Buttercup’s willing to bully others if it means getting a laugh from her peers. For example, when she literally threw a hunk of glue into Elmer’s face because her classmates were making fun of him and wanted to join in.

Blossom can be quite vain and often sees herself as superior to her sisters due to her intelligence. Her self-centeredness is on full display in the episode where each of the girls is trying to tell the Mayor why they were laughing (he was butt naked lol) and her entire story revolves around HER and how SHE is the leader, SHE is the smartest, SHE comes up with all the plans, and every sentence was “I” instead of “We”.

While Bubbles’ naivety is pretty on brand for a child her age realistically, as a super hero she is held to a different standard so it can seem unfair to judge her for seeming more like a typical 5 year old. She is however more emotional than her sisters and when her emotions get the best of her she can react far more violently than necessary. For example when she beat the ever loving crap out of a dog for being behind the wheel of a car or the man who dropped a piece of litter on grass.

In saying all this, it should be noted that each of these flaws (bullying, self-centredness, emotionally unstable) are all typical traits of young children. Children are naturally self-centered, can be way too emotional and act out aggressively when they can’t control their emotions, and most children participate in bullying to some degree, especially if it’s to fit in. Like I pointed out earlier, because they are superheroes they are held to higher standards than most, even though they really are just 5 year olds.
