Fluttershy was a female Pegasus pony who represents the element of Kindness and one of the six Guardians of Friendship.
She is presumed dead by the start of the G5 era, having not shown up in other contexts than Sunny Starscout's imaginary playtime at the start of My Little Pony: A New Generation, and with Discord griefing her loss in the early comics.
Personality[]
True to her name, Fluttershy is very shy and introverted. Despite her introversion, Fluttershy is extremely kind and patient with other ponies and animals. She tried to see the good in every pony and situation.
Appearance[]
Fluttershy is a light yellow pegasus with teal eyes and a long, pink mane and tail. Her cutie mark is of three pink butterflies with blue bodies and antennae.
Concept Art[]
Earlier G5 ideas featured redesigns of the Generation 4 characters from the cartoon. Fluttershy has changed from a pegasus pony to a unicorn. Her symbol remains butterfly-related and her mane remains pink, but multiple concepts have added vines or flowers in her hair. Markings are sparse, but green as a secondary color is often seen.

My Little Pony: A New Generation[]
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash
Sunny Starscout owns a Fluttershy figurine that she plays with. Under the control of Sunny, Fluttershy excitedly runs along with her friends to an adventure. She later asks Twilight Sparkle if a foe they're going to face is scary. She proclaims that she will spread hugs alongside her friends. She is scared and runs away from Rarity (under Sprout's control) attacking the others.
My Little Pony (comics)[]
Through the reign of Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy remained in Ponyville, but would regularly venture to Canterlot to provide consultation to the Princess. She operated an animal sanctuary in Ponyville with her good friend Discord. The two taught young Ponies about the virtue of Kindness and maintaining the natural world.
One day, a now middle-aged Fluttershy was shopping at Ponyville's marketplace. She was rudely cut in line by a mysterious Alicorn. When Fluttershy protested the gesture, the Alicorn coldly dismissed her and violently knocked her to the ground. Fluttershy recovered from the event, but the Alicorn's malicious deeds across Equestria continued to negatively impact her. The Alicorn's lies and bullying caused great distrust and conflict between the Pony kinds which caused the parents of her students to forbid them from attending her sessions.
Fluttershy participated in an obscure battle that temporarily defeated the Alicorn. However, sometime later she disappeared from Equestria along with the rest of the Mane 6. Her legacy would be kept alive by Discord, as he continued to be a caretaker to a number of animals in the now abandoned Canterlot.
