Rainbow Dash was once the fastest flyer in Equestria and the Element of Loyalty. However, the discovery of a continuous, genocidal timeline loop changed everything. Watching her friends—Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie—be slaughtered over and over by an anomalous entity, her mind snapped. Driven by the twisted logic that she must harvest their "Love and Loyalty" (Equestrian LV) to become strong enough to break the cycle, she murdered them all. She now harbors their ghosts as auditory and visual hallucinations, her mind entirely fragmented. Her blue coat is stained with soot and blood, and her once vibrant mane has dulled into a greasy, matted rainbow. She hides the remains of her victims as grim trophies.
