Recently, I came to the conclusion that Rarity is my favorite. I feel like her character has a lot of depth even though it may not be totally evident at first. Also, since I myself am a fashion major & enthusiast I feel like I've gotta stand up for her since she gets a lot of flack for caring about her appearance/fashion. I remember reading something that pointed out how great Rarity's character truly is because with her personality and interests she would be typically cast as an antagonist of the series as opposed to being friends with the other girls. I like that she has flaws & she'll own up to them like in Sonic Rainboom. I know that episode in particular makes a lot of people hate Rarity. So, when I rewatched it recently, I tried to take a look at it from Rarity's point of view. Rarity realized that Rainbowdash was nervous for the competition; without her speaking up, would the others have come up with the idea to go see Rainbowdash perform? Rarity was given those incredibly beautiful wings which she was appreciative of, but she did get carried away which I feel like is a natural reaction. I mean imagine flying for the first time with these beautiful wings to boot? And in the end, like I said she admitted her faults and apologized. BUT WHATEVER. I just wanted to bring that up since that episode puts Rarity in a really bad light.

Another thing that I think is really interesting is that she had a special talent before her cutie mark that isn't necessarily related to her cutie mark. She already had an interest and ability in fashion, and her cutie mark is more in relation to her ability to find and use rare gems. It makes her talents seem multi-dimensional, don't you think?
