Buttercup (The Powerpuff Girls)

Buttercup is a main character is The Powerpuff Girls, and toughest member of the superhero group of the same name that protects the city of Townsville from all types of threats.

Before Season 1
Buttercup, along with her sisters Blossom and Bubbles, were created two months prior to the start of the season. The professor states that it was only an accident that that they were meant to stay in the artificial gestation for much longer. Instead, they were accidentally mentally born at around five years old despite the fact that they were physically teenagers.

In those two months, their only visitor was a friend of the Professor's named Kathleen Keane. She read them stories and spoke fondly of the world outside the basement where Professor John Utonium would not let them leave. Eventually, Blossom and her sisters decided to sneak out.

Season 1
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup snuck out on the day of Elliott Meyer's inauguration. They decided to watch it, not fully knowing what an inauguration was. Blossom sent her sisters to the concession stand, and decided to check out a mysterious man watching the inauguration from the rooftops. Bubbles and Buttercup were fount by Utonium and Keane, and traversed the stair just in time to see Blossom break Mr. Grant's wrists. Tyler Osborn arrived before they could leave unnoticed.

Elliott Meyer requested that Sarah Bellum bring the girls down so he could publicly introduce to the world the girls that saved his life, even naming them 'The Powerpuff Girls.' Not long after, feral dogs sent by the 'higher power' attacked Keane and Utonium. Bubbles and her sisters were successful in stopping the dogs. Buttercup left to save Utonium, and stayed behind while Blossom left to find the find feral dog.

Later, the girls were taken to the park to play Frisbee, where they showed off their ability to fly, and showed off their ability to fight crime effectively against the Amoeba Boys. However, Bubbles let her opponent, Slim, know that she took much pleasure in fighting crime since it allowed her to inflict pain on people she didn't really know. Kathleen Keane insisted that they be enrolled in Pokey Oaks Kindergarten.

Buttercup was indifferent to being in kindergarten, and accepted it as another part of life. When asked about Blossom's obvious crush on Justin Bradley, Miss Keane's TA, she remarked that she did not care as long as it did not interfere with the Powerpuff Girls. She and bubbles left to retrieve Blossom, who had cut school to watch Justin play volleyball at Townsville High School.

Buttercup began to get annoyed when Blossom yelled at Miss Keane because Justin had taken a break from the kindergarten, and yelled at her when she arrived late to stop a gas station robbery. Although Blossom arrived in time to punch out Jeremy Flint, their subsequent argument allowed him to escape. Buttercup insisted that while they were physically teenagers, Justin would only see them as kindergartners, and that Blossom should accept it as fact and move on. While finding Tom Seaton in his condominium, Bubbles watch him while the argued so he would not escape like Flint had done.
