I am asking what other people think of Fluttershy as a character. For me, she is my favorite pony, and possibly my favorite fictional female character. When I watched Season 1 of MLP: FIM, I always found her episodes the best of the Mane Six. I can relate to her because she may seem to be shy, but deep down, she is capable of so much more. A Bird in the Hoof is my favorite episode of that show, especially because I can relate to Fluttershy's frustration and eventual despair upon seeing Philomena "die".
That episode gives me so many good memories, especially because I've had many incidents in life where I think something bad is going to happen because I made a serious mistake, only to notice that there aren't any actual consequences. I live in a household where my father yells at me for making even little mistakes, and the benevolence Celestia shows to Fluttershy is something that reminds me of teachers I had before, especially Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Parramore. That episode is one reason I love Fluttershy.
What do you think of Fluttershy?
