Megas 27,745 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 Probably because they wanted us to see RD projected as Daring Do in Read it and Weep(though it helps that she looked like her in on the cover of the book too). And it also helps that RD's character model is also the base model for other pegasai(Derpy and Raindrops come to mind) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor...8D 823 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 Originally Daring was metaphor for Rainbow dashes Imagination and was suppose to be a one shot deal............... But there was such a huge fan response to her.........they decided to include her in the later episodes as an actual character.......

Soaring Symphony 372 October 15, 2017 Share October 15, 2017 In the episode "Read It and Weep" they clearly set it up for Daring to look like Dash as a visual metaphor for Dash imagining herself in Daring's place. There's tons of parallels between the two throughout the episode after all. However, I'm pretty sure the writers didn't count on writing "Daring Don't" back when "Read It and Weep" came out. So when they decided to make Daring Do "real" in the world of Equestria, they were stuck with the design they had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicEnergy 23,223 May 19, 2022 Share May 19, 2022 Maybe they wanted to show that Rainbow Dash and Daring Do are similar to each other? *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Gallagher 33,593 May 19, 2022 Share May 19, 2022 I always notice that and I think it’s on purpose to show their similarities. 2 Signature made by the amazing @Sparklefan1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orchid_Fiore 200 May 20, 2022 Share May 20, 2022 I think it's purposely but not original either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, it's odd that somepony actually was born with the same looks as Rainbow Dash, only in grayscale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilightlicious69 629 May 20, 2022 Share May 20, 2022 Daring was always her inspiration, so she wears her mane like her idol. It's actually Daring's mane that's original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually Daring's mane that's original. Rainbow didn't read those books til her incident in the hospital, though. Her mane had been just like Daring Do's before that time. 1 Boom!

Sparklefan1234 172,143 May 20, 2022 Share May 20, 2022 Quote Why is Daring Do a recoloured Rainbow Dash? I think Daring Do is colored the way that she is because Rainbow Dash took every color in the rainbow for her mane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead account 2,711 May 24, 2022 Share May 24, 2022 Twilight recommended the Daring Do book series to Rainbow Dash, because she thinks that she and the character from the book are very similar (in personality and appearance). Twilight has read dozens of books, she could have recommended all kinds of books to her. So it's no coincidence that she recommended a book series from which she thinks her friend would enjoy the most. A series that would be the most relatable to Rainbow. Many ponies are very similar to one another, especially when it comes to background ponies and especially when it comes to their taste in haircuts. Other ponies also have and enjoy the same haircut as the one Twilight or even Fluttershy has. It's common there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They call me Loyalty 1,948 May 24, 2022 Share May 24, 2022 I think it was done to visually represent their similarities in personality and character. Or maybe they just grew lazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
