Lightning Dust

Lightning Dust is a female Pegasus pony character who appears in the episode Wonderbolts Academy.

Depiction in the series
Lightning Dust is shown to be a vigorous and highly competitive flyer who loves to test her limits over what she can or cannot accomplish. With her strong attitude, her speed, and love for flying, she forms a friendship with Rainbow Dash. However, because of her competitive spirit, Lightning Dust is also very reckless and shows little concern for anyone that becomes a victim of her actions. This is shown when she ignores Rainbow Dash's injury caused by her flying during a team exercise, or when she brushes off the fact that a tornado she caused flung Rainbow Dash's friends from Twilight Sparkle's hot-air balloon, endangering them. Lightning Dust's recklessness and disregard for the well-being of others causes Spitfire to take away her team leader pin and give it to Rainbow Dash.

"Let me show you what I've got, ma'am."

"Ma'am, can you put the Dizzitron on maximum speed? I wanna push my limits."

- Wonderbolts Academy

"They should make us Wonderbolts right now."

- Wonderbolts Academy

"Hey, you snooze, you lose! Besides, Wonderbolts are supposed to be able to recover from a spinout. You saw them on the Dizzitron. They could use the practice. I mean, it's not our fault we're so much better than those other guys. Not every pony is destined to become a Wonderbolt. Only the best of the best, right?"
