Rarity lives in Ponyville where she works as a fashion designer. She has a younger sister named Sweetie Belle, who lives with their parents. The two don't always get along, but Rarity cares deeply for her sister. Though Rarity is devoted to fashion and can sometimes be overdramatic, she is very generous and is always willing to help a friend. As a unicorn, she is capable of using magic to reveal hidden caches of gems which she gathers to use in her designs. She gained this ability spontaneously as a filly, which would lead to Rarity discovering her cutie mark. She represents the Element of Generosity.
Rarity is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain. She is sung by Kazumi Evans.
