Should G5 Rainbow Dash be a thief or a royal guard cadet

This is hypothetical, mind you, but if Rainbow Dash is going to be in Generation 5, then do you think she should be a thief this time, or a royal guard cadet?

I chose a thief because Rainbow Dash kinda reminds me of Flynn Rider from "Tangled", sometimes.

I went with royal guard cadet. The Wonderbolt training is already an homage to military training, so I'm sure it would be right up her alley. Not to mention it would make for a more feasible choice than a thief for a character that should be a good role model for children.

I don't think a thief would fit any of the main characters. Maybe a reformed thief, but that's about it.

I honestly think that she should be either a cadet or continue somehow in the Wonderbolt Training. Either way, I'm sure she'll do well in G5.

I'll take either, but I'd rather a Royal Guard, it could be similar enough that it could be seen as a spiritual successor to her Wonderbolts arc maybe they'll actually do it good this time

Yes I'm still salty

A master thief, perhaps nicknamed "The Stainless Steel Bat".

(Bat instead of Rat, since she can fly. I love Harry Harrison!)

Hopefully she would be a legend and not an actual character.

Same goes for the rest of the mane 6.

Is pirate a thief? If so, then yes. RD should be a sky pirate. AJ should be a honest, hard-working guardspony.

I smile at the thought of Rainbow Dash being in such a high position of honor, while still giving her a chance to flex as she pleases.  Hooves down, make her a royal guard!

I think a thief would be original enough if she keeps a similar Element.

I say Wonderbolt. I really, really, really hope the Wonderbolts carry on into G5.

Yea, why not! A thief is better than a G3 Rainbow Dash! Well, and Royal Guard Cadet sounds rather boring to write stories about. Thieves are more interesting to tell stories around.

I think she should be a royal guard cadet, mainly because she joined the Wonderbolts and therefore has a better sense of morality that would prevent her from being a thief.
