It has been announced that Rainbow's parents are Windy Whistles and Bow Hot Hoof. This new information eliminates the question of Rainbow having any living parents. However, it does bring up the question; does Rainbow Dash have any siblings or is she an only child?

 

I'm leaning towards Rainbow being an only child. Why do you ask?

 

- All sibling scenarios with the main six have been explored, apart from the only child point of view.

- Rainbow Dash takes on the role of acting as Scootaloo's sister/mentor. Why would she want to do that if she already has a sibling to look after and participate in events with?

- Rainbow Dash is very independent and competitive. If she has a sibling, surely she would have boasted about all of her accomplishments to her sibling somewhere in the series by now.

- Rainbow Dash doesn't seem like she would be sibling material, with her living style, personality, and awesomeness acting as an example.

- If Rainbow had a sibling, I could see her being overly protective, causing her to check up on her sibling very often. 

 

Of course, these are just my thoughts and opinions. What do you think? Do you think Rainbow Dash has a sibling/siblings, or is she an only child? Feel free to let me know your thoughts below.

I'd prefer her being only. Not every member of the mane 6 needs a sibling.

I'm also predicting that her parents are neglectful and she looked up to Rainbow Blaze as a guardian(also really hoping he's an uncle and not a brother)

Loyal to a fault and always trying to prove herself, that or show off.
Yeah, definitely a younger sister.
To whom though is a good question.
Would say older bro'/bro's, but that wouldn't be very PC.
Oh well, I'll say it anyways :V

I would hate it if she had a sibling. Would just be another mindless rainbow mary sue which is the last thing we need

Besides, i like having Dashie an only foal 0v0 It makes the ScootaDash cuteness all the more adorable

I know there is a lot of speculation behind Rainbow Blaze and what his relationship is to Rainbow Dash. I read somewhere that his character in the tv show isn't officially given a name. Rainbow Blaze is his name in merchandise, so there is a possibility it could be Rainbow's dad, Bow Hot Hoof. I really doubt this Rainbow Blaze character would be Rainbow's brother, since he appears too mature.

Rainbow Blaze could be her brother now that we've got her parents' names confirmed

He appeared in Games Ponies Play and A Hearth's Warming Tail

 

Or else there's a retcon in the works...

They said not too long ago that he's not her dad, and if you look at the MLP trading cards they refer to him as her "mentor", rather than calling him her dad or anything

 

I'm guessing he's an uncle...or probably not even blood related

Rainbow Dash is the only one of the Mane Six whose family has yet to be revealed and I for one am surprised that it's never been brought up before in the show. While making her an only child would have her stand out compared to the others, I would like her to have an older sibling that she looks up to for inspiration.

I could see that. I'd say she was adopted by him, but why would she look so much like him?

I've tossed around the idea of Dash having an older sister since, besides being an only child, that's the only other sibling relationship that hasn't been explored. Twilight and AJ have older brothers, but I wouldn't be surprised if Dash has an older sister, one who likes to show off, which is where Rainbow's pride and ego came from or one that's really over-protective to the point of smothering.

Yes, your points make sense. If Rainbow Dash isn't an only child, I wouldn't mind if she had an older sister.
