[b]Name:[/b] Rarity
[b]Nicknames/Titles:[/b] Element of Generosity
[b]Age:[/b] Mid 20s - 30s (speculative)
[b]Gender:[/b] Mare - Unicorn
[b]Affiliation:[/b] Heroine

[b]Personality:[/b] 
A dedicated and diligent clothing designer by-trade, Rarity's career and interactions with her friends and clientele betray a genteel, generous spirit. Despite coming from working-class stock, Rarity maintains very strict standards in both her ethics and the way she carries herself. In her, there are only a few who could find a friend ready to lend a hoof.

At her worst, however, Rarity is prone to histrionic outbursts when things go wrong, gets caught up on insignificant details to an OCD-like degree, she regularly allows her vanity to get the better of her, and her imagination while 'in her element' has an occasional tendency to run away from her. The latter usually results in crimes of fashion (or ANY art at all!) so bizarre that it's likely any other mare in her position would have been incarcerated in the name of good public order. 

And whatever you do: DON'T deliberately muss her mane or - Celestia forbid! - dirty her coat! Not even the Doom Slayer could save you from Rarity's wrath when her appearance has been [i]'violated'[/i]!

[b]Biography:[/b] 
An Equestrian unicorn born within the rural town of Ponyville, Rarity's dedication to her trade had seen her gain significant success; within a turn of a decade, her Ponyville establishment (Carousel Boutique) has not only become an Equestrian byword in trend, but she had also opened a branch in Canterlot, Equestria's capital (Canterlot Carousel) and runs a third distribution store in Equestria's modern trade city New Manehatten (Rarity for You).

A considerable part of her astonishing success can be attributed to her close circle. Dubbed the Mane Six and headed by royal protege Twilight Sparkle, this sextet of ponies have saved their homeland from calamity on multiple occasions, growing their characters and maturing much about themselves in the process. Rarity has her faults and vices; she can't say, however, that she'd be the same pony she was without her friends to help her back up.

[b]Powers/Skills: [/b]
Fashionista Extraordinaire
A career boutique salesmare, designer and seamstress all rolled in one, Rarity is more then capable of turning - to use a human turn of phrase - 'a sow's ear into a silk purse'. Unfortunately for her, aside from the obvious fact that her new-found 'position' on the Paradox Engine would require her to adapt to a predominantly human anatomy, any tailoring she does would require everything from material and machinery, all the way down to thimbles and needles. All which she has a notable dearth of.

Gem-Finding
An innate 'sixth sense' allows Rarity to track down valuable crystals, minerals and gems. Vital for some of her more flamboyant projects (and possibly an interesting side revenue-generator), this capability has been exploited at least once by the unscrupulous.

Magic - Telekinesis
A basic magical capability found in unicorns or Equestria's magically-inclined, Rarity can effortlessly levitate and manipulate most objects (and the odd person) with little thought. Given her demanding line of work and as a member of the Mane Six, this has proven invaluable, even if not unique.

Magic - Defence/Attack
The ability to project an energy shield around the summoner, or to 'fire' non-lethal or lethal energy against a foe. While rarely utilised, more trying times for her homeland had seen Rarity wield her magics in defence of her friends, monarch and nation on several occasions.

Close Combat
While averse to dirt and frequently seeking out diplomatic options, it would be considered ill-advised to mistake Rarity's genteel restraint for weakness. Endanger her or her friends and a well-struck hoof could shatter an unprotected human's jaw or break bone.

Amatuer Sleuth
A side gig she undertook when a friend got implicated in fraud, Rarity undertook a brief 'career' as 'Detective Rarity' while trying to clear her friend's name. While successful in the investigation, her detective abilities are shallow; these draw from a sharp eye for detail, intimate knowledge about her associates and a great deal of pony charm and luck. Poirot, Holmes or a forensic scientist she is not.
