Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty and is one of out six ponies that maintain harmony in Equestria.
Background
When Rainbow Dash was just a filly, she raced three bullies to help defend her good friend, Fluttershy's honor. During this race, she discovered her likes for speed and went faster and faster until she performed a sonic rainboom and got her cutie mark. This single event also caused Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie to get their cutie marks. Years later, she moved to Ponyville. During the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration, she was hired to keep the skies clear. When she delayed it to practice her flying to join the Wonderbolts, she met Twilight Sparkle. Twilight challenged her, saying that a pegagus who can't even keep the skies clear cannot join the Wonderbolts. However, Rainbow Dash proved her wrong and cleared the skies in ten seconds flat, leaving behind a shocked Twilight Sparkle.
Later, when Nightmare Moon returned, she and four other ponies helped her go to the Castle of the Two Sisters which is located in the Everfree Forest. Eventually, they stumbled upon a broken bridge. Rainbow Dash flew to the other side to tie it but Nightmare Moon disguised herself as the Shadowbolts and tried to bribed her. However, Rainbow Dash proved her loyalty and rejected.
Later, when they confront Nightmare Moon, the Element of Loyalty bonded to her. Using the Element of Harmony, they changed Nightmare Moon back to Princess Luna. They would continue to use the Elements of Harmony and help defend Equestria.
