Characters Reading: Rainbow Dash (My Little Pony)

Rainbow Dash reminds me of someone who says they don't like to read or think it's something for nerds and geeks that is until they find a book that really sparks their interests in reading. Which is what happened in the My Little Pony episode "Read It and Weep". Following a bad fall, Rainbow Dash injured her wing and had to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover.

Rainbow was bored and restless and to avoid furthering that, Twilight Sparkle gave her the book Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone she retrieved from a nurse's cart. But Dash wasn't too keen on reading and tossed the book aside. But with nothing else to do after her friends left, she finally decided to read the book and she was immediately drawn into the exciting adventures of Daring Do. She was enjoying the story so much that she didn't want to put it down.

She never wanted to read because in her words that was for "eggheads" but once she found a book that interested her, she gained a new found love of reading. She realized how fun reading is and not to judge something without having tried it.

30 Day Geek Chic Challenge, Day #13: Rainbow Dash: Rest and Relaxation

Day #13: Rainbow Dash: Rest and Relaxation

My inspiration for today's challenge is Rainbow Dash because I just feel like sitting back and doing absolutely nothing tonight.

For a pony who is usually on the go it's sometimes hard for Rainbow Dash to do nothing. She gets bored fairly often when she's not busy. But on occasion she can be found relaxing in the clouds or taking some time to read.

My challenge for this evening is to do nothing but relax. I don't feel like going out tonight and after a busy week I just want to sit in and take it easy.
