When Rarity was a filly, she always had a passion for fashion, so when she was given the opportunity to make the costumes for a school play she jumped right on it! The costumes, however, were missing something, and Rarity couldn’t quite put her hoof on what it could be! While stressing over it, all of a sudden she noticed her horn was aglow, and it was pulling her down some unknown path towards her DESTINY! After what felt like hours of being dragged, she ended up in front of a MASSIVE rock. At first Rarity was IRATE! Her destiny?! This whole journey for a ROCK!? She was so mad she could nearly scream!

Suddenly, a rainbow tore across the sky, filling her eyes with the color! To her surprise, the radiant power from the rainbow cracked the rock wide open! The rock was FILLED with the most beautiful gems, and upon catching sight of their sparkling beauty, Rarity knew just what to do. She took them right back home and added them to her costumes. They were the perfect touch, exactly what she was missing, and with a light tap, her teacher pointed out that she had earned her cutie mark! Three gems symbolizing her discovered talent for locating them and her determination and drive to always push herself and better her work.


Unique Traits: Rarity’s talents most commonly assist her in designing and crafting the outfits she’s well-known for. She possesses specific spell used to locate precious gems, as well as strong levitation magic which allows her to levitate several items at once. Even with the chaos of fabric and tools flying everywhere, she possesses a razor-sharp focus, allowing her to remain steadfast to the task at hand. She is an expert planner and incredibly business savvy.

History: Rarity was born a fashionista in a small country town where fashion wasn’t viewed as incredibly important. Since her youth, she pored over magazines, fiddled with patterns, and worked at mastering her sewing machine and magic, always jumping at the chance to model off any of her newer designs. A lot of her inspirations came from magazines that her mother would get for her on her occasional to Canterlot, and Rarity would pore over them in earnest, wanting to learn what was new, what was trending, and who was who in the fashion world! Even she wasn’t sure where this love of fashion came from,but Rarity embraced it with all of her being.

When she was a young filly, and shortly after getting her cutie mark, her parents took her to Canterlot to see the city she was enamored with for herself. Rarity fell in love instantly! The culture! The fashion! The art! Oh, there was so much! She vowed right then and there to live in this magnificent city one day.

Rarity took home a great deal of knowledge and an even hotter fire to create and find her place on the map. The moment she got home, she lost herself in her work and would show off her talents whenever possible. School play? Rarity made the costumes. Cuteciñera party? Rarity made the guest of honor pony’s dress! A dance coming up? Rarity! Festival attire? Rarity!


Rarity’s work eventually began to spread and become more well-known, and with the help of a good business sense and a pair of business savvy parents, Rarity opened her very own boutique right in Ponyville, becoming the fashion hub of the town.

Rarity was always a generous soul. She was generous with her time, her talents, and her advice - even if some of it was unwanted. It was no surprise at all when she became the bearer of the Element of Generosity. She wore it proudly, being giving of herself first and foremost. No dress was too important, nor was any manedo too significant that she wouldn’t lay it down instantly to help her friends.


A lot has happened in Rarity’s life, and some of the more reckless and dangerous aspects of it had been a direct result of Twilight Sparkle coming to Ponyville. Rarity has faced Manticores, Nightmare Moon, Discord, dragons, Diamond Dogs, and even Changelings, and has stood brave and strong alongside the friends she couldn’t be more grateful for.
Nowadays, Rarity’s life has started to go in the direction she’s always wanted! She is Sapphire Shores’ go-to designer, has been published in many magazines by the likes of Hoity Toity, and has even made her way into the good graces of one Fancy Pants - the crème de la crème of Canterlot! Despite all this fame, Rarity stays true to her art and has never forgotten where she was, who she was, or where she came from.

Character Summary/Personality: When ponies first meet Rarity they can easily write her off as a fashion obsessed floozy with no substance. Just a vain, pretty face without a lick of common sense. However, they could not be more wrong about her.

Running a business takes a great deal of brains and resources, and Rarity has both - once even making an entire line out of bits and bobs in a hotel room after her prior work was stolen! She’s also proven she can be as tough as nails, despite looking like an adorable marshmallow.


She is fully capable of holding her own in a fight, standing up for herself, and utilizing her razor sharp wits to get out of sticky situations. Of course, Rarity has her faults as well; sometimes she gets so caught up with her work that she can lose sight of other important matters. She can be self-absorbed, petty, and she’s prone to fits of drama and hysterics. Sometimes, she can be downright catty! She suffers on occasion from vanity, ego, and pride, with a nasty tendency to fuss over tiny details.

Her generosity, whilst a wonderful virtue, can also be a terrible vice, making her a little too easy to take advantage of. Sometimes, she puts others needs before her own and takes on massive tasks without any thought as to how it will affect her own goals. Luckily, she has fantastic friends to help reel her in if she sinks too far into her self-created quagmire.
Despite her flaws and delicate appearance, Rarity is a strong, independent, and well-rounded pony with a generous soul, making her a true gem!
