Rainbow Dash

My Little Pony | Character

Something Missing?

Rainbow Dash is a sky blue pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane and tail who is based on Faust's "G1" Firefly toy, and shares her name with the "G3" earth pony. She is an "act first and ask questions later" pegasus obsessed with speed and adventure. Her goal at the series' beginning is to join her heroes, the elite Wonderbolts aerobatic team, which is accomplished in the season six episode "Newbie Dash" after she impresses them with her multiple heroic feats across the first five seasons. Apart from helping other pegasi manage the weather around Ponyville, she spends her time practicing flight maneuvers such as the "Sonic Rainboom", a rainbow-hued sonic boom; it is shown in the episode "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" that Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom as a child produced not only her own cutie mark, but also the rest of the Mane Six's marks. She lives with a propeller-fitted pet tortoise named Tank in a floating condominium of clouds called the Cloudominium, which is sparingly seen in the show because she "doesn't sit still for very long," according to director Jim Miller. Faust struggled to find a suitable aspect for Rainbow Dash's Element of Harmony, seeing the character as "self-absorbed and rather irresponsible." She eventually settled on "loyalty" because it "brought out [Rainbow Dash's] positive traits."
