My non-official 'head-canon' for Rainbow Dash is that she would be a very important pony if Equestria weren't ruled by the Princesses. She's a distant matrilineal descendent of Commander Hurricane and, even further back, of Firefly, a pony who, in legend, was a friend and ally to the 'human' known as Meghan, who saved the ponies from the demon Tirak. Nearer to the present, one of her ancestresses was the founder of Cloudsdale.

However, Rainbow really wouldn't like to be a VIP (Very Important Pony) for anything than her skill as an athlete. The residual power coming from bloodline really doesn't interest her. In any case, being a ruler would be too much boring work for her and would keep her away from adventure! She'll leave that sort of stuff to more responsible ponies like Twilight Sparkle.
