#rarity the unicorn

[greygalactic]

Rarity, goddess of compassion, charity, and fortune. Brings forth change to help ensure a sense of balance, provides life and light to those in need. Be warned, however, if you allow greed to fester- the earth will split open and swallow you whole.

Ok, it's been a quite a while since I've done one of these, so buckle up. I've got a big one for you to today:

Izzy Moonbow's sparkle sense.

Now, my opinion on G5 as a whole is... not great. The generation had a whole lotta interesting ideas that were either executed poorly or never really explored.

In the case of Izzy's talent for seeing sparkle, after the movie, it's mentioned very little and rarely with any real story or character intent. (Not saying all traits of a character must do this. Some can be charming and lovable without having much of a point. This isn't one of those cases.)

-but I like stories, and I like Izzy, so let me cook for a sec.

The first time Izzy ever mentioned "Sparkle" was with Sunny on their way to Zephyr Heights.

"You know, your Sparkle? Yours is... lavender."

Two things:

One, the more obvious point: Sparkle might be alluding to Twilight Sparkle, the literal pony embodiment of magic.

Two, Izzy notes that Sunny's Sparkle is a specific color, meaning that, whatever she's seeing isn't just a sparkly something... it's a COLORFUL sparkly something.

Now, let's rewind back to G4 for a bit.

What's sparkly, colorful, and magically comes from ponies?

That's right. Their magical Aura.

Izzy can see the literal magical aura of other ponies, regardless of their race. (As opposed to G4, where it was only clear what color unicorns and Alicorns magical aura was because.... well, yeah.)

This could've been EXTREMELY interesting.

How, you may ask?

Allow me to demonstrate.

In G4, the color of a pony's Aura usually followed a rule: It had to match either their eyes or their cuite mark.

Twilight's aura was hot pink/fushia, which matched her cutie mark.

Rarity's aura was a crystal blue, which matched both her eyes AND her cutie mark.

Other examples include, but are not limited to:

Sweetie Belle - light green = her eyes

Celestia - sulight yellow = her cutie mark

Shining Armor - hot pink/fushia - his cutie mark

Lyra Heartstrings - golden yellow = her eyes + cutie mark

Starlight Glimmer - cyan = cutie mark

-and so on, and so forth.

Now, going back to Izzy, she told Sunny her Sparkle was the color lavender.

Notice how that doesn't really seem to follow the rule.

However, doesnt that specific color remind you of anypony?

Sunny's magic being the color of Twilight Sparkle had SO many implications.

Was she physically related to Twilight Sparkle in some way?

Was the color just a neat little hint that Sunny was basically the next in line to fill Twilight's shoes?

Plot concepts, people. Plot concepts!

Having a pony who can see the magic emanating off of other ponies is tremendous for telling us things about other characters and their possible role in the story.

-AND G5 DID NOTHING WITH THIS.

Decided I didn't go ham enough with Rarity's design, still think I could go harder.

[mylittlefusions]

May I please see a fusion of Sweetie Belle and Rarity? No extra limbs/eyes, though.

Okay!

Rarity the Abyssinian

So onto Rarity. This different species idea was mainly going to be picking the species that they were connected with or had a closer relationship with than the other mane 6, but I also wanted to choose a species that were stereotyped a certain way that it would seem even MORE unlikely that the mane 6 would be believed they were their elements. So I wanted to make Rarity a dragon, since Dragons are known and are actively shown to be greedy (before being reformed under Dragon Lord Ember), that it would mean much more for the Element of Generosity to come from. and of course she loves Gems, and dragons would be perplexed she uses them for clothing instead of eating them.

But yeah I decided against that in favor for an Abyssinian since she has Opal and she helped Capper and seemed to take a liking to him. And when looking at Abyssinian ref from the comic, there she was

This is Shadow and tbh I haven’t read the comics in a hot minute so lemme see *intense googling and fan wiki-ing*

OH WOAH she is one of 5 of Capper’s childhood friends in the comics!! That’s so cool! And apparently she is the Abyssinian Element of Magic!

Ok yeah so OBVIOUSLY, her design is giving Rarity, especially her chest fluff with diamonds on it. It reminds me of the old way rich fancy women would wear fur minks or some type of fur around their neck and I think that fits Rarity’s inspiration to a tee! But I think I’ll keep her coat fluffy and white, just like Opals. I honestly love this version of her more than the dragon I would’ve made cause a cat really fits Rarity’s personality: dramatic, aloof, “lady like” but will go absolutely crazy on you if necessary

Rarity for the ask meme please

I'll go with G3 Rarity for convenience if that's alright

Sexuality Headcanon: panromantic

Gender Headcanon: cis she/her

A ship I have with said character: none

A BROTP I have with said character: Rarity & Sweetie Belle (best friends and penpals), Rarity, Brights Brightly & Whistle Wishes (these two being her aunts of sorts) and Rarity & Cheerilee (daughter and mom)

A NOTP I have with said character: I haven't seen many ships with her in the fandom, and from the ones I've seen I don't dislike any :'3

A random headcanon: If there are any papers she has to write, being a princess and all, Rarity writes them in colorful crayons - the hoofwriting itself is very neat though!

General Opinion over said character: She's a really fun character with a good design and interesting lore!
