her aggressiveness; however, she becomes unsuccessful and returns to her worried state of despair.
- In "Pinkie Party", while at first hesitant to help Pinkie Pie with her party-related casework, she takes up the helm anyway. It's implied that the amount Pinkie did with Rarity and Fluttershy made her exhausted even with the two mares' help, so this can double as an Offscreen Moment of Awesome.
Lovable Coward: She can jump into danger when the situation calls for it, but most of the time she is scared of the doors opening, and she is every bit adorable because of it.
Love Hungry: Ends up providing the page quote during "Flutterbye", where she takes others' ignorance of her and her needs very personally.
Mama Bear:
- Towards Mandy at times. While Olive obviously helms the position, Fluttershy is usually a foil to Mandy and keeps tabs on her in Olive's and Peaches's absences.
- She also has a fondness towards the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
The Matchmaker: Of a non-romantic type. In "Whoops, I Let the Leash Go", it's shown that one of the most thrilling parts of her day is finding your lost pet. When Ms. O announces that she is leaving work early to find Whoops, her pet Australian Shepherd (introduced in the Odd Squad episode "Puppet Show"), Fluttershy immediately steps up to the plate and vows to find him for her.
My God, What Have I Done?: Her reaction to finding Mandy huddled up in a corner of the alleyway crying after belittling her.
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Is just about the only pegasus seen on the show that isn't boastful or arrogant.
Nice Girl: She bears the Element of Kindness for a reason, folks.
Not So Above It All: While one of the most nicest characters in the lot, she can't be perfect and often laughs at Mandy's mockery of other characters and takes part in talking about them behind their backs. In most cases, she is usually apologetic afterwards and/or tries to backtrack.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
- In "Flutterbye", she is shown to become more increasingly upset every time she is ignored or her requests are shot down. It takes her a while, but eventually she hits her limit and flips out on every employee, slamming her badge onto the floor, subsequently breaking it, and storming out.
- When Laura Lovebloom calls the ponies and admits to blasting Mandy with her love wand in "Fickle Love", Fluttershy gets upset, much to the surprise of the other ponies (as it's written clear on their faces), and demands to know where Mandy is. When Laura calls her "Flitterfloosh", she gets even more upset and corrects her.
- Inverted in the same episode, when Twilight and Fluttershy teleport to Olive's room to wake her up and inform her about the situation.
Twilight: (in a low voice) Okay, we're right outside her room. We'll have to be quiet.
Fluttershy: (in her natural quiet voice) You know I'm always quiet. You can count on me!
Performance Anxiety: She has horrible stage fright and hates being the center of attention, as revealed in "Shake, Rattle, And Run Away".
Personality Powers: She bears the Element of Kindness, and she has a kind, gentle personality, which is sometimes to her detriment and sometimes to her advantage.
Plucky Girl: A stubborn kindness, this one. While she may not be smiling she'll keep her spirits up.
The Quiet One: In scenes where she makes an appearance, she often doesn't have any dialogue and rarely speaks up.
Remembered I Could Fly: Now and then.
- When she remarks on Ms. O's "suit flaps" in "Sandbox Adventures", Ms. O tersely reminds her that she has wings and that she can fly too. Her response is a meek "Whoops, I forgot."
- In "Field Day" she leaps off of the hill of the meadow Mandy is located in, and at first it seems like she's flying...only she isn't, and she rolls down the hill towards the ground. Afterward she sheepishly remarks that while she had a soft landing, she could have flown off the hill.
Shrinking Violet: She definitely lives up to the "Shy" in her name. Over the course of the series though, she does get better.
Silk Hiding Steel: Definitely fits the character type; humble, loyal, wise, nurturing, etc. but with a clear touch of iron.
The So-Called Coward: She seems like a meek scaredy-pony up until someone genuinely threatens her friends, at which point she becomes absolutely terrifying.
Socially Awkward Hero: Is very shy, but is able to stand up to villains (and people in general) that are several times her size.
Submissive Badass: When asked to do something, she gets it done with little to no questions asked. She becomes more assertive as time goes on though.
Tender Tears: Being a nurturer and a caregiver, this is a given. If Mandy begins to cry, Fluttershy will start crying too.
This Means War!: When she's mad at someone, you know they've crossed the line somehow and are in trouble now.
Took a Level in Badass: More prominent in episodes where she is tasked to do something that aids a solution to a problem. Especially if it involves Mandy.
Trademark Favorite Food: Cucumber sandwiches, much to the surprise of Olly, who had never heard of such a thing.
Undying Loyalty:
- To Ms. O. Though Fluttershy fears her due to her Mean Boss/Benevolent Boss personality, she will carry out any order she wishes, and is always ready to help Ms. O when she needs it.
- Similarly, to Odd Squad as a whole. Fluttershy is happy with her job as a Creature Room Co-Director, but also shows great loyalty for the organization itself, admiring the many feats agents have performed since its founding way back in the day.
Unstoppable Rage:
- In "Four Play", she blows her top at Mandy, despite her offering to take her partner's work while she took a vacation. She chews out Mandy for her position, her lack of self-care, and even such habits as reading in bed "late" at night. Needless to say, Mandy doesn't take too kindly to this, and does the same thing to Fluttershy, chewing her out on her shyness, her lack of assertiveness, and the fact she isn't an agent.
- Taken Up to Eleven in "Flutterbye", where she quits the Squad and storms out after others refuse to acknowledge her when she needed assistance. She later teams up with her animal friends and attempts to destroy the place.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Appearance]Animal Motifs: Her cutie mark is a trio of pink butterflies.
Badass in a Nice Suit: While not usually a badass unless it's called for, she wears clothing similar to Agent Ocean--badge and all.
Color-Coded Characters: She is timid and gets scared very easily, so naturally, she is yellow.
Feather Fingers: Similar to Mandy, Fluttershy can use her wings as an extra pair of hands.
Innocent Blue Eyes: The most kindhearted, caring, and innocent of the cast.
Little Big Sister: Older than her brother Zephyr Breeze, and shorter than him to boot.
Long Hair is Feminine: Pretty, pink, and long enough to hide behind. From certain angles it even appears to frame her face in a heart.
Non-Standard Character Design:
- She is the only one of the Mane Six with a unique Tareme Eyes design. When startled they widen into standard eyes, however.
- In flashback episodes, we see Fluttershy as a filly and she's noticeably taller and ganglier than her peers with daintier hooves. While she is at least one year older than some such as Pinkie Pie, the height difference is still jarring for the small age gap, and we rarely see any young ponies of similar proportioning throughout the show.
- As an adult mare, Fluttershy is seen being left-hooved--the only pony character to do so.
- Eagle-eyed viewers can notice Fluttershy being shorter than the rest of the Mane Six. When compared in height to Mandy, the other ponies go up to her knees. However, Fluttershy is seen being a few inches shorter than Mandy when put side-by-side. This is especially noticeable when Mandy is in pony form, and is standing next to Fluttershy.
Obliviously Beautiful: In-universe, she's implied to be cute and beautiful enough to make Olive--normally brisk and serious--visibly lose her cool. However, she is vaguely aware of it, if at all.
Older Than They Look: It's remarked on in one episode that Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie. When Mandy and Peaches find out about this however, neither one of them believe it, as her nature makes her appear a lot younger than other ponies.
Peek-a-Bangs: When she was a filly.
Pink Means Feminine: Her mane and tail.
Puppy-Dog Eyes: She's not above using these when she really wants something. For example, in "Cat Got Your Tail?" when asking Ms. O to take the rest of the day off.
Rapunzel Hair: Besides Peaches and maybe Ms. O, she has the longest hair out of the main characters and is the only character whose tail travels along the ground.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: Of a less saturated variety than Pinkie, representing a less intense and more gentle personality.
Tareme Eyes: Very noticeable when compared to the others and she is significantly sweeter and more gentle.
Tarot Motifs: Reforming villains brings to mind card 8 (or 11), Strength, representing inner courage, patience, and of course, kindness.
Twitchy Eye: Seen when becoming unhinged in "Flutterbye".
Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: She's a pegasus.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Abilities]The Beastmaster: She doesn't use it for combat, but when the Squad is being wrecked by a creature, or when an agent is being threatened by one, she is quick to tame it.
Beyond the Impossible: She has been known to deal with creatures in manners that leave even Ocean slack-jawed.
Fluffy Tamer: Is very good with Ms. O's dog, Whoops, in "Whoops, I Let the Leash Go"--so much so, that Ms. O names her Whoops's official petsitter.
Forgot About Her Powers: Fluttershy is rarely seen hovering like Rainbow Dash, and usually prefers to be on the ground.
- In "Field Day", she attempts to leap off the tall hill in the meadow Mandy is located in, only to roll in a one-pony ball down to the ground. When Pinkie and Peaches ask if she's okay, Fluttershy says yes and then sheepishly remarks that she could have flown to the bottom of the hill.
Guile Hero: In "The Boss's Assistant", she assists with rescuing Twilight, while ousting the Big O in the process.
Heart is an Awesome Power: Her love and connection to animals helped her find her cutie mark. This also gives her the desire to help and protect her friends no matter what. Her connection to animals applies to both odd creatures, and normal, everyday creatures.
Hypnotic Eyes: Combined with Death Glare to produce a power known as "The Stare" to those far and wide. It's able to tame creatures with ease. At one point she asks Ocean if he would like to learn, but he declines (as he is known as a "creature whisperer" throughout the precinct).
Kindly Vet: She is often shown healing injured animals.
Like a Duck Takes to Water: She is quite at home in the Creature Room, and thus, it's where she spends a lot of her time. In "The Kir-bees", while she doesn't know about the eponymous creature, after some research, she takes a liking to it. Mandy, however, is the opposite, as she had gotten into a fight with the creature before. She happily hands it off to Fluttershy, who thanks her partner for creature-sitting the Kir-bee.
Made of Iron: In many episodes, she gets injured or knocked out, but is seen being perfectly fine in following scenes.
Nature Hero: Being in tune with nature has saved the lives of her, her friends, and generally the entire Squad.
Not So Weak: Fluttershy is an adorable, cute little Pegasus who is literally afraid of doors opening. However, despite what most think, Fluttershy is a lot tougher than she looks, going the extra mile to protect her friends and those she loves. She displays an intense loyalty and admiration for Odd Squad and isn't afraid to fight if called upon, nor is she afraid to provide solutions to problems. She is also a pretty average flier, with Mandy being her personal tutor on the subject.
The Power of Friendship: When she's alone, she often has trouble defending herself, but when she's with her friends, almost nothing can stop her.
Prehensile Tail:
- In "Season's Sneezings", it's shown to be strong enough to wrap around a pole and support her weight while dangling from it.
- Her tail proves to be useful in battle on numerous occasions--like Mandy's tail, Fluttershy is able to scoop up things with her tail and fling it, creating a whip sound.
Speaks Fluent Animal: Her special talent is communicating with creatures (odd and normal) on a different level than most ponies. She can also understand them literally. She treats the ones that don't rely on charades as Intelligible Unintelligible.
Stealth Expert: Due to how naturally quiet she is, there have been a few times where she is chosen to carry out the stealth part of a plan, such as in "Fickle Love". She succeeds with flying colors, even going so far as to apologize to Olive and meekly explain the situation.
Super Speed: Rarely exhibited, but she has shown to be able to keep up with Mandy (who herself is a speedy flier).
Talking the Monster to Death: She's done this on multiple occasions, from Centigurps to Daves.
Un-Sorcerer: Unlike most Pegasi, she is a weak flier, and although she is getting better with Mandy's assistance, she prefers to keep her hooves on the ground. She compensates for this by showing an affinity for nature and animals, more like an Earth pony.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Relationships]All of the Other Reindeer: Due to her poor flying ability, none of the fillies in Cloudsdale treated her very well. Even as an adult, there have been times where the entire Squad, or even the entire town is against her (like "Flutterbye").
Childhood Friends: Mostly with Rainbow Dash, but also with Mandy. In the case of the former, most of their closeness as adults comes from being pegasi and Cloudsdale natives, but as children, they were already together around the age for flight camp. For the latter, Fluttershy was revealed to be very kind to Mandy as the two grew up, keeping her under wraps when Olive was out on cases (as Mandy would get emotional when Olive left). It's partially what spurred Ms. O to make the two partners along with Pinkie Pie, being the first Director to form a three-partner trio.
Defeat Means Friendship: Her mindset for defeating villains. She especially takes a liking to Kevin Noisemaker.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Responsible to her freeloading slacker brother Zephyr Breeze's Foolish.
Friend To All Children: Since she works with children and is very kind and respectful to them, this is a given. But she is especially close with some children, like Mandy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
The Friends Who Never Hang:
- She isn't seen hanging out with other ponies as much as Pinkie Pie and Mandy. At times there will be episodes where she and a select handful of characters go on an adventure together or encounter/cause an issue, but it rarely improves the friendship bond between them.
The Load: Ms. O has remarked that Fluttershy is this a few times whenever she's annoyed and think she's alone. When Fluttershy hears it, she politely agrees, much to Ms. O's chagrin.
Morality Pet: Is seen as this to the Squad as a whole. While she does hold a position just like other characters in the show (save Peaches) do, it's one of the lowest ranking positions due to the symbol that represents it (since rank is determined by how many sides a position's symbol has). Because of this, she looks down upon herself. However, she is not above giving advice to others and helping out when needed.
The Millstone: In "Four Play" she attempts to take over Mandy's work for her while the hybrid takes a well-deserved vacation. Needless to say, Fluttershy underestimated just how much work Mandy does on the daily.
Odd Friendship: Has one with many humans, almost as much as many ponies, like Rainbow Dash. She is especially close with Mandy, despite the pair being two separate species (and one by transformation) and despite their personalities being vastly different.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Fluttershy's quiet, timid personality makes her pure Blue Oni to all of her friends.
Team Mom: Mainly towards creatures, whom she feeds and takes care of along with Ocean.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Rainbow Dash's Tomboy.
Vitrolic Best Buds: A rather unique example. As kind and patient as she attempts to be, nearly every last one of her friends manages to exasperate or terrify her by accident.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Other]Butt-Monkey: Usually gets one end of the stick of this; the other end belongs to Agent Mandy.
Children in Tow: In "A Tour of Duty" she is seen leading agents-in-training around Headquarters, using the same harness Ms. O once used.
Demoted to Extra: Gets to be this in some episodes, sometimes not even having a speaking line.
Evil Laugh: She has one in "Flutterbye" that could give villains a run for their money.
Go Ye Heroes, Go and Die: Tends to draw these as both sender and recipient.
Immune to Mind Control: Lampshaded by Todd in one episode when Fluttershy visits his Home for Villains.
Meaningful Name: She is a weak flier and she is very shy. Similarly, she has a special place in her heart for butterflies and they are her cutie mark.
Out of Focus: The series focuses on the exploits of, well, Peaches and Mandy, but it also focuses on Pinkie, Fluttershy, and a few other human characters. Despite this, Fluttershy is sometimes this in episodes, often not getting many speaking lines.
Squee!: Does this adorably in "Glimmer of Hope".
Vocal Dissonance: Like Mandy, her voice gets a lot deeper when she cries.
Vocal Evolution: Andrea Libman's voice for Fluttershy was quiet almos to the point of a whisper. Later on, the character has a lot more volume and enthusiasm, and even sounds a tad goofy.
The Voiceless: In many episodes, she is seen, but not given any speaking lines.[/spoiler]

Cowardly Lion: She is generally regarded as a pushover, terrified of the field, and is happy to be known as "weak and helpless" if it means keeping her job. But send her hurling over the edge and her willpower multiplies by a factor of a million.
Cruel to Be Kind: A lesson she learns in "Flutterbye", and which sticks. After she tells Mandy off with Brutal Honesty (see above), the hybrid runs off crying. Twilight and Ms. O tell her that while she doesn't have to be a doormat, there is a bar set for telling people how you feel about them, and it doesn't have to border to the point where you hurt their feelings. This is what prompts her to find Mandy and apologize, earning her spot back on the Squad.
Cute and Psycho: As seen in "Flutterbye":
Fluttershy: You're. Going. TO LOVE MEEE!
Cuteness Proximity: Growing up in Odd Squad during the time Olive was an agent, she would often gush over Fluttershy, but only in secret.
The Cutie: Need we say anything?

Fragile Flower: Being around creatures has made her less prone to being easy to hurt, but it doesn't make her any less of a Shrinking Violet.
Friendless Background: Her life in Cloudsdale wasn't a happy one. However, when she makes friends with the other ponies, and later with Mandy, her self-esteem skyrockets, and she spends more time in Toronto than Equestria because of it.
Friend to All Living Things: Being one of the Directors of the Creature Room, this is a given. However, unlike Ocean, she takes this trope quite literally.
- She's even a Friend to Bugs, befriending Oona as a fly without breaking a sweat. She even knew it was Oona off the bat, as "I can tell by the voice."
Girly Girl With a Tomboy Streak: Fluttershy is a sweet, nurturing Fragile Flower, and doesn't get violent unless necessary or in extreme situations, but likes getting dirty with her creature friends.
The Heart: Her Element of Harmony, Kindness.
Heroic Self-Deprecation: While it does get toned down over the course of the series, she often does this by remarking that she would be a "useless weight" on missions, and agreeing with Ms. O when she yells at her.
Hidden Depths:
- Fluttershy has displayed a remarkable talent for drawing and is often seen drawing artwork at her desk when not working.
- Like Peaches and Mandy, she is very dedicated to her work, but it's more to make Ms. O happy than it is a genuine love for what she does.
- Growing up, she was a weak flier, and she was bullied for it in Cloudsdale. Because of it, she made the conscious decision to stay mainly in Toronto, staying at a house in the town along with the rest of the Mane 6 and Mandy, before Applejack sells the house and she begins sleeping in Odd Squad HQ while going back to her cottage to care for her animals.
- A few episodes suggest that Fluttershy enjoys reading, particularly books on animals as well as Obfusco's books.
- It has been implied that Mandy, an expert flier, gives Fluttershy flying lessons to improve her wing strength, but this isn't prominently featured in any episode. It is, however, mentioned and discussed in "Horse Race."
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Lampshaded by Todd in one episode where Fluttershy goes to visit his Home for Villains in an attempt to assist a few villains in their reformations.
Todd: Wow, Fluttershy, you seem...so nice. You're very brave coming here and seeing how we run things.
Fluttershy: Oh yes! I've decided to come out of my comfort zone and make some new friends!
Todd: Heck, I probably couldn't even break you in the past as Odd Todd if I tried! Isn't that right?
*agreement from the other villains*
Innocently Insensitive: Similar to Mandy, Fluttershy never means outright harm, but some stuff she says comes out as this in a particular light due to her occasionally poor social skills. In "Third Mime's a Charm", she explains that had Mandy been awake, she probably would have done more damage to the Thrimes and the Sandman--a comment which Mandy does not take too lightly to, seeing as she had already beaten the group of villains in her sleep the previous night.
Ironic Fear: Since she's a Pegasus, her fear of large heights fits here.
Jerkass Ball: In "Flutterbye" and "Foul Play", she gets into a heated verbal argument with Mandy, telling her off. The former episode has Mandy run off crying her eyes out afterwards.
Karmic Protection: Like Mandy, Fluttershy's shyness tends to excuse her from her more Jerkass moments, although it doesn't always apply. Granted the fact she is a Butt-Monkey in every other area makes it excusable.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: Comes with the territory of being a Friend to All Living Things.
Let's Get Dangerous!: Several examples.
- In "Pilot", she helps Mandy stop Olive's plan to expose Peaches, taking the task of exploring Olive's office while Mandy checks the park.
- In "Cat Got Your Tail?" she takes up the helm in curing Peaches of her aggressiveness; however, she becomes unsuccessful and returns to her worried state of despair.
- In "Pinkie Party", while at first hesitant to help Pinkie Pie with her party-related casework, she takes up the helm anyway. It's implied that the amount Pinkie did with Rarity and Fluttershy made her exhausted even with the two mares' help, so this can double as an Offscreen Moment of Awesome.
Lovable Coward: She can jump into danger when the situation calls for it, but most of the time she is scared of the doors opening, and she is every bit adorable because of it.
Love Hungry: Ends up providing the page quote during "Flutterbye", where she takes others' ignorance of her and her needs very personally.
Mama Bear:
- Towards Mandy at times. While Olive obviously helms the position, Fluttershy is usually a foil to Mandy and keeps tabs on her in Olive's and Peaches's absences.
- She also has a fondness towards the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
The Matchmaker: Of a non-romantic type. In "Whoops, I Let the Leash Go", it's shown that one of the most thrilling parts of her day is finding your lost pet. When Ms. O announces that she is leaving work early to find Whoops, her pet Australian Shepherd (introduced in the Odd Squad episode "Puppet Show"), Fluttershy immediately steps up to the plate and vows to find him for her.
My God, What Have I Done?: Her reaction to finding Mandy huddled up in a corner of the alleyway crying after belittling her.
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Is just about the only pegasus seen on the show that isn't boastful or arrogant.
Nice Girl: She bears the Element of Kindness for a reason, folks.
Not So Above It All: While one of the most nicest characters in the lot, she can't be perfect and often laughs at Mandy's mockery of other characters and takes part in talking about them behind their backs. In most cases, she is usually apologetic afterwards and/or tries to backtrack.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
- In "Flutterbye", she is shown to become more increasingly upset every time she is ignored or her requests are shot down. It takes her a while, but eventually she hits her limit and flips out on every employee, slamming her badge onto the floor, subsequently breaking it, and storming out.
- When Laura Lovebloom calls the ponies and admits to blasting Mandy with her love wand in "Fickle Love", Fluttershy gets upset, much to the surprise of the other ponies (as it's written clear on their faces), and demands to know where Mandy is. When Laura calls her "Flitterfloosh", she gets even more upset and corrects her.
- Inverted in the same episode, when Twilight and Fluttershy teleport to Olive's room to wake her up and inform her about the situation.
Twilight: (in a low voice) Okay, we're right outside her room. We'll have to be quiet.
Fluttershy: (in her natural quiet voice) You know I'm always quiet. You can count on me!
Performance Anxiety: She has horrible stage fright and hates being the center of attention, as revealed in "Shake, Rattle, And Run Away".
Personality Powers: She bears the Element of Kindness, and she has a kind, gentle personality, which is sometimes to her detriment and sometimes to her advantage.
Plucky Girl: A stubborn kindness, this one. While she may not be smiling she'll keep her spirits up.
The Quiet One: In scenes where she makes an appearance, she often doesn't have any dialogue and rarely speaks up.
Remembered I Could Fly: Now and then.
- When she remarks on Ms. O's "suit flaps" in "Sandbox Adventures", Ms. O tersely reminds her that she has wings and that she can fly too. Her response is a meek "Whoops, I forgot."
- In "Field Day" she leaps off of the hill of the meadow Mandy is located in, and at first it seems like she's flying...only she isn't, and she rolls down the hill towards the ground. Afterward she sheepishly remarks that while she had a soft landing, she could have flown off the hill.
Shrinking Violet: She definitely lives up to the "Shy" in her name. Over the course of the series though, she does get better.
Silk Hiding Steel: Definitely fits the character type; humble, loyal, wise, nurturing, etc. but with a clear touch of iron.
The So-Called Coward: She seems like a meek scaredy-pony up until someone genuinely threatens her friends, at which point she becomes absolutely terrifying.
Socially Awkward Hero: Is very shy, but is able to stand up to villains (and people in general) that are several times her size.
Submissive Badass: When asked to do something, she gets it done with little to no questions asked. She becomes more assertive as time goes on though.
Tender Tears: Being a nurturer and a caregiver, this is a given. If Mandy begins to cry, Fluttershy will start crying too.
This Means War!: When she's mad at someone, you know they've crossed the line somehow and are in trouble now.
Took a Level in Badass: More prominent in episodes where she is tasked to do something that aids a solution to a problem. Especially if it involves Mandy.
Trademark Favorite Food: Cucumber sandwiches, much to the surprise of Olly, who had never heard of such a thing.
Undying Loyalty:
- To Ms. O. Though Fluttershy fears her due to her Mean Boss/Benevolent Boss personality, she will carry out any order she wishes, and is always ready to help Ms. O when she needs it.
- Similarly, to Odd Squad as a whole. Fluttershy is happy with her job as a Creature Room Co-Director, but also shows great loyalty for the organization itself, admiring the many feats agents have performed since its founding way back in the day.
Unstoppable Rage:
- In "Four Play", she blows her top at Mandy, despite her offering to take her partner's work while she took a vacation. She chews out Mandy for her position, her lack of self-care, and even such habits as reading in bed "late" at night. Needless to say, Mandy doesn't take too kindly to this, and does the same thing to Fluttershy, chewing her out on her shyness, her lack of assertiveness, and the fact she isn't an agent.
- Taken Up to Eleven in "Flutterbye", where she quits the Squad and storms out after others refuse to acknowledge her when she needed assistance. She later teams up with her animal friends and attempts to destroy the place.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Appearance]Animal Motifs: Her cutie mark is a trio of pink butterflies.
Badass in a Nice Suit: While not usually a badass unless it's called for, she wears clothing similar to Agent Ocean--badge and all.
Color-Coded Characters: She is timid and gets scared very easily, so naturally, she is yellow.
Feather Fingers: Similar to Mandy, Fluttershy can use her wings as an extra pair of hands.
Innocent Blue Eyes: The most kindhearted, caring, and innocent of the cast.
Little Big Sister: Older than her brother Zephyr Breeze, and shorter than him to boot.
Long Hair is Feminine: Pretty, pink, and long enough to hide behind. From certain angles it even appears to frame her face in a heart.
Non-Standard Character Design:
- She is the only one of the Mane Six with a unique Tareme Eyes design. When startled they widen into standard eyes, however.
- In flashback episodes, we see Fluttershy as a filly and she's noticeably taller and ganglier than her peers with daintier hooves. While she is at least one year older than some such as Pinkie Pie, the height difference is still jarring for the small age gap, and we rarely see any young ponies of similar proportioning throughout the show.
- As an adult mare, Fluttershy is seen being left-hooved--the only pony character to do so.
- Eagle-eyed viewers can notice Fluttershy being shorter than the rest of the Mane Six. When compared in height to Mandy, the other ponies go up to her knees. However, Fluttershy is seen being a few inches shorter than Mandy when put side-by-side. This is especially noticeable when Mandy is in pony form, and is standing next to Fluttershy.
Obliviously Beautiful: In-universe, she's implied to be cute and beautiful enough to make Olive--normally brisk and serious--visibly lose her cool. However, she is vaguely aware of it, if at all.
Older Than They Look: It's remarked on in one episode that Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie. When Mandy and Peaches find out about this however, neither one of them believe it, as her nature makes her appear a lot younger than other ponies.
Peek-a-Bangs: When she was a filly.
Pink Means Feminine: Her mane and tail.
Puppy-Dog Eyes: She's not above using these when she really wants something. For example, in "Cat Got Your Tail?" when asking Ms. O to take the rest of the day off.
Rapunzel Hair: Besides Peaches and maybe Ms. O, she has the longest hair out of the main characters and is the only character whose tail travels along the ground.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: Of a less saturated variety than Pinkie, representing a less intense and more gentle personality.
Tareme Eyes: Very noticeable when compared to the others and she is significantly sweeter and more gentle.
Tarot Motifs: Reforming villains brings to mind card 8 (or 11), Strength, representing inner courage, patience, and of course, kindness.
Twitchy Eye: Seen when becoming unhinged in "Flutterbye".
Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: She's a pegasus.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Abilities]The Beastmaster: She doesn't use it for combat, but when the Squad is being wrecked by a creature, or when an agent is being threatened by one, she is quick to tame it.
Beyond the Impossible: She has been known to deal with creatures in manners that leave even Ocean slack-jawed.
Fluffy Tamer: Is very good with Ms. O's dog, Whoops, in "Whoops, I Let the Leash Go"--so much so, that Ms. O names her Whoops's official petsitter.
Forgot About Her Powers: Fluttershy is rarely seen hovering like Rainbow Dash, and usually prefers to be on the ground.
- In "Field Day", she attempts to leap off the tall hill in the meadow Mandy is located in, only to roll in a one-pony ball down to the ground. When Pinkie and Peaches ask if she's okay, Fluttershy says yes and then sheepishly remarks that she could have flown to the bottom of the hill.
Guile Hero: In "The Boss's Assistant", she assists with rescuing Twilight, while ousting the Big O in the process.
Heart is an Awesome Power: Her love and connection to animals helped her find her cutie mark. This also gives her the desire to help and protect her friends no matter what. Her connection to animals applies to both odd creatures, and normal, everyday creatures.
Hypnotic Eyes: Combined with Death Glare to produce a power known as "The Stare" to those far and wide. It's able to tame creatures with ease. At one point she asks Ocean if he would like to learn, but he declines (as he is known as a "creature whisperer" throughout the precinct).
Kindly Vet: She is often shown healing injured animals.
Like a Duck Takes to Water: She is quite at home in the Creature Room, and thus, it's where she spends a lot of her time. In "The Kir-bees", while she doesn't know about the eponymous creature, after some research, she takes a liking to it. Mandy, however, is the opposite, as she had gotten into a fight with the creature before. She happily hands it off to Fluttershy, who thanks her partner for creature-sitting the Kir-bee.
Made of Iron: In many episodes, she gets injured or knocked out, but is seen being perfectly fine in following scenes.
Nature Hero: Being in tune with nature has saved the lives of her, her friends, and generally the entire Squad.
Not So Weak: Fluttershy is an adorable, cute little Pegasus who is literally afraid of doors opening. However, despite what most think, Fluttershy is a lot tougher than she looks, going the extra mile to protect her friends and those she loves. She displays an intense loyalty and admiration for Odd Squad and isn't afraid to fight if called upon, nor is she afraid to provide solutions to problems. She is also a pretty average flier, with Mandy being her personal tutor on the subject.
The Power of Friendship: When she's alone, she often has trouble defending herself, but when she's with her friends, almost nothing can stop her.
Prehensile Tail:
- In "Season's Sneezings", it's shown to be strong enough to wrap around a pole and support her weight while dangling from it.
- Her tail proves to be useful in battle on numerous occasions--like Mandy's tail, Fluttershy is able to scoop up things with her tail and fling it, creating a whip sound.
Speaks Fluent Animal: Her special talent is communicating with creatures (odd and normal) on a different level than most ponies. She can also understand them literally. She treats the ones that don't rely on charades as Intelligible Unintelligible.
Stealth Expert: Due to how naturally quiet she is, there have been a few times where she is chosen to carry out the stealth part of a plan, such as in "Fickle Love". She succeeds with flying colors, even going so far as to apologize to Olive and meekly explain the situation.
Super Speed: Rarely exhibited, but she has shown to be able to keep up with Mandy (who herself is a speedy flier).
Talking the Monster to Death: She's done this on multiple occasions, from Centigurps to Daves.
Un-Sorcerer: Unlike most Pegasi, she is a weak flier, and although she is getting better with Mandy's assistance, she prefers to keep her hooves on the ground. She compensates for this by showing an affinity for nature and animals, more like an Earth pony.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Relationships]All of the Other Reindeer: Due to her poor flying ability, none of the fillies in Cloudsdale treated her very well. Even as an adult, there have been times where the entire Squad, or even the entire town is against her (like "Flutterbye").
Childhood Friends: Mostly with Rainbow Dash, but also with Mandy. In the case of the former, most of their closeness as adults comes from being pegasi and Cloudsdale natives, but as children, they were already together around the age for flight camp. For the latter, Fluttershy was revealed to be very kind to Mandy as the two grew up, keeping her under wraps when Olive was out on cases (as Mandy would get emotional when Olive left). It's partially what spurred Ms. O to make the two partners along with Pinkie Pie, being the first Director to form a three-partner trio.
Defeat Means Friendship: Her mindset for defeating villains. She especially takes a liking to Kevin Noisemaker.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Responsible to her freeloading slacker brother Zephyr Breeze's Foolish.
Friend To All Children: Since she works with children and is very kind and respectful to them, this is a given. But she is especially close with some children, like Mandy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
The Friends Who Never Hang:
- She isn't seen hanging out with other ponies as much as Pinkie Pie and Mandy. At times there will be episodes where she and a select handful of characters go on an adventure together or encounter/cause an issue, but it rarely improves the friendship bond between them.
The Load: Ms. O has remarked that Fluttershy is this a few times whenever she's annoyed and think she's alone. When Fluttershy hears it, she politely agrees, much to Ms. O's chagrin.
Morality Pet: Is seen as this to the Squad as a whole. While she does hold a position just like other characters in the show (save Peaches) do, it's one of the lowest ranking positions due to the symbol that represents it (since rank is determined by how many sides a position's symbol has). Because of this, she looks down upon herself. However, she is not above giving advice to others and helping out when needed.
The Millstone: In "Four Play" she attempts to take over Mandy's work for her while the hybrid takes a well-deserved vacation. Needless to say, Fluttershy underestimated just how much work Mandy does on the daily.
Odd Friendship: Has one with many humans, almost as much as many ponies, like Rainbow Dash. She is especially close with Mandy, despite the pair being two separate species (and one by transformation) and despite their personalities being vastly different.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Fluttershy's quiet, timid personality makes her pure Blue Oni to all of her friends.
Team Mom: Mainly towards creatures, whom she feeds and takes care of along with Ocean.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Rainbow Dash's Tomboy.
Vitrolic Best Buds: A rather unique example. As kind and patient as she attempts to be, nearly every last one of her friends manages to exasperate or terrify her by accident.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Other]Butt-Monkey: Usually gets one end of the stick of this; the other end belongs to Agent Mandy.
Children in Tow: In "A Tour of Duty" she is seen leading agents-in-training around Headquarters, using the same harness Ms. O once used.
Demoted to Extra: Gets to be this in some episodes, sometimes not even having a speaking line.
Evil Laugh: She has one in "Flutterbye" that could give villains a run for their money.
Go Ye Heroes, Go and Die: Tends to draw these as both sender and recipient.
Immune to Mind Control: Lampshaded by Todd in one episode when Fluttershy visits his Home for Villains.
Meaningful Name: She is a weak flier and she is very shy. Similarly, she has a special place in her heart for butterflies and they are her cutie mark.
Out of Focus: The series focuses on the exploits of, well, Peaches and Mandy, but it also focuses on Pinkie, Fluttershy, and a few other human characters. Despite this, Fluttershy is sometimes this in episodes, often not getting many speaking lines.
Squee!: Does this adorably in "Glimmer of Hope".
Vocal Dissonance: Like Mandy, her voice gets a lot deeper when she cries.
Vocal Evolution: Andrea Libman's voice for Fluttershy was quiet almos to the point of a whisper. Later on, the character has a lot more volume and enthusiasm, and even sounds a tad goofy.
The Voiceless: In many episodes, she is seen, but not given any speaking lines.[/spoiler]
