Character Age: While there’s no age given for any of the ponies, she acts about 14-15.
Background:
Here!Personality:
If “fast” could be used as a way of describing one’s personality, that would be Rainbow Dash in a nutshell. No matter where she has to go or what she has to do, she has to get there and accomplish that goal as quickly as possible. She even admits to Apple Bloom, Applejack’s sister, that she discovered a “need for speed” at a young age. She has no issue with speaking her mind, and that can lead her to being viewed as obnoxious and sometimes rude. She’s incredibly confidant in her own abilities, to the point where it stops being confidence and more egotistical. But while she likes bragging, sometimes she‘ll show herself to be insecure, especially when she has to put her money where her mouth is. Despite her desire for everything to be fast-paced, she can be somewhat lazy at times, taking naps instead of working and helping out.
Now if there’s one thing Rainbow Dash doesn’t like, she hates being slowed down. Just like a little kid, she complains and gets fidgety if she has to stay in one place for too long. And if she can’t use her wings at all? It drives her crazy. Alternatively, if there’s one thing Rainbow Dash loves, she loves playing pranks. Her idea of pranks are not malicious in nature, and she just likes messing with others. If someone plays a prank on her, she finds it entertaining and amusing instead of getting angry. The only time she’ll back off a good prank is if she’s convinced that the other party can’t handle it, but ultimately she sees it as just light-hearted fun.
Rainbow Dash outright states that she “hates losing”. She’s extremely competitive, especially when it comes to athletics. And sometimes she’ll get so carried away that she’ll resort to petty tricks in order to win, as shown when she and Applejack were racing against each other to see who was the most athletic pony. Because she despises losing or backing down from a challenge, she can be easily tricked or manipulated into doing something just to show she can overcome any challenge thrown her way. Challenging her to some kind of contest or dare? She wouldn’t dream of turning it down.
Despite all this, Rainbow Dash is loyal and brave. Occasionally her fear can get the better of her, but for the most part she‘ll charge in headfirst when there‘s danger. Her bravery can sometimes lead to recklessness, which gets her in trouble. Loyalty is also another trait of Rainbow Dash, willing to give up what she wants most in life for the sake of those she cares for. She even ends up cutting ties with her old friend Gilda, because Gilda kept insulting her and her friends. If Rainbow Dash really cares about someone, she’ll ultimately stick around for them.
Abilities: Along with flying, Rainbow Dash like other pegasus ponies have some control over the weather. She can clear clouds from the sky, tear holes into rain clouds, create tornadoes, and create a rainbow by breaking the sound barrier (though she's only been able to do this twice).
Sample Entry:
[As it turns out, Rainbow Dash regained something very important to her, something that she’s been dying to get her hooves on ever since she showed up in Mayfield: her wings! She now proudly stands on top of a roof. Who’s roof? Who cares! The point is her wings are back and she plans on using them. Right now.]
All right, I got my wings back!! Haha, take that you stupid town! Rainbow Dash: one, creepy town: zero! Let's see you try to stop me now that I've got these babies back!
