From the very first episode, Fluttershy was my favorite pony and has been ever since. I tend to gravitate to characters I can relate to and Fluttershy is certainly the most relatable. I'm shy, love animals (used to want to be a veterinarian) and hate conflict to the point where I willnot say a word if it means hurting someone I care about. Granted, Fluttershy has shown that she can handle tough love, as seen in "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies" and I hope I can follow her example someday.
Plus she's so sweet and adorable; how can anypony NOT love her?
