Fluttershy is a Pegasus pony who befriends Twilight. She's normally very shy and quiet and usually keeps to tending her animals. She is the weilder of the element of Kindness.
History
When Fluttershy initially met Twilight she was too scared do more than mumble quietly but opened up when she met Spike. She was in charge of music during the Summer Sun celebration.
In the second episode she took part in the search for the elements of harmony. When the group encountered an attacking manticore Fluttershy was able to tame it by kindly talking to it and removing a thorn from its paw.
In the third episode Fluttershy's pet bunny Angel is introduced. Angel seems to boss Fluttershy around on occasion. Some argue that Angel acts like he does to get the usually reserved Fluttershy to come out of her shell as the other ponies try to do the same for her.
During the Griffon the Brush Off episode it is revealed that Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie Pie which surprisingly means that Fluttershy may be the oldest of the ponies.
During the Dragonshy episode we see Fluttershy put aside her fears of fully grown dragons to stand up and protect her friends. This shows that underneath the soft voice and the usually kind nature there does exist a strong will.
Personality
Fluttershy seems to have a great love for all animals except full-grown dragons. She is more open around animals than she is around other ponies. This ability to handle animals seems to be unique to Fluttershy who unlike other pegasus ponies is not involved with the weather manipulation of Ponyville.
In Dragonshy she is revealed to be extremely terrified of grown dragons and is almost unable to function out of fear. When she saw her friends being harmed by the dragon, though, she was able to overcome her fear and talk down to the dragon.
