boiteporte 591 June 24, 2014 Share June 24, 2014 Well, the show talked about Twilight's parents, Applejack's parents, Rarity's and Pinkie Pie's parents. I don't think we heard about Rainbow's parents or Fluttershy's parents. But, as always, it does not mean that they don't have any. They will bring the parents in when and if they feel it is necessary to do so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloquence 2,076 June 24, 2014 Share June 24, 2014 I for one am very curious about Flutter's parents. It seems to me like she left them and Cloudsdale at quite a young age, much like how Pinkie left the rock farm when she was (presumably) still relatively young. They actually have some interesting parallels in their backstories, when you think about it... but that's a thread for another day I suppose 3 My Equestrian Empire Characters Fluttershy - Eloquence - Chamomile - Ginseng - Lovestruck Ask Me Questions!

My thoughts exactly. We've had very few glimpses of her childhood, but in what we saw she was all alone, when you would think an adult would be looking out for her. I mean she could have died for Celestia's sake! 1 My Equestrian Empire Characters Fluttershy - Eloquence - Chamomile - Ginseng - Lovestruck Ask Me Questions!

Pinkamena-Pills 6,839 June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 I personally want to know more about Scootaloo's parents but ya... I guess it would be nice to see what Fluttersy's parents are like. I just hope they aren't super assertive and Fluttershy is the exact opposite of them lol Oatmeal, are you crazy?!

Guest June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 Is it just me, or is she the only one without parents? (In the show at least, for I have not read many of the comics) I wonder why that is... Fluttershy is very likely to have parents. Very little has been said about her parents in the show and even in the comics. If her parents are to show up in the series, it would be in the comics. Not in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takai 1,060 June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 Well, Fluttershy and RD are from Cloudsdale. And honestly, how often are they in Cloudsdale? I just don't think they're relevant right now is all. If we do get another Cloudsdale based episode in the future, it's a possibility we'll see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind Chaser 4,768 June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 (edited) Absentee parents are a constant on the show, really because there's no room to bring parents in on the events, and it just so happens that Fluttershy and Scootaloo have both gone the longest time without any mention of possible parents (and Rainbow Dash until "Games Ponies Play", but even that was in flashback). That opens a box of headcanons on Pegasus culture valuing self-sufficiency. Edited June 25, 2014 by Wind Chaser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frith is Magick 1,471 June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 My theory on the matter is that Fluttershy's parents are Earth Ponies (Unicorn possible, but Earth Pony makes much more sense). We know that it is possible for Earth Pony parents to give birth to Pegasi (the Cakes), Making this a reasonable possibility. If her parents are Earth Ponies, then perhaps they sent her to Cloudsdale so that she could learn to fly and be with other Pegasi, and Fluttershy lived either with a relative or adoptive family. Being raised as such, compounded by being picked on, made her quite shy and destroyed her confidence, hence her inability as a filly to fly well. There are one or two other threads on Pony genetics, and it has been suggested that having parents of another race may leave the offspring with some traits of that race. If this is true, Earth Pony parents (or weak Pegasi blood in general) may explain Fluttershy's affinity for critters and poor flying ability (tying into the idea of Pegasi magic and Scootaloo being unable to fly) . 1 Keep flyin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma 768 June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 Twilight's parents were obviously shown. Pinkie Pie's parents were shown. Rarity's parents were shown. Rainbow Dash's parents were briefly shown in her flashback during the first episode mentioning The Equestria Games. None of Fluttershy's family has been shown. Applejack's grandmother (Granny Smith) has been shown as well as her huge family of earth ponies, but not a single reference has been made about her mother and father. Curious, most curious.

Flutter's lover <3 8,206 June 26, 2014 Share June 26, 2014 Funny, I actually did a blog about this a little while ago. It's more about my headcanon about her past and her parents and why she's so introverted. http://mlpforums.com/blog/1553/entry-11970-fluttershys-parents-and-background/ Fluttershy's lover, she's my waifu.

Solid 1,327 June 26, 2014 Share June 26, 2014 (edited) There is no official things yes. I've browsed through some pony stuff and this interpretation of Fluttershy's mother is just...beautiful. (best interpretation I saw so far, it's my background too :3) Only problem I had was her cutie mark. I felt really guilty for killing her off in my fanfiction, but it had to be done...

Frith is Magick 1,471 June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 What if the reason she and RD are so close is because RD's family was her host family in Cloudsdale... Excellent point; I never thought of it like that, and it certainly does explain her acting as a sort of protector for Flutters in their youth. Perhaps RD's parents were close friends with Fluttershy's, so in absence of relatives in Cloudsdale, she was sent to live with them. If they were actually related by blood, it likely would have been mentioned in the show, so what you're suggesting seems quite possible. 2 Keep flyin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DND 2,355 June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 I have not read the comics, but you're right. The mane six pegasi need more backstories- actually, we maybe did see RD's dad, but it wasn't really confirmed. So I guess Flutters is the least explored backstory character.
