'''Rainbow Dash''' was a {{FIM|Pegasus}} [[sexes|are]] from [[Cloudsdale]], [[Equestria]] and resided in [[Ponyville]] through much of her adult life. The [[Element of Loyalty]] and a member of the famous [[Wonderbolts]], Rainbow Dash was a generally cool, but not calm nor collected mare with a big heart and a strong, if sometimes misguided, sense of justice.
==History==
===Early life===
Rainbow Dash was born in [[Cloudsdale]] and was the only daughter of [[Bow Hothoof]] and [[Windy Whistles]].<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Parental Glideance}}</ref> In her childhood, she knew "[[The Girls]]", a circle of friends Windy Whistles was apart of, even though she seemed to be annoyed of them.<ref>''[[Beyond Equestria: Rainbow Dash Rights the Ship]]''</ref>
Prior to adopting Tank, Rainbow Dash lived alone in the [[Cloudominium]]. As a foal, she lived with her parents, but never had siblings. Her best friend growing was Fluttershy, who remained her closest friend until her old age, only rivaled by Applejack. Another early friend she had was the griffon [[Gilda]], though as the two grew up in different countries, they only met on special occasions. The two would eventually have a falling out when Rainbow Dash discovered Gilda was secretly a bully, and though they maintained a bitter and estranged relationship, they both cared about one another deep down.
Rainbow Dash's first known job was being the [[weather captain]] at the [[Weather Factory]] in [[Cloudsdale]].<ref>''[[Rainbow Dash - Weather Pony]]''</ref> but was later given a job as a [[Wonderbolts Reservist]], and later, a full blown [[Wonderbolt]].<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Wonderbolt Academy}}</ref>{{Confirm}} After the founding of the [[School of Friendship]], Dash worked as a [[professor]] at the establishment.<ref name="CAR|FIM|School Daze">{{CAR|FIM|School Daze}}</ref> In her older age, Dash was given a job as a member of the Friendship Council.<ref name = "TLP"/> Dash worked many small jobs over the course of her life. She briefly worked as a [[fruit sorter]],<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Last Roundup}}</ref> [[actress]],<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Hearts Warming Eve}}</ref> [[thief]],<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Read It and Weep}}</ref> and [[pirate]]<ref>''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Ahoy]]''</ref>
