Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash is a sky-blue pegasus pony with magenta eyes and a rainbow-colored mane and tail. Her cutie mark is a cloud with a primary coloured striped lightning bolt. She represents the Element of Loyalty and is brave, bold and tomboyish, but has several hidden fears. Though she often appears arrogant, she still has a kind heart and is there for her friends when they need her. She originally considered reading to be for 'eggheads' until Twilight Sparkle introduced her to the "Daring Do" novel series. This sparked a keen literary interest including considering writing fan fiction. She is very fast and works with the other pegasi as leader of the Ponyville weather team to move clouds to control the weather. Her lifelong dream is to join the Wonderbolts, Equestria's aerobatic flight team. She has been accepted into their training academy and selected as cadet team leader. She also serves as a trainer for the Equestria Games shown in " Flight to the finish" and " Rainbow falls". Rainbow Dash's signature move is the Sonic Rainboom, in which she flies fast enough to break the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom with a rainbow-hued shock wave. "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" reveals that she earned her cutie mark by successfully performing the sonic rainboom for the first time in a race for Fluttershy's honor. Later in the same episode her sonic rainboom sets in motion a chain of events that allowed the other five main characters to earn their cutie marks as well. She has a pet tortoise named Tank.

In the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls movie, Rainbow's human counterpart is the captain of every sports team in Canterlot High. She wears a white short sleeved covered by a blue collar jacket with her cutie mark on the middle, a very short skirt with tights underneath with rainbow socks and tall shoes. She has a set of primary coloured wristbands and is the only one who wears a ponytail. In her human-ponified form, she has two sky blue pony ears, a hair extension with pegasus wings and a special effect on her dress. In the sequel My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Rainbow is the lead guitarist of the band.
