IN CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Butterfly
Canon: Fantasy Life
OU/AU/OC: OU
Canon Point: Post-game, before going to Origin Island
History: Fantasy Life history
Personality: At first, Butterfly comes across as somebody that doesn’t know a lot of things. She is completely unaware of the goings on of the world and how things are supposed to work. This is because before traveling down to the planet of Riviera, she was a resident of the moon Lunares. Sure, she heard stories about the world down below, but they were never a subject she thought she would get to see firsthand. She is fascinated with the world. At best, this means that Butterfly has an awe and wonder with the experiences she’s never had before – such as exploring vast plains of grass and trees, to watching the sun rise and set, to even being able to wander the streets with the bustle of people and chatter. Life is an adventure, and the opportunities and experiences that being on the world was a fascinating experience filled with joys and sorrows. At its worst, however, she has limited knowledge of how to interact with people. When she had the opportunity to stay In the player’s home she proudly proclaimed herself to be a freeloader, has voiced her unfiltered and unkind opinions freely, and has talk down on people who she deemed arrogant, cowardly, or crude. This, of course, has gotten her into a lot of trouble as she bristled the tempers and egos of people who would not think twice to pin a talking butterfly on display inside a wooden box.
Unfortunately, her naivety often works to her great disadvantage to another characteristic that Yuelia possess: her outspokenness. For better or for worse, she constantly puts her heart on her sleeve (well… if butterflies had sleeves). The first time we meet Butterfly, she is screaming at the top of her lungs for help as two goons attempt to accost her. When they did not respond favorably to the information of their city’s peril, Butterfly made quick work at calling the two thugs nincompoops. Even after the player saves her, she persists to whisper her thoughts and impressions on everything. Again, at its worst this means she will sarcastically snarking people who yammer, poke holes at people who have too big egos, or to talk on and on about adventures that she had or places that she’s seen. At its best, however, she will ask questions that needs to be asked and provide praise and encouragement to the people who she likes or admires.
Despite the snark and the tendency to get on people’s nerves, deep down she has a desire for everybody’s happiness and well-being. At first, she wanted to save Riveria from the threat of the doomstones because it was important to the goddess of Lunares, but as she spent more time with the people of Riveria, she had the opportunity to see the hopes and dreams of many people. She saw how even the haughtiest of jerks could have noble ambitions, and how acts that may seem questionable held deep concern and protectiveness over loved ones. This kindled a soft spot within her. Butterfly has a love for sentimentality and enjoys listening to the stories of other people. Sure, she may be glib – maybe even rude at times – but the reason for her glibness is to provide guidance as a sort of big sister to the people that she meets. She truly believes that when people seek out their truest wishes, they will in turn offer something valuable which allows other people to fulfill their own wishes.
Strengths: For all intents and purposes, Butterfly is a perfectly normal, with a few notable exceptions. The first of these is an incredibly durable body. Her trip down from Lunares wasn’t the most… graceful one. In fact, her impact crater is eventually found and goes pretty deep into the earth. The second of which is the fact that she is originally from Lunares. This means that her body glows with an energy for the heavens, though only the most magically astute would be able to recognize it at a glance. She also possesses her own unique knowledge of the pantheon of her world – who her god (Divinius) and goddess is (Celestia – no relation), who their children are, and how the world was created.
When it comes to magic, she possesses the unique ability to enhance and collect the wishes of others. When a person states a true wish – the type of life-altering proclamation that speaks to the truest depths of a person’s soul – she is able to enhance the feeling of purpose and contentment to almost literally embody the entirety of a person’s being. The handful of people she has done this to has stated it is a warm and pleasant feeling as though everything is right with the world. The effect doesn’t last long, however. In this way, Butterfly can be a repository for the wishes of the world which she seeks to use as a way to reverse the effects of the doomstones and prevent the sky from falling on top of Riveria.
Weaknesses: Butterfly has a naïve sense of the world which often gets her into trouble. As said before, this is made worse with her mouthiness. She is often dependent on others to be able to tell her more about the world, and to be able to help her with stuff like food and rent.
As a butterfly, she is extremely limited in her ability to defend herself. She just has her butterfly wings, her quick wits, and a rather sturdy body but that’s about it. Should anything happen that requires more immediate care she’s entirely dependent on other people to take care of things for her.
While it’s also a source of strength, Butterfly also has an incredibly strong sense of right and wrong. For her, simple things like lying or accidentally causing harm would be difficult for her to stomach. Whenever this happens, she feels compelled to right her own wrongs. She is also a consummate meddler and constantly butts her proboscis into things that may not be her business. While this can be a very good thing, with her highly opinionated nature and tendency to let her emotions run away from her she may have a tendency to jump into problems without a full understanding of what is going on and the motivations behind them. Worse, she can be just as harsh on herself when she finds herself unable to fulfill her own goals or maintain her own high standards.
Lastly, she has an odd sense of humor which enjoys watching people squirm at times. She enjoys harmless pranks and has no problem catching people off-guard. She also has a great appreciation for puns and double-meanings which can range from being very clever to incredibly out there. What, there’s not much to do on Lunares, okay?

First Person: [The screen comes on and there’s… nobody. Ah wait, no! There’s a butterfly. Bouncing up and down and shining as brightly as a twinkling star.]>
Whooooa, this is cool! Hey! Can anybody hear me? Hellooooo is anybody there? Wow! This is sooo much more convenient then yelling at the top of your lungs! Now there is no excuse when somebody says that they don’t hear you!
Alright, so, yes, I should probably focus and not waste time on this thing? Can you even waste time here? Hmm… well, that’s a question that can be answered later, I guess. So, right, my name is… Butterfly. Yeah, yeah, I know. Pretty obvious. Wanna argue about it? Actually, that’s probably not a very good idea. I mean, what are you going to say when you lose to a butterfly? That’s gotta be a new low if I ever heard of one. And I spent most of my early life crawling on my belly! Ha!
So, hey, obviously this isn’t the world that I wanted to be around, and obviously that means that this whole thing is somebody else’s doing, so I want to know some answers. Um. Please? I mean you can’t all be displaced people from different worlds, right? Right.
Oh, and hey, if there’s anybody else that also has room for a butterfly in their home, I’m definitely in the market for one! I don’t need much room, honest! Just a dishful of sugar water and maybe an unused corner of the room! C’mon! You won’t even notice I was there!!
Third Person: Butterfly flitted her way around Ponyville, her eyes full of curiosity and intrigue. So, an entire world of ponies, huh? She had seen many different things in her travels: a city founded by pirates, an elf city tucked away in the deepest part of the wood, and even a furrlin city floating on an island in the sky! So, why wouldn’t a sentient race of ponies found their own town where things like hayburgers and apple cider? Actually the apple cider sounds like a pretty good idea and she wondered if she could figure out how it was made to bring it back with her.
The different types of ponies were interesting, too! There were regular ponies, and winged ponies, and even ponies with horns! At first Butterfly thought that they might have had an unusual growth on their heads, but after seeing one levitate an entire shopping cart with glowing magic, she knew that there was more to the strange protrusion. With so many different types with such different abilities, she wondered if there were other types that hadn’t been discovered yet! Were there merponies? Or maybe even winter ponies? Could there even be ponies on the moon! These mysteries could not be denied! She wanted to find out more!
Still, there was one very important thing that needed addressing. An unmitigated truth that she just could not longer stay silent a moment longer:
“PONYVILLE? Of all the names that they could have made for this town they had to call it PONYVILLE?” Her proclamation was so loud that it caused a few nearby ponies to jump up and saunter away, irritated and confused at the loud insect.
That was not enough to quiet her down, though. “Seriously! With such a great opportunity to come up with a great name, the best they could come up with is Ponyville? I mean a city of talking ponies is amazing! Yeah, that’s it. It should have been called ‘The Amazing City of Talking Ponies’ I like it! And it would definitely go great in a brochure. Now just as long as we don’t have any other lame names like Capital City or the Crystal Kingdom or something, I’m sure me an Equestria will have nooo problems.”
