Description
Edit// Make your own Lightning Blitz nowAlso take a look at Sunset Breeze - My version of Dash's mother
Together:
And heres my version of Dash's father
Also no ref for the pose, but I looked at some examples for the anatomy, so it looks waaay better then on Sunset
Blitz is a daredevil with a love for dangerous aerial stunts since he first tasted it, you could say he's literally addicted to the rush. Flying with enormous speed is in his blood. He once formed a aerial stunt performing team with his older brother Thunder Strike, but he went solo after a fight between the two. Like his (future) daughter, Blitz also got his own move (unnamed yet, lol). When he isn't flying he is spending time with his girl or napping on a cloud.
Blitz' cutie mark is a green-blue-purple lightning streak with black fire behind it. It stands for his love for speed, and the black fire trail he leaves behind while flying.
He became known as the best flyer around. This drew the attention from Sunset Breeze, a pretty pegasus mare. Blitz soon became famous with thousands of female fans, however he always staid loyal to his mate.
Blitz and Sunset were both very young when Sunset felt pregnant with Dash. When Dash was just a baby Blitz was almost killed while performing a dangerous stunt. Sunset feared for her mates life and wanted him to temporary quit, so he had more time for his family. Blitz took a job at a snowflake factory, and since then never performed again. He became chubby and slow and worked many hours. When he came home he landed on his chair, watching television or reading the news paper. Untill that black day...
I loved the idea that RD's hair is a combination of her parent's hair, so I did that. She got red-orange-yellow from mom and purple-blue-green from dad. Dash inherited her father's coat but a lighter variant thanks to her mother. Blitz' wings are bigger then the regular Pegasi's. When he flies, he leaves a trail of black fire behind, when he's mad, black thunder clouds appear at the sky.
Blitz would be Dash's biggest hero if she ever knew what he was and what he did before she was born. I never read somewhere if Dash her parents are dead. If they aren't, I think that they lost contact. In my version its would be because Dash was sick of her constant classing with her mother, her polar opposite, their over protectiveness and both parent's forbidding her to do dangerous stuff.
If they are, this is my idea: Dash rebelled against her parent's strict rules not to do anything dangerous. She always went flying and performing tricks with some colt friends. One day her father caught her doing tricks. Dash flew away from him, but her father followed her. Surprised by her fathers speed she started flapping her wings harder. Exhausted at some point she became unconscious, and started falling. Blitz could catch her in time, but his weak wing (the wing he hurt at the accident that almost killed him) started to refuse to flap, like some kind of cramp. Blitz tried the best he could, but his wing kept refusing. He accepted his faith, and fell to the earth with his hooves protectively around Dash. Blitz crashed into the ground. He died instantly with no pain. When Dash woke up, she laid on her father's belly. He looked like he was sleeping, but Dash felt deep inside he didn't...
Her mother was so incredibly sad, she didn't stop grieving over the loss of the love of her life. She literally died of a broken heart...
Its sad, its sad...

Very well though out, I especially like the cutie mark, it's original and at the same time is similar to Rainbow Dash's. His pose is actually simple, yet it says something. His tail and mane are well thought out, I also like how you gave even his eyebrows some originality. I like how his and Dash's mother hair colors combine to make dash's hair colors. Overall it is really original and until they actually show dash's parents (if they ever do...) I will imagine these two as dash's parents. Keep up the amazing work, I will add you to my watch list.

Too bad Dash's father was shown already. I love how creative you are.
Of you are wondering when Dashie's father was shown, watch the episode "Games Ponies Play"

Sunset Breeze and Lightning Blitz are simply amazing. They have a great backstory with no (obvious) plot holes, atleast to me.
Lightning Blitz is Dash is guy form almost, just the colors and cutie mark are different, and that kinda make sense that'd she take from her dad, who by the backstory, might seem a bit more laid back, egging her on silently while her mother gasps and scolds her and him backing her up, though maybe not to the same extent.

LugiaAngel, I really like your design for Rainbow Dash's father. He looks like the kind of dad she would have. I was just wondering something, is it alright if I use him in a fanfic I'm writing based on the show?
See, I'm writing a trilogy, with each story based on a single season, and in the third book, I'm going to have a chapter about the Mane 6 being reunited with their long-lost parents. Since you don't like to separate these two, I'll include them both. I'll be sure to credit you if you approve of me using them. Oh, and I wonder if it was okay if I could use your design for Applejack's parents, too? The only thing I would change in the story was their names, because in my opinion, they don't really fit. So is it okay if I use them?

Hi there, I really like the design for Dash's father, and as such I was wondering if I could use him in a project i'm working on, which is a family group shot for Dash. The mother in the piece is going to be the G1 pony (and Rainbow Dash concept) Fire Fly.

As I happened to chance upon this, and having read it carefully, I was gob smacked how close this canon was to mine. I had it figured in my head that Rainbow Dash never met her mother. In my head canon, her mother died when she was born, and her father raised Little Dashie all by his lonesome. He raised her to value her freedom but to never dishonour her family.
