The strength of heart required to face oneself has been made manifest.  
Fluttershy has faced her other self. She has obtained the facade to overcome lifes hardships, the Persona Deverra!
 
 
Deverra was one of three gods in Roman mythology that protected midwives and women in labor. She used a broom to sweep away evil influences and to keep out wild forest spirits, and also to clean temples in preparation for various services and celebrations. I wanted a goddess that protected children to be the Persona for Fluttershy. In the show Fluttershy constantly has to be reminded that she’s stronger than she thinks she is, as if she truly has no desire to BE strong. She needs a lasting and solid motivation to retain a semblance of self confidence, and what better motivation for a character who is often characterized by the fans as being “motherly” then to make her the protector of the weak and innocent.
