Description As the uncreative title says, this is a quick sneak peak into what Rainbow Dash will look like in my Zombie story, of which I'm temporary calling Infectious (at least until I find a better and more permanent title for it. o3o)

So yeah, this is how Rainbow Dash will appear in the story. In my overall head-cannon, Rainbow Dash is the youngest of the Mane 6. As an anthro, though, I can also see her being one of the shortest too, but not THE shortest. That title may go to either Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy... haven't decided yet.

Her overall outfit is loosely based on Parkour gear, mostly because I can easily see her engaging in the practice but with her own twist to it (in which she can use her wings as she goes).

So Rainbow's background for Infectious:

As a high-school graduate, Rainbow Dash had to mature more quickly once the Outbreak happened. Of course, due to her impressive rank of being Captain of the Weather team at such a young age, she didn't have all that much to go. The life she lives in this zombie-infested country has taught her to be cautious and patient, and she refuses to trust a stranger unless they prove themselves to her.

She is very protective of the ragtag group she travels with, particularly Fluttershy, and she won't hesitate if violence is necessary.

The RD in this AU still retains quite a bit of her cannon personality, though; brash, loud, stubborn and sometimes insensitive, but trustworthy, brave, and loyal to the end.

Rainbow Dash would be the group's main scout or scavenger because of superior speed and agility allows her to easily outrun, or outfly, a zombie.

Some of the stuff may be a bit fuzzy or disjointed because I'm very tired, so I'll come back to this and edit it when I'm more awake. Until then, please enjoy. :3

Dashie! Very awesome sketch of her.

Wish a story like that, she had better mature a bit. Don't want to leave Fluttershy in a heap of trouble.

Thanks!! :3

And indeed; while she won't be as brash as she is in the show (since, honestly, she wouldn't have the luxury of doing so in a world like this) she will definite be just as stubborn and headstrong, if not more so. Of course, she'll definitely have her times of brashness that will eventually get her into some trouble. o3o

Sounds to me that she'll have plenty of heroic moments despite her stubbornness.

Cool! Give har an automatic carbine or a sub machinegun, and you could add "downright lethal" to her traits

The strips of fabric she have arround her shins and arround her arms really reminds me of the dessert equpment for the allies during WW1. I have tested it (unwillingly with bndages) and i can say that fabric like that both provides protection and support for the fot/arm. I had actually expected her to be smart enough to cover her hooves. I mean, just a cut and a wrong step later and you will be crawing for brainz.

Would have been cool if you drew her wings too.

may i ask wher she got that dogtag from?

EarthnAshes In reply to Dartmaul15 [2012-10-29 16:13:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. x3

As for her hooves, she does indeed cover them. The only reason why she isn't wearing anything here is because I'm still deciding how it'll look. It may be flexible leather with harder bottoms to them, or something similar.

Her wings will be drawn in later on, though. x3

As for the dogtag, it really isn't a dogtag, persay. It's like the ones you can buy and customize from the store, a gift given to her by Fluttershy. Unlike Twilight's, however, the dogtag isn't authentic.

Army boots
She would look bloody awesome in army boots/mountain boots. They are, to top it all, really usefull, and provides both support anda a sturdy gripp on rough or slippery surfaces (such as on blood).
They would of course need to be ponyfied

Perhaps, perhaps. o3o To be fair, I haven't really decided whether or not Big Mac would be traveling with them yet, or at least so early in the story. He'll be in there for sure, though. :3

CajesTheTabby [2012-10-29 09:43:02 +0000 UTC]

Love it so far I like the idea of her being the youngest, since the younger siblings tend to be rather wild because they are basically allowed to do anything while going unpunished. I also like that you made her short, athlets or at least gymnasts are very short, so it fits her well

EarthnAshes In reply to CajesTheTabby [2012-10-29 15:24:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! :3 To be fair, though, her actions will have consequences depending on what those actions are, especially in this universe. xD As for her height, she's short, but not all that short; maybe a couple of inches shy of the average height for a pegasus mare. o3o

Ohh, pretty
RD being the youngest...hmm... well, I always thought of Pinkie as being the youngest still, this is your headcanon
I really like what you did here... I'm not really into anthro arts, but this here I like. I do however have to point out that the tail seems to be growing from the wrong place on her spine

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

EarthnAshes In reply to Adalbertus [2012-10-29 15:26:49 +0000 UTC]

Lol, thanks. :3 Honestly, I can easily see Pinkie Pie being the second youngest, then Fluttershy, and so on, but yeah. xD

As for her tail, it's just sort of thrown on there, but you're right; it is a bit high there, I think. o3o I'll fix it up as soon as I draw in the details to her wings, though. C:

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Adalbertus In reply to EarthnAshes [2012-10-29 15:36:41 +0000 UTC]

well, Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie, so I'd say she might be the oldest... or at least one of the oldest.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

EarthnAshes In reply to Adalbertus [2012-10-29 15:49:52 +0000 UTC]

Fluttershy would be the oldest when compared to Pinkie and RD, but not to Rarity or Applejack. She'd probably be the same age as Twilight, though, maybe a couple of months younger. o3o

But yeah. C:
