Second-last of the series, my favourite Pegasus and second-favourite pony <3 Strangely enough, I survived all the rainbows and had no mental breakdown while colouring them. I swear.

I decided to play a bit with the poses, especially with her filly and adult forms - seriously, I should draw more flying Pegasi. Their anatomy is pretty difficult if you haven't practiced on it for long. So, yeah, this was a good training xD And, look at my OTP, look at it <3 Aren't they simply perfect? I missed them so much, it's been... like, 1 month! A whole month without my babies! I don't know how I could survive it ç_ç

Welll, anyway, let's go with the headcanon for out daredevil x3





2 Years Old

Little Dash was born as a premature foal, but she didn't suffer nor she had any problems at birth. She laughed instead of crying, taking her first breath, and she spent every minute in her crib sleeping. The other foals, every other foal in the room, cried or whined: she was the only quiet one, she didn't even hear the noise caused by the others. Her parents had to wake her up to feed her, and she always showed a bit of annoyance. Pegasi have the natural feature of loving sleep and enjoying multiple naps during daytime, and Rainbow Dash is particularly fond of the activity.

The filly was very disappointed that she couldn't use her wings when she first discovered what those soft things actually did. Her dad used to take her on his back and fly slowly around the house, letting her experience the excitement of flight.



8 Years Old

Rainbow was one of the foals that learn very fast how to fly. She first flew it when she was about 5 years old, pretty early compared to the average. When she was 8, she did the mythic sonicboom, becoming the idol of all her classmates. She was quite conceited and cocky, at those times, but she never mistreated her best friend, Fluttershy. On the contrary, they were often together and Rainbow always stood for her.

Dash's mother was the most proud of her after the sonicboom. Since that day, they spent more time together and raced often, to the filly great's amusement.



16 Years Old

Now the blue filly was the most known daredevil in all of Cloudsdale. Everypony talked about her, at every corner you could hear somepony say "That's Rainbow Dash!" as she walked by. She grew more and more superb, until she lost the fight that, perhaps, influenced her behaviour most. She was protecting her best friend from a large group of bullies, when she heard the yellow filly behind her sobbing. She turned her head trying to comfort her, but she did a terrible mistake. The leader of the colts hit her, and that was the start of a fight that lasted for the rest of the afternoon. Once the two beaten Pegasi came back to the cloud home with their tails between their legs, Rainbow was more dispirited than ever. Fluttershy healed her wounds and curled up next to her for the whole night, crying in silence as Rainbow stared at something far away through the window. Since that huge defeat, Rainbow didn't dare vaunting in front of the other bullies again, but she later took her revenge against each one of them.

It was a few years earlier that she had first met Applejack, and the two soon built a strong friendship between one brawl and the other. Of course, after Rainbow's great failure, the Pegasus' farm pony friend didn't lose the chance to tease her. After fighting in the mud, hoof-wrestling in the henhouse, racing down the hill, and after losing every challenge against the much stronger Earth Pony, one day Rainbow picked up AJ's hat, wore it, tossed it away and then proclaimed that the accessory wasn't "extraordinary enough" for her, and that it needed to be about 20% cooler. Since AJ laughed so hard that she couldn't breath after hearing the last sentence, Rainbow decided to remember it, so to use it in future occasions. After she'd calmed down a little, though, Applejack bucked Rainbow and chased after her nevertheless.



20 Years Old

The daredevil, cocky and bold Rainbow Dash we know nowadays. She loves adventures and danger in general, she's always ready to stand up for a friend and she's probably the most sympathetic of the Mane 6. Under that rough shell she hides a sensible heart, plagued by the death of her father and the guilt she still feels for having hurt her parents in the past. She'll become a Wonderbolt member when she's 22 years old, gaining the title of Team Captain after a few months.



25 Years Old

Realizing the long-hidden love for one another, Rainbow Dash and Applejack live the romantic relationship that will then lead them to get married. Rainbow's lived on the farm with her beloved for a few years and loves her mare more than anything else. Her proud and stubborn behaviour often clashes with Applejack's, but their fights never last too long and Rainbow Dash is allowed to sleep in the same bed as her wife's as soon as soon as she admits her faults after a few nights spent on the floor. Rainbow Dash will learn it's better not to argue with Applejack when the latter is in a bad mood (which happens very rarely), or when the former has done a very stupid thing (which happens almost on a daily basis) such as taking the hens to the pond and making them swim "to keep them fit", forgetting various meals in the oven or setting it on fire while trying to bake an egg.
