Flutterina is a Rebel, aided by powerful Butterfly-wings.
Flutterina is one of the few She-Ra characters to
have been given an extensive origin. Interestingly, she was originally a starving young slave from
Sand Valley, one of the most remote regions of Etheria and one of the few seemingly unaffected by
Horde rule. She-Ra came across the girl, then called Small One, after being captured and imprisoned
by Baron Condor, a man who wanted complete control of Sand Valley. Small One came to free She-Ra,
but was knocked unconscious by one of Condor's lethal weapons, so the Princess of Power took her to
Light Hope, who wrapped her in an enchanted cocoon, which revived her, changed her appearance and
gave her nifty new powers and skills to boot. Just as Small One was granted a new life as Flutterina,
the residents of Sand Valley were united and Condor learned a valuable lesson. [

Flutterina may have moved away from Sand Valley after
her transformation, though her home is unknown. After her first battle, she was seen at Castle Bright
Moon - and several episodes later, though she did not appear, a reference was made to her being nearby
when Hordak attacked Angella's home. [

] We do know, however, that she does not reside in
the Whispering Woods, as she herself revealed. [

When looking at Flutterina, especially when she was
Small One, it does appear that she is a very young character and easily the youngest of the Rebels.
She looks approximately 16 years old, making her younger than both Adora, who was 19 by the time
Flutterina arrived, and Glimmer, who was around 20. Such a suggestion can also be back up by her
attraction to Kevin, a young boy who had run away from his home in an early Season Two episode. [

As well as a brand new image, Flutterina received
new-found strengths and abilities. Being the human portrayal of a Butterfly, her first ability to be
shown was the concept of flight. Many people underestimate Flutterina, as flying was indeed her main
power, but her wings seem surprisingly powerful - not least for blowing away a load of clouds with
Swift Wind to destroy an evil invention, but also to support the weight of a fully-grown man! [

Flutterina could also summon a hoard or small buttflies
to do her bidding - though only touched upon once to disable a threatening Horde Trooper. [

]
Perhaps her least memorable ability is her almost
unnoticeable talent of transforming into a tiny white butterfly. Another power showcased but once,
this one could have been a useful weapon for Rebel-spying. [

Finally, Flutterina, who seems to be one of the most
detailed new characters introduced for the second season, had an admirer - resident ladies' man Bow.
Apparently not content with going after both She-Ra and Adora, Bow also took a shine to Flutterina. [

] However, the brief attraction was never followed up,
as Flutterina's future appearances would be sparse at best.
