What makes Fluttershy cute?

Well, Fluttershy is definitely does very well for herself when the Mane 6 are ranked in overall fan popularity.   

 

When I first started watching MLP, my favorite pony was Rainbow Dash.  But as time went on, Fluttershy won me over.  And yes, Fluttershy is VERY cute.  Andrea Libman does a great job with her voice and that's only the beginning of the cute things about her.  I think every adorable thing about her character has been touched on in this thread already. 

 

But it's not Fluttershy's cuteness that made her my favorite pony.  It's the amazing inner courage she possesses that impresses me more than anything else.

Its obviously her squeals, how she is often afraid of everything, and the little things she does that makes everyone 'd'awwwww' for her.

The problem is that you can find everone of mane6 cute in their own way. But Fluttershy is most dangerous for your heart. Her look is important (those eyes ) but when she acted like flutterbitch or flutterage it was hard to find her cute.

The most important is her behavior, how she acts, her personality and interactions with others and with environment. She is the most fragile and vulnerable of mane6, you just feel a need to protect her.

What I find makes her cute is that she is shy, polite and so caring to others. She doesn't show off and she thinks about others first before herself. This is of course the regular Fluttershy not the one that was being controlled by anger.

her personality, voice, sweetness, shyness, etc etc etc, and if we re being physical, her eyes. She's like the very cute critters she take care for
