Fluttershy lives in a small cottage near the Everfree Forest and takes care of animals, the most prominent of her charges being Angel the bunny. She represents the element of kindness. As her name might suggest, she is incredibly timid and easily frightened. She has a warm heart though and will try to show kindness towards anyone she meets. Despite her typically shy behavior, Fluttershy occasionally demonstrates more assertiveness and confidence. She's also shown a more aggressive side on rare occasions. Despite being a Pegasus, Fluttershy does not usually help with the weather and does not use her wings as much as the other winged ponies. Fluttershy's special talent is communicating with animals, which she uses to provide them with food, medical attention, and other forms of care when they need it. In addition, a host of animals have taken up residence in her home, which she attends to and looks after on an everyday basis. "The Stare" is the name given to a particular ability Fluttershy employs when dealing with misbehaving animals. This ability is powerful as it can 'control' chickens up to her pet bunny, Angel. However, Fluttershy doesn't really like to use the Stare. Only when someone's life is in danger or to maintain order, the Stare is used.
