## Background

### Personality

Though she appears boastful, Rainbow Dash represents the element of loyalty, loyal to her friends. This was explored in "Friendship is Magic, part 2" when Dashie turns down the "Shadowbolts" (AKA Nightmare Moon tempting her) when they tempted her to become their captain but at the cost of ending her friendship with the other members of the Mane 6. However, Rainbow's loyalty to her friends overcame her and she helped them cross the bridge that led them to the Castle of the Two Sisters. She often clashes with Applejack, even competing to see who is the "most daring pony" in "Castle Mane-ia."

She is also very persistent, never giving up especially when her friends are in her time of need.
