>>34422953I didn't care for her at first, but over time she truly, genuinely grew on me like mycelium. I saw how she grew as a character, but retained her core self. It was a beautiful thing for me to witness as I saw her grow to treasure her new friends and friendship above all as a learned experience. In a way, she projected what I really desire, something I've never really had, which is actual, genuine friends and not just acquaintances.
Her past, though still shrouded in mystery, kind of hooked me and in a way helped to emotionally invest me into her character. Sure, she's part of the spinoff principally, but I love the idea of her starting over in a new land, but retaining a connection to her old home. Sometimes I'll fantasize about traveling back to Equestria with her on knowledge quests. She's not a pushover and is one to take initiative, not have her hand held. This is something I deeply desire and respect in a partner.
Which means this essentially rules Fluttershy out entirely for me.
It also helps greatly that her VA is pure sex. Her Design is amazing as well. Hot colors, but collected and restrained until she isn't. Anyways, that's about what I appreciate about her.
