Fourth in a series of My Little Pony characters as first level D&D adventurers.

Fluttershy was a tough nut to crack, if for no other reason than that (more than anyone else on the cast) she's the least like your typical D&D character. Namely, she seems to be a pacifist. In a normal game, I'd say she would be at a major disadvantage (having no weapons or combat spells); however, in a campaign set in Equestria's setting (and really, where else would you play her?), she's actually set to be incredibly effective, as the vast majority of enemy encounters are going to comprise of monsters or animals.

So, anyway, with no weapons or anything approaching armor to design, I went the disney princess route. The dress is mostly a combination of Snow White and Princess Aurora's peasant-wear, as I was aiming for something visually interesting, but a bit more practical than typical princess-wear would allow. I think I fell a bit short on practicality (if I were to do it again, I'd make it more peasant-sh), but the embroidery turned out okay, so who cares?



Some may disagree with her low charisma score, considering she's incredibly popular and (in canon), very beautiful. This is where my experience as an individual gamer comes into play; me and my group have always considered Charisma to be a measure of the characters force of personality instead of attractiveness (when we want to know how pretty/handsome someone is, we usually just roll a Comeliness stat). Being very withdrawn and-well, shy-I figure that's her biggest weakness.





By the way, "Dragonshy" is my favorite episode of the series so far, mostly because it's a really solid adventure story. It also cemented my opinion of Rarity as the party rogue; lady jacked that treasure like a pro.



FOR OTHER NERDS:

Shoot, I made a math mistake. HP should be 9, not 8.
