Pony Spotlight: Fluttershy

     Lastly, Fluttershy. Fluttershy is a pegasus pony with an affinity for nature. Often times she will be communing with nature, or tending to the many creatures of the forest. her home is absolutely brimming with all sorts of wild animals who have an affection for Fluttershy.  Although when it comes to having so communicate with her fellow ponies she is quite meek. as it says in her name she is very shy, her voice is always carried softly. Her low self esteem creates many obstacles for her that she is reluctant to face, but with the strength and support of her friends she is carried forward, yet is a valuable asset when you least expect it. When it comes to defending her friends she sets her concerns aside and confronts the problem head on.
     personally this is my favorite pony of the main six ponies. Her concern for others, and patience is never-ending even though it is rarely rewarded she persists. Her shyness may seem over the top at times, it gives her a flaw making her both realistic and lovable. there are even episodes focused on her overcoming her internal demons, facing her shyness and overcoming it, but the writers still maintain that development while keeping her shy nature still in tact which is central to her personality as a character of the show.
    I think that this persistant unconditional kindness often goes unnoticed and is vital in maintaining a friendship. for this reason Fluttershy is my favorite as she embodies the element of friendship: Kindness.
