Rarity and Her Rare Taste

Name: Rarity

Age: 27

Personality: (Rarity takes great concern for beauty both in herself and in others. She rushes Twilight Sparkle to the Carousel Boutique to fix her disheveled mane when they first meet, and, Rarity alone sympathizes with a sea serpent as he despairs over his ruined mustache.Rarity takes great care in producing gala dresses for the rest of the Mane Six and organizes a fashion show to display them.

Rarity is very knowledgeable about fashion and tries to stay abreast of the latest trends. She anticipates that ruffled taffeta capes will become popular and asks Twilight for books about them in order to be "ahead of the game". Rarity's outfit impresses a room full of fashion critics in Green Isn't Your Color such that they conclude she "clearly knows a thing or two about fashion". After Suri Polomare presents Rarity's signature fabric as her own during a fashion contest in Manehattan, Rarity develops a brand new line overnight based on her hotel's aesthetic and ends up winning first place.

Rarity is sometimes overly sensitive about appearance and cleanliness. Despite fearing that her "wonderfully styled mane shall be ruined" in a thunderstorm, she refuses to take shelter under a picnic table due to a mud puddle. As the Mane Six prepare to confront a dragon atop a mountain, Rarity fears she may have forgotten to bring a tiara that matches her scarf. On the Friendship Express, when presented with a false eyelash as evidence that she took a bite from the Cakes' contest entry, Rarity dramatically admits to using false eyelashes before casually admitting to eating the cake. In Magic Duel, Rarity becomes inconsolable when Trixie magically clothes her in a dress prominently featuring shades of brown that "should only be used for accents".

In Campfire Tales, Rarity also accentuates the value of inner beauty, as showcased in her story about Mistmane, who gave up her own beauty to save her friend and dedicated her life to spreading beauty across Equestria. When her mane gets ruined in It Isn't the Mane Thing About You, Rarity falls into a state of depression, but when her friends remind her of all she has accomplished, she brings her own inner beauty to the surface with a brand new look that becomes popular and inspires a new fashion trend.)

Appearance: (Rarity is a unicorn with an ivory white coat, and a medium purple mane and tail. Her eyes are blue, and she has long eyelashes. But instead she takes on a more humanoid appearances, standing on two legs and having a human body. But she still has the pony appearance of white, ivory coat. Purple mane and tail and the rest of her features. But she does have huge feet too.)

Feet: (Her feet are plump, she has 5 toes. Each with purple toe nails, her feet skin is wrinkly and soft. They smell sweet and well kept. But she does have a foot fetish.)

Background Info: (Rarity recounts how she earned her cutie mark. As a filly, she dreamed of becoming a fashionista and tried to produce "spectacular" costumes for a school play, though her teacher referred to them only as "nice". Rarity felt discouraged after failing to redesign the costumes to her satisfaction and considered giving up the effort, whereupon her horn suddenly shone with bright light before pulling her far across the land and into a large boulder. Though initially upset at the seemingly pointless journey, Rarity became thrilled when the shockwave from a distant explosion cracked open the boulder to reveal a trove of gemstones inside. She incorporated the gems into her costumes, and as they drew awe from both her teacher and the audience on the night of the performance, her cutie mark appeared. Several episodes depict Rarity seeking after attention and recognition from the public. When Fluttershy's modelling career takes off in Green Isn't Your Color, Rarity grows jealous of her friend's stardom and claims that she should be the one getting "mobbed by strangers". In Sonic Rainboom, Rarity is pleased when her temporary wings draw admiration from the Cloudsdale Pegasi, and she eventually agrees to compete in the Best Young Flyer Competition despite her initial goal of supporting Rainbow Dash in it. In Sweet and Elite, Rarity lies to her friends so she can spend more time in Canterlot and grow her popularity among the city's elite. Rarity generally acts with dignity and grace and speaks eloquently with a Transatlantic accent. She occasionally employs French vocabulary when speaking in the parlance of fashion and often addresses others as "darling".

Rarity prides herself on giving attention to detail in her work, though this sometimes results in neglecting larger issues. When a tree crashes into Twilight Sparkle's bedroom in Look Before You Sleep, Rarity ignores the tree in favor of reorganizing a jostled bookshelf. In Winter Wrap Up, she spends most of the day trying to fix Twilight's botched bird nest instead of creating new ones, leading to delays in Ponyville's Winter Wrap Up operation.

Rarity can be tough and resourceful in difficult situations. When kidnapped by the Diamond Dogs in A Dog and Pony Show and forced to find gems, she exasperates the dogs with incessant whining and ultimately convinces them to let her leave with several carts' worth of gems. In Swarm of the Century, while the other ponies are alarmed by the unexpected multiplication of their pet parasprites, Rarity puts hers to work at the Carousel Boutique and comments that they are "quite useful". In Dragon Quest, Rarity tells a group of teenaged dragons menacing Spike that she'll "rip them to pieces" if they attack.

Whenever Rarity finds herself in a stressful situation, she has a tendency to eat large amounts of ice cream. Rarity represents the element of generosity; despite her concern for attention and personal beauty, she generally acts with sympathy and selflessness towards others. She insists on giving Twilight Sparkle a makeover to fix her frazzled mane in Friendship is Magic, part 1, and in Friendship is Magic, part 2 Rarity slices off her own tail and uses it to fix Steven Magnet's mustache.

Rarity produces a gala dress for each of her five friends in Suited For Success; when they disapprove of her designs, she agrees to produce new dresses according to their specifications, despite her view that they are the "ugliest dresses [she's] ever made". In Secret of My Excess, Rarity is so inspired when Spike gives her his prized fire ruby that she produces newly-designed taffeta capes for each of her friends.

When Sweetie Belle refuses to reunite with her sister in Sisterhooves Social, Applejack tells Rarity that sisterhood is a give-and-take relationship and suggests that she focus more on giving. To this end, Rarity uses mud to disguise herself as Applejack and participates with Sweetie in the Sisterhooves Social event. In Rarity Takes Manehattan, Rarity arranges an exclusive performance of a sold-out musical for her friends to see in exchange for producing dresses for the costume designer's next show. The act convinces her rival's assistant, Coco Pommel, to quit her work and believe that there's "something better for her out there".)

Telekinesis: She uses sewing and cutting tools through telekinesis with the precision needed to make her dresses, manipulating multiple items at once. Gardening and Topiary Connection: Rarity demonstrates the ability to connect with trees such as reattaching branches and with tree foliage and cast a spell that turns it into topiary. She is later also able to restore a worn out ancient family garden. Illusion Casting: Rarity uses her magic to create an impressive light display as well as forming intricate illusions in her self - generated backdrop. Dowsing: Rarity can also use her magic to expose underground gems. Light Generation: Like Twilight Sparkle, Rarity can use her horn magic to create light. Magical Beam Emission: Rarity can shoot concussive beams from her horn similar to Twilight Sparkle.)
