Rainbow Dash: weather pony, Wonderbolt hopeful, Element of Loyalty, and the fastest flyer in Ponyville (in all of Equestria if you ask her). She is happiest when she is in the air.

So, what happens when she is no longer able to fly?

After an accident, Rainbow Dash loses one of her wings. Losing her ability to fly makes the pegasus feel as though she has lost nearly her entire identity. It also means the loss of her dreams as a future Wonderbolt. Headstrong and hopeful, Rainbow Dash tries to find a way to have her abilities restored.

The question becomes: what will become of the high flyer? Will she gain her ability to fly once more? Will she come to terms with what happened and seek out a new identity? Or, will the tragedy leave her a shell of her former self that even her closest friends cannot fix?
