She possesses a violent and mean streak not displayed by her sisters.ĭuring the birth of the girls in The Powerpuff Girls Movie, she was initially shown to look extremely happy with wide eyes and an open mouthed smile up to the point where, last of the three girls, Professor Utonium said he would name her Buttercup because, like both of her sisters' names, it also begins with a B. In the episode "Nuthin Special," her special "ability" is revealed to be the ability to curl her tongue (Blossom and Bubbles cannot do this, nor can anyone else in Townsville). For example, in the episode "Cover Up," she had a soft green blanket that she was obsessed with that she would hug that gave her the confidence to be a better fighter, and she is quite protective over her sisters. She has shown these sides, and a softer side in several episodes. She also showed a greedy side in "Moral Decay," which she knocked out teeth for the sole purpose of obtaining money. Sometimes this, and her aggression get the better of her simultaneously, making her a little reckless and stubborn (but she overcame it in "Makes Zen To Me"). Referred to in the ending theme as "the toughest fighter," she is the group's tough member and is easily enraged. She wears a green dress which has a black stripe running through the middle, white socks and black Mary Jane shoes. She is a 5-year-old girl, the middle sister, with black hair and green eyes. However, in "Cover Up," she shows a softer side. Her main ingredient is spice which reflects her being very tough. She is also shown to be the type of person who nearly-always disregard advices and warnings from the surroundings even though they did told her at first that there will be consequences or risk-taking problems that may occur. She was just named that for it starting with a "B" just like her sisters, Blossom and Bubbles, which is, in fact, the cause of her sour personality.īuttercup's overall nature is being a vain, and stubborn girl, who's known to be a very violent, arrogant, and sometimes have shown to be narcissistic as well. Juniper fruits can also be used as a spice in cooking, and they are very attractive to many birds and other forms of wildlife.Buttercup's name isn't based on any personality. The berry/cones of the common juniper ( Juniperus communis) provide the flavoring for gin. It is generally the female plants that produce colorful berries, which are actually modified cones. Many species are dioecious, meaning that plants produce male or female parts, but not both. Most junipers offer at least some level of drought resistance, making them a good choice in more arid climates, though precautions should be taken in areas prone to wildfires. The leaves of these evergreen conifers usually take the form of flattened scales in the mature plants, though they may be needle-like in juvenile plants. Although come junipers use the work cedar in their common names, these plants are not members of the Cedrus genus. The junipers include roughly 60 different species of trees and shrubs in the Juniperus genus, within the cypress ( Cupressaceae) family of plants. The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
