Personality: Rainbow Dash is very confident in her abilities as a Pegasus flyer, which others see as laziness; the reason behind that is she can often be found lying down on a cloud, sleeping or putting off her work. When tested on it, Rainbow takes care of her job in 'ten seconds flat.' (Rainbow Dash's job in Ponyville is to clean up the clouds when they gather, especially when it's needed to be sunny and to bring in the rain when it's needed.) Despite Rainbow Dash's apparent laziness, she is a hard-working, contributing pony.

She's also well known as a prankster, having pulled pranks on other ponies while insisting that it's all in good fun, and she tries to make Princess Celestia's royal guards laugh. (She finally convinces the Princess' pet phoenix to help out, which works successfully.) Rainbow also does this to different ponies on Nightmare Night while dressed as a Shawdowbolt. She does get pranked herself at the end.

Rainbow doesn't hide her annoyance at anypony's behavior. She can be short-tempered on occasion when issues are dragged out. She's also blunt and rude, will laugh at others' misfortune at times and she won't apologize for her actions unless prompted. Rainbow Dash has matured and even though she's still short-tempered and blunt she now shows a great amount of patience and concern for her friends and others. She'll always be the first one to jump into action and help out. While she deems being awesome, cool and radical are excellent traits to have, despite the fact those words are all similar, Rainbow Dash has proved on a couple of occasions that loyalty defines her best.

Strengths/Weaknesses:

+ She's Athletic. Both Fluttershy and Princess Celestia call her the fastest pony in all of Equestria which she proved by winning the Best Young Flyers' competition held in Cloudsdale.

+ She's Confident. If there's ever any kind of trouble in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash is usually the first to volunteer and jump into action. She's learned how to show grace and humility when it comes to being a hero, and not rub it in other pony's faces.

+She's Loyal. She proved her loyalty to her friends when Nightmare Moon took on a form of the Shadowbolts and tried to coerce Rainbow Dash into following them. Despite wanting to meet them so badly, she couldn't abandon her friends on their quest and her decision earned her the Element of Loyalty.

- She's Boastful. She literally toots her own horn and says she's the best, whether it's at the Running of the Leaves or being Ponyville's resident hero. When her pride was broken thanks to the mysterious Mare Do Well outshining her, she was very jealous and insisted that she was better than the masked hero.

+/- She's Competitive. Since she was a young filly Rainbow Dash has a passion for winning. She hates losing and reacts poorly to failure, or even the possibility of failing. She has resorted to doing whatever it takes to win, though she was humbled about it afterward. She has been terrified at the thought of making a fool of herself.

- She's Rude. She will be direct, or get 'in your face' if anypony challenges her or tries to insult her friends. She won't hold back, but she does get short with her friends on occasion and does likewise with them. Unless prompted to do so, she won't apologize.

Samples
First Person Sample:

(The Pokegear clicks on to show Rainbow Dash close up, but her eyes are closed and her mouth's slightly open. Her Charmander, who she's nicknamed Blaze, is holding up the device to show that Dash has fallen asleep on her journey. The Pokegear moves around a few times as Rainbow Dash wakes up abruptly on the bench, pulling the device out of Blaze's hands while smiling sheepishly.)

Eheh...sorry about that! Guess I won't make that mistake again...it's your Friendly Neighborhood Rainbow Dash here, still making my way to the next town while looking for my friends but also some more Pokemon to catch. Having Blaze with me is awesome, but he can't handle everything by himself! I could if trainers were allowed to compete themselves but...

Char!

Ha, sorry Blaze. I don't mean it like that. You could definitely handle anyone we face, but we need some more friends if we're gonna make sure that we win! I think the forest is a good place to start looking, and after that we'll get something to eat before getting to the next town. Like that idea, Blaze?

Charmander, char!

That's the spirit! Twilight, Fluttershy-don't leave the city 'cause I'll be there really soon. As Celestia as my witness, we'll see you girls and meet your Pokemon in one day!

Third Person Sample: The soothing silence of the house was broken by a scream. Specifically, Rainbow Dash's scream as she bolts out of bed, getting to her feet while looking around in disbelief before staring down at herself, trying not to panic. Her eyes widened as she saw hands where her front hooves usually were. She glanced down past her legs and saw feet. Feet that weren't the familiar-looking hooves she'd expected to see.)

"What's going on here? Where's Ponyville? Did Twilight cause another mishap with her magic that changed me? WHERE'S TANK?!!!"

Char!

"...Tank?" (Rainbow Dash sighed in relief as she looks beneath the bed, expecting to see her pet tortoise but instead sees a small, orange-like Pokemon with a flame at the end of it's tail!)

"You're not Tank! Applejack pulled this, didn't she?"

Char?

(Rainbow sighs while crouching down and allowing the Charmander to come out. It was time to be direct.) "Look, I'm sure you'd make an excellent pet but the thing is, I don't know what you are, much less what happened to me! Fluttershy didn't sing about you, 'cause if she had I'm sure I'd remember it. And besides, I already have a pet turtle! So...I'll take you back to Applejack now."

(She offers a big, sheepish smile while Charmander blinked a few times.) "Or was it Pinkie Pie?"

CHAAAAAAAAAR! (Rainbow Dash coughed and blinked upon being enveloped by a small, but pretty effective Smokescreen attack. She wiped away any soot that got on her face and gave Charmander a grin while her hands moved up her changed body slowly, excitement and curiosity visible in her eyes.)

"Okay. THAT was awesome! Maybe I'll let you stick around after all. There's no rule that says ponies need just one pet. Or whatever I am now...what are these?!"
