Description
Leading the headcanon is the biggest elephant in the room, their age. Since the series never truly goes into any character’s ages, I’ve decided to give my own headcanons about some of the characters. While the bolts have definitive ages, not all headcanons will have their ages stated. Just wanted to preface that before the age question gets thrown around lol. The only reason that the bolts are getting their ages nailed down is because of the impact their ages have on the team.
With the bolts, I believe that the current team could be divided into 3 categories. The Retired seniors of the team, the intermediates, those who were part of the retiree’s OG team but carried over to training the newbies, and the newer team.
Spitfire, Soarin, his sister High Winds, Fleetfoot, her wife Misty Fly, Fire Streak, and Surprise all retire after a long career with the bolts. Many of the bolts retire young. With high-intensity flying acrobatics, there’s frankly a reason to. However, there are those who take the time to teach the future teams of wonderbolts as drill sergeants. Spitfire being one of them. The rest lead a simple life after their careers.
Others who don’t wish to retire or aren’t old enough to keep teaching the newbies within the team. Ponies like Lightning Streak, Silver Zoom, Sun Chaser, Wind Waker, and Wave Chill stay within the bolts until it’s their time to retire.
Other than those who retire and who don’t, the headcanon leaves the five members this time around! I’ll most likely draw the others another time! The bolts are my favorite group in the show.
So have some fun facts! I’ll expand the bolts into their own pages eventually :P
-
Soarin’ and High Winds are siblings. However, Spitfire grew up with them at a very young age due to a not-so-savory situation at home. Leading to her unofficial adoption into the family.
-
Spitfire and Soarin’ are the best of friends. They’ve seen each other at their worsts and they’d tell you that there are very few people to know them as well as either of them do.
-
Although it was a rule in the bolts to not fraternize with each other in any romantic ways, that doesn’t mean anyone adhered to it. There were many relationships that ended in either good, bad, or ugly terms. Though there weren’t many ugly endings.
-
One of the better endings to that broken rule was Misty Fly and Fleetfoot. Getting into mischief together, the two of them caused quite the trouble in the bolts.
-
The Wonderbolts aren’t just a derby team or an aeronautic team. They often do private flying shows for big-name events and celebrities across Equestria
-
The Bolts aren’t as uptight as many (Rainbow Dash) think. Though they of course have to keep up appearances and be on their best behaviour, behind closed doors the bolts are just a tight-knit group that looks out for each other. Especially with super fans that get crazy.
