Actually RD drains the coolness from you, which is how she stays so cool. How else do you think many of her friends stay so awkward?

The reason RD doesn't gain effective coolness is that the coolness is used to cool RD's body during the Sonic Rainboom, so she doesn't burn up into a pile of ashes from the friction.

The friction in moving air, is what causes the lightning and energy release during a lightning bolt. In case you haven't noticed, RD's cutie mark is a cloud and lightning bolt, which references her ability, to preform the Sonic Rainboom, which relies on draining coolness from her friends to power her magic. Remember that even the lighting bolt is rainbow colored.
