Lauren wanted to include her (among other ponies) in Friendship is Magic because she was a fan of the old shows, and had done fanfictions of My Little Pony starring her six favorite ponies which got adapted into FIM episodes. She wasn't allowed because Hasbro had copyright problems with some ponies, so she too "bits of the unavaliable ponies' personalities that she liked" and gave them to the "new" ponies (who shared their names with generation 3 ponies), with the personality she had given them.

So, she took the parts she liked of Firefly's personality that she liked, and added them to "her" Dash's personality, but the plan was to use Firefly herself.
