I can agree as a Pony, Flutters is *well* OP. She has AJ-level strength, her flight disfunction apparently doesn't apply when animals are involved (that cartload of frogs, for example) or she is determined enough (hurricane fluttershy) and I don't think anypony who can stare down a full grown dragon has a problem with self-confidence. 

I think her (rather frequently overridden) shyness and introversion is more like a safety catch than a restriction; it also seems to lead to everypony wishing to please her (including an ancient chaos spirit) with the obvious exception of one evil rabbit and the occasional villain...

I don't do "best pony" really - but if I did, it would be Fluttershy so.. yeah The only MLP figure I have for myself is a tiny Flutters ,and she sits on my bedside table

What can I say?  she is adorable and stuff...

[Flutterstep 47,100]

I don’t really have a true favourite pony. It’s like picking your favourite song. So much choice for different occasions.

Indeed. I also have a soft spot for Starlight, Sunset, and of course Derpy; Twi is adorkable, but Luna is Best Princess.

But Fluttershy is most adorable, and would make me feel protective as it is heartbreaking to see her cry...

@Nsxile Fluttershy is one of the most flawed characters I’ve seen in a show. She’s hardly a Mary Sue. Shyness alone is a massive weakness, but she’s also a weak flyer, lacks stamina, has little confidence in herself, is very sensitive, can be a coward, has stage fright, is scared of confrontation, has many other phobias, can’t fight and is incrediblely naive; Rainbow Dash is the polar opposite. 

Fluttershy is one of the least flawed characters I've ever seen; she isn't a weak flyer, considering Hurricane Fluttershy showed that she was not. Also she just happens to be a professional buckball player without prior experience at it or even having to practice at it at all. As for having stage fright, so did Rainbow Dash in Sonic Rainboom. As for being scared of confrontation, she wasn't so shy about that in Dragon Quest, or Dragonshy, or The Mysterious Mare Do Well. 'She can't fight' yet threw a bear to the ground and kicked RD in the stomach?  Incredibly naive? In what way exactly?

She has significant flaws; her major one is the one she actively fights, which is her shyness, introversion, background-pony nature. She can use her determination to power though that, and often does, but as it is her inherent nature, she is more comfortable when she doesn't have to. Having now seen her family, it is unsurprising she is like that (and more surprising her brother is the way HE is)

A lesser one is actually a conditioned response from when she was younger and was bullied for being a weak flier, in matters that don't involve animals, she lacks self-confidence and backs down from challenges; usually she has to be pushed to get past that, either by her friends or by circumstances.

But the remaining flaw that she struggles with is letting small successes go to her head, and going too far; given how OP she is, she can do SERIOUS damage if she loses control, and as we see in Hoof Down and Fake It, once she gets into a persona she gives it 120% (it is possible that the "stare" is also an example of this; there is no reason why a small yellow pony should intimidate a fully grown dragon or overwhem the enchanted gaze of a basilisk, but here we are. Her "tough love" for Dashie in Tanks for the Memories is also notable)

This is Pony though; the Mane 6 each have their unique flaws and reasons why the support of the others is so important in them reaching their life goals.  If they didn't, they really WOULD be mary sues.

I miss the “smile” reaction icon on this site. 

[Nsxile 27,229]

There was a smile reaction? 

[ExplosionMare 18,067]

Yes

[Nsxile 27,229]

OK then... I guess I'll just take your word for it

It was a Pinkie smile. So cute. 

[DubWolf 17,281]

Pinkie is best. Just love her energy and always being fun-loving and see-no-evil.

Best to me I mean  . I suppose you could argue she probably didn’t develop as much like Fluttershy or Twilight, but maybe she didn’t have to develop  .

[CypherHoof 26,483]

Been a few smile reactions..

Site has done an awesome job on themed reactions at times.

[DubWolf 17,281]

We need a smiling Pinkie one  . Although Pinkamena is pretty fitting

[Flutterstep 47,100]

We need a Maud reaction pack

I think there has only been one maud, and it was the first ellipsis posted.

for other one-offs though, we have had a pear butter laughing, and lyra showing us how a human would "yey"

[Flutterstep 47,100]

The Pear and Lyra ones were great!  I remember there was a Vinyl one too.

Yup. I didn't say it was an exhausive list
