History
After dropping out of flight school in the city of Cloudsdale, the pegasus known as Rainbow Dash gained a job in the humble town of Ponyville as its resident weather patroller, responsible for keeping the weather within the area under control. That was until one fateful day when she and five other ponies were chosen to be the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, relics created to maintain peace within the land of Equestria. While she still lives her life normally, Rainbow Dash is ready to protect her friends and home, all while training, dreaming, and eventually succeeding in joining Equestria's elite team of pegasi, the Wonderbolts.

Cameo Appearances
Rainbow Dash makes a small cameo alongside Starscream during Deadpool VS Pinkie Pie, after Deadpool and Pinkie entered YouTube. Both Rainbow Dash and Starscream can be seen in the thumbnail for their episode as Pinkie greets Rainbow Dash.
At the beginning of Raven VS Twilight Sparkle, Raven is seen playing with My Little Pony dolls of the main characters when she gets teleported into the Golden Oak Library, one of which included Rainbow Dash. Rainbow herself then makes a quick cameo in the post-fight animation, in which she is seen putting out the fire at the library by stomping on a few clouds and making it rain.
Rainbow Dash appears at the beginning of Bill Cipher VS Discord, having been turned into a banner off-screen by Bill Cipher along with the rest of the Mane Six, evidently having failed to stop the Dream Demon. She and the rest of the Mane Six appear again at the end of the fight, freed from Bill's Weirdmageddon.
