The art that people make of Dashie flying way up high in the sky is the most beautiful art out there. Such background and beauty, with the view as well as (especially) the character. The famous artists you learn about in school honestly don't compare.

Very cute art style here. I love how fluffy her mane is. And the eyebrows!  :wub: 

The double-sided mane fits Dashie well.

That face though. Looks like a block with a snout.

This is my first post to the RDFC, so I thought that I should just write in detail why Rainbow Dash is my favorite pony.  :sneer:

 

RD was the first thing I saw about the show. In addition with the heaps of fan art, I remember that the famous "You're Gonna Go Far Kid" PMV was the first specific thing I saw. So, when I first started watching the show, I had big expectations for RD, since it seemed that everyone loved her.

My first impression of her in the show wasn't that positive. When she and Twilight had their first conversation together, my first thought was "How can anyone like this pony? She's so arrogant" or something like that. I still thought that the action scenes with Rainbow were one of the best moments in the show, and I really wanted to like RD, but she still was one of my least favorite ponies for a long time, because I didn't understand her personality yet, and she hadn't had time to develop. 

 

But over the course of now six seasons of FiM, Dashie has gone through some immense development and growth as a character, to the point where she's the most complex character in the show. 

 

We know that RD spent her childhood on Flight Camp, where bullying was an everyday occurrence. Anyone would end up developing a tough, taking-shit-from-nobody-attitude, especially when having to stand up for your friends, which Rainbow did with Fluttershy and Gilda. And that personality has stuck with her ever since. Or that's how I see it. 

 

Of course Rainbow Dash is brave by nature, but we've seen that she's not completely fearless. She's a pony that doesn't hesitate a second to kick a dragon tens of times her size, but will go full on panic-mode when having to perform at The Best Young Flier -competition. She also felt the need to hide a part of herself in "Read It And Weep", because she thought it would affect on her public image negatively. She holds herself at enormous standards and other ponies do to, and sometimes she crushes under the pressure. That's something that I, and many others, can relate to.

 

But the best thing about her isn't her flaws, but that she gets over them. She knows that she is and HAS to be better than that, both for herself and her friends. If that's not inspiring, I don't know what is! Rainbow Dash reprisents something I wish to become like, something to look up to as a role model.

 

Rainbow Dash is also an important reminder that people are not black and white. Sure, she is a

popular athlete, but also a huge geek, who gets nerdgasms over fantasy books and musicals, and is the first to jump into a role-playing game in "Dungeons And Discords" (and plays as my favorite class, rogue, and looks super cool while doing it). One of the best things about Mane 6 is that while they represent a common trope, they have more going on as characters than you might think on a first look, and it's really apparent in Rainbow Dash.

 

And I don't care how tough she's trying to look, she is the cutest pony ever. :3 Somehow it's even more awesome when it's a small, adorable pony that does all them feats of strength.

When she first met twilight I thought it was hilarious. I didn't think she was being arrogant but I may be love blind.

Dashie may be brash sometimes, but as me and my fiancée have learned due to this event that transpired recently, she's very nice to her fans.
