Character Appearance and Traits!
Jul. 13th, 2021 01:37 pmI'm posting this largely to clarify how Dash looks/moves/behaves in the game. Because this game mixes with Live Action, video game, anime, and so on, some people might be unsure just how Dash looks. Well, I'll tell you straight up, she does not look like a realistic pony by any means.
I treat Dash as a three-dimensional cartoon in terms of appearance. Her big eyes, skinny body, lack of visible hooves? It's all there, and this might prove a little jarring to characters from canons besides MLP. How would this look? What can you expect? Well, I'll be covering it below the cut.
( Images ahoy! )
Other than that, her expressions are often exaggerated. She can survive impacts that would break any regular being's bones, not to mention the fact that, as a pegasus, she can stand on, move, and manipulate clouds and weather patterns. Combine that with the fact that she flies at hundreds of miles per hour and leaves rainbow streaks in the air, and she's... hard to miss.
In short, with Rainbow Dash, expect a cartoony appearance, cartoon physics utilizing traditional squash/stretch and slapstick, and remember that, since she doesn't even look like a realistic horse, she'll... basically look odd to anyone who isn't from MLPverse, probably. Or from a world where cartoons are a thing, anyway.
Lastly, she stands at about 4' when on all fours, and she is not a child. :|b My headcanon age for her is nineteen - twenty, so despite looking colorful, big-eyed, and doofy, she has the attitude and mannerisms of a young adult. Cheers!
