Here you are! Have some Rainbow Dash! 8D

Well, this is one of the many "Study" doodles I'm doing for each of the characters for my little What If... project I'm titling Requiem.

This is how Rainbow would look in the story, more or less. Tufted ears, a bit of a fluff around her hooves, ears tipped with a darker shade of her fur and, of course, some scars. They aren't present here because I want to figure out how she got them and where they will be.

I wanted RD to look the most feral among the Mane 6 because of her trademark wild streak. Her pupils in particular. They aren't exactly slit, but they ARE somewhat oval in shape, to where they look almost cat-like sometimes when narrowed or shrunken. She also has fangs; not as large or noticeable as Luna's Shadow Guards, but sharp. o3o

Why?

Because in mah head canon, I see the ponies of FIM as omnivores. Which comes into play for the next scene I may draw out for my "practice prompt" thingy. C: That, and because I learned horses may develop canine teeth. o3o

I can also see her having an impressive wingspan, possibly slightly bigger and longer than average. But I can also see them being a mixture of medium length, somewhat narrow but broad as well, allowing her to soar, fly with speed and agility, and impressive endurance when flying at high-speeds. However, despite having great endurance, Rainbow's wings more built for speed and agility, where she wouldn't be able to fly very long distances as easily as Fluttershy, who has long and narrow wings designed specifically for that.

Anyway!

In this AU, RD would still be the leader of the weather team in Ponyville, as well as still working on her own personal training schedule to make the Wonderbolts. In this story, the Wonderbolts are a part of the Air Force militia as well, but they would probably be the best of the best in the Air Force.

Anywho, Like Fluttershy, RD would not have met Twilight prior to the story.

Overall, some of her scars come from acrobatic accidents she suffered.

But yeah. :3 More to come! o3o
