||| RARITY |||
#Name; Rarity.
#Age Group ; Young adult.
#Gender ; Female.
#Species; Unicorn Pony.
#Cutie Mark ; Sup
#Occupation ; Fashion designer, shopkeeper, and seamstress.
#Powers and Abilities ;Due to Rarity being a unicorn pony, let’s start with the obvious: her skills with magic. The main spell Rarity is seen using is levitation, which she utilizes in various tasks, one of the most important being her dress making. She is shown to be extremely proficient in this spell’s use, making extremely precise cuts and manipulating large amounts of objects at once which, as we’ve seen, can be a very tiring and strenuous process for a unicorn pony. To put it under an umbrella term, Rarity’s magic is centered on “fabulousity.” Rarity’s range with her telekinesis is astounding, shown by how she is able to pull a couch all the way from Carousel Boutique just to faint upon it. Another spell Rarity has been shown utilizing is attaching different objects together, such as when she attaches a piece of her tail to Steven Magnet’s mustache. A final spell that Rarity is shown using, which is pretty astounding in its own right, is the ability to uncover underground gems, which wasn’t something that Rarity actually learned but instead it developed on its own. It’s implied that she has trained it; however, as she ended up teaching it to Twilight some time before she was kidnapped by the Diamond Dogs.
Moving on from that is Rarity’s biggest skill, and her best talent: dressmaking. In fact, it’s so great that she even has an entire song dedicated to it! Rarity has shown a gigantic amount of love and effort in her work, a self-proclaimed “fashionista”, and it definitely shows. Rarity is extremely flexible with her designs, believing that the customer is always right no matter how much this may end up stressing her out. In that regard Rarity is an extremely patient individual when dealing with her art, which can be seen as a large strength given the profession she’s undertaken.
One thing that definitely needs to be kept in mind when it comes to Rarity is her physical prowess when pushed into it. Yes, Rarity is a prim and proper mare, but that doesn’t mean she won’t get into a brawl if she’s required to. Examples include kicking a manticore in the face, flankchecking Twilight, performing a flying kick in Applejack’s direction, kicking Sweetie Belle’s door open like some kind of police officer, and probably the best examples being knocking out three Wonderbolts and kicking the stuffing out of numerous Changelings. This isn’t just a physical aspect either, considering that Rarity’s anger can be rather terrifying. The best example of this is when she says she will “Rip them to pieces” when referring to the other dragons toward the possibility of them harming Spike.
As for miscellaneous skills, Rarity has shown to have a large amount of charm when it concerns stallions… and she knows it. Rarity has no qualm in utilizing this charm to get what she wants or needs if the situation is dire for it. Like the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility and Rarity has never been the kind of person that would use this talent for underhanded purposes. Rarity also isn’t very good at the game of tic-tac-toe, having lost thirty-five times in a row. Also, while not an actual skill, Rarity is seen spitting out whatever food or drink she may have put in her mouth if she is required to: either out of taste or to keep up an appearance. Despite this, perhaps the fact that she is able to keep the disgusting drink or food in her mouth so as not to upset the person giving it to her before she has the chance to spit it out could be considered a talent of hers.
#Physique ; Being far more of an indoor, graceful pony than a hard working, down and dirty type, Rarity is far from muscular. While she isn't completely fragile, given the fact that she has gotten into her share of hoof-to-hoof fights before, she's probably the second most fragile pony of the mane 6, the only pony under her being Fluttershy.
#Mane and fur color and style ; You can see it clearly in the picture. As for coloring, moderate indigo, and on the shadowed side, a gradient of dark mulberry to moderate mulberry.
#Eye color ; Moderate azure.
#Personality ;It’s no question that Rarity is a very beautiful mare, but being a beauty isn’t just your appearance. It’s also a mindset, which is one of Rarity’s most apparent and largest personality traits. Rarity is utterly in love with anything she considers beautiful, which has its good and bad aspects. Rarity refuses to allow her appearance to so much as have a single blemish upon it, which is why her reactions to getting dirty or her mane being messed up are so over the top. Examples include bursting into tears and running away when her mane is ruined, panicking at the ideas of getting muddy and soaked in the rain, and suffering a complete depressive breakdown when compared to a mule. Now, you may be thinking to yourself that this aspect couldn’t possibly carry over into serious or life-threatening situations right…? …Well, you’d be wrong. The best example has got to be when Rarity wears a fancy scarf when heading to a dragon’s lair, even offhandedly wondering whether or not she should have also worn a tiara.
The center of attention wouldn’t be a good enough phrase to describe how much Rarity absolutely adores being in everyone’s eyes. Rarity wants to be the pony that everyone pays attention to and, in contrast to the extremely shy Fluttershy, is very outgoing in this goal. The episodes Green Isn’t Your Color and Sonic Rainboom are the best episodes to bring up in this aspect of Rarity’s personality. In the former, while Rarity is initially pushing Fluttershy into the spotlight to model for her dresses because she wants to become famous herself, Rarity shows a large amount of envy and jealousy toward Fluttershy when she is the one that is picked up and put in the spotlight over her. Eventually she admits that she was envious and jealous of Fluttershy, but attempts her hardest to overcome this aspect so that she can support Fluttershy’s fame. In the latter, Rarity begins trying to support Rainbow Dash and Twilight performs a spell that assists her in flying. …Eventually, however, Rarity completely steals the spotlight from Rainbow Dash and shows off as much as she possibly can. This goes to Rarity’s head and causes her to even enter the competition, which sends Rainbow Dash into a nervous breakdown. Rarity learns from her mistake here as well, nearly dying in the process but being saved by Dash, apologies coming out and their friendship being mended.
Following up on the prim and proper message that this profile has probably beaten into you by now, Rarity is very well spoken and perhaps the best spoken out of the mane six. She speaks with a very elegant accent, and sometimes adds larger or more complex words than you see other ponies using. When she refers to different things, she has a much more sophisticated way of speaking and phrases that she will use in contrast to the more mundane sayings that ponies such as Applejack may utilize. Of course… prim and proper can sometimes show effects akin to OCD for Rarity. Examples such as ignoring a tree through a window to fix a messy bookcase and spending nearly an entire day on a messy bird’s nest despite being required to make much more than just one are just some of the ways that Rarity’s attention to detail can get pretty carried away.
Make no mistake; however, Rarity is a rather resourceful and pretty tough pony when the need calls for it. In A Dog and Pony Show, Rarity is able to completely outsmart and overcome the Diamond Dogs that had taken her captive to search for gems. This is utilized through her ‘whining’, when she notices that the dogs have taken a high aversion toward it. Being a high maintenance mare, the dogs were constantly driven to madness due to Rarity’s personality and their offer of doing “anything” to make her stop whining was taken almost instantly. Not only did the Diamond Dogs eventually release Rarity, but she had made it so that all of their gems were given up to her. I feel it’s also important to note in this category the relationship between Applejack and Rarity which is a very heavy contrast. The elegant, prim, proper and mess despising Rarity is constantly at odds with the much more down to Earth, brash, mud ignoring Applejack. While eventually Rarity and Applejack do end up working alongside one another and doing their best to ignore their differences, as friends happen to do, that doesn’t change the fact that they are very much different ponies.
The final aspect of Rarity’s personality was the best saved for last. As the Element of Generosity, Rarity is an extremely generous and caring individual, even willing to forgo her own appearance or aversion to getting dirty when it comes to helping those in need. The example that gains her the element is when she cuts off her tail to even out Steven Magnet’s mustache, feeling that she couldn’t let the serpent’s “fabulosity” suffer. Rarity has a large amount of care and devotion to her friends, mainly the mane six, heavily shown in one of her centric episodes Suited for Success, which shows her running herself ragged due to her generosity in making everyone’s dresses the way they want them. While what her friends wanted were utter crimes against fashion, Rarity still worked and toiled for them because they were what her friends wanted, showing off her generous nature. Eventually the lesson learned is that it was wrong to take Rarity’s generosity for granted, though Rarity doesn’t appear to mind and forgives them. The exact opposite of this nature is revealed by Discord, when Rarity is influenced by a giant boulder that she believed was a large diamond. She even went so far as to name it Tom, and defended it with her very life, bringing it around with her everywhere and snapping at anyone that tried to touch it or get near it. Of course, Tom wasn’t the only thing that Rarity went after, hoarding anything that she saw as valuable. When turned back, Rarity is so embarrassed and angry over the event that she asks them to never speak of it again. Of course, it does get brought up again and Rarity mentions this once more.
#History ;Rarity was born in Ponyville, and the earliest point in time that we see in her in the show is in the schoolhouse as a filly. We see her having designed the food costumes for an upcoming school play, but stressing, believing that the dresses she had made didn’t meet her expectations. While trying to make new ones, albeit to no avail, Rarity’s horn suddenly starts glowing and she is forcefully dragged by it. With the thought in her head that she would be led to her destiny by it, Rarity is eventually led to…! …A boulder. A large, geode reminiscent boulder. Infuriated and upset that her destiny could be this rock, Rarity looks upward just in time to see Rainbow Dash’s Sonic Rainboom. The ensuing blast from the rainboom causes the rock to split open, revealing dozens of gemstones inside of it. An idea hits the filly Rarity, and she utilizes the gemstones upon the costumes to make them shine. Not only does the crowd absolutely admire her designs, but this causes the three diamonds that make up her cutie mark to appear on her flank. Rarity was a blank flank no longer.
Jumping ahead to the first time that we actually see Rarity in the show, she is a young adult mare who is designing the décor for the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration. She is distracted, however, by the status of Twilight’s mane and immediately resolves to give the fellow mare a makeover.The Roleplayer's Corner
