Rainbow Dash is without a doubt the most polarizing of the mane 6 characters she is one those characters that people either love or hate, I have seen just as many comments about Rainbow Dash being best pony as I have seen of her being worst pony. Rainbow Dash is brash, loud and can be very cocky at times and these traits have to some fans been a bit grating yet she has also shown a level of perseverance and determination a sort of never say die attitude to follow her dreams to become a Wonderbolt that many fans have come to admire in her.

Rainbow Dash is without a doubt a flawed character which something even her fans will readily admit, but that is not necessarily a bad thing as what makes a character interesting is that they have flaws but they improve over time. Rainbow is still slightly cocky and is still reluctant to show her sensitive side in front of other ponies in most situations but has without a doubt grown and matured the most out of the mane 6. In Sleepless in Ponyville we got to see her compassionate and sensitive side as she became a sister figure to Scootaloo and in Wonderbolt Academy she risked her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt to do the right things by calling out Lightning Dust for her reckless and irresponsible behavior.

It is by an large this excellent season 3 character development that has prompted many including myself to give Rainbow Dash a second look and brought her up to 3rd and then 2nd favorite pony. Rainbow Dash may have quite a ways to go as a character but that is a very good thing as it presents so many opportunities for great character development and story telling. Though Rainbow Dash is far from perfect as none of us are she has been seen not only as a great character but also a great role model.
