$RAINBOW DASH EYES: MAROON HAIR: RAINBOW STRIPED BOD とCYAN CUTIE MARK: A CLOUD SHOOT (N6 A RAINB0ω LIGHTNING BOLT ELEMENT: GROUNDING (A.K.A. LOYALTY HILE THE PONYALITY TRAITS OF A 6ROUNDED PONY ARE OFTEN SIMPLY DESCRIBED AS LOYALTY SINCE THAT IS THE MOST OBVIOUS EFFECT OF THIS ELEMENT, 6ROUNDING ITSELF COMMONLY LEADS TO SEVERAL PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CHARACTERISTICS. THE CURRENT BEARER OF THIS ELEMENT IS NAMED RAINB0ω DASH WHO EXHIBITS SOME OF THE MOST EXTREME CHARACTERISTICS OF 6ROUND- ING OF ANY PONY IN RECORDED HISTORY CONVICTION _ RAINB0ω DASH SEES THIN651N BLACK AND WHITE, AND THOUGH SHE CAN AND DOES CHANGE HER MIND AT TIMES, WHATEVER POSITION SHE TAKES IS "GROUNDED". ONCE SET, IT'S AS IF ANY OTHER POINT OF VIEW NO LONGER EXISTS AND SHE IS ABLE TO OPERATE WITHOUT THE DOUBT OR INHIBITIONS THAT MANY OTHER PONIES LABOR UNDER. THIS ALLOUS HER TO DEVOTE AMAZING STRENGTH AND FOCUS TO WHATEVER PATH SHE HAS CHOSEN FOR EXAMPLE, SHE HAS PUSHED HERSELF TO THE LIMITS IN ORDER TO BECOME THE FASTEST AND MOST SKILLED FLYER IN ALL OF PONWILLE. SHE CONSIDERS IT ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SHE IS ABLE TO JOIN THE ω0NDERBOLTS FLYIN6 TEAM AND THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT SHELL SUCCEED. COURAGE-RAINBOW DASH IS ENVIABLE FOR HER BRAVERY HAVING FACED NIGHTMARE MOON,A MANTICORE, AND EVEN A DRAGON IN COMBAT, THOUGH SHE ωAS UNLIKELY T。uxN ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES, SHE REFUSED TO BACK DOWN FROM WHAT SHE FELT ωAS THE RI6HT THING TO DO. WHETHER GHE KNEω SHE ωAS OUTMATCHED OR DIDN'T CARE, SHE ω1LL 6ADLY FACE INGURMOUNT- ABLE ODDS IF THAT MEANS SHE CAN KEEP HER LOVED ONES SAFE PROTECTIVE INSTINCT-RELATED TO HER COURAGE IS HER STRONG PROTECTIVE INSTINC FOR THOSE SHE FEELS ARE WEAK OR NEED(N6 OF PROTECTION, ESPECIALLY HER FRIENDS, RAINBOW DASH WON'T HESITATE TO PUT HERSELF IN DANGER. THIS UNFORTUNA TELY LEADS HER TO NEED- LESSLY PUT HERSELF AT RISK AT TIMES (AS IN THE PREVIOUS EXAMPLE WHEN THERE MAY HAVE BEEN BETTER SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE IF SHE HAD TAKEN THE TIME TO CONSIDER THEM COMPETITION-ONE SIDE EFFECT OF THE GROUNDING ELEMENT IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF STUB- BORNNESS-WHEN CHALLENGED, RAINBOW DASH FINDS IT HARD TO RESIST, EVEN IF DOIN6 SO WOULD BE THE MORE PRUDENT CHOICE. IN THE RARE CASES SHE'S OUTMATCHED IN HER ELEMENT, SHE MAY BE TEMPTED TO PLAY UNFAIRLY TO GET THE EDGE RATHER THAN FACE THE HUMILIATION OF DEFEAT HER EXTREME WILLINGNESS TO RISE TO A CHALLENGE UNFORTUNA TELY TENDS TO COME ACROSS AS A66RESSIVE PHYSICAL ABILITY-RAINBOW DASH'S NATURAL TALENT COMBINED ω1TH HARD WORK AND DEDI. CATION LED HER TO EARLY gUCCEGGES, SHE ωAS THE FIRST OF HER CLASS TO EARN A CUTIE MARK AND DID SO IN SPECTACULAR FASHION BY EXECUTING A CLASS 2 SONIC RAINBOOM DURING AN UN- SANCTIONED RACE SHE HAS ALSO EXECUTED A CLASS 3 SONIC RAINBOOM AT A MORE RECENT EVENT uHICH ωAS NOTE. WORTHY IN THAT IT RESULTED IN SAVING FOUR OTHER PONIES FROM SERIOUS PHYSICAL HARM. ITS EXTREMELY LIKELY THAT SHE bNLL SOMEDAY BE THE FIRST NON-ALCORN TO EVER PERFORM A DRAWBACKS- HILE NOT ENTIRELY UNFOUNDED, THIS LED HER TO BE SOMEWHAT CONDE SCENDING AND ARROGANT CWHICH RESULTED IN CONFLICT BETWEEN HER AND HER FLIGHT SCHOOL CLASSMATES AND INSTRUCTORS). THANKFULL9, SHE UNDERSTANDS THE NEED TO TEMPER HER FEELINGS OF GUPERIORITY IN ORDER TO GET ALON6 ω(TH OTHERS, BUT SHE S AT TIMES EXTREMELY SELF-CENTERED. FOR EXAMPLE, DURING THE GRAND 6ALLOPING 6ALA, SHE ωAS OBSERVED TO HAVE ASSAULTED ANOTHER ATTENDEE IN ORDER TO DRAω ATTENTION TO HERSELF. FORTUNATELY, THE VICTIM ωAS NOT HARMED AND DECLINED TO PRESS CHARGES SADLY, ONCE A GROUNDED PONY HAS AN IDEA IN HER HEAD, IT CAN BE ALMOST IMPOS SIBLE TO GET OUT, THEREFORE, SHE'S LIKELY TO STRUGGLE ω{TH A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX FOR SOME TIME IF NOT FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. FORTUNA TELY FOR HER, SHE IS NEARLY AS GREAT AS SHE BELIEVES$
