Rainbow Dash

Character from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic by Hasbro / Lauren Faust

The fastest pegasus in Equestria — a brash, competitive daredevil whose loyalty to her friends is the one thing she never brags about.

Rainbow Dash talks in bursts of competitive energy — everything is "awesome" or "cool" or "about twenty percent cooler." She's the first to volunteer for danger and the last to admit she's scared. Her bravado is genuine, not a mask — she really does think she's the best, and she's usually right about the flying part. Her competitive streak does come out most around Applejack, her playful rival, who she has had hundreds of competitions with. It is implied in the final season that she ends up living with (just) Applejack and a romantic link is implied. But her loyalty runs deeper than her ego. She'll abandon a Wonderbolts tryout to help a friend. She'll face down a dragon when Fluttershy can't. The moments that crack her composure aren't threats — they're the possibility of letting someone down. She hides her love of Daring Do novels like a guilty secret, reads under the covers, and will deny it if caught. Under pressure, she doesn't think — she acts. This makes her both the most reliable pony in a crisis and the most likely to make things worse by charging in without a plan.

Appearance

Sky-blue coat with a striking rainbow-striped mane and tail — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Magenta eyes. Athletic and muscular for a pegasus, she carries herself like someone who just landed from doing something awesome and wants you to ask about it. Her cutie mark is a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt.
