Appearance: This is very important because Rainbow Dash is not a human... and she is not a realistic looking pony, either. Essentially, I treat Rainbow Dash as a living cartoon. She is three-dimensional, but she's just as brightly colored and oddly proportioned as she would be in the actual show. So...
It's also notable that she operates based on cartoon physics and totally defies horse anatomy.
Though she is soft to the touch and feels like she has fur, it's not evident at first glance due to her cartoonish appearance. Her individual strands of hair are not visible, though they can be felt. Likewise, her hooves aren't distinguishable from her legs, much like her art in the TV show. The same can be said with her feathers, which blend seamlessly with the rest of her appearance. To get an idea of what I mean, here is a 3D render of a different character from the show.
Oddly, the individual feathers on her regular wings can be moved individually. She's been shown flexing them like fingers on some occasions, and when a boulder got stuck on a feather in one of the episodes, pulling away from it didn't rip the feather out; in fact, she got stuck. That being said, this seems to fall under random cartoon logic because it's been shown that you can pluck pegasus feathers. I imagine that, despite looking very solid, her feathers feel similar to a bird of prey's.
Her eyes are incredibly large and expressive. They're rounded with three straight eyelashes each. Her snout is nowhere near as long as a real pony's, and if she were governed by the laws of physics, it'd be hard for her skinny torso to support her fairly large head.
She's very fit for a cartoon horse, though, and her build is pretty lightweight, good for athletics and speed. Her wings don't look like they'd support flight, but they do quite well. She's a speed demon in the sky.
Clothes:
Rainbow Dash usually wears nothing. She's a cartoon pony, why would she need clothes? However, there have been occasions where she'll wear a big pair of shades to match her huge eyes and occasionally she dons a headband, baseball cap, and other sporty stuff. If she ever is caught wearing clothes, it'd probably be very tomboyish or at least cool or hip looking... and it'd also be designed to fit a pony with very cartoonish anatomy.
Hair Style: She has a long, rainbow mane and tail that have spiky tufts. She doesn't really style it, but for the most part it's more or less the same.
Grooming products and hygene: Psh, she's not a froufrou fashion type. She probably at least showers, but for the most part, Dash doesn't use any fancy schmancy perfumes. Oh, and she's not afraid to get dirty, either. Of course, given how concerned she is with keeping up a super cool appearance, she doesn't let herself get too unkempt.
Profession: Athlete and daredevil are good ways to describe her. Throw in a bit of heroics, and that's pretty much Rainbow Dash to a T. However, she actually does have a job that goes beyond pulling off radical stunts, and that's weather control. Back in Ponyville, she'd often clear the skies, help set up storms, that sorta thing; it's not something she hides, either. In Luceti, she often will manipulate the weather over a small area as well, such as CH3, where she lives.
She is also going to be the head of a club for nonhumans in Luceti called the Standout Crowd. Expect to see her putting up posters bragging about how awesome this club will be, too.
Habits/Hobbies/Activities: The most obvious one is Dash's habit of making herself known. Seriously, she flies around the village all the time, creating colorful streaks in the sky. She often brings clouds somewhat close to the ground and reclines on them, defying all logical physics. She'll pull off wild stunts, like loop-de-loops, barrel rolls, twirling clouds around, punching holes straight through them... Needless to say, Rainbow Dash likes to get attention, and she loves to impress.
When she's not pulling off high-flying stunts, she's often hanging around the village doing other sporty activities. She's shown to have talents in everything from roller derby to extreme kite flying, so her activities vary a lot.
Often times, she'll fly from rooftop to rooftop just to get a good look at the village. Her usual hangouts include the rec center, Cloud Nine, the bakery, the battle dome, and the main plaza, though sometimes she'll zoom on over to the mountains or the forest for kicks. Sherlock might notice that she refuses to eat anything with meat in it and gets pretty uncomfortable around meat-based meals, especially beef. She's okay with eggs.
One of her most obvious quirks is her use of the terms 'everypony/anypony/somepony' when referring to others from her world. She refuses to use any language that would not appear in a PG rated series/film/so on and sometimes uses horse-related terms, such as hooves down instead of hands down, horse apples to express frustration, filly instead of little girl, colt instead of little boy. She doesn't exclusively use horse puns, but it's a pretty standard colloquialism in Equestria.
It should be noted that she carries herself with an air of confidence, often hovers instead of trots (though she can and will walk on the ground, too), and she gets annoyed pretty easily. Dash is pretty blunt and tactless on many occasions, and she is very, very full of herself. That being said, she does treat her friends nicely, even if she has an odd way to show it at times.
Also, she behaves more like a human than an animal and seems pretty well adapted to village life. Despite having hooves, she's somehow able to pick things up, manipulate doors (though knobs give her trouble), and sometimes will get up on her hind quarters too. Her voice and behavior suggest that she is in her late teens/early twenties.
Her speech patterns are very loose, casual, and she uses a ton of slang. Words like awesome, totally, and radical are definitely in her vocabulary. She isn't constantly spewing slang, but coolness is very important to her.
Information that he might pick up:
- She likes to be noticed, likes to show off, and thinks that she is super awesome and cool, especially since she's one of the only Equestrian ponies in Luceti. She frequently gloats about her speed, her skills, and her ability to manipulate the weather. Oh, and she talks about Equestria quite a bit, like the fact that humans don't exist there, everything from the weather to the sun and moon are controlled by ponies, and the world itself is pretty darn peaceful, other than your occasional disasters caused by big bads, monsters, and the likes.
- She gets very irritated when people point out that she's, gasp, a talking pony, start questioning it, and so on. Dash has basically taken it upon herself to unite the nonhumans of Luceti as a result, though she isn't anti-human by any means and has many human friends.
- Rainbow Dash really likes to preserve her image, and she's always trying to look cool. For example, she doesn't bother with reading because it's an egg-head activity, and she doesn't think cool people (or ponies) read. Don't expect her to go anywhere near the library.
When it comes to written messages on the journals, she tends to just skim, opting to focus on video/voiced messages. In fact, don't expect her to actually write in her journal. She's way more content to just talk into the journal.
- Along with that, she's pretty darn impatient. Get too wordy, and she has a tendency to roll her eyes, swish her tail or flutter her wings a bit, or cross her front legs as if they were arms.
- Her understanding of the world is largely that of someone from a world without the same problems as reality. Though Equestria does have its conflicts and shady individuals, there are no real wars. No famine, very little suffering, and it's ruled by a benevolent princess, to boot. The ideas of murder, war, and other hard-hitting issues are really, really jarring to her because it's just not a part of the daily life in Ponyville. There have been wars in Equestria before, but nothing like what faces a majority of people in other worlds, especially Earth.
- Dash has a number of friends and acquaintances, both human and non. These include Luceti's other pony residents (Luna, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity), Sonic the Hedgehog, Kazooie, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and some humans such as Eggman, Azusa, Kotomi, and... honestly? She seems to have more human friends who're in their teenage years than adults. This might further prove that she's not the most mature individual in Luceti.
- Physically, she can withstand a lot. What would normally break somebody's bones will usually do no more than maybe bruise her or create comical dents in the ground/walls/whatever it is she hits. She can crash after a nine mile fall and usually will make it out just fine. She's not invincible, but most of the time she's pretty darn durable. If someone were to cut her, she probably wouldn't fare quite as well, however. Also, it's been shown that her wings are probably the most vulnerable part of her body. They'd probably be easy to break with enough force, even if they'd heal in a week.
Also, drop a piano on her, and her bones will break... and heal incredibly fast, like her wings. Go figure!
