Spitfire

Spitfire is a female pegasus, and the captain of the The Wonderbolts. She makes her debut in Sonic Rainboom, and her name is first used in The Best Night Ever. She and Soarin' are the first two members of the Wonderbolts to be named on the show. Spitfire is a term denoting a person with a fierce temper. The Supermarine Spitfire is also the name of an iconic British-produced Allied fighter aircraft used in the Second World War.

Appearances
Spitfire first appears in Sonic Rainboom, where she is one of the celebrity judges of the Best Young Flier Competition; later in the episode, she gets knocked out trying to save Rarity from falling to her death. In The Best Night Ever, she recognizes Rainbow Dash at the Gala and asks her to hang out with the Wonderbolts. However, she is too distracted by other ponies to pay much attention to Rainbow Dash.

Her character design is used for one of the racers in the Wonderbolts Derby in Sweet and Elite, who comes in second to Fleetfoot.

In the episode Hurricane Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash mentions that Spitfire is the captain of the Wonderbolts. Later in the episode, she supervises the other pegasus ponies as they create the water tornado, and seems impressed by their efforts, even though they didn't break the record.
