No wonder she suffers from low self-confidence.

We've seen her react with the entirely appropriate amount of fear from a Hydra which lets face it is pretty much a dragon just with multiple heads. Sure it can't fly but Fluttershy so often forgets that she can fly that I'm not buying a dragon is more threatening because it can fly. I supose we can argue about breathing fire vs four heads and which is more frightening but it seems unlikely that she'd treat a hydra as a "regular" threat and a dragon as so terrifying that the mere sound of it paralyzed her.

Now for the fun part. Let's apply what we learned here to Fluttershy's actions during the Grand Galloping Gala. First, go back a few episodes to A Bird in the Hoof. Fluttershy is trying very hard to gently nurse Princess Celestia's sickly pet bird, Philomena, back to health. However, Philomena proves to be highly uncooperative with Fluttershy. The bird refuses to take its medicine, have some soup, or get some sleep. Fluttershy is quick to move on to other medical techniques whenever her patient makes it very clear that she won't accept whatever technique the pegasus offers. Enter Twilight Sparkle. Upon realizing what's going on, she strongly insists that Fluttershy should stop being a pushover and FORCE the bird to take whatever steps necessary to make its recovery! To demonstrate, Twilight forces Philomena to take the medicine Fluttershy gave up on, trap it in a cage in an attempt to keep it still and more. Twilight's methods are way more aggressive than those of gentle Fluttershy and she can't wrap her head around them… yet.

[[WMG: Fluttershy was very sickly when she was young.]]
Because she was so sick, she couldn't go outside very often, so she recieved little socialization from other fillies early in her life. Even when she was healthy enough to start going out, she was still left weak from being sick and bedridden. This explains why she was initially a weak flier when she was young. It's also worth noting that in her story in "The Cutie Mark Chonricles", she is thinner and smaller than any of the other fillies we see. (her legs look particularly thin) Having very little socialization with other fillies, she was scared and nervous, causing her to be so shy. Going to the ground and seeing the creatures gave her motivation to go out more, allowing her to grow stronger and healthier as we see her now.

Kindness is extremely close to love on the emotional scale, so it seems natural that love-hungry changelings would be attracted to her. The Changeling won’t hurt her, he just sits there and feeds on the Love Fluttershy has for her animals.

[[WMG: Fluttershy [[DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery uses her shyness to get away with things]].]]
Think about it: In "Dragonshy", she causes avalanches, Applejack is forced to carry her up the mountain herself and she generally holds the group back at every turn and only steps up to the dragon when it almost kills the others. She's just as suspicious and xenophobic towards Zecora as the others in "Bridle Gossip", causes the Parasprite problem in "Swarm of the Century" to get ten times ''worse'' by keeping one, even though she knows how destructive they are. She attacks Rarity's dress in "Suited for Success" with trivial criticisms, gives Rainbow Dash a panic attack in "The Sonic Rainboom", ditches Pinkie Pie and Rarity in the desert in "The Last Round up" along with Rainbow Dash and Twilight (but only Dash gets called out on this). Rarity's reaction after her vicious TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to her and Pinkie in "Putting Your Hoof Down" is to blame Iron Will, not Fluttershy. She tramples Rainbow Dash in "Dragon Quest" and in "Magic Duel" she has to be dragged outside the barrier by her pets to get help. Yes, she is the holder of the Element of Kindness, BUT it has already been shown that just because you hold an element doesn't mean you act it all the time- Pinkie Pie is Laughter but has shown to be capable of being ''incredibly'' depressed and crazy, Rarity is Generosity but she can be selfish at times, Applejack is Honesty but is capable of lying, etc. In fact, half the time the Mane Six's episodes focus of them trying to overcome their personality flaws. Fluttershy might be kind, but she obviously ''does'' have a mean streak, it's just rare for her to get called out on it.

The Powers That Be decided to implement that as becoming Fluttershy, perhaps because this sudden onset of emotion and empathy was unprecedented and wanted supervision in the form of a relative SugarBowl like Equestria (in agreement with Princess Celestia, maybe?) - worst case scenario for the Incubator race is that Kyuubeyshy is no longer useful as an contracting agent and simply cuts ties and make it Celestia's problem. Once Kyuubey was reborn as Fluttershy, she finds that GoodFeelsGood and indulges in it, but doesn't become a GenkiGirl like Pinkie Pie because she's hit with a '''massive''' amount of remorse and guilt over the leonine actions employed in regards to contracting previous Puella Magi that she can now empathize with as well.\\\

** It's quite apparent that being [[TheIngenue a straight-up ingenue]] is not going to cut it, especially in an Incubator's line of work - if The Kyubeyshy Experiment is to work, Fluttershy would have to become a GuileHeroine almost by default, both to get contracted girls to actually fight (especially if Fluttershy's conscious means she can't hide the truth about the nature of Witches and Soul Gems without obfuscation) as well as very likely fighting against any machinations of regular Incubators. The Incubator Race would very likely test Kyubeyshy by comparing her to a regular Incubator - even if the latter would appear to have an advantage by way of not having empathy as an automatic mental block, who is to say the latter would not attempt any and every method of having Kyubeyshy judged defective, since their whole modus operendi is [[IDidWhatIHadToDo "anything to push back the heat-death of the universe"]]?
** A friendship with Discord would mean Fluttershy might even be able to pick up a couple of tricks of her own to use.

This all comes to an apex with a crossover into the Madokaverse, involving a dramatic reveal of her true nature to the rest of the Mane Six (perhaps she has to contract one of them out of very dire circumstances?), coming to terms with her guilt, and a looming rapproachment with Homura.

She also manages to walk out of the shop three separate times, in all of said personas, and catch Rarity off-guard 'every single time' - a feat that's usually reserved for ponies like Pinkie Pie or Discord himself. In addition, Discord regularly makes use of talking to duplicates (which she ends up utilizing for herself in Discordant Harmony). Since she's Fluttershy, though, this ability only makes itself known when she's under extreme stress, as she'd rather not cause problems if she can help it.

Their only main role together whatsoever was Buckball Season (from Season 6), but it also started two other ponies – specifically, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. But why not just the two of them this time?

[[WMG: Fluttershy's been hanging around Discord so much that she's able to use chaos magic, if only just.]]
Biggest reason for this is the entirety of Fake It 'Til You Make it: Supposedly, she's moving around Rarity For You at incredible speeds just to keep up her three different shop-pony personas. She also manages to walk out of the shop three separate times, in all of said personas, and catch Rarity off-guard 'every single time' - a feat that's usually reserved for ponies like Pinkie Pie or Discord himself. In addition, Discord regularly makes use of talking to duplicates (which she ends up utilizing for herself in Discordant Harmony). Since she's Fluttershy, though, this ability only makes itself known when she's under extreme stress, as she'd rather not cause problems if she can help it.
