RAINBOW DASH REDESIGN!! He’s my favourite member of the main six.
Ok headcanon stuff thanks :
Cloudchaser was born as a very much average pegasus, with an orange / yellow mane and blue tail, the only odd thing being his leg socks and gradient coat. Despite this, he was still his parents absolute miracle child. They had him when they were teenagers by complete accident, after both bonding over their shitty home lives. Following finding out that Windy was pregnant, they put their money together, got as many jobs as they could take and moved into their own home to raise Cloud. They never wanted Cloudchaser to feel the same misery and lack of recognition they both faced in their own childhoods, so they absolutely doted on him, cheering him on at every event he went to whether he won or not, aggressively encouraging every single last one of his interests, buying hundreds of pieces of merchandise for anything he got vaguely interested, just completely doting. He developed his ego and confidence from this, and at first it was misplaced ego, until he performed the rainboom trying to defend his best friend’s honour. Following this, his mane turned rainbow, his mark appeared and the extra set of flight feathers that had always hindered him in the past also grew to be rainbow, and he learned how to use them to become the strongest flyer Cloudsdale had ever seen- he also started to go by Rainbow Dash as opposed to Cloudchaser Dash- because it was a cooler name, and it fit his new looks perfectly.
He moved down to Ponyville when he found out that was where his friend, Flittershy, had moved. He still kept his house up in the clouds, being able to more than afford a beautiful cloud house with the money he had won at competitions, but was closer to his friend than he had been before. In Ponyville, he met his soon to be other closest friend, Pinkie Pie. He hit it off with her very quickly, enjoying her sense of humour and being a great prank buddy to her, and they became inseparable (and are to this day). He even wears nail polish to match her.
He met the other three members of the main six there too, and over time began developing feelings towards Twilight. He didn’t know how to face having feelings- at all- so he got it out by light-heartedly bullying Twi. Eventually, Pinkie confessed her feelings for Rainbow to him, and he had to tell her that he was one, gay, and two, interested in Twilight. Rather than sulking on it, Pinkie got to wingmanning him to getting Twilight to notice him, which worked. Rainbow and Twilight eventually got married and had three children together.
He’s kind of an ‘aggressive’ parent, I don’t know how to word it, he’s very enthusiastic about his kids doing well with whatever they’re doing. He doesn’t care what they do, but they will do it well.
