Rainbow Dash
Rainbow Dash is the brash, competitive one, and she matters because of what Lauren Faust was trying to prove by including her. The brief for the 2010 relaunch was a girls' show that did not assume girls wanted less — so instead of interchangeable pastel ponies the cast got distinct and sometimes unflattering personalities, and Dash got arrogance, impatience and a genuine mean streak that the show works on rather than excuses.

Who is Rainbow Dash?
Rainbow Dash is the brash, competitive one, and she matters because of what Lauren Faust was trying to prove by including her. The brief for the 2010 relaunch was a girls' show that did not assume girls wanted less — so instead of interchangeable pastel ponies the cast got distinct and sometimes unflattering personalities, and Dash got arrogance, impatience and a genuine mean streak that the show works on rather than excuses. Her assigned virtue is loyalty, which the series repeatedly tests against her ego. She was also the character most responsible for the show acquiring a large adult male following, a phenomenon that generated conventions, documentaries and a great deal of press bafflement, and which nobody at Hasbro had planned for.

What Rainbow Dash looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane; a cloud-and-lightning cutie mark
The cutie mark — a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt — functions exactly like a superhero emblem and works alone at any size. The rainbow mane against cyan is one of the most saturated palettes in the whole catalogue.
The cutie mark works exactly like a superhero emblem — a cloud with a rainbow bolt, standalone at any size. Rainbow-on-cyan is among the most saturated palettes here. Kids' and youth sizing, with a notable adult market.
