The Mane Six vs the Mean Six!!! The battle between the true and the false begins. Chrysalis’ attempt to take over Equestria without her changeling subjects has brought us the meanest clones Equestria has ever known, and this time they and the original pony pals are battling each other for the right to be Equestria’s Mane Six! First up is our bearer of the Element of Kindness, Fluttershy, and her cruel, malevolent clone, Mean Fluttershy!

Fluttershy is a gentle and kind Pegasus pony who has been known for her sweetness and sincerity, which can charm just about any animal she meets, from tiny woodland creatures to the most powerful of mythical beasts. Fluttershy lives a peaceful life in her quaint cottage, although she lives with so many animal friends that can sometimes get a little noisy. While sometimes timid, soft-spoken, and lacking confidence in herself, Fluttershy has an inner strength that she uses to help others. She sees the good in everypony.

While the real Fluttershy is compassionate, sweet, and kind, Mean Fluttershy was cruel, sadistic, and a big meanie. She even loved to torture animals for no reason at all. That’s something Fluttershy would never do! But it was so nice to know that the Tree of Harmony gave that bully and her not-so-nice pals what they deserved.

Mean Fluttershy is back, and while she and the original Fluttershy may share the same grace, differences are unmistakable. Fluttershy’s mane and tail curl sweetly while Mean Fluttershy’s are twisted like her heart. Sweet little Flutters has clean green butterflies with pretty pink wings as her cutie mark, while her nasty copy’s butterflies are sickly pink with icky green wings. While our gentle Fluttershy cares for animals of all shapes and sizes, her evil twin heartlessly and remorselessly tortures them for her own sadistic amusement. And finally, Fluttershy is as kind as an angel and has helped even several meanies become good creatures, but Mean Fluttershy is an cruel as a devil and would rather turn decent souls into meanies due to her evil treatment towards them.

The Element of Kindness wins the second round! A true friend is always kind to others. Being kind, however, isn’t the same as being nice. Being nice is when you are polite to people and treat people well. Being kind is when you care about people and show you care. Sometimes you can be kind to someone even though you aren’t nice to them and you can certainly be nice to someone but also be unkind. Fluttershy will always show us how much she cares for everypony, and she would be very happy to see us being kind to others. Always choose kindness.

The battle’s not over yet. Those mean copies are still on the loose. The Mane Six must stop them, and save Equestria before the harmony and friendship in Equestria is replaced with disharmony and misery. Get ready for the others everypony!
