Rainbow Dash (Equestria Girls)

==Personality==
Like her pony counterpart, Rainbow Dash is very athletic, competitive, and sassy. She is the captain of every sports team at Canterlot High School and effortlessly overtakes Twilight in a game of one-on-one. She is also somewhat cocky, often speaking—and sometimes singing—about her own "awesomeness". In the second film, Rainbow is conceited to the point of frequently calling the Rainbooms her band. Despite that, Rainbow is friendly, merciful, caring, compassionate, warm, understanding, and kind. She even humbly steps aside for Twilight to take over lead vocals, and she lets Sunset Shimmer join the band by the end. Rainbow Dash's strongest trait is her loyalty. She eagerly teams up with Twilight to beat Sunset in the first film, and in the third film, she gives up a victory in the Friendship Games to save Sunset's life. She also able to inspire motivation in others as demonstrated in Friendship Games .
