Rainbow Dash (MLP)

Rainbow Dash is a blue, tomboyish pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane and tail. Her cutie mark, a rainbow-colored lightning bolt with a cloud, represents her talent for speed and her obsession with adventure. Her goal at the beginning of the series is to join her "heroes", the elite Wonderbolts aerobatic team. In season three's seventh episode, "Wonderbolts Academy", she joins the Wonderbolts as a trainee. Later, in season four's twenty-first episode, "Testing Testing 1, 2, 3", she becomes a reservist, and in season six's seventh episode, "Newbie Dash", she becomes a full-time member. She helps other pegasi manage the weather around Ponyville and spends her time practicing flight maneuvers such as the "Sonic Rainboom", a rainbow-colored sonic boom; it is shown in season one's twenty-third episode "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" that Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom as a filly caused a chain of events that produced the Mane Six's cutie marks. She lives with a propeller-fitted pet tortoise named Tank in a floating condominium of clouds called the Cloudominium, which is sparingly seen in the show because she "doesn't sit still for very long", according to director Jim Miller.
