It is also revealed in the film that Buttercup inspired the other girls to use their powers to fight crime and the forces of evil after she knocks down Rocko Socko, who caused her to lose her temper with one punch ironically, she initially apologized profusely for her actions, thinking she would get in trouble with everyone. Once she heard this, Buttercup immediately crossed her arms and pouted, 'Hmph!' this may explain her tough nature. She is also shown to bully on her fellow classmate ( Elmer Sglue, who becomes a mutant paste eater, which make both Blossom and Bubbles force her to apologize to him).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. She possesses a violent and mean streak not displayed by her sisters. 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). In ' The Rowdyruff Boys', she has a tremendous disdain for resorting to kissing the boys in order to eliminate them, though willingly kisses a boy ridden with what she feared to be 'cooties' in the episode ' Cootie Gras'. 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', to 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.
