http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Rarity Personality: Rarity is the fabulous fanshionista pony of the mane main group of six. Her name represents the ‘cutie mark’ on her flank; three blue diamonds and her special talent is finding jewels with her unicorn magic. She is also a fashion designer and runs her own Boutique in Ponyville.
Rarity is prim, proper, prissy, and protective of her prestigious image. Yet, she represents the element of generosity. She just looks good while doing it and since she looks good, she feels that others should look good as well. In fact, she will drop everything that she is doing, no matter what it is and will give anypony a makeover when she sees that they desperately need it. There was also a time where she designed and made each of her friend’s dresses for the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot even though she had been hard at work on her own dress. She is also selfless and even cut off her own beautiful tail in order to fix the mustache of a distressed river serpent. Everything she does for her friends, she does out of the kindness of her heart, unless she is really trying to impress someone or win them over.
Just because Rarity has a big heart and gives sometimes more than what she has, doesn’t mean that she isn’t vain. Her image is very important to her and she absolutely detests the idea of getting dirty, but she is more than willing to get her hooves dirty for the sake of her friends. On another note, she also enjoys the spotlight and often lets her desire to be a star get in the way of what is really important. However, she has learned to not let herself get carried away when the spotlight is on her. After all, no one likes a show-off and a true lady is modest and humble.
Rarity radiates confidence and rarely has her moments of insecurity which makes it is easy for her encourage others in moments of doubt. She is very observant and can detect when something is wrong with a friend and will be the first to suggest a way to help them out; even to the point of her own happiness being at stake. With that being said, Rarity does get jealous, especially when the spotlight is taken from her and given to one of her friends.
Rarity isn’t the type to keep her feelings and emotions to herself. She is very comfortable expressing herself and confrontation is never an issue for her; especially if she is trying to get somepony to tell her whether or not they like the dress that she made them. She wants honesty and in return, she tries to be honest as well; unless she doesn’t want to upset somepony. Only then will she stretch the truth a little bit.
Socially, Rarity is well spoken, polite, and very friendly to those that she meets for the first time. Being lady-like is very important to her and she feels that it is necessary to always be at her best. Though there have been times when she has trouble restraining herself from overreacting. This is mostly in the presence of famous ponies or times where she is overwhelmed with work, yet she still manages to maintain her manners, grace, and poise when addressing these situations. And if she fails, she always apologizes for her behavior. With her friends, she is very dedicated, loyal, kind and perhaps a little bit pushy if she feels the need to give them a make-over. The only time she has been known not to get along with someone is if they are not as keen on cleanliness as she is. People who fail to use good hygiene bother her immensely.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+Rarity is very generous; she will give up something that she has in order to help someone in need. She has a big heart and she is not the least bit stingy with her generosity.
+Rarity is dedicated to her cause whatever it may be. She isn’t a quitter and she never backs down from a challenge even if it seems insurmountable.
+With a friend like Rarity, nopony will go on looking unfabulous. Maybe this is more of a joke, but really. She cares about her friend’s appearances and wants each of them to not only look, but feel good about themselves. If she can always look fabulous and feel good about herself, then others should too.
+Rarity handles herself well in sticky situations. She can take care of herself.
+Rarity is not afraid to get her hooves dirty for the sake of a friend.
-Rarity can be too generous. She wears herself out or gives up something that didn’t necessarily need to be given up.
-Rarity is afraid of getting dirty. She takes extreme measures to keep herself clean and when she does get dirty she complains or overreacts like it’s the end of the world.
-Rarity is a drama queen. No really. It’s ridiculous. There have been many instances where she sighs dramatically, throws her front hoof over her head and falls over onto the ground or onto a couch depending on what kind of ground she would be falling on.
-Rarity has a bit of a big ego. And when said ego is stroked, she sometimes forgets what’s truly important.
-Rarity can be violent when she gets angry. All of that lady-like sophistication leaves when someone or something sets her off.
-Rarity secludes herself when she is upset. Almost to the point of not allowing her friends to help her.

Samples
First Person Sample:
[The feed flickers before a very distressed and disheveled human Rarity shows up on the screen, still a bit unsure of how to work the device, but her so-called mother had given her a bit of an idea. She looks very upset and is struggling to keep herself settled. Not to mention she has a good few scratch marks on her face.]
Would someone, anyone please tell me what is going on? I cannot seem to grasp the reality of this uncanny situation. I do not know where I am, what I am doing here, or… even who I am anymore!
[She looks off to the side, the screen shifts to the floor and her feet as she takes a few steps. And then it shifts back to her face again.]
This… this… cat THING had been attacking me! Just look at me! I used to be a beautiful unicorn! And now I … I am human and wearing an outfit that I would not even subject my worst enemy to! I feel so helpless and pathetic! This is the worst possible thing EVER!
[She stops and dramatically looks away from the screen, biting her lower lip to suppress an oncoming sob. The feed ends a moment or two later.]
Third Person Sample:
The morning sun spilled into the small bedroom from the window, making it’s slow trek across the floor until it reached the bed and the sleeping person within it. Rarity’s brow furrowed in agitation and she began to stir, releasing a soft groan as her eyes began to flutter open. She had been planning on sleeping a bit later that morning in particular, for the day before had been absolutely marvelous, but also very long and tiring. She and her friends had defeated Discord and Princess Celestia had organized a ceremony honoring them and their feat.
So was sleeping in for another hour or two really too much to ask for? Perhaps so.
Before her eyes could adjust and she became completely aware of her surroundings, she felt a paw gently brush against her nose. She wrinkled her nose and blinked a couple of times, expecting to see Opalescence, but what she saw was much different.
“Eeeeeeek!” she shreiked, her eyes snapping wide open. The cat creature that sat atop her chest’s eyes did the same. It tilted its head and didn’t even have time to react when Rarity suddenly flung the covers off, along with the cat creature who crashed unceremoniously into the wall. Rarity scooted as far to the edge as possible, trying to put some distance between herself and that… whatever it was!
What in Equestria was that thing?! A cat, yes, but she had never seen a cat quite like that before! Oh, oh, oh! And-“Aaagh!” she fell out of bed and onto the floor, but miscalculated how far she had scooted away.
What a morning. What else could possibly happen? She had to figure out what that creature was, but first she had to get up and make sure she hadn’t killed it in her panic. Not to mention the floor was so freezing and she herself just felt so… bare and cold! As she moved to get up, she couldn’t help but feel a bit strange. Her hooves didn’t clop when she placed them against the floor…
Wait a minute…W-were those hands?! Were those her hands?!
Rarity’s scream echoed throughout the entire house and it was enough to make her own ears start ringing. She felt herself begin to hyperventilate as she scrambled to her feet only to lose her balance and fall against the bed again.
“WHAT. IS. GOING. ON?!” she shrieked, looking at her shaking hands in shock, tears forming in the corners of her widened eyes. And then she looked up around the room; what a terribly ordinary and boring color scheme! This was most certainly not her room! Which meant that she wasn’t in the Carousel Boutique. Which meant… Oh Celestia… Had she been kidnapped?! She knew that it was bound to happen one day! OH CRUEL WORLD! Kidnapped and turned into a… a… HUMAN?
Rarity suddenly gasped for air as she seemed to have stopped breathing during her distressed thought process and then proceeded to lower her head into her waiting hoov--… no…hands, trying to regulate her breathing and calm herself down.
“Mnnnyaaaah?” came a sound from behind her, followed by the feeling of something walking up beside her on the bed. Then she felt a paw against her side. T-that creature? It was touching her coat-no… her… human flesh? OOOOOH THE HORROR! SHE WAS UNICORN, NOT A HUMAN! She jumped up to her feet and whirled around to look down at the slightly disoriented animal sitting on her bed.
“W-what are YOU?!” she shouted. And the poor creature, having had quite enough after having been thrown against a wall was not about to take being yelled at and decided that this woman was the enemy. Out came the claws and without warning, it pounced and began furiously scratching at her.
“AGGGGH! HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME! I AM BEING ATTACKED! IT’S GOING TO RUIN MY BEAUTIFUL MANE!” Rarity screamed, desperately trying to pull the creature off of her, but to no avail. She flailed and stumbled and finally fell back onto the ground before the cat creature finally decided that it had taught her a lesson. It gave her an indignant look before wandering away to the other side of the room.
Rarity lay bewildered on the cold floor, the corner of one of her eyes twitching. A few moments later she heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
And thus started the beginning of a brand new adventure…
