Fluttershy was a very appreciative pony, so of course she appreciated Twilight, especially after all they’ve been through together.

She always appreciated how Twilight was pretty much always patient with her timid nature. Most ponies would get tired of her constant fears and worries, even Rainbow Dash was at times, and they were childhood friends.

Twilight took her fears seriously and actually tried to reassure her that things would be fine. Fluttershy had to admit, Twilight was certainly more effective at it than most ponies due to the fact she took her feelings very seriously.

Twilight always offered Fluttershy encouragement whenever she was facing some sort of issue, like a fear of some sorts, even if the issues didn’t make much sense to Twilight, she still stuck by Fluttershy when she needed her, it was really something that Fluttershy loved about Twilight.

Fluttershy also appreciated Twilight for how she covered for her when Fluttershy took Celestia’s bird. Twilight was not a princess yet so she couldn’t exactly protect her from any punishment and Twilight could have also been punished for being an accomplice in Fluttershy’s thievery but she still kept Fluttershy’s crime a secret. Thankfully it all worked out in the end but there were definitely risks and Twilight was willing to take them, which Fluttershy found very brave.

She would always appreciate Twilight’s understanding nature. If Fluttershy was being honest, she trusted Twilight the most when it came to confessing to her friends about her relationship with Discord. Despite Twilight’s issues with Discord, she still supported Fluttershy’s decision to date the chaotic draconequus despite all the trouble he caused.

If Fluttershy was being honest, she wished she could’ve been a better friend to Twilight at times.

There were times when she felt like she wasn’t a good friend to Twilight. The wedding rehearsal being a big example about that, it goes without saying that everypony involved in leaving Twilight behind regretted what they did, especially with how much Chrysalis’ actions affected her.

Fluttershy was no fool, she knew Chrysalis had toyed with Twilight’s emotions like a puppet on strings, and given Twilight’s anxiety, it must have been torture for her.

Though of course she was so wrapped up in the wedding planning, she completely neglected the fake bride’s bratty attitude. 


Though Twilight still forgave Fluttershy, and Fluttershy always made sure that she wouldn’t make Twilight feel the same pain ever again, though despite a few mistakes in their friendship, Fluttershy felt she largely succeeded.

Ultimately Fluttershy would always appreciate Twilight for her understanding nature and encouraging attitude, she would also always remember Twilight for her bravery.
