Q&A for How to Be Like Rainbow Dash

Be sporty, brave, and help other people. You may wear sunglasses to make you feel cool.

There is certainly nothing prohibiting dancing. Rainbow Dash has done so on multiple occasions.

Try speaking with a raspy, low voice. Don't fake it if you're uncomfortable though, looking the part is often enough!

Looking like Rainbow Dash isn't a necessity. However, if you are aching to nail that look, save up money from allowance or performing odd jobs to buy or create suitable material.

Rainbow Dash is really fast and she does a lot of sports. Try running a lot or finding a sport that interests you. Then you can become a professional.

You should keep it cool most of the time, but get excited about the things that would normally excited Rainbow Dash.

Any sports with a lot of running. In fact, you could just run track.

Party City or a Halloween Store would be the best places to check out. If you don't have any luck there, try to find one on Amazon.

Rainbow Dash is enthusiastic. Imagine that all the world's a stage and be as enthusiastic as she is without being annoying.

Learn by doing. Rainbow Dash herself is not as quick-witted as she may like to believe, and often makes brash decisions. In fact, Rainbow Dash failed quite often as a young foal. The key is to look back on your mistakes and learn how to better yourself through them.

We're not. This is just for people who want to cosplay or pretend for Halloween. No personality changing here.

That can't be true; surely there are some similarities that you share with Rainbow Dash. Besides that, consider why you want to be like Rainbow Dash. People tend to look up to role models because they feel that by changing aspects of themselves, they can be more like that person. Now, this can be a good thing; you can make tiny changes in details that might make you healthier, more sociable, etc., but you also need to understand that you shouldn't turn your life upside-down to be like someone else (a fictional character, in this case). Especially if it negatively affects your happiness. You should do what makes you feel the most satisfied with yourself.

Then don't. Confidence is one of Rainbow Dash's prime qualities. As long as you are satisfied with your sense of self, then that is what truly matters.

Ironically, Rainbow Dash has quite a peaceful spirit. She reaches this point by living a fairly accomplished life. How? Doing things that make her feel confident, being proud of major achievements, and devoting herself to friends and family.

Your weight doesn't matter. Cosplay isn't about being an exact replica of the character you portray. As for your shyness, just think of your costume as a way to come out of your shell.

Then avoid performing any activities that could possibly trigger any asthmatic symptoms. It sucks if you want to participate in sports, but you need to put your well-being first. You can still be active, of course, but be safe, and follow all doctor recommendations. You don't need to be sporty to be cool and confident.

Sure! Rainbow Dash isn't the loner type. And honestly, even if she was, that should not in any way affect whether or not you hang out with friends. So go out and have fun with your pals! Friendship is magic, you know.

Actually, there is already an article for that . If you're looking specifically for Fluttershy, there is one for that , too.

There is no way to teach loyalty. You just have to resolve to stick with your friends and help them whenever you can.

Well, she is pretty cool. 20% cooler, some might say. Lame jokes aside, all of the Mane Six are admirable characters. Rainbow Dash has strengths and weaknesses like the rest of them, but some of her defining traits include perseverance, courage, and of course loyalty. She's iconic too, in more ways than one. Rainbow Dash is a recognizable head of the brand, and also entertainment in general, being part of a franchise that promoted strong female leads.

Just pretend to like sports. Just because you want to be rainbow dash for Halloween doesn't mean you need to be just like her. It's a costume.

There is much more to bravery than chest-puffery and a cool attitude. As you watch the show, you will find that despite being a cocky Pegasus, Rainbow Dash shows lots of fear. Many, many times. And that's normal. Like Bear Grylls once said, "Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it."

No, it's not necessary. However, I would recommend doing something to make your hair rainbow-colored, even if you use temporary dye instead. (If you can't do anything to your hair though, that's fine too!)

Just pretend. You're acting like the character, not actually becoming her, so it's okay if you don't really like sports.

You don't have to wear wings, but if you don't, then you'll be earthbound.

Nothing wrong with them. In the Equestria Girls spinoff, Rainbow Dash is shown playing and enjoying video games. So if there are some video games out there that you like, don't hesitate to sit down and play for a while.

Yes, face paint will work great, especially if you're going to a convention or a party. You can even add her cutie mark on your cheek!

Isolate yourself and act coldly. Perhaps you could get a friend who is willing to be your "sister" and replicate her behavior. Wear lots of dark things and know the moon phases.

Try getting a wig with bangs, or grow them. If you can't, don't worry. People will still know who you're cosplaying as.

You can do either.
