IC Information

CHARACTER NAME: Rainbow Dash
AGE: Not quite certain, but she's living on her own so she could be a young adult in her late teens/early 20s.
CANON: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
CANON POINT: Post-Season 4 Premiere
FAMILY TYPES:

Dragon's Roar: This fits Rainbow Dash to a T. She's quite hardheaded, makes rash decisions at times and is outspoken. She's not the kind of pony to sit back and let things happen to her friends. Rainbow Dash is usually the first to volunteer and jump into action. She's learned how to show grace and humility when it comes to being a hero, and not rub it in other pony's faces.

Nature Spirits: She's not usually collected or calm, but Rainbow's more loud and energetic than most of her friends; Pinkie's an exception. She deems to be the best flyer in Equestria. When her pride was broken thanks to the mysterious Mare Do Well outshining her, she was very jealous and insisted that she was better than the masked hero.

Wind Guardians: Rainbow does want to prove herself to be the absolute best and the most daring pony, and to one day be a member of the Wonderbolts. If she does something, it has a purpose of some sort behind it -even if that means daring a friend to build her a rock pile to knock down; then again, she didn't actually think she would have to knock it down...

APPEARANCE: Rainbow's mostly been seen in pony form instead of human form, but Equestria Girls, which has been confirmed to be an interlude in between seasons 3 and 4 changed that. This picture shows Rainbow Dash in human form. She's blue skinned, has rainbow-colored hair much like her pony form and has wings. She also wears bike shorts beneath her skirt.
PERSONALITY: Rainbow Dash is very confident in her abilities as a Pegasus flyer, which others have seen as laziness; the reason behind that is she can often be found perched on a cloud, sleeping or putting off her work. When tested on her abilities, Rainbow takes care of her job in 'ten seconds flat.' (Rainbow Dash's job in Ponyville is to clean up the clouds when they gather, especially when it's needed to be sunny and to bring in the rain; during Winter Wrap-Up, she's head pony for the Pegasi, who's job is to bring back the Southern birds to help bring in Spring.) Despite Rainbow Dash's apparent laziness, she is a hard-working, contributing pony.

She's also well known as a prankster, having pulled pranks on other ponies while insisting that it's all in good fun, and during a visit from Princess Celestia she tries to make her royal guards laugh. (She finally convinces the Princess' pet phoenix to help out, which works successfully as they do laugh.) Rainbow also does this to different ponies on Nightmare Night while dressed as a Shadowbolt. She does get pranked herself at the end by Princess Luna.

Rainbow doesn't hide her annoyance at anypony's behavior. She can be short-tempered on occasion when issues are dragged out, which has been seen in confrontations with her friend/rival Applejack and other situations, like against Discord in the Season 2 premiere. She's also blunt and rude, will laugh at others' misfortune at times and she won't apologize for her actions unless prompted. Rainbow Dash has matured and even though she's still short-tempered and blunt she now shows a great amount of patience and concern for her friends and others. She'll always be the first one to jump into action and help out. While she deems being awesome, cool and radical are excellent traits to have, despite the fact those words are all similar, Rainbow Dash has proved on a couple of occasions that loyalty defines her best.

Recently, she's shown that though she wants to be the best she won't do so at the expense of her fellow ponies' lives. She'll go out of her way to help younger ponies achieve dreams she herself didn't get to when she was a filly, and she has an uncanny ability to sound like wild animals. Rainbow will tell scary stories when the opportunity presents itself, such as a camping trip, and would deny it if asked but when she heard those same stories as a filly, she was scared too. (She got over it when she realized that if there were such scary things out there -like a headless pony- she could take it on.) She's not a completely good judge of character, as she stated she believed Spike would give up a task after the first three minutes but was left dumbfounded when he actually completed said task. (This came back to bite her in the flank when she had to knock down an entirely large pile of rocks. She also believed that Fluttershy was still somewhat gullible as she seemed to keep giving Discord the benefit of the doubt while Rainbow and the others didn't trust him at all; in reality, Fluttershy didn't trust him but was counting on him wanting to remain friends with her.) During the Season 4 premiere, she agreed with Applejack and the others that it might be best if Twilight returned to Ponyville while they went to find the Tree of Harmony. This was a bad decision to make, as the girls soon realized that they couldn't handle the task without Twilight as she was the only one who could've figured out the proper answer.

HISTORY: http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Rainbow_Dash

SAMPLES
FIRST PERSON:
1.) What would you say is your greatest strength?
Being the fastest flyer in all of Equestria! At least, I'd have said that before meeting my friends. Lately, it's being loyal: you know, not putting my goals or dreams before my friends, doing what's best for the team and not myself even if I know they'll support me in whatever I accomplish.
2.) If you were given the option to stay in the Digital World or return to your home, which would you choose? Why?
The Digital World's great and all, but I'd wanna go back home after we've saved it. My partner's awesome and one of the best, but I can't help out my friends or Princess Celestia if they're in trouble and need me and I can't become a member of the Wonderbolts if I'm stuck in another world! If I could, I'd totally wanna visit and hang out.
3.) What ability would you most like to have?
The ability to teleport. Getting around with my wings is already awesome, but to just disappear and reappear somewhere else in the blink of an eye?! That's just an advanced way to fly around! Twilight's the luckiest pony I know to have an ability like that one! Rarity too, but I don't think she's actually tried teleporting spells herself.

THIRD PERSON:

Slowest. Partner. EVER!

Rainbow bit back a sigh of annoyance while hovering down to the ground and waiting for her partner to catch up, which was hard when: A, he didn't have wings and 2, he wasn't a fast runner. She didn't blame her Digimon at all for this; she blamed the higher up Digimon or whoever they were for not giving her partner wings in the Rookie level! Or having him small enough for her to carry around.

...Can't really say it's his fault when he was born without wings. It's almost a lesson about friendship the Princess would ask about, but with pets who can shoot fireballs and attack you with their nails! Or claws. she thought with a faint smirk.

"Sorry Rainbow, but when I evolve to my higher forms I'm sure I'll be able to keep up with you!"

"Or you could go on a diet and I'd be able to carry you." Rainbow joked, but her gaze softened after a moment and she patted her Digimon on the head. Having a partner who reminded her a little bit of Tank, even if he wasn't a ~~turtle~~ tortoise? Awesome!

Guess I can put up with a little bit of slowness from him. He's my friend, and Fluttershy would probably say something like 'just show a little patience, and one day I'm sure he'll earn his wings.'

...That sounded WAAAAAAY too sappy, even for me!

Rainbow's expression became one of disbelief while her Digimon laughed at her earlier joke. "Maybe we can train together and that can help me get stronger so I can keep up with you! Aren't you always getting up early to start training?"

"Eh, I don't usually get up to start work until the sun's rose but when it's a good day out and I don't have to go in right away, I wait until mid-day. Still, that sounds like a great plan! You could use a little exercise."

Rainbow laughed loudly along with her Digimon, both Chosen and partner appreciating the nature of a good joke. If Twilight heard this, she'd say something like 'a good friend does what they can to support you, making sure they help you in areas you're weak at while improving on your stronger traits. In the end, you both get stronger by balancing each other out!
