Next up on the list, we have our favorite rowdy gal, Rainbow Dash! C: She's always a lot of fun to draw and color, specifically because of how potentially colorful she can be. I played around with her colors, and I really like the result. ^.^
But enough small talk, let's go on ahead to deh headcanonz!!! O:

Rainbow Dash, like Fluttershy and Rarity, are around 4'2 at the shoulder. However, their different body types make them look like they'd be of different heights. Rainbow is very lean and wirey with the build of an athlete, specifically the body of the typically fit pegasus: slim, cut, almost "jet-stream" for maximun speed during flight.
Her wings, while impressive in size, is short and narrow for better speed flying. Of the three among the group who have wings, she has the shortest wingspan, but they are very strong and well taken care of. Rainbow's also the most feral-lookin' of the group, with oval-shaped pupils, long fangs, short, choppy hairstyle. It gives her the look of a wild, untamed mustang of sorts. o3o
I've the headcanon that Rainbow's hair isn't the only thing that's.... well, rainbow. The primary and secondary feathers of her wings (as well as her tail feathers) are also rainbow (though maybe not as obvious as I've made it here... ah well). Speaking of rainbow, though, Dashie's colorful hair is actually very rare among the ponies. Like red-hair is for humans, rainbow colored hair is the rarest natural hair color, where only 1-3% of the equine population have it. It's even rarer for a pony with the "rainbow gene" to have their hair to have them in the correct order like Dash does. She gets this from her father. I can go on and on about how hair color works for equine, but I'll just leave it here since it's primarily about Rainbow Dash. o3o

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I think that's it? I'll add anything if I think I forgot something, but for now I think this is good.
As always, though, feel free to ask me questions if you have any of them. And thanks a bunch for stopping by to take a look! C:

cool idea for Dashie
the rainbow wings are cool and I wonder if the Generation 5 writers decided to use the idea of the wings matching the mane colour for Zipp Storm since she has a similar appearance to this version of Dashie
