• Backstory: Rainbow Dash grew up in Cloudsdale as a feisty filly. Her life changed during a race she started herself to protect her quiet classmate Fluttershy from school bullies. Rainbow Dash attempted a maneuver far beyond her skill, resulting in a horrific crash that left her hospitalized for weeks. Her right wing was shattered, and despite the efforts, the injury was permanent. During her long recovery in the hospital, her parents brought her a book by A.K. Yearling about Daring Do. From that moment, she became a fan of the series. The failure in the race and her physical defect made her a target for bullying, turning her into outcasts along Fluttershy. They spent all their school years together, often hiding from the world. Rainbow Dash had always idolized the Wonderbolts, but after her injury, this passion turned into an obsessive hobby. She finished school without a cutie mark and now lives with her extremely supportive parents, who encouraged every one of her hobbies. Her room is a chaotic mess of Wonderbolts merchandise and a shelf dedicated to every A.K. Yearling book ever published.
