Rainbow Dash

Pilot Episodes-S10 design

**Rainbow Dash** is a female Pegasus pony and one of the main characters in *LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Masters of Friendship*. She maintains the weather and clears the skies in Ponyville.

## Personality

Rainbow Dash is a tomboy who is very brave and bold, but mischievous and proud, as well as being insensitive. She has great speed and works with the other Pegasi to move clouds around the sky and adjust the weather. Her lifelong dream is to join the Wonderbolts, Equestria's aerobatic flight team. Rainbow Dash's signature move is the Sonic Rainboom, in which she flys fast enough to break the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom and a rainbow-hued shock wave at the same time. It is revealed that when she did this move for the first time, she earned her cutie mark and set in motion a chain of events that allowed the other five main characters to earn theirs as well.
