Description
Time for FLUTTERSNIPER!
Why Fluttersniper?
While people like to associate Fluttershy with the Medic, I always figured her closer to Spy or Sniper. Sniper made the most sense because he remains furthest from the actual fighting, he uses sniping guns (the stare, anybody?), and he is weakest when caught in an up-close and personal fight, making it ideal to avoid them when possible. Bonus points? He's an outdoorsman - he has the most experience with animals (though he's admittedly more on the 'hunting them' side of the spectrum, he also seems to have the most animal companions I think) plus he has the most animal companion misc items thus far.
Why not Fluttermedic?
While people say "Fluttershy would never kill" they seem to forget - EVERY class kills. Even the medic. It's called 'Kill Assist' for a reason. While Fluttershy is kind enough to be a healer, I don't think she fits the OTHER aspects of the Medic at all - experimenting on team mates, use of bonesaw (what I imagine to be a particularly unpleasant tool to be hit with), and turning aformentioned teammates into living engines of murder - all while running around, exposed to the brunt of the fighting. Really, for Fluttershy to be the way people think she should be, she would have to be a terrible Medic, sitting behind the actual combat, healing people who come back, never using her melee or primary weapons, and never making use of ubercharges unless she's trying to run away.
Other Options?
I considered Trixie, what with the whole 'living in a van' aspect of Sniper. Also Applejack, cause of the hat and the fact the Sniper was raised on a farm. But Fluttershy made more sense to me.
Additional Notes:
I just KNOW someone's gonna rage at this. It will make me laugh.

You know, regardless of how it displaces the others, I can sort of see Fluttershy as Engie. It'd take a bit of translating, but if you replace 'love of animals' to 'love of machines' it fits. Plus the avoidance of close quarters battle (at least as long as no one is in getting up close and personal) and low health make the Engineer a class that's better played by avoiding direct combat.
A few other things don't fit the best, but certainly better than the devil-dealing Medic.
