All About: Rainbow Dash


Rainbow Dash



Rainbow Dash is a blue female Pegasus pony and is one of the main characters / mane ponies of 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. The voice behind Rainbow Dash is Ashleigh Ball.

Rainbow Dash is in charge of the weather and clouds in Ponyville although she is sometimes seen as lazy because of her confidence in her skills. She boasts about her quickness as she is known for being one of the quickest ponies out there and the quickest pony in Ponyville. Although, in the episode 'Sonic Rainboom', both Princess Celestia and Rarity declare Rainbow Dash as the best flier in all of Equestria. She can also make rainbows as she flies around.



Rainbow Dash, also known as just Rainbow, lives in a cloud home that floats in the air somewhere near Ponyville. She used to be in Junior Speedster Flight Camp with an old Griffon friend named Gilda. Gilda makes an appearance in the episode 'Griffon the Brush Off'. Now she's a huge fan of the most popular flying squad in Equestria, The Wonderbolts.

Rainbow's personality is very high-strung, proud, and bold as she is a pony that speaks her mind and doesn't hide what she feels. She is also very competitive and her second favorite thing to flying is winning. She also eventually finds out her love of reading later in the series because of Twilight Sparkle.

Rainbow Dash is also a very high-spirited and mischievous pony as she always ends up getting in trouble and finds way to make some with pranks but she is a wonderful athlete with her amazing flying skills. Although Rainbow is sometimes rash and rude, she is a wonderful friend  for she protects them no matter what and one of the most loyal ponies out there as she represents the Element of Loyalty.


Later on in the series, Rainbow Dash actually gets accepted into the Wonderbolts Academy for a week where she makes friend with another Pegasus pony named Lightning Dust who she also got paired up with to complete cadet training exercises together. During a challenge to obliterate the clouds, Lightning Dust thought he could finish the challenge faster by making a tornado, but almost hurt Rainbow Dash's friends Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity in the process. Rainbow saved them but gets her own wing injured from doing so. Because of that incident, Rainbow decides to quit the academy thinking that they only reward the reckless cadets. The captain of The Wonderbolts, Spitfire catches up with Rainbow in time to inform her that being the best you can shouldn't mean you should go to the expense of harming other ponies and that being elite isn't just about pushing oneself but pushing oneself to the right direction. Spitfire then says that Rainbow has showed those qualities and awards her with the lead pony badge.

Rainbow Dash also gets a pet tortoise later on in the series in the episode of 'May the Best Pet Win!' from FluttershyRainbow names him Tank and although he may not be the fastest or agile pet out there, Rainbow picks and loves him out of all the other pets because of his loyalty to her.

Rainbow's Cutie Mark is of a rainbow lightning bolt with a white cloud. It most likely represents Rainbow's ability to clear the skies and how she can create rainbows. Also, the lightning must represent how fast she can fly, almost like the speed of lightning.

The story of how Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark was during flight camp one summer. At that time, Rainbow defended Fluttershy from a pair of bullies who called Rainbow Dash, "Rainbow Crash", but she was also given a nickname by Spike in the episode 'Bridle Gossip'. One of the bullies that were bullying Fluttershy already had a cutie mark while both Rainbow and Fluttershy didn't have their own yet. Rainbow then challenges both of the bullies to a flying Pegasus race where she realizes her burning passion for flying and "winning" according to her. As they went through the race course, Rainbow performed her first-ever sonic rainboom move and not only gained her cutie mark but also helped create the momentum of events which would allow Fluttershy and her other Ponyville friends to get their cutie marks also.
