## Bio

### Personality

Rainbow is a very loyal pony to her friends and family, but at sometimes it is tested in situations where it involves her dreams of being a Wonderbolt or coming to her hometown.

Rainbow Dash describes her passion for winning in a flashback. She races several times with Gilda, her old friend from Junior Speedster flight camp before learning how much a of a jerk she turned out to be.

And according to Edward in " ", Rainbow use to race Gordon after they first meet, but soon had to stop upon learning from Sir Topham Hatt how dangerous it was for Gordon to travel at such speeds while pulling the express.

During one fall season, Rainbow Dash loses a game of horseshoes to Applejack and says she hates losing. She then challenges Applejack in the Iron Pony competition. In several rounds, she uses her wings to give herself an unfair advantage. During the Running of the Leaves, Rainbow Dash continues to use underhand tactics even though her wings are tied down. Applejack retaliates with tricks of her own, and both end up tying for *last* place. They realize that their competitive streaks got the better of them, and apologize to each other and Princess Celestia before amicably running the race again.

But soon, Rainbow Dash comes to the conclusion that even though she loves winning, she loves her friends "waaaaay more."

Rainbow Dash displays confidence in herself and her physical abilities in multiple episodes. Then when Trixie Lulamoon first came to Ponyville, Applejack and Rarity criticize Trixie for showing off magic tricks and looking down on other ponies, Rainbow Dash adds, "Especially when ya got me around being better than the rest of us."

Rainbow Dash is confident about her performance in the upcoming Best Young Flyer Competition until Rarity's magical butterfly wings get a lot of attention and admiration. Despite her insecurities, Rainbow Dash successfully pulls off the sonic rainboom and wins the competition.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack snicker at Twilight Sparkle for running a race with them in Fall Weather Friends, calling her an "egghead" for joining a race with no prior running experience except reading a book on the topic.

Upon seeing Rarity wear a scarf for a mountain expedition in Dragonshy, Rainbow Dash sarcastically says, "*That'll* keep you nice and cozy." Later in the episode, Rainbow Dash expresses her annoyance and frustration when Fluttershy panics over minor obstacles in the trail.

Rainbow Dash tries to spook her friends when they venture into the Everfree Forest for the first time, claiming that no pony has ever made it back out of the forest. Her reputation as a prankster is established throughout the series, however, she knows to keep it in control when it comes to certain individuals.

Rainbow Dash is often self-conscious in regards to how she appears in front of others. She often dismisses things, activities, and certain mannerisms considered to be feminine, though this is at times merely a front. And sometimes she only shows affection toward Tank when no one is looking.

Then when tasked with saving the Crystal Empire from falling again, she eagerly agrees with Applejack's suggestion to do a jousting demo for the Crystal Ponies, claiming that "seeing her awesomeness has a way of putting ponies into a pretty good mood". When her selected opponent, Fluttershy, is overwhelmed in the first round, Dash grudgingly assures her that she'll "take it easy on her next time", then catches herself and adds, "But not *too* easy. I've got a reputation to maintain!"

Despite this, Rainbow Dash has moments in which she displays femininity, fragility, and culturedness, sometimes unintentionally.

Rainbow Dash discovers her love of reading when she gets into a serious accident then lands her in the hospital. When Twilight first offers her a book to read during her stay at the hospital, she rejects it and testily tosses away the book, saying, "I'm a world-class athlete. Reading's for eggheads like you, Twilight." After a short boredom montage, she picks up the book and becomes immersed in the adventures of the book's titular character, Daring Do. Not wanting to admit she is an "egghead," she hides her new hobby from her friends. When she is discharged from the hospital, she tries to sneak back in and finish reading the book. She is chased and eventually caught, and she admits she was after the book. Twilight Sparkle lends her personal copy of the book to Rainbow Dash. The episode concludes with her finishing the book and excitedly picking up another one from a small stack, entitled *Daring Do and the Griffon's Goblet*.

Then upon marrying Gordon and having a son and Daughter, Rainbow lost most of her competitiveness and works to raise them well.
