Rarity (G4)/Synopsis

The synopsis of Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
===Past===
During a period of time in her childhood, Rarity was put in charge of making costumes during a school play. Despite some praise, she decided it wasn’t good enough and desperately tried to make a costume that can satisfy her. She began to lose hope after multiple attempts.
As she wondered if her dreams of being a fashion designer are ruined, her horn begins to glow and drag her into a desolate rocky area before stopping by a big rock. While confused at first as to why she was led to this place, Rainbow Dash’s sonic rainboom created a powerful shockwave which split open the rock, revealing it to be filled with gems.
With that, she was able to use the gems in the designs and create dresses she was satisfied with. Combined with her gem tracking abilities, she was able to earn her cutie mark.
===My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic===
====Season 1====
=====Friendship is Magic=====
Rarity’s first appearance comes after Twilight Sparkle and Spike’s encounter with Rainbow Dash, resulting in the former’s mane being puffed up. In a decorated town hall, the white unicorn greets the two visitors who were simply there to check on her progress.
Somehow, nobody was aware of Spike’s obvious crush on Rarity with the white unicorn only focusing on getting Twilight to the Carousel Boutique to get her mane fixed. During this time, the purple unicorn blurts out her origin, that being from Canterlot, earning Rarity’s interest. Before she could anything about it, the two visitors quickly sneak away from her place.
At the celebration, Rarity was present to witness the return of Nightmare Moon.
Rarity along with the rest of the Mane Six arrived at Golden Oak library to learn about the method to defeat this new threat. It came in the form of magical items sealed away in a faraway place known as the "Elements of Harmony". With that, she joined the rest of the group in their journey to retrieve these items, unaware that Nightmare Moon had been listening in on their conversation.
Among the threats the group had to brave through, Rarity got her time to shine when they encounter a sea serpent who is in a terrible mood due to his mustache getting ripped off by heavy weather. Being unwilling to see him in this horrible state, the white unicorn gives away a portion of her tail to him. As a sign of gratitude, the sea serpent helps the Mane Six cross a river they had encountered.
After surviving the many threats before them, the Mane Six eventually arrived at where the elements were contained, only to immediately be attacked by Nightmare Moon, resulting in the destruction of the elements. Luckily, Twilight soon realized the true nature of the elements and how each of her friends represents a piece of them, allowing for the recovery of the elements which were turned into necklaces.
This was followed by the rest of the Mane Six floating over the evil alicorn and blasting her with a rainbow colored beam, reverting her to her less evil form, Princess Luna. After hearing Princess Celestia's explanation on her relations to her sister, the rest of the group went back to celebrate Luna's return.
=====The Ticket Master=====
Rarity was notified of Twilight's gala ticket, approaching her alongside Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Her reasoning involved wanting to fall in love with a nephew of Princess Celestia who’s also attending the gala. In an attempt to bribe the purple unicorn, she invited Twilight and Spike to the Carousel Boutique for free makeovers. The purple unicorn soon realizes this was an attempt at bribery and warns the white unicorn that she’ll have to wait.
At the end of the day, Twilight eventually managed to get a few extra tickets, allowing for the rest of the Mane Six to be invited to the gala. This will be important later at the final episode of the season.
=====Applebuck Season=====
Oddly enough, Rarity wasn’t there during Applejack's appreciation ceremony. Despite this, she was there at the ending when the orange pony finally breaks down and asks for help.
=====Boast Busters=====
Among the Ponyville residents who are unsure of Trixie Lulamoon's boasting, Rarity and Applejack were particularly critical of it. This is where the blue unicorn revealed that she managed to "fight" off Ursa Major and "win". During the challenge, the white unicorn decides to make an elaborate dress out of some curtains after getting insulted. For some reason, Trixie’s response to this is transmute Rarity’s mane into a disgusting pile of goo.
Later down the line, Trixie's statement is revealed to be a lie and after failing to fight off the monster, she is humiliated and banished from Ponyville.
=====Dragonshy=====
Fluttershy rushed to town after seeing a cloud of smoke which she believed to be a fire. Unfortunately due to her soft voice and meek attitude, she failed to get anyone's attention, until Twilight intervenes. The Mane Six were later warned that the smoke is caused by a dragon which they need to deal with. After some preparation, the team went off to find the dragon which the yellow pegasus is particularly afraid of, paralyzing her temporarily and causing her to be extremely jumpy throughout the journey even with Pinkie Pie's encouraging songs.
Thankfully, the Mane Six eventually arrived at the cave the dragon was at though Fluttershy had to stay behind out of fear. With the dragon in sight, the ponies try and figure out a way to get it to leave with Rarity attempting to seduce the dragon though unfortunately, she ended up touching one of the nearby gems, earning its anger and forcing her to flee. Rainbow Dash's attempt however enraged the dragon and in its rampage, it broke the yellow pegasus' hiding spot.
Seeing her friends in danger, she manages to steel her will and approach the dragon. She was able to frighten the dragon with her tone, getting him to listen. With some stern talking and reasoning, she convinced the dragon to leave, earning her the praise of her friends. Despite this act of courage, she has not completely learned her lesson and ended up freezing up due to a leaf landing on her back.
=====Look Before you Sleep=====
During a planned downpour, trees need to be pruned to prepare for it. Unfortunately, Rarity’s idea of doing so involved cutting them into shapes which Applejack found to be annoying due to her preference for efficiency. The two got into an argument which lasts until the rain starts.
Luckily, Twilight decided to invite them in to take cover in the library where they can stay for the night. As Spike was away, the purple unicorn decided to use this opportunity to experience her first slumber party with a guidebook for reference. Not wanting to ruin the fun, her friends agreed to stop their arguments as they go through various activities in the guidebook.
Twilight finally notices the issue after an all-out pillow war between Rarity and Applejack, prompting her to send the two to sleep. Their continuous bickering finally frustrated the purple unicorn and as she vented her frustration, a tree ends up crashing through the building. In this situation, the white unicorn panics at the mess this creates and attempts to tidy it up.
In this stressful situation, Rarity and Applejack finally make amends and the two manage to get the tree out. In the end, they along with Twilight got to spend the rest of the slumber party without any incidents until the storm finally stopped.
=====Bridle Gossip=====
Rarity was seen hiding in Sugarcube corner along with the rest of the Mane Six minus Twilight and Spike who had just arrived. The two were briefed in on Zecora, a mysterious figure who occasionally arrives at Ponyville to run some errands though the rest of the townsfolk believes her to be an evil enchantress. Despite her imposing form, the purple unicorn figured out that she was a merely a zebra and that the rest of the town is racist.
While observing the zebra, Apple Bloom, Applejack's sister, leaves to follow her, forcing the rest of the Mane Six to follow her to her home. Upon retrieving the yellow filly, Zecora came back to her home, scaring the rest of the ponies as the zebra tries to warn them on the Poison Joke plants outside her house. Said plants had randomized biological manipulating properties and in Rarity’s case, all the hair in her body has grown to a point that she’s unable to see or move properly which prompted Spike to call her Hairity
While the Mane Six are figuring out what to do with these issues, Apple Bloom disappears again to confront Zecora and after some issues, the rest of the team arrives to find her stirring something in a pot while mentioning the yellow filly's name. After some confrontation, it is revealed that Zecora was not evil at all and that Apple Bloom is still alive and coming back.
Along with the rest of the Mane Six, Rarity is cured of her affliction.
=====Swarm of the Century=====
After discovering a parasprite, Fluttershy decides to bring it to Ponyville to show to others, unaware that it had the ability to consume large amounts of matter and perform mitosis upon eating enough. While Twilight did not recognize it, Pinkie Pie did, prompting her to leave and get a few instruments. The purple unicorn later gives these horrifying insects to her friends.
The next day, Rarity discovers how parasprites reproduce which she found to be disgusting with her friends also experiencing the capabilities of the parasprites. Shenanigans ensue, ending in the swarm flying to Ponyville and wrecking havoc.
Luckily this is all dealt with at the end of the episode.
=====Winter Wrap Up=====
Rarity was tasked with building intricate bird nests and designing vests for the rest of the personnel. Twilight decided to help her with the former though as expected, this leads to her messing up and creating poor quality nests. Later at the meeting, it is revealed that the white unicorn had issues repairing the nest the purple unicorn made, similar problems occurring for everyone else. This was thankfully solved by Twilight's organization skills, allowing for a smooth and successful Winter Wrap Up.
=====Fall Weather Friends=====
Rarity joins up the rest of her friends in their attempt to help Rainbow Dash and Applejack settle their score. In the end, the two continue to disagree until they decide to join the "Running of the Leaves" race.
=====Suited For Success=====
After finishing with her gala dress, Rarity’s friends enter her shop which is when she agreed to design them new dresses. Unfortunately after finishing them, the rest of the Mane Six pointed out several issues after being pressured. After some revisions, she finally finished dresses which her friends appreciated.
Conveniently after finishing, Spike arrives and explains that he had set up a fashion show for Rarity involving a particularly famous fashion icon. For some reason, she had no other designs on the ready and her friends ended up showing up for the fashion show in their more or less improvised dresses. As expected, this goes horribly wrong with the designs being criticized for looking the way they did.
This event broke her mentally and she refused to come out despite her friends’ insistence. That is until her cat Opal was stuck on a tree, prompting her to rush out and help her down, allowing her to talk to the rest of the Mane Six. She was able to get a look at the original designs she had made for her friends during her time outside, allowing her to regain some motivation.
Later in a second fashion show, Rarity showed off her original designs which this time, received praise, much to her relief.
=====Sonic Rainboom=====
After learning of the issues with the "Best Young Flyer" competition, Rarity offers to test out Twilight's new spell which can give any pony a pair of wings. The spell was successful and she alongside Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash later go off to Cloudsdale where the pegasi there were particularly impressed by the white unicorn’s wings and suggested that she join the "Best Young Flyer" competition. She agrees to this suggestion, much to the blue pegasus’ shock.
Out of nervousness, Rainbow Dash delays her turn until in the end, she has to perform alongside Rarity. The performance was below average up until the white unicorn's wings were burned off, sending her falling down. Witnessing her friend in danger, the blue pegasus quickly dashed in, managing to pull off the titular Sonic Rainboom in the process.
In the end, Rarity apologizes for getting carried away.
=====Stare Master=====
After Sweetie Belle causes a mess at her sister's workshop, Fluttershy arrives to drop off Opal from a grooming session. Rarity complained about her feisty cat, asking how the yellow pegasus managed to get the cat to sit still. The white unicorn later noticed that her order is damaged, forcing her to work overtime and cancel her sister's sleepover, prompting Fluttershy to step in for her despite her warnings.
Unbeknownst to Rarity, the fillies went through a harrowing adventure alongside Fluttershy during the time they were dropped off. As the white unicorn arrives to pick the 3 fillies up, she fails to get their attention. The yellow pegasus on the other hand did it with ease which impressed Rarity.
=====A Dog and Pony Show=====
While showing a gem-studded dress, a customer arrives to the Carousel Boutique and is quite impressed by said dress, ordering it and 5 other copies. In order to make more, Rarity needs to resupply on gems and invites Spike to help gather them. On their way, they are attacked by a group of creatures known as diamond dogs who managed to kidnap the white unicorn.
While Spike gathers the rest of the Mane Six to rescue her, Rarity decided to make do with the situation. She was being used to track down gems for the diamond dogs and for unknown reasons besides keeping her down in the caves, they did not have a punishment method, allowing the white unicorn to do various things such as slowing down her pace, getting the diamond dogs to do everything for her, complaining excessively, and even crying loudly which proves to be enough to incapacitate her captors.
In the end when her friends arrive, Rarity was perfectly fine.
=====Green Isn't Your Color=====
While having a spa session with Rarity, Fluttershy is reminded of the photo session she's about to do and she needs the yellow pegasus' help to be the model. She reluctantly agrees and the two soon begin preparing for the photoshoot at the boutique. Unfortunately, the photographer was unimpressed by Rarity's designs though Fluttershy's demeanor did pique her interest enough to schedule another photo session.
During the next photo session, the photographer expressed admiration for Fluttershy, finding potential in her to be a star. She wanted to back out at first though Rarity convinced her otherwise and so she carried on. Despite this, the white unicorn felt extremely jealous and was simply doing the things she did to look out for her friend. Fluttershy later arrived after experiencing the lows of stardom.
Rarity continued to encourage Fluttershy as well as invite her to another meeting at the spa. She arrived earlier and during her time waiting, she decided to vent her frustrations with Twilight while also telling her to keep it a secret, much to her dismay. Later when the yellow pegasus performs the plan she had set up to ruin her career, Rarity walks in to praise her, gaining the attention of everyone else and also saving Fluttershy’s reputation.
At the backstage, the two finally let out their secrets with Rarity explaining her jealousy for her friend's fame and Fluttershy explaining that she did not enjoy stardom and only doing it because of the encouragement of her friend, much to the relief of Twilight who had been keeping their secrets all this time and being observed by Pinkie Pie.
The two promised not to keep secrets to each other. Rarity was later present at the spa at the end of the episode which is when she learns of Spike’s crush on her.
=====The Cutie Mark Chronicles=====
After hiring the Cutie Mark Crusaders Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo as temporary assistants, Rarity decided to explain her backstory. After finishing, the orange filly decided to leave as they were growing bored of her, encountering Twilight on the way.
=====Party of One=====
Rarity was amongst the Mane Six members invited by Pinkie Pie and her pet alligator, Gummy to yet another party which she goes to this time. Later she was invited to another party though she reasons that she needs to wash her hair. The pink pony points out that it isn’t dirty, prompting her friend to dip her head into a nearby trash bin. She is seen later receiving an unspecified package from Twilight and delivering a letter to Fluttershy.
Later she joins the rest of the Mane Six in their celebration for Pinkie Pie's surprise birthday party which thankfully snapped her out of her insanity.
=====The Best Night Ever=====
Remember "Ticket Master"? Yes, this is where those tickets come into play. Rarity joins the rest of the Mane Six while waiting for someone. Fluttershy later arrives with a group of mouse in-hand which Twilight turns into, uh, horses, to pull a carriage, despite them all being horses. Anyway ignoring that strange occurrence, the ponies arrive to the castle safely, ready to enjoy the Grand Galloping Gala.
While Twilight meets up with her mentor, Rarity decides to approach the person she had arrived to the gala for, a prince by the name of Blueblood. It started out well, the white unicorn introduces herself and leads the prince to a garden. Finding a rose, Blueblood puts it on his own suit instead of giving it to Rarity.
Things continue to get worse when the couple passes by a puddle, prompting Blueblood to take Rarity’s scarf and lay it on said puddle, much to her dismay. He even refuses to open a door for the white unicorn. Eventually they pass by Applejack’s shop to order some apple fritters which leads to them arguing on who has to pay. Seeing this, the orange pony decided to just give the apple fritters for free. Unfortunately, the prince proceeded to spit it out after taking a bite, claiming it to be bad which further angers the white unicorn.
At some point, Pinkie Pie dove into a cart and launched a cake at the couple, prompting Blueblood to take cover behind Rarity. As she shook the mess off herself, the prince backed off and bumped into a statue, knocking it down and leading to further chaos.
After everything goes wrong, Rarity alongside the rest of the Mane Six flee the scene with her in particular destroying her dropped shoe to ensure there was no way for Blueblood to track her down. They met up with Spike who had been waiting outside. Eventually Princess Celestia arrived to meet all of them, explaining that the gala is usually quite bad and she had hoped that the Mane Six would liven things up which failed.
====Season 2====
=====The Return of Harmony=====
Among the chaos Discord had brewed up, Rarity had to wear a rain coat and umbrella to get through the heavy chocolate milk rain. Eventually the Mane Six were called in to meet up with Princess Celestia in order to brief them on the situation. The Lord of Chaos has awakened from his slumber and is planning to plunge Equestria into chaos and only the Mane Six can save it.
Discord was currently hanging out at a maze he had conjured, the Elements of Harmony hidden somewhere there and they need to traverse it without magic or flying. Unbeknownst to them, the Lord of Chaos had planned a clever trap to reverse the ponies' personalities in order to make it difficult for them to utilize their elements via social influencing and if it fails, hypnosis.
While Rarity was traversing the maze, she encountered a boulder with a number of “diamonds” embedded on it. Discord claiming it to be a lucky find and a beautiful object was enough to get the white unicorn to try and uncover the “diamonds”. In reality, she only revealed another boulder. This provided enough of an opportunity to Rarity into a selfish hoarder.
Under this state, she carries around the boulder everywhere she went and allowing none to touch it, much to Twilight’s confusion. Eventually the purple unicorn realizes something is wrong though it is too late as Discord had tricked Rainbow Dash into leaving with her wings, meaning that the Lord of Chaos had won.
Rarity along with the rest of the Mane Six had to deal with the aftermath of Discord's trick, annoying Twilight's every effort to solve the problem until she finally gave up and then regained her resolve. The white unicorn later was struck by the purple unicorn's memory spell, allowing her to snap out of the hypnosis and see the boulder she had been carrying around for what it is. She tells Twilight to never speak of this incident ever again.
The restored Mane Six attempt to catch a delusional Rainbow Dash who at this point, was napping. Unfortunately, she manages to flee, forcing her friends to give chase. Applejack attempts to lasso her though her rope ends up entangling Rarity and Pinkie Pie, revealing that the latter had failed to secure the rope. Thankfully upon seeing the chaos Discord has brought upon Ponyville, Fluttershy gains an increased resolve, allowing her to catch up with the blue pegasus and subdue her which in turn allowed Twilight to restore her.
The Mane Six return to confront Discord who at this point was basking in his victory. Somehow seeing the ponies with their color and no longer in discordance was not enough to make him realize that his plan had failed and he still decided to let them get the first hit. This was a mistake and he was hit by the power of the Elements of Harmony, once again petrifying him.
=====Lesson Zero=====
Rarity was found crying due to her lost ribbon during Twilight's attempts at finding a friendship problem. Before she could do anything however, the white unicorn finds the ribbon she lost. She is also there at the picnic along with the rest of the Mane Six to tell the purple unicorn that she'll be fine. Later at the ending, they arrive to speak in-defense for Twilight, having failed to realize the depth of their friend's paranoia. Luckily Princess Celestia understood and reminded them that the friendship problem letters do not need to be sent daily.
=====Sisterhooves Social=====
Rarity awakens to smoke in the kitchen as well as her parents and sister. It was another day for the parents to go on holiday and Sweetie Belle is being left behind for the moment. This did not go well and the white filly ended up annoying her sister with her antics. After learning of the Sisterhooves Social, Sweetie Belle attempts to invite Rarity to it though she refuses.
This is the final straw for Sweetie Belle and she decided to leave and instead meet up with Applejack. While cleaning up the mess her sister had made, Rarity soon realized that Sweetie Belle’s actions weren’t all bad. Regretting her actions, the white unicorn goes to apologize to her sister though she insults her in response. The orange pony decided to explain to her friend what she had been doing wrong which she acknowledges.
Later during the Sisterhooves Social, Applejack joins Sweetie Belle for the first few events until she falls into mud and is replaced by Rarity who was wearing her hat. The white filly is unaware of this and continues with the competitions until the end where she realizes that she’s been racing with her sister all this time.
In the end, the two reconcile and learn to compromise.
=====May the Best Pet Win=====
Rarity was present along with the rest of the Mane Six and their pets when Rainbow Dash arrived, having awakened from the strange dream she had experienced. The ponies explained that they had arrived to take their pets to play together once a week which strengthened the blue pegasus' resolve to get a pet, much to Fluttershy's delight.
After Rainbow Dash is briefed on her options figured that she'd need some way to measure what pet she'd want. She decided to start up a competition with various categories with the last one involving a race at the Ghastly Gorge. Rarity along with the rest of the Mane Six waited for the blue pegasus to finish, only to realize that she had been injured by a rock slide and was being carried by a tortoise which she later keeps as her pet.
=====The Mysterious Mare Do Well=====
Rarity was involved in the Mare Do Well scheme the Mane Six had concocted, being the one who made the costumes they all wore. They had been trying to teach Rainbow Dash some humility which was successful as she learns her lesson.
=====Sweet and Elite=====
Rarity arrived at Canterlot at the request of Twilight which the white unicorn greatly appreciates. She decides to start making a dress for her friend’s birthday though during that time, some ponies recognized her to be from Ponyville. At some point however, she meets up with a group of elites who invites her to a derby. Despite the time that’s be spent in this event, she still goes and manages to earn the respect of the elites by luck and lying.
Due to the respect she had earned, Rarity found herself invited to various events which caused her to not have time to finish Twilight’s dress. To make things worse, the white unicorn is invited to an event on the same day as her friend’s birthday and she decided to lie to them about not being able to attend it. This proved to be a mistake as they later arrived to Canterlot, having moved the party there so Rarity can still attend, unaware of the lies she had said.
The two events happened at close proximity, allowing Rarity to alternate between the two until she accidentally brings along an item from the elite’s event to Twilight’s party. Thankfully, they weren’t disappointed in this and simply came over, behaving in ways that are rather unflattering, earning the disdain from the rest of the partygoers.
Eventually, Rarity is unable to hide her origin and finally admits to them about being from Ponyville and being best friends with the rest of the Mane Six. While most of the elites were disgusted by this information, some didn’t mind it which allowed the white unicorn to know who to stick to. In the end, she learns to not hide her origin or her friends.
=====Secret of My Excess=====
Rarity arrived a day before Spike’s birthday, finding him gazing at a ruby he had been saving up. Given that she admired it, the baby dragon decided to give it to her, earning him a kiss in the cheek which he plans on never washing. Rarity was present along with the rest of the Mane Six during Spike's birthday party and made a number of capes for everyone present as well as giving an unknown gift to the baby dragon.
During Spike's attack, Rarity found herself kidnapped by him, causing further panic. Thankfully, she was able to change the giant dragon back into his small form with a few select words and seeing the gem he gave to the white unicorn earlier. In the end, the damages are fixed and Rarity gives Spike another kiss on the cheek for being able to control himself…
=====Hearth's Warming Eve=====
During the Hearth's Warming Eve play, Rarity plays the part of Princess Platinum, the unicorn tribe leader.
=====The Last Roundup=====
On the day Applejack was supposed to come back, she instead sends a letter to her friends who were waiting and ready to throw her a surprise party, explaining that she won't be coming back though this does not deter them. Arriving at the town the orange pony was suppose to perform at, they eventually find her at a Cherry farm, claiming that she's fine and needed a change of scenery.
They were able to get hired by the farm owner, Cherry Jubilee, allowing them time to ask questions which irritated Applejack greatly, causing a disaster at the workplace. The next day Rarity alongside the rest of the Mane Six approach the orange pony during her cherry harvest work after she had been worn down by Pinkie Pie's sad song with a deceptively happy tune obnoxious cherry puns. They were able to convince Applejack to pinkie promise to tell the truth next breakfast.
However, Applejack disappears that morning. The Mane Six discover her fleeing on a coach, forcing the other ponies to chase her down on a wagon with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy pulling. During the chase, Pinkie Pie manages to confront the orange pony and after some conversation, the pink pony jumps back, knocking her and Rarity off.
Later after Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight learn of the truth, they still cheered Applejack up as despite her failures, they would still rather have her still by their side. Which is ironic because they forgot about Pinkie Pie and Rarity who had been knocked off and are now trying to get back.
=====The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000=====
After some competition between the Apple Family and the scammers, the former decided to employ the help of the Mane Six. Rarity in particular was tasked with sorting with sorting harvested products alongside Granny Smith. With their combined efforts, they were able to boost productions 5x more than previous which had the added bonus of scaring Flim and Flam into turning off their quality control functions.
In the end, the scammer twins lost their sway on the crowd due to poor quality cider, allowing the Apple Family to continue selling their cider which at this point, was enough for the entirety of Ponyville.
=====Read it and Weep=====
During Rainbow Dash's stunt practice, Rarity and Pinkie Pie watched on before being joined by Twilight, allowing them to witness the blue pegasus crashing. They later arrived at the hospital alongside Fluttershy and Applejack. The group got to hear about the diagnosis which is that Rainbow Dash would probably be alright though she'll need to stay at the hospital for a while which is when the purple unicorn decided to give her a book, "Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone" which she will later enjoy.
Some time later, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie arrive with a nurse to check up on her. Fortunately, it's dinner time and after eating messily, Rainbow Dash got to send her friends away in order to continue reading the book. Later down the line she was awakened along with the rest of the Mane Six due to the blue pegasus’ attempt at stealing the book back. It was resolved in the end with Rainbow Dash receiving a copy of said book from Twilight.
=====Putting Your Hoof Down=====
Rarity and Pinkie Pie notice Fluttershy having issues with social interactions which makes buying supplies from the market a difficult task. The two decide to help her by showing how it's done with the white unicorn in particular charming a stall owner into selling the last bundle of asparagus currently present. Despite this, the yellow pegasus still messes it up and fails in acquiring the cherry she needed.
After Fluttershy went through Iron Will's event and gained some confidence, she decides to meet up with Rarity and Pinkie Pie who are impressed of her ability to stand up for herself. Unfortunately when the pink pony makes a joke, the yellow pegasus ended up getting offended and spilled punch all over her. While recovering from the experience, the two got to witness Fluttershy beating up someone who cut her line, much to their worry.
The two ponies later visit Fluttershy at home, finding her antagonizing various ponies. She proceeds to insult the two and send them away. Thankfully she realizes her mistake though she takes it in the wrong direction and locks herself in her home, refusing to ever get out, even when her friends stop by to visit her.
A short time later, Iron Will arrives to collect his payment, easily getting past Rarity and Pinkie Pie before breaking through Fluttershy's door. Surprisingly she greets him and refuses to pay, citing the minotaur's very own words on payment as well as how his teachings drove the yellow pegasus to hurt many around her. After some bargaining, Iron Will finally yields and keeps his word, leaving without payment.
Rarity and Pinkie Pie congratulate Fluttershy for being able to stand up to the minotaur. She decided to ditch most of her new persona, returning to her usual kind self. However she did keep some parts of her confidence and in the end, she was able to refuse Angel's demands.
=====Dragon Quest=====
News of the Great Dragon Migration is spread, prompting the Mane Six to come over to observe, well... Except Flutteshy. Rarity arrived late with a fancy entrance and attire compared to her friends’ camouflage clothing. During the observation, Spike gives his friends some snacks though Rainbow Dash points out that he is a dragon, causing him insecurities.
The next day, Spike meets up with Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight for breakfast before explaining his plan to go to the dragon lands for a self-discovery journey. Concerned for his safety, the ponies later follow him to the dragon lands in a disguise, somehow slipping past some dragons who are insulting the baby dragon for being around ponies...
After a variety of challenges, Spike finally succeeds the last one and acquires a phoenix egg which he refuses to smash, earning mockery from the dragons. The ponies finally take off their disguise and manage to get the baby dragon out of the situation. In the end, Spike realizes that he was always loved.
=====Ponyville Confidential=====
After the Cutie Mark Crusaders’ first successful story, Rarity came across one of the papers which she decided to read. Finding it entertaining, she asks her sister if she can show it to other ponies, prompting Sweetie Belle to tell the rest of her friends to expand their reach in terms of story…
Rarity was present along with the rest of the Mane Six when Rainbow Dash came in to inform them about the existence of the Foal Free Press, leading to a conversation amongst themselves. The next day they got to see the true horrors of public slander with the white unicorn finding her diary entries leaked publicly among other gossips.
Realizing what had happened, Rarity confronted Sweetie Belle on what she had done, explaining how dangerous gossip can be. This is what allowed the Cutie Mark Crusaders to realize their wrongdoings and attempt to apologize to everyone.
After their apology stunt, they were able to absolve themselves of the hurt they've inflicted on many and their victims were able to forgive them later.
=====MMMYstery on the Friendship Express=====
With Twilight’s help on the safeguarding spell, Rarity and Applejack’s trampoline is rendered unnecessary during the transport of the giant well-decorated cake Pinkie Pie nicknamed the MMMM (Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness). After some tense moments, the cake was safely secured onto the train for transport, as is the other desserts from the other contestants.
The next day, it is revealed that some of the desserts have been partially eaten despite Pinkie Pie's attempts to guard them. After her convoluted attempt at trying to figure out who committed the crime, Twilight steps in and shows several clues on the culprit or in this case, culprits. Rarity in particular was revealed to be the third culprit who bumped into a painting during her escape. She along with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash apologize for what they've done.
Later on, Pinkie Pie manages to deal with the issue, allowing all the contestants to win the competition.
=====A Canterlot Wedding=====
Rarity was present along with the rest of the Mane Six when Twilight arrived to bring news about the invitation she had received from Princess Celestia, explaining the need for some help on a wedding. The white unicorn in particular was tasked with designing some dresses. This is also when the Mane Six learns of the existence of Twilights brother, Shining Armor who is the groom.
After taking a train, the Mane Six arrive at Canterlot, finding security in the place already increased. Twilight ends up meeting her brother and begins to grow suspicious of Princess Cadance while her friends continue with their tasks with Rarity in particular being given extra tasks on replacing the dresses of the bridesmaids despite them having no problem with it. At the end of the day, the friends gather together to listen to the purple unicorn’s "paranoia" which unbeknownst to them, was completely justified.
Twilight's attempts to warn everyone went horribly wrong and was witnessed by everyone, resulting in her being kicked out. Little did they knew...
After Twilight finds the real Princess Cadence imprisoned in a cave underneath, the two manage to escape from their prison and expose the impostor for who she is, a changeling, still in front of everyone that is. However this discovery was much worse as the impostor wasn't merely a changeling but their leader, Queen Chrysalis.
After explaining what she had done as well as her motives, Queen Chrysalis begins her assault, her changeling army already bypassing the castle guards. The whole crowd witnesses Princess Celestia's defeat in the hands of the queen, an feat that will become rather commonplace throughout the series. The sun alicorn begged for the Mane Six to retrieve the Elements of Harmony though they were soon stopped by the changeling army.
In a desperate attempt, Twilight convinces Cadence to try and break the spell on Shining Armor which she manages to do. With the power of love, the two managed to cast a powerful spell that blasts every changeling out of the castle. In the end, the wedding goes off without a hitch and a joyful party ensues.
====Season 3====
=====The Crystal Empire=====
Twilight meets up with the rest of her friends on the train, leading them to The Crystal Empire where they meet Shining Armor once again in the raging blizzard. The group was soon attacked by clouds of black smoke controlled by the evil tyrant, King Sombra. Thankfully they managed to arrive at the city, avoiding the clouds mostly unharmed.
After traversing the city, the group meet up with Princess Cadence again, now extremely exhausted from keeping up the barrier which protects the city. After some discussions, the Mane Six decided to look into the occurrence happening in the city and its denizens, the crystal ponies. Rarity’s intrigue at their appearance disturbed them greatly and she did not get anything from them.
They had all faced similar results with all the ponies they talked to unable to give any valuable information. Visiting the library, Twilight was able to find a book on the history of the Crystal Empire, learning about a faire which served to restore the spirit of love and unity in the empire. After some discussions, the Mane Six are tasked with setting up said faire in hopes of restoring the memories of the crystal ponies.
After some nerve-wracking moments, the Mane Six agree to begin preparations for the faire with Twilight and Spike going off to find the Crystal Heart which is a pivotal part of the faire. Rarity and Pinkie Pie ended up working in the background while their friends worked on the faire.
While Twilight and Spike are struggling to reach the Crystal Heart, her friends were keeping up the show with a variety of shows and distractions. Unfortunately, their efforts are for naught as despite their attempts, King Sombra manages to breech through the barrier, his powers affecting the city.
Unfortunately, their efforts are for naught as despite their attempts, King Sombra manages to breech through the barrier, his powers affecting the city. At this point however, Twilight and Spike had managed to acquire the Crystal Heart and after some close encounters, the latter manages to get it to Princess Cadence. With its power and presence, she was able to restore the crystal ponies to their healthier form, allowing them to banish King Sombra once again and restore the city to its pristine form.
=====Magic Duel=====
Twilight and Fluttershy arrive to Ponyville after a warning of Rainbow Dash about the return of Trixie. After a vicious duel, the blue unicorn manages to beat the purple unicorn and banish her from Ponyville until the next duel. Until then, she will rule over the town with an iron fist. Among the decisions she did, Rarity was forced to sew various clothing for Trixie, getting poked by a needle when she complains.
During break time, the Mane Six and Spike attempt to find anything useful in Twilight's library. Fluttershy in particular managed to find a book on the amulet Trixie was wearing, an artifact of great power known as the Alicorn Amulet. In order to bring the information to Twilight, the yellow pegasus was sent to get outside Ponyville and find her.
Fluttershy succeeds in her endeavors and later meets up with Twilight and Zecora, the former figuring out a way to beat Trixie and some time later, returns to Ponyville to challenge her. The purple unicorn managed to goad her opponent with an amulet of her own, allowing the duel to commence. After some amazing tricks and feats of magic, Trixie was left dumbfounded by the power of this new amulet, prompting her to snatch it and take off the Alicorn Amulet.
It was all a ruse however and said amulet was powerless all along, unable to even drag Rainbow Dash down after she managed to snag the Alicorn Amulet from Trixie's hooves. During the trick in which Rarity is turned into a filly, it’s revealed that it’s just a painted Sweetie Belle. With that issue finished, the Ponyville residents can now safely welcome Princess Celestia's arrival.
=====Sleepless in Ponyville=====
Sweetie Belle managed to convince Rarity to join camping, arriving alongside the rest of the campers later. They spent the night listening to Rainbow Dash’s scary stories which was scaring Scootaloo in particular though she refuses to show it. These events repeat several times until the two make amends.
The group eventually arrive to Winsome Falls where they share a bonding moment and spend the day together until nightfall when Scootaloo finally stops having nightmares, much to Princess Luna's delight.
=====Wonderbolts Academy=====
The Mane Six were gathered up while waiting for Rainbow Dash's acceptance letter to be delivered with Pinkie Pie in particular seemingly a lot more nervous than usual. Eventually, said letter does arrive which the blue pegasus checks, finding herself accepted. After saying goodbyes, she quickly rushed to the academy where she'll be staying for a week.
After 3 days, the group found that Rainbow Dash has yet to send a letter back which begins to worry them. They decide that they can try to directly send a care package to the academy via air balloon. Unfortunately on arrival, a tornado was running loose in the scene which caused the balloon to be snapped. The blue pegasus manages to save them with some quick thinking and help from the other cadets.
=====Spike at Your Service=====
Among the attempts to try and break Spike's pledge to Applejack, Rarity didn’t particularly understand the issue until the baby dragon makes a mess of her kitchen. Unfortunately, she has no other advice for this issue.
=====Keep Calm and Flutter On=====
Spike and the Mane Six minus Applejack and Fluttershy are meeting up with Princess Celestia who is planning on releasing and reforming Discord. As expected, everyone there has issues with this idea though the sun alicorn has fate in this plan and knows that the draconequus may be useful as an ally rather than an enemy. Rainbow Dash later leaves to pick up the orange pony and yellow pegasus, the latter having an important part in this endeavor.
After some security measures, the Mane Six use their elements to reverse Discord's petrification, allowing him to break free... and taunt them. He does not seem to appreciate this gesture and intends on wrecking havoc once he figures out a way to free himself. Despite this, he was still brought to Fluttershy's cottage where he ends up crashing in and causing property damage.
Despite only a short amount of time passing, Fluttershy is confident in Discord's reformation and decides to invite the rest of the Mane Six to dinner with him. Although they have their suspicions, the Mane Six arrive later that night to find the cottage well-decorated and no longer spinning while the draconequus was wearing a waiter's outfit.
As expected however, chaos ensues and while the other ponies expressed their disdain for Discord, Fluttershy insists on not abandoning him which made him pause for a bit. Still, his plan had already gone underway which Angel reported on arrival. One of the beavers the draconequus had mutated managed to direct water to Sweet Apple Acres, causing a massive flood.
Fluttershy still tries to convince Discord to fix this, resulting in him freezing all the water. Tired of all the abuse, she finally snaps which allows the draconequus to realize his mistake and proceeds to fix the damages he caused. In the end, Discord is visited by Princess Celestia who was quite impressed by the yellow pegasus’ feat with the draconequus claiming that he'll likely use his powers for good most of the time... a statement which he will contradict repeatedly later down the line.
=====Just for Sidekicks/Games Ponies Plays=====
After Spike decides to run a temporary critter-sitter service to get some gems, he meets up with Rarity and Rainbow Dash with both of them agreeing to leave their pets with him. Some time later, the Mane Six arrive to leave behind their pets with him at Twilight's home. Rarity in particular gave Opal a coat as she somehow found the house to be too cold. With that, she leaves along her friends.
The Mane Six arrive at the Crystal Empire, now pristine and free of evil crystals. They had arrived to deal with the inspector for the Equestria Games who is well-known for being extremely strict and that they need to be at their best in order to impress her so that the Crystal Empire can be the host for the games. Upon arriving, they are greeted by Princess Cadence who invites them to a spa.
Princess Cadence warns that the inspector, a pony named "Ms. Harshwhinny", will arrive at 15 minutes. While the rest of the Mane Six go to the station to greet her, Rarity stays behind to style the pink alicorn’s mane. She receives a giant list of instructions in order to do so which after an attempt, she messes it up. Twilight checks up on her after some time, finding her very busy fixing her previous mistakes.
After the rest of the Mane Six learn that they’ve picked up the wrong pony and attempt to find the inspector, they return to the spa. There, Rarity had already finished her job... and the inspector is also there. She began complaining about the lack of a welcome though she changed her mind upon hearing Ms. Peachbottom's experience. With that, the Crystal Empire is nominated for this year's Equestria Games!
=====Magical Mystery Cure=====
Among the chaos stirred by Twilight's cutie mark switching spell, Rarity ends up with Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark and had just directed a raincloud above the purple unicorn among many other mistakes. Her cutie mark is currently on Applejack who is at the Carousel Boutique trying to make dresses. Despite being unhappy, the ponies still continue to do these activities as it is their "destiny".
Eventually Twilight comes to an epiphany, she can try to remind her friends of what they meant to each other and in the process, remind them of themselves. After dealing with Rainbow Dash, she later helps out Rarity with cloud busting and realizes that this was her purpose. Her cutie mark returns to normal just like previous attempts and the purple unicorn continues her work.
Rarity was later led to the Carousel Boutique, finding many of Applejack’s failed attempts at making any garments. After making a dress on her own, she soon realizes that this is her purpose, allowing her to regain her previous cutie mark. Twilight proceeded to repeat this process until all of her friends are back to normal. Once finished, the purple unicorn realized that she can complete the spell that caused the cutie mark switching.
After reciting the spell, she ended up disappearing for a few seconds before coming back, now as an alicorn...
Celebration time
====My Little Pony: Equestria Girls====
With that celebration over, the Mane Six and Spike arrive at the Crystal Empire to attend a princess summit. During break time, they try to comfort Twilight who was beginning to get nervous of her new alicorn status. Later that night, an amber unicorn sneaks into her bedroom and steals her crown and despite all attempts to stop her, she manages to escape.
Later that day, Princess Celestia explained the identity of this unicorn, one going by the name of Sunset Shimmer as well as the nature of the realm she had went to. The rest of the Mane Six were not allowed to join Twilight and Spike to this realm and so they stayed behind, unaware of the horrors she will face... Well, most of them would be unaware.
While the Rarity in this article never appears in the movie, her human counterpart does play an important role, as do the rest of the Mane Six human counterparts. After a long journey filled with hardships, humiliation, found friendship, and tense moments, Twilight and Spike return to Equestria, already in possession of the crown. With that, her friends cheer her and the story continues.
====Season 4====
=====Princess Twilight Sparkle=====
With all the free time that they have, the Mane Six cheer for Twilight as she learns how to fly with her new wings, Rainbow Dash being the one to help her out. Despite this she ends up crashing repeatedly until finally, she decides to just go indoors to view the stain glass window Princess Celestia had commissioned to commemorate Twilight's ascension.
While observing the glass pane, Twilight laments that her friends won't be there for the Summer Sun Celebration as they had been called in by the mayor to help out with Ponyville's own celebration. Applejack steps in to remind her that they'll always be united by the Elements of Harmony, said statement giving her comfort for the time being. With that, the rest of the Mane Six leave Twilight and Spike behind at Canterlot in order to board a train back to Ponyville.
Unbeknownst to them, a horrible predicament is occurring in Canterlot, followed by the Everfree Forest's invasion of Ponyville. Rarity in particular had to deal with the magical capabilities of some invading vines, causing shenanigans for everyone in her house. All her friends are also experiencing issues with this invasion with Twilight eventually coming over to make sure everything is alright.
After some explanations, the Mane Six receive their elements before summoning Discord to make sure that he wasn't responsible for this. The draconequus claims that he is innocent in this with only Fluttershy believing his statements. Just then, Zecora arrives from Everfree Forest after needing to evacuate though she had managed to save a few artifacts, one of which is a potion with dubious effects which Twilight drinks, allowing her to find out what is happening to the missing princesses.
After a harrowing look into the past brought upon by the potion she drank, Twilight eventually snapped out of it, having been mumbling throughout the whole vision. Unsure of what to do, Zecora suggested that she take another look into the past. Another harrowing vision later, she finds Princess Celestia and Luna explaining the details of the Tree of Harmony, the thing keeping the Everfree Forest at bay. With that in-mind, the purple alicorn leads her friends into the forest to check.
However, the forest always has a surprise ready for them and in this case, it comes in the form of a giant crocodile with rock-like skin. Twilight's friends managed to save her before deciding that at this point, they can't risk losing another princess and so they agree to send her back despite her protests. Now missing one of their members, they still continue their journey, eventually finding the fabled Tree of Harmony, currently constricted by the black vines that were everywhere though they fail to dispatch of them.
During this conundrum, they notice Twilight nearby in which they proceed to take her back in, having gotten lost without her presence. The purple alicorn figured out during her visions that the Tree of Harmony requires the elements and with some convincing, the Mane Six agrees to give their elements away despite the risks, their friendship being the thing that keeps them together.
This decision proved to be the right one as the vines retracted from the magic, followed by Celestia and Luna returning. A small chest with 6 locks appeared in the middle, its use currently unknown. The group returned to find Discord still there. As he ponders on the possible actions he can commit now that the elements are gone, Fluttershy quickly snaps him out of it.
After hearing about how this problem all began, that being Discord planting plunderseeds at the Tree of Harmony, he reasons that he had thought the Mane Six an important lesson and thankfully, gets away with it. They all later arrive at the Summer Sun celebration where Twilight finally gets to use her wings properly, earning the cheers of the crowd.
=====Castle Mane-ia=====
Fluttershy and Angel had been dragged along by Rarity to the old castle, the latter wanting to find some old tapestries she could possibly recover or draw inspiration from. The yellow pegasus had warned her companions of the dangers of the castle though they still chose to go in. On their way, they end up finding a tapestry depicting Princess Luna though touching it activates a mechanism that rotates the wall it is attached to, sending Fluttershy to another side of the wall while still being draped in the tapestry.
Once the coast was clear, Rarity and Angel help Fluttershy out, finding one of her wings sprained. After failing to take the tapestry off, they decide to try and find a different one. Despite now knowing the existence of traps in the castle, they managed to fall for one when Angel steps on a pressure plate, resulting in the two ponies ending up in a pit.
The pit they had been trapped in had a hole big enough to stuff a leg through. Rarity's first attempt at trying to search around lead to her scaring Rainbow Dash and Applejack once again. Fluttershy however was much more successful, managing to pull down a torch which allowed the two to be sent out of the pit.
As Rarity and Fluttershy continue their search, they eventually find a room with a number of sun and moon themed tapestries though a trap ended up triggering in the vicinity, taking the white unicorn through a nearby throne. As the screams of the ponies who had entered the place continue to echo, Twilight eventually snaps out of her studying to check out what's happening. There she finds her friends minus Pinkie Pie all huddled up together in fear. Checking the pony who had playing the organ which triggers the traps, she finds it to be the pink pony herself.
In the end, Twilight suggests that the ponies make a collective journal in order to compile their friendship lessons before leading them out of the castle. Unbeknownst to them, a dark figure with yellow eyes observes them from the shadows. This will be important later
=====Daring Don't=====
After recovering from a recent accident, Rainbow Dash arrived at the library to find her friends enjoying a random holiday party which gives Twilight the opportunity to explain about the current conditions of the Daring Do publishing status, another 2 month delay. After some discussion, the blue pegasus decides that she wants to try and find the author and help her.
The Mane Six later find themselves in a desolate part of the woods where they encounter a lone cottage, supposedly where this author, A. K. Yearling lives in. While observing said cottage, they are startled by the author herself who was questioning the state of her home which is a mess. After some searching and discussions, Pinkie Pie points out the intruders in the cottage, prompting A. K. Yearling to throw away her disguise, revealing herself to be Daring Do.
As the adventurer tries to deal with the intruders who are currently being lead by her rival, Dr. Caballeron, the Mane Six tries to process what is happening though in the end, Daring Do ends up getting beaten up though she refuses help. Rainbow Dash and Twilight conclude that the evil doctor is planning on using a ring in the adventurer's cottage to perform a dark ritual.
They continue to follow Daring Do despite her repeated refusal until they find Dr. Caballeron again, prompting the adventurer to get a disguise and try to buy the ring. Unfortunately during the deal, they are attacked by Ahuizotl and his minions, prompting the evil doctor to flee. Unfortunately, Daring Do ends up losing the ring when Rainbow Dash interferes, resulting in her getting sent away though her friends quickly convinced her not to do so.
While Daring Do and Rainbow Dash are trying to enter the fortress, the rest of the Mane Six intercept Ahuizotl and distract him long enough for the two adventurers to stop the dark ritual. In the end, Rainbow Dash manages to get Daring Do's respect and later a pre-order of the book.
=====Power Ponies=====
While the Mane Six are revisiting the old castle, Spike's comic book triggers a spell which sucks them all into the superhero comic. As a bonus, they also get casted as the superheroes of this story with Rarity being casted as Radiance, a parody of superheroes with energy construct abilities. After their failed encounter with the supervillain, Mane-iac, Spike explains to his friends about how their powers work.
They later approach the lair of the supervillain where an ambush resulted in them getting apprehended, except Spike who was left behind. Dragged inside the lair, they got to see the supervillain's evil plan which fittingly is hair-themed. After an evil monologue, Spike successfully takes down the minions, allowing the Mane Six to break free.
Mane-iac's attempt at trying to operate her weapon forced her to swat away a firefly, finally triggering Fluttershy's rage which allows her to grow in size. The beam ends up bouncing off her before getting smashed, all while the supervillain falls victim to her own weapon. In the end, the group managed to finish the story and exit the world.
=====Bats!=====
Rarity arrives alongside the rest of the Mane Six due to Applejack's fruit bat problem. This was an even bigger issue due to her currently trying to raise a giant apple for a competition. Despite Fluttershy's attempts to convince everyone of the bats' harmlessness, they still go along with the orange pony's attempts at getting rid of them.
After a meeting, Twilight formulates a plan to deal with the bats though they need Fluttershy's help. The fruit bats were gathered up to a single tree where the yellow pegasus stares them to submission, allowing the purple alicorn to safely cast her spell. Said spell removed the fruit-eating desires from the bats, making for a successful attempt at stopping their destruction. However while leaving, Fluttershy starts to suspiciously stare at an apple.
On the next day, the apples are still rotten, prompting Applejack to call her friends back. Finding a bat, they find Twilight's spell to still be functional. With no other option, they decide to perform a stake-out, gathering back at the orchard at night. Somehow they fail to notice Fluttershy's odd craving for the nearby apples until they split up.
Eventually Applejack finds what is possibly the culprit hiding in the darkness before calling in the rest of her friends. Shining a light on the figure, they find it to be no one other than Fluttershy who has morbed become a vampire batpony. As the group attempts to interact with their transformed friend, Twilight realized what had happened, her spell had redirected the fruit-eating desires from the bats to the yellow pegasus.
A few attempts were made to apprehend the transformed Fluttershy, all of which failed until Pinkie Pie points out about her stare, giving her friends an idea. Using Applejack's giant apple, they lure the vampire batpony into a mirror, causing her to use the stare on herself and get knocked out. This allowed Twilight to reverse her spell on Fluttershy, turning her back to normal.
In the end, Applejack agrees to Fluttershy's idea and sections off a specific part of the orchard for the fruit bats. As the Mane Six celebrate their friend's return, they are unaware that she still had some traits of this incident.
=====Rarity Takes Manehattan=====
At the train station, the Mane Six and Spike are ready to join Rarity at her business trip to Manehattan with her offering a few tickets to watch a play for her friends as gratitude for accompanying her. On their way, the white unicorn helps out many of the city denizens though eventually, it starts to rain. Luckily, her generosity pays off as a cab driver decides to repay the favor by giving the group a lift though unfortunately, Rarity ends up leaving behind her dresses.
As she despairs, her generosity pays off again when the hotel bellhop decides to repay the favor by bringing her suitcases containing the dresses to her. With that, she was able to arrive just in time for the fashion show where she ends up meeting an old acquaintance, Suri Polomare. She asks for help from the white unicorn who agrees to do so, even giving a piece of fabric for her.
This backfires when the rival ends up stealing Rarity's design, causing her great despair. The Mane Six and Spike greet her back at the hotel where she confesses about her mistake. Needing a way to be a step ahead of her rival, she decides to use the hotel room as inspiration before asking for help from her friends. This ended up taking a very long time, exhausting them from all the work though they did manage to pull it off, without getting even a thank you from the stressed Rarity.
After Rarity realized her mistake at the fashion show, she quickly tried to find her friends who had already left the hotel. Her panic was misjudged as they simply overslept and were just getting ready to watch the play though they also brought news of the white unicorn's loss. She wasn't particularly messed up by this and instead offers to accompany her friends with watching the play.
They had a great time at the play but as they were about to leave, they're approached by Suri Polomare's assistant, Coco Pommel. She ended up giving the trophy meant for Rarity, explaining that her boss had lied about winning to get the white unicorn to leave. As gratitude, she hires the assistant for another job before going home with a few gifts.
Amongst the gifts she got was a glowing rainbow colored spool of thread... This will be important later.
=====Three's a Crowd=====
The rest of the Mane Six bid their farewells to Fluttershy at the train station… which is when Discord arrives. At this point in time, the draconequus appeared to have a blue coloration and explains that he had caught the blue flu. Twilight decided to leave him with Rarity and Applejack though he quickly infects them and leaves while they’re incapacitated by the disease.
=====Pinkie Pride=====
After the foiled goof-off and revelation, Pinkie Pie realized that she had made a mistake and forfeits, planning on leaving after her failure. The rest of the Mane Six arrive to comfort her as despite how great Cheese Sandwich is at his job, the pink pony is a permanent resident that's here to stay. After listening the gamboge pony's backstory, Pinkie Pie finally regains her confidence and agrees to continue her party planning endeavors.
In the end, their efforts were well-placed and they managed to throw a successful party for Rainbow Dash. With the job done, Cheese Sandwich rides back into the sunset though not before giving Pinkie Pie one of his rubber chickens named "Boneless" which starts to glow with a rainbow colored tint... This will be important later.
=====Simple Ways=====
With the Ponyville Days Festival underway, Rarity has been chosen to be the one to run the ceremonies. She brings her friends to review her plans though they soon notice that the white unicorn may be developing a crush on a travel writer named Trenderhoof. Soon the writer arrives and Rarity does her best to stay conscious and lead him on a tour through Ponyville.
During Rarity’s attempts to impress Trenderhoof, the two come across Applejack whose behavior earns writer’s attraction, much to the white unicorn’s dismay. Rarity is later found by Spike crying in her home. Determined to gain Trenderhoof’s affection, the white unicorn begins her attempts to imitate the orange pony. Unfortunately, her efforts failed numerously and worse still while resting, Applejack finds her in the act.
Later the rest of the Mane Six got to see Rarity’s new fashion line imitating Applejack’s aesthetics which of course disturbs her due to the white unicorn’s motives. In an attempt to convince Rarity to stop, the orange pony decided to imitate her by wearing a fancy dress and getting a makeover. The two got into an argument, ending in the white unicorn splattering mud on the dress. She quickly apologizes, realizing that nobody should change themselves just to impress other.
=====Filli Vanilli=====
The rest of the Mane Six arrive just in time to listen to Fluttershy sing to her animals, earning her panic. Rarity ends up inviting her to be a member of the "Pony Tones" who are currently here for a fundraiser for a nearby pet center. Despite being a huge fan of the group, Fluttershy couldn't bring herself to join, suffering from severe stage fright. Still, they take her to see the setup for the show where they get to see Big Mac arrive with a loss of voice due to a turkey call competition.
Due to this issue, Fluttershy decides to try and check out Zecora to see if she can help. In order to make time for a cure, the zebra suggests the use of poison joke to bring back the masculine voice the yellow pegasus ended up getting due to its effects.
At first, she was nervous of this prospect though Rarity figures out a solution, just sing off-stage and let Big Mac lip-sync her singing. With that deal, Fluttershy agrees, singing off-stage and allowing for the Pony Tones to make a successful performance. Later down the line, the group ends up continuing their performances in various places with the yellow pegasus always singing out of sight.
Eventually, Big Mac's voice is repaired though Fluttershy was greatly enjoying her gig. Rarity allows her one more chance. However during the performance, the yellow pegasus knocks over the curtains, exposing her performance to the crowd. Despite the positive reaction, her stage fright gets the best of her and scares her out of the place.
While recovering in her cottage, she was surprised by Pinkie Pie who proceeds to poke her with various statements which scares her out once again. Despite the compliments she gets, she still vows to never perform in public again. However, Rarity points out that she was the one who suggested on going to all those performances and she genuinely enjoyed performing. In the end, Fluttershy agrees to join the Pony Tones though in the condition that she doesn't go on larger crowds.
=====It Ain't Easy Being Breezy=====
The rest of the Mane Six arrive to listen to Fluttershy's explanation on what to do to ensure a safe arrival of the breezies. Besides a good breeze which Rainbow Dash will be providing, they also need to be cheered on... quietly. Said breezies eventually arrive to town though after an incident, the yellow pegasus decided to take care of some injured breezies for a while.
Unfortunately, she ends up getting attached to them though after an engagement with their leader, Fluttershy realizes she had a mistake and quickly sends the breezies away. Due to a lack of numbers, the breeze isn't gentle enough to carry these breezies, forcing Twilight to turn herself and her friends into breezies in order to lead the other breezies back home.
This plan was a success and they all manage to arrive back at their home to meet with their friends and family. After being turned back to ponies, Fluttershy noticed the flower Seabreeze gave to her for gratitude, finding it glowing with a rainbow colored tint... This will be important later.
=====Maud Pie=====
The Mane Six arrive at Pinkie Pie's place to find piles of rock candy littered all around in order to celebrate the arrival of her dear sister, Maud Pie. After some testing on the many sweets the pink pony has made, she finally explains their purpose, to make rock candy necklaces. Eventually the train arrives, prompting them to quickly rush there and greet the dull pony.
A lakeside picnic was set up with Maud eventually showing up, alongside her "colorful" personality. After a "riveting" game of camouflage, the rest of the Mane Six take a break while Fluttershy takes the pets back to their homes. Later once she's back, they discuss the possibility that the dull pony's behavior may be due to shyness. Rarity ends up inviting Maud to admire some clothing, revealing that the dull pony has such low standards that she considers a dish towel to be worthy of her attention, much to the white unicorn’s horror.
Pinkie Pie finally finishes the rock candy necklaces, only to be told by her friends that they aren't very fond of her sister, causing her great sadness. In one last attempt, she ends up making an elaborate obstacle course in hopes that it can help them all bond though she ends up almost crushed by one of said obstacles. Luckily Maud managed to step in and save her from the danger, earning the respect of the ponies.
Eventually they were able to reconcile with Maud and wade goodbye for her, until she comes back eventually.
=====For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils=====
During a day at work, Rarity found herself approached by Sweetie Belle who needs a dress for a play. Despite being particularly busy that day, the white unicorn decides to get some help to finish faster. Later she indeed delivers, giving a number of high-quality clothes though unfortunately, it draws the praise of the crowd away from the performance. Worse still, Rarity was unable to come due to her needing to finish up the rest of her work.
Later Sweetie Belle decides to confront Rarity for stealing her spotlight which was odd as she had only done what was requested. The white filly was being unreasonable at this point and locks herself in her room, refusing to exit until nightfall. Upon exiting, she decided to ruin an important piece of her sister’s design before going to sleep.
Luckily, Princess Luna was able to confront Sweetie Belle on this issue and eventually convince her to fix the damages she’s done. During her presentation, Rarity encounters her sister who quickly takes her box of items, prompting her to give chase. Sweetie Belle was eventually able to fix the part she had damaged before apologizing to her sister. In the end, the two reconciled and Rarity was able to earn the respect of the judges with her designs.
=====Testing Testing 1, 2, 3=====
After Twilight fails to properly educate Rainbow Dash for her upcoming test, she ends up asking her friends for help on this issue. Rarity in particular uses historical fashion to explain the learning material though the blue Pegasus finds this confusing.
In the end however, Twilight figures out Rainbow Dash's learning style and ends up successfully educating her enough to pass the exam.
=====Trade Ya!=====
The Mane Six arrive at Rainbow Falls in order to participate in the Traders Exchange event, a day in which bartering is legalized. Rarity and Applejack in particular planned on working together to get their hooves on some rare items. They eventually find the item they’re looking for though it’ll cost them all of their goods. The white unicorn is planning on getting a particular brooch which the orange pony disapproves of.
The two eventually reconcile after the fight and on the way back, they revealed that they managed to get something for each other. Rarity was given a different brooch and in return, she gives Applejack a smaller pie tin.
=====Inspiration Manifestation=====
During the Foal and Filly faire, Rarity decided to make a puppet theatre which unfortunately was not up to the commissioner’s standard. She sulks in her home due to despair from this failure, prompting Spike to go off and retrieve a particular magical book known as “Inspiration Manifestation” which may help with this problem. Later the baby dragon gives said book to the white unicorn which pleases her greatly.
Learning of how the book works, Rarity successfully bends the fabric of reality to her own liking with her magic, mainly to make things more aesthetically pleasing. With these new powers she goes off and fixes the puppet theatre she had messed up, earning the praise of the commissioner. While this is a lot of power for one pony to wield, Spike does not find this suspicious at all.
This turned out to be wrong as the next day, Spike got to witness Rarity beginning to succumb to madness due to all the power she currently wields, She asks the baby dragon to come along and support her as she restructures Ponyville to her liking. As expected, this leads to chaos and destruction, prompting Spike to try and do something about this.
Spike successfully steals the book from Rarity though unfortunately at this point, Rarity has absorbed the powers of the book and no longer needs it. Thankfully due to a clause in the spell’s function, the baby dragon was able to drain her from its power by simply telling the truth about what she has done. In the end, the white unicorn realizes her mistake and apologizes though unfortunately, it takes a bit more effort to fix the mess she has made.
=====Equestria Games=====
Rarity joins the rest of the Mane Six in order to accompany Sweetie Belle who had signed up as a flag bearer. Later when the cloud gets frozen, she alongside everyone without wings is in danger before Spike steps in and melts it all with his fire.
=====Twilight's Kingdom=====
After hearing about Tirek's return, the Mane Six gather up in order to greet Discord after he had been elected to try and stop the evil centaur. His comments prompted Twilight to go back to the old castle in order to see what to do about the chest on the Tree of Harmony while he himself goes off to try and find Tirek. Unfortunately, he was quite good at manipulation and even though the draconequus' friendship with Fluttershy is on the line, he still chooses to ally himself with the evil centaur.
Eventually Twilight figures out how to open the chest, using the gifts each of her friends got which had an ominous rainbow glow to them. Remember “Rarity Takes Manehattan”? Yes, this is where the thread spool comes into play. Among the other artefacts the ponies bring, they all form into keys which perfectly fit the locks on the chest in the Tree of Harmony.
Unfortunately, they are missing Twilight's key and she ends up getting called in for a meeting at Canterlot to learn of the horrid truth, Discord has betrayed them and Tirek is rampaging across Equestria, forcing the princesses to give away their magic to the purple alicorn for safekeeping.
After receiving the magic of the princesses, Twilight goes back to Ponyville while attempting to keep her magic a secret, all while Canterlot is under siege by Tirek and Discord who find the princesses drained of magic. However, they eventually figure out this ruse and quickly arrive to Ponyville, the draconequus putting the Mane Six except Twilight into a cage.
Once Tirek is done absorbing their magic, he moves on to Discord, betraying him as well in the process. After a tough duel with Twilight, the evil centaur was forced to use her friends as a bargaining chip for the magic which the purple alicorn agrees to. Discord ends up giving her the medallion he got as a sign of friendship with said medallion now glowing with a rainbow tint... This is the last key.
The Mane Six managed to avoid Tirek's attacks long enough to reach the Tree of Harmony and unlock the chest, releasing a rainbow colored blast which grants them great power, strong enough to obliterate the evil centaur and send him back to his previous prison. With that issue finished, they continued to repair the damage that has been done before finally, a giant crystal castle rises from the ground to replace Twilight's destroyed library.
As the powers wear off, Twilight is told by the princesses that said castle belongs to her while she herself learns the role of the Princess of Friendship, to spread the magic of friendship across Equestria. Despite this, she still credits her friends for playing an important role for her and they find 7 thrones inside said castle. A celebration was held for the ponies and a new and exciting era begins...
====Season 5====
=====The Cutie Map=====
Checking on the functions of this new castle, the Mane Six find that the desk in the middle of the main room is showing a map. It also has the capability of calling in certain members of the Mane Six via their cutie map and for this occasion, they are called in to a desolate town known as "Our Town". With Spike left behind to guard the place, the ponies venture off to this new adventure.
Arriving at the village, they find the denizens to be slightly discolored and always smiling which Pinkie Pie quickly notices, their houses arranged into a pair of parallel rows. Most disturbingly, their cutie marks are all the same, a black "=" mark. After meeting some of the disturbing villagers, they are lead to meet the cult/village leader herself, Starlight Glimmer.
After some explanations of the values she believes in, the Mane Six were rather disturbed with Rarity in particular being repulsed by the choice of garments being used all around. The group later requested some time to consider their decision in joining Starlight's cult. During their discussions which turns to arguing, they are approached by the cultists who are intrigued by the cutie marks and friendship of the ponies, prompting them to invite the Mane Six to a secret meeting.
They were soon informed of where the cutie marks are stolen using a magic staff and stored in a vault. Visiting said vault, Twilight believes that they had been called to the place in order to return the cutie marks to the cultists. Unfortunately, Starlight gets to them first and proceeds to take away their cutie marks and replacing them with the black "=" marks before dropping them off at a re-education house.
While stuck in said re-education house, the ponies to contend with both propaganda and having to deal with a lack of their former talents. Rarity in particular is devastated that she is unable to differentiate the quality of some drapes in the room. The Mane Six decide to send Fluttershy out in order to try and learn more about the situation. This proved to be a worthwhile endeavor as she learns something pivotal...
Starlight Glimmer had a cutie mark all along.
The next day when Starlight goes off to check on the rest of the Mane Six with Party Favor, the pony that got put in the re-education house, exiting while claiming remorse. Fluttershy quickly douses the heliotrope unicorn in water, revealing her true cutie mark.
The cultists soon realized that their leader is a hypocrite all along and quickly turn on her.

With the help of the villagers and their special talents, the Mane Six finally catch up with Starlight and succeed in regaining their cutie marks.

The Mane Six arrive at Twilight's new castle, finding her a dishevelled mess. They decide to listen to her reasoning as well as everyone else's experience with Twilight's behavior. As it turns out, she had been uncomfortable in her castle, prompting her friends to offer a makeover to the house while she gets a relaxing day in the spa. With her agreement, the ponies come back later with some decorative items in order to make the castle more lively.
Their combines efforts ended up creating a mess with Rarity in particular putting various gem-laded fabrics to beautify the place. Realizing their mistakes, Spike was quickly sent to stall Twilight while they try to figure out what the best course of action is. For now, they have managed to fix the mistakes they've added though it ends up putting them back in square one.
Eventually, Applejack figures out what to do before coming to the ruins of Twilight's library. Once she returned, they showed the biggest feature they worked on, a chandelier depicting many important memories of the purple alicorn's life. Twilight was moved by this and was extremely grateful of her friends' efforts. Of course, some of the rooms did get a few modifications from the ponies, much to everyone's amusement.
=====Tanks for the Memories=====
After her failure to cancel winter, the Mane Six visit the saddened Rainbow Dash with Fluttershy quickly explaining that Tank will likely not be awake for the winter.

She along with the rest of the Mane Six explain their troubles to Pinkie Pie who has been tasked with a party for the yaks, causing her great anxiety.
As chaos ensues, Pinkie Pie boards a train to Yakyakistan though it ends up being blocked off by a group of sheep. She later hitches a ride on a delivery cart which ends up in the Crystal Empire where she meets up with Princess Cadence who directs her to Yakyakistan. Unfortunately, just as she reached the entrance, a sled somehow drags her all the way back to Ponyville, rendering her whole journey useless.
Her friends later find her at her cave under Sugarcube Corner where she was in a state of distress. From their encouragement, Pinkie Pie figures an idea for a party for the yaks. She manages to find them stuck in the train station due to a group sheep and proceeds to invite them to the party which is merely a regular party in the town. After a heartfelt speech, she managed to calm the yaks down and even make them cancel their declaration of war, a success for the pink pony.
=====Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?=====
In Princess Luna's dream, the Mane Six manage to take Nightmare Moon down and free her, causing her to realize that she just had a good dream. Later in the waking world, the Mane Six are discussing their horrid dreams which had caused them a loss of sleep. They quickly contacted Princess Luna who later arrives and explains the problem, the Tantabus has escaped and is now invading their dreams with plans to grow strong enough to invade the waking world itself.
To catch it, the Mane Six proceed to gather up that night for a sleepover as Princess Luna gets ready to hunt the Tantabus in their dreams. Once they have fallen asleep, the moon alicorn uses her magic to enter said dreams, finding the many nightmares the Mane Six are experiencing with Rarity in particular getting attacked by her designed fabrics. After her failure, the Mane Six console Princess Luna though she soon realizes that the Tantabus has escaped again, this time to the dreams of Ponyville's residents.
Twilight suggests to combine the dreams of the ponies into one singular dream, allowing for everyone to gather up and attempt to keep the Tantabus down. Despite this, the creature continues to grow larger, causing Princess Luna to blurt out its origins, that she had created it in order to punish herself for her actions as Nightmare Moon. The ponies quickly rush to console her as well as ask her to forgive herself which once she does so, successfully dispels the Tantabus.
=====Canterlot Boutique=====
While looking through her letters, Rarity finds a notification for an opening on Canterlot which will allow her to finally set up a boutique in that city. In order to celebrate the opening, she meets up with her manager Sassy Saddles and advertises a particular dress to honor the opening which gets called the “Princess Dress”.
This design was notably success and out of principal to give everyone a dress fitting for them, Rarity decides to take all the orders. Unfortunately, all of said orders are on the Princess Dress which begins to dishearten her. This was a successful endeavor which Sassy Saddles appreciates greatly, even bringing in more orders on the Princess Dress.
Finally sick of the lack of variety, Rarity snaps. She did not want to engage in anything related to Canterlot if this is how it always goes and plans on closing down. Putting up some of her older designs, she got to see ponies growing a liking to the designs. This was enough to calm her down and in the end, she decided not to close the store down after all.
=====Rarity Investigates!=====
Rainbow Dash met up with Rarity in order to remind her that she had been hired as a backup flyer for the Wonderbolts' performance and the two are invited for dinner at the castle. Later that night, the two meet up with a retired Wonderbolts flyer under the name of Wind Rider. They were particularly impressed with achievements until Spitfire showed up to praise the blue pegasus for her great records, prompting the retired flyer to leave.
The next day, Spitfire was called to visit her sick mother, opening a spot for Rainbow Dash to fill. It is later revealed that said mother was never sick and no message had ever been sent, leaving the blame on the blue pegasus. Rarity offers to help prove her friend's innocence and the two later go to the instructor's room to check for clues.
They also do not forget to interview those involved and eventually, Rarity managed to compile a list of clues and explanations which all pointed to Wind Rider being guilty. In the end, he ended up confessing and as a result, he was discharged from the Wonderbolts and Rainbow Dash was proven to be innocent.
=====Made in Manehattan=====
During Twilight’s reading session, Rarity and Applejack arrive at the castle, having been called by the Cutie Map and sent to Manehattan. The white unicorn in particular was ecstatic at the prospect of visiting the city again. The two later arrive to Manehattan and are greeted by Coco Pommel who is setting up a restoration of a theatre event.
Said event was usually hosted by a community member though said member left and nobody else was willing to continue it. This issue has caused a rift in the community which Coco Pommel was willing to fix by being the one to host the theatre event. Assuming this to be the friendship problem they’re called to fix, Rarity and Applejack get to work with the former using her designing skills to make new costumes.
Later when the hired actors arrived, the stage that had been set up collapsed due to old age. Scraping by what little they could get, Coco Pommel is beginning to lose hope though Applejack suggests to do what they can.
Relocating to the neighborhood square, the actors continued with their gig which despite its small scale, attracts some nearby denizens. Said play ended as a massive success, great enough that they were able to restore the community’s bond and later, they were even willing to fully fix up the park, marking the end of Rarity and Applejack’s mission.
=====The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows=====
After discovering the secret of Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's baby, Pinkie Pie needs to keep said information a secret. While this seems harmless, she soon realizes how difficult it is and ends up having to avoid her friends and even Ponyville residents just to keep it a secret. To make things worse, Rarity warns her how bad it is to spoil a secret, further increasing the pressure to keep it. Eventually she arrives at Twilight's Castle, only to be told that Shining Armor and Princess Cadence had their arrival delayed.
Luckily before Pinkie Pie can go insane, the couple arrive after dealing with their delays and proceed to send the Mane Six on a scavenger hunt. Eventually they discover several items relating to the secret the couple were planning to explain, their baby. In the end, the pink pony managed to get through it all without revealing the secret to anyone else.
=====Scare Master=====
After taking cover in the castle and talking to Spike, Fluttershy decided to meet up with her friends and finally agrees to join them in the Nightmare Night celebrations, much to their delight. The yellow pegasus was soon brought in to the Carousel Boutique in order to get a costume, settling for a black dress in the end. Later the group engage in some Nightmare Night games in Sugarcube Corner though Fluttershy fails to enjoy any of it.
Twilight suggests that Fluttershy try and do the scaring herself, a suggestion she agrees to. An hour later, her friends arrive to her cottage, only to be disappointed by the lackluster scares. The yellow pegasus is disappointed by this and ends up giving up though Angel manages to help her regain her resolve.
The rest of the Mane Six later visit the Apple family's haunted maze where after some regular scares, they find themselves in a tree tunnel. While exploring the place, a scaled monster began chasing them down until they are cornered by a cliff. To make things worse, Flutterbat appears from the horizon and descends upon the screaming pony... Only to stop and reveal herself to be Fluttershy all along. She also explains that her animal friends had been assisting her in making the additional props truly terrifying.
While her friends cheer her for successfully scaring them, Fluttershy still does not enjoy the act of scaring her friends and decides to go back to her cottage and resume her usual routine. They understand her plight and continue with their night while leaving the yellow pegasus to her own devices, much to her delight.
=====What About Discord?=====
After seeing Rainbow Dash seemingly getting along with Discord, Twilight and Spike proceed to look deeper into this phenomenon, finding Rarity and Fluttershy hanging out with the draconequus, making some inside jokes and excluding the purple alicorn. The same thing has happened with Applejack and Pinkie Pie, leaving Twilight confused and uncomfortable.
She later invites her friends and Discord in order to hear out what they've been doing though unfortunately, they were incapable of giving a clear answer. After multiple failed attempts and Discord's suspicious advice, Twilight somehow concludes that he has casted a spell on her friends and later, she gathers them up to drink a dispelling potion which ends up having no effect.
In the end, Twilight learns that it's OK to be jealous as long as she admits it and as it turns out, Discord had merely left the purple alicorn behind, thinking she was busy with some problems. Once that's all settled, the friends gather up for a group hug.
=====The Cutie Re-Mark=====
During one of Starlight's attempts at meddling with time, she manages to stop Fluttershy from getting bullied, prompting Rainbow Dash to not perform her first Sonic Rainboom. The disaster caused by this one results in Queen Chrysalis ruling Equestria and the remaining denizens end up creating resistance which managed to catch Twilight and Spike on their way back.
After some explanations, the two were able to escape just in time as Queen Chrysalis managed to arrive at their base. Twilight and Spike continue their battle against Starlight repeatedly, similarly ending in disaster repeatedly as well. Eventually the two manage to snag the heliotrope unicorn alongside them, showing them another desolate disastrous future as a result of her actions.
Eventually after seeing Starlight's backstory, Twilight manages to reach out to her with a heartfelt speech, finally convincing her to stop her attempts. With that issue finished, they all return back to the present, finding it not disastrous this time. The Mane Six soon arrive to confront the heliotrope unicorn though Twilight manages to convince them not to do so.
In the end, they agree to teach Starlight about friendship... and let her go without any consequences despite everything she has done.
====Season 6====
=====The Crystalling=====
After talking to Twilight, Starlight decides to join in with the rest of the Mane Six who were planning their visit to the Crystal Empire to see Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's new baby as well as the Crystalling ceremony which has the ability to strengthen the Crystal Heart. Some conversations later, the purple alicorn receives the invitation, allowing them all to go to the celebration.
Upon arriving, they meet up with Shining Armor who had become sleep deprived though he still leads them in while Starlight and Spike split from the group to meet up with Sunburst. Arriving at the palace, they eventually got to see the new baby named Flurry Heart, an alicorn. This is the first occurrence of a natural alicorn birth and for that reason, Princess Celestia and Luna have arrived to observe this phenomenon.
The decision to continue the Crystalling was approved and soon, the rest of the Mane Six try to help out with the preparations while Twilight and Pinkie Pie look after the baby. Despite their help, Shining Armor still gets a nervous breakdown due to stress and lack of sleep. Somehow he still manages to finish up the preparations though it still goes horribly wrong due to Flurry Heart's wailing, somehow shattering the Crystal Heart...
With the Crystal Heart shattered, the harsh snowstorm that was usually kept out could now close in on the city. Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Shining Armor are tasked with calming down the baby though the latter was forced to move out to deal with the ponies outside.
Eventually after some struggles, Starlight and Sunburst figure out a way to restore the Crystal Heart using the help of the ponies. In the end, everything ended just fine.
=====The Gift of Maud Pie=====
Rarity and Pinkie Pie arrive to Manehattan, finding Maud there to greet them. The pink pony had planned this whole day for her sister as gratitude for all the gifts she's received. With some convincing, the white unicorn agrees to help her with this endeavor while also looking for some good business locations. With that, the three go off sightseeing, eventually taking a break at a restaurant to eat.
While Rarity distracts Maud, Pinkie Pie goes off to find the gift she's looking for, a rock pouch. Unfortunately, the store was closed. The white unicorn remained optimistic though and lead the two ponies to find some interesting items. Looking around, the dull pony found nothing interesting though her sister does, another rock pouch though the pony selling it wants to trade it with her party cannon.
Pinkie Pie makes the trade and later gives Maud the rock pouch she had been interested with. Being a good sister, she quickly notices the pink pony's lack of party cannon use and proceeds to interrogate Rarity on it. Finding out what happened, the three confront the seller with Maud managing to threaten him into making another trade. The dull pony comforts her sister on her appreciation for any gift so long as it's given with love and the two later check out Rarity's shop location.
=====Gauntlet of Fire=====
While mining for gems with Spike, Rarity notices that the baby dragon is glowing. Out of concern, she rushes Spike to meet up with Twilight who was with the alicorn sisters. The sisters explained that the dragon lord is beckoning all dragons to his place for an event which is causing the glow. As the only way to stop it is to answer the call, the white unicorn and purple alicorn agree to follow the baby dragon in his travels.
During the briefing, the dragon lord explained that he plans on retiring and is hosting a competition for the next ruler. This is also where Spike meets Ember, daughter of the dragon lord and learns of Garble’s plan to destroy Equestria once he becomes dragon lord. With this, the baby dragon decided to join the competition to simply make sure Garble doesn’t end up becoming dragon lord.
The first race involved going through a body of water with geysers all over. While swimming through, Spike found a competitor who was knocked down, prompting him to drag them to shore which is where he discovers that it’s Ember herself, joining this tournament in disguise after her father forbade him from joining the competition.
Ember was confused on why she was saved which is when Spike gave a brief explanation on friendship with Rarity and Twilight showing up to help him with it. Hesitantly, the blue dragon accepts their help and later brings the baby dragon on the next race and the next one. However in one of those races, Spike goes off to save the white unicorn, confusing Ember.
Spike explained that this is what friends do, prompting Ember to abandon her partner. Still, his friends help him reach the volcano’s center where the scepter lays, the object that granted victory to the one that claims it first. Unfortunately, Spike was grabbed by Garble and was almost dropped into a pit of rocks until the blue dragon dived in and saved him.
The two managed to beat Garble with Spike being the one who acquired the scepter. With that, he won the title of dragon lord and after punishing Garble, he decided to give the title to Ember, believing her to be capable of ruling the dragon lands well. In the end, the blue dragon earns the respect of her father and subjects and the baby dragon got to go home safely without an enemy to Equestria.
=====A Hearth's Warming Tail=====
During yet another Hearth's Warming Eve, Ponyville denizens are decorating the town with Rarity in particular making decorative hats for the whole town. As Starlight wasn't interested in the holiday, Twilight decides to explain a new story, a parody of "A Christmas Carol". In the end, she accepts the moral of the story and joins in on the celebrations.
=====The Saddle Row Review=====
The Mane Six arrive at the Carousel Boutique to meet up with Rarity who was reading a newspaper, much to the horror of her friends. A flashback occurs, showing the ponies arriving at Saddle Row, a famous street which the white unicorn managed to set a shop at. As expected, the place is a dusty mess and new problems continue to occur with Rarity still insisting to get the shop open at the date she had planned.
Unfortunately, her friends did very poorly on the tasks they are assigned with. So poorly in fact that Twilight was forced to lock Rarity out to keep her from seeing the chaos going on. In the end however, they realized that the white unicorn wanted them to do things their way as she knows them well. With that information in-mind, the Mane Six do much better at their tasks and upon releasing Rarity, she is pleased with the results.
Back at the present, the reviews were particularly great and while Rarity questions why her friends didn't tell her about the problems with them simply not wishing to burden her.
=====Applejack's "Day" Off=====
Entering the sauna, Rarity explains to a staff member that she is waiting for a friend, that being Applejack, to come over for a spa day. Unfortunately due to her many chores, the orange pony is unable to arrive at the spa in time, leading to the white unicorn getting deformed from staying in the sauna for too long. Knowing this the next time, Rarity invites Twilight and Spike to deal with Applejack’s chores.
After giving away a chore list, the two arrive to the spa, only to see the long line leading to the sauna. Asking an employee, Applejack got a grasp on the issue and went off to fix it, allowing the line to shorten considerably due to faster services. Unfortunately, she and Rarity had ran out of time, the latter learning that the employees have gotten used to how things are, which is slow and inefficient.
Going back to Sweet Apple Acres, the two witness Twilight and Spike struggling with the chore list. To help them out, Applejack gives them a demonstration of each of those steps, realizing how overly complicated they all are. Her friends realized this and helped her find ways to simplify her chores. In the end, the orange pony got to have an actual spa day with her spare time.
=====Flutter Brutter=====
With her brother now stopping by her cottage, Fluttershy attempted to get him a job. This included a job at the Carousel Boutique. Rarity had agreed to this and assigned Zephyr with dying fabrics. Somehow this ended up with a number of animals finishing the job for him, leading to the turquoise pegasus getting fired.
=====Spice Up Your Life=====
After some fixes on the Cutie Map, it is finally functional again and the first thing it does is send Rarity and Pinkie Pie to Canterlot, much to the former’s delight. Arriving at the city, the white unicorn invites her friend to the many high-rated restaurants in the place though they find them to be disappointing. Pinkie Pie notices a nice smell from a small unrated restaurant belonging to Coriander Cumin and his daughter Saffron Masala.
The two have a strained relationship due to the failing business which Rarity and Pinkie Pie figure to be the friendship problem. The former explains to Coriander what makes a restaurant worthy of a high rating before helping him decorate and remodel his business. Unfortunately, they did not co-ordinate with Pinkie Pie and Saffron who are mortified to see what the restaurant has become. To make things worse, Rarity has brought in Zesty Gourmand, the chef involved in the rating system.
After some shenanigans, Zesty leaves in disappointment, much to everyone else's horror. While taking a break, Saffron decides to serve an old recipe to her father, the two remembering what they had always wanted. With the help of Rarity and Pinkie Pie, the two fix up the restaurant back to its former form, this time a lot more successful than before. Their efforts inspired others to do what they want, regardless of others' opinion.
=====The Cart Before the Ponies=====
After registering for the Applewood Derby, the Cutie Mark Crusaders get to work at building a cart for the race with Sweetie Belle planning for a more traditional design. Unfortunately, their siblings are overbearing with their help on the designs, a trend that continues the next day when they begin construction. It gets even worse when they disapprove any addition the fillies add onto their carts.
The day of the derby finally arrives and somehow, the older ponies are able to drive the carts despite it being an event for the foals. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were reasonably frustrated by this though nobody notices until a huge pile-up happened with the cause partially being a detached wheel from Rainbow Dash's cart.
This incident was the tipping point for the Cutie Mark Crusaders who proceeded to vent their frustrations on their sisters, much to their surprise. Realizing their mistake, the ponies apologize and in the end, they later rebuild the carts as the Cutie Mark Crusaders intended and allow them to race themselves.
=====28 Pranks Later=====
Rarity joins the rest of the Mane Six’s meeting regarding Rainbow Dash's pranking spree. Later when she was distracted, the blue pegasus replaces her sewing machine with a replica made of cake. The white unicorn later joins the rest of the town who have also been pranked by the blue pegasus in order to complain to Pinkie Pie.
After witnessing Pinkie Pie’s strange illness, Rainbow Dash decided to still go on with her plan and later meets up with Rarity, Applejack, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders to distribute the dyed cookies. They split off once finished, only to later encounter the blue pegasus again who leads to a barn to take cover as the town had turned into zombies.
Unfortunately, they later get infected and begin to swarm Rainbow Dash as she admits that this occurrence isn't funny. This is when it was finally revealed that this was a prank all along set up by Pinkie Pie and Ponyville's denizens to scare the blue pegasus straight. It was a success... with the side effect of her thinking up a way to one-up them.
=====Every Little Thing She Does=====
After Starlight was tasked to deal with some friendship problems, she decides to them all at once and invite all members of the Mane Six except Twilight who was leaving with Spike to a school event. Rarity’s problem in particular is needing someone to help her with sewing. Later they all arrive at the castle where the heliotrope unicorn assigns them to do their tasks in certain places.
Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy with Rarity not enjoying the dusty area she has work at and her friends having other requirements. Starlight ended up getting stressed out and in desperation, she decided to mind-control her friends with magic. The white unicorn was put in the library when in her mind-controlled state, she ends up sewing any fabric she can find, her friends also making similar mistakes in their state of mind.
Twilight and Spike soon return and manage to clean up the mess before confronting Starlight and learning the truth about her problems. After learning about the heliotrope unicorn's issues, the two decide to send her to apologize to the rest of the Mane Six which they accept. Through the rest of the day, Starlight helps them out in their tasks including helping Rarity fix up some tapestries.
In the end, they all decide to chill and relax on the castle roof per Rainbow Dash's request.
=====P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)=====
Twilight and Spike meet up with Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie who had been sent on a holiday at Seaward Shoals. The three ponies are in a disheveled state, having experienced some sort of unknown calamity which the purple alicorn asks them about, the baby dragon taking notes. Unfortunately, the three quickly got off and refused to join for a tea party, forcing Twilight and Spike to meet with them separately.
Meeting up with Rarity, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for some reason, Applejack was depicted as a stereotypical sailor. Once at sea, the orange pony ends up tossing a tray of food overboard, much to her companions' horror though Twilight notes that this seem out-of-character. Being an unreliable narrator, the white unicorn continues as Pinkie Pie raises a piñata while Applejack drives the ship into a storm.
Despite Rarity's begging, Applejack continues her course to the storm until a wave sweeps in and capsizes the ship. As expected, Twilight is skeptical of this story and is prompted to meet up with Pinkie Pie to make make sure it's accurate. Meeting up with her, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for completely legitimate reasons, Rarity was depicted as a glamorous sea captain with a large crew moving her luggage.
Once at sea, the pink pony's tray of candy was replaced with some fancy hors d'oeuvres before throwing it overboard, much to her companions' horror though Twilight notes that this seem out-of-character. Being an unreliable narrator, the pink pony continues and decides to raise a piñata in an attempt to lighten the mood though Rarity seemed unimpressed.
During their cruise, a storm ends up washing over them followed by a wave which capsizes the ship. As expected, Twilight is skeptical of this story and is prompted to meet up with Applejack to make make sure it's accurate. Meeting up with her, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for some reason, Pinkie Pie was depicted as maddened fool.
Once at sea, Applejack found herself annoyed by her friends who are enjoying their lunch instead of focusing on the adventure ahead. This continued to get worse as Pinkie Pie begins the usual set of games to unwind and Rarity accidentally uses the ship's only map as a tablecloth. As they fight over the map, the ship is hit by a wave, capsizing it.
Twilight was somehow able to piece together a concrete story despite how biased everyone's story is. She later invites the three ponies to the docks to explain what had happened. As it turns out, cucumbers had a habit of inviting the attention of a sea-monster which was the one responsible for capsizing the ship. Realizing what had happened and hearing the purple alicorn's explanation, the three ponies reconcile and decide to go on another boat-trip.
=====To Where and Back Again=====
After suffering from anxiety from the upcoming Sunset festival, Starlight was soon comforted by the Mane Six with Twilight in particular asking Trixie to help her out. Despite this, the visit still goes wrong, forcing the two to go back to Ponyville where they find everyone acting strangely. They soon discover that Ponyville's denizens have been kidnapped and replaced with changelings, much to their horror.
After the ordeal Starlight, Trixie, Discord, and Thorax went through in the hive, they manage to eventually get to Queen Chrysalis. The heliotrope unicorn in particular managed to convince the good changeling to share his love, allowing him to become reformed and teach the others how to do so, allowing them to destroy the queen's throne.
This also frees the imprisoned denizens who are thankful of their new freedom.

One of the activities they engaged in was an escape room which they try to break out at record time. They were just 2 seconds off... Some time later they return back to the castle, inviting Starlight and Trixie for a spa break, prompting the former to quickly erase the memories of everyone in the place in order to cover up the problems they just went through.
=====Fluttershy Leans In=====
The rest of the Mane Six listen in on Fluttershy's ambition to build an animal sanctuary. They agree and attempt to support her with Rarity in particular recommending an interior decorator under the name of Dandy Grandeur.
=====Forever Filly=====
While cleaning up and preparing for the next season of clothes, Rarity finds an old picture of herself and her sister. Feeling a little sentimental, she decided to go and give Sweetie Belle a visit. She conveniently arrives while the Cutie Mark Crusaders are busy though thankfully they’re fine with the white unicorn bringing one of their friends along. With that, the two go off on various activities though Sweetie Belle doesn’t seem to enjoy them despite formerly liking these activities.
Sweetie Belle finally snaps during a photoshoot as her sister seemingly doesn’t know her enough to take her on activities she currently enjoys. Annoyed by this, Rarity decided to follow her sister to lecture her. At some point however, she notices Sweetie Belle explain how everything changes as they grow up in order to help a filly with her dog. Moved by this, the white unicorn understands her sister’s plight and takes her in for a hug.
In the end, the two reconcile and spend the last moments of the visit eating at an ice cream shop as nobody is ever too old for ice cream.
=====Honest Apple=====
While setting up some flyers, Rarity revealed that she had invited Applejack to be a fashion show judge which the orange pony questions. The white unicorn explains that she needs Applejack’s honesty and practicality as it brings something new to the table. With some convincing, the orange pony accepts the invitation and later arrives to Rarity’s shop. There she gets to meet with her fellow judges, demonstrating her judgement to them.
Later the contestants arrive and while the other judges are rather fond of their designs, Applejack is more critical of them. Everyone else begins to realize the issue and despite Rarity’s attempts at defending her friend, she continues to wear them down throughout the day. As a result, the day is cut short and while Applejack is pleased with the results, her friend begins to worry.
The next day, improvements are being done to some designs with the advice from the judges. During a moment of frustration, Applejack blurts out that she finds fashion to be ridiculous, earning the displeasure of everyone else, further worsened by the fact that she was being completely honest about it. Finally having enough, Rarity dragged her friend along, finding a pony who genuinely despises the existence of apples, much to her dismay.
Returning to the shop, Applejack apologizes to the judges and contestants for her harmful opinion. She ends up helping them out with setting up the show they’ve been planning, earning Rarity’s gratitude. Once the show is done, new designs are being put up and when encountering a particularly bad one, the white unicorn decides it’s alright to criticize this particular one.
=====Not Asking for Trouble=====
The Mane Six were the first to be notified by Pinkie Pie of her new role as an ambassador for the yaks as well as her invitation to their Yickslurbertfest celebration. Unfortunately, disaster struck and due to their culture, the yaks refuse to consensually request for help and proceed to kick her out for offering it. She later returns to the castle where she figures out the loophole, they just have to help the yaks without their consent.
Soon they got to work, clearing away the horrid disaster and fixing up the village while the yaks sleep. They wake up to find the village in pristine condition though Prince Rutherford later notices the ponies leaving. He thanks them for respecting their tradition and regains his respect for Pinkie Pie, finally giving her the role of an honorary yak.
=====Fame and Misfortune=====
Checking on the friendship journal, the Mane Six realizes that it is in poor condition, prompting Starlight to make good quality copies which she plans on selling to the public. As expected, this backfires with Rarity experiencing the pain of being unfavored by fans in-universe while similar things were occurring to the other members of the Mane Six.
This continues to get worse as ponies began to gather outside the castle, having arguments about the tales happening in the journal, seemingly forgetting that in-universe, these are actual real life figures. The Mane Six's attempts to calm down the crowd are ignored. In the end, they learn that at least a few ponies learned something from this endeavor and they plan on simply waiting out the fad.
=====Campfire Tales=====
The Cutie Mark Crusaders and their sisters find themselves in another camping trip... which is quickly ruined by a swarm of bugs, forcing them to take refuge in a cave. Needing to wait them out, the three ponies decided to tell some campfire tales with Rarity telling the story of Mistmane with the moral being to value inside beauty.
They eventually come across a stream that leads to Winsome Falls and while they are unable to go camping, they did find great enjoyment from the tales they listened to.
=====It Isn't the Mane Thing About You=====
After showing off her gorgeous mane, Rarity decided to visit Sugarcube Corner, finding Pinkie Pie setting up a party for the cake twins involving an unhealth amount of silly string which ends up covering everything, including the white unicorn's mane. The two ponies agree to meet up with Zecora for a solution to their problems. Unfortunately, the zebra decided to put in regular shampoo and harmful chemicals in similar bottles, causing Rarity to use the latter to wash her mane which ends up falling off, much to her dismay.
Going back to Zecora’s place, Rarity learns that it’ll be a while before the zebra finishes with a cure for hair loss. In the meantime, the white unicorn needs to make do which is difficult as apparently being bald causes other ponies to mistreat her. Growing desperate, she decided to visit Twilight and Starlight for a solution.
In an attempt to regrow Rarity’s mane, Twilight and Starlight discover that one cannot create a mane without taking from another source despite their proficiency in magic. The white unicorn then went off to ask for help from some of her other friends though their alternatives were unsatisfying for her, leaving her in despair.
Her friends thankfully come over to cheer her up, inspiring her to make the most out of this situation and create a new and fabulous hairstyle out of the remains of her mane. Around that time, she realizes that Pinkie Pie has the shampoo and checks Sugarcube Corner, finding the place a mess.
After getting the situation resolved, Rarity managed to get her old mane back though she later realized that she was also on the cover of the magazine she had cancelled her photoshoot schedule with. Her friends had convinced the photographer to take pictures of her new style, allowing her to get what she had been planning for all along.
=====Shadow Play=====
After an extensive investigation, the rest of the Mane Six are called in to free the Pillars of Equestria which they can do with some artifacts relating to its members. Rarity in particular is sent to retrieve Mistmane’s flower. She along with her friends later arrive and use the artifacts to activate a spell, releasing the pillars from their prison... as well as the one they had imprisoned, The Pony of Shadows.
Upon escaping, the Pony of Shadows quickly destroys the place before being blasted with magic and forced to retreat. The pillars decide to ally themselves with the Mane Six in order to try and figure out how to deal with the issue. Unfortunately, the current plan by Star-Swirl involves sacrificing the Elements of Harmony which Twilight is beginning to consider.
With some effort and deduction, the Cutie Map points to a location where the Pony of Shadows is currently in. Star-Swirl continues to be adamant in his plans despite input from others, prompting Starlight to ask for context on the situation. After listening to the backstory of the Pony of Shadows, the heliotrope unicorn became interested in whether or not a peaceful solution is possible though the bearded unicorn continued to be adamant on his views.
Later the group extract the Elements of Harmony before arriving at the location the Pony of Shadows was at. Upon arriving, they are soon dragged into the Well of Shade where they face off against the dark entity. The spell was soon cast, opening a portal to limbo in order to banish their opponent. Twilight soon noticed the Pony of Shadows' true form sticking out, that being a pony named Stygian, and quickly flies in to try and learn more.
After learning about the situation from his point of view, the rest of the ponies soon realized how wrong they were and focused their attempts to instead banish the darkness he was tied to. Their efforts were successful in freeing Stygian with the added benefit of the Elements of Harmony remaining intact due to not being used for banishment.
====My Little Pony: The Movie====
While Twilight and Spike were dealing with the princesses, their friends were helping out with the preparations for the Friendship Festival with Rarity in particular decorating a stage. The purple alicorn later meets up with her friends to explain the problems she just went through with the princesses. Her friends quickly encouraged her with a song though moments after they finish, they are attacked by an army belonging to a so-called Storm King.
Leading the charge was a unicorn with a broken horn named Tempest Shadow and her hedgehog minion Grubber, the former managing to defeat all the princesses with a petrifying smoke bomb, save Twilight who managed to flee with the help of her friends. They all later fell into a river and swept out of Equestria where they try to find the so-called queen of the hippo.
They start out at a shady place known as Klugetown where the denizens attempt to enslave the ponies though they were saved from this predicament by an abyssinian named Capper. He later brings them to his house with plans to sell them which at this point, Rarity notices his damaged coat and fixes it up. Surprised by this act of generosity, the Abyssinian decides to help them out later. Twilight also learns that they are looking for hippogriffs, half-pony half-bird creatures living at a mountain.
Later Capper's boss and Tempest's army arrive at the town though they end up at odds with each other, allowing the Mane Six to escape onto the airship. Unfortunately, said airships are manned by a crew anthropomorphic parrots working for the Storm King. They were almost thrown overboard though lunch time strikes and the ponies are invited to eat with the parrots.
Rainbow Dash managed to convince them to return to their Sky Pirate roots which they agree to though when she performs a sonic rainboom, Tempest quickly realized their location. The Mane Six hid from their pursuers and managed to flee on a makeshift air balloon. Arriving at the mountain however, they find the hippogriff kingdom in ruin. Going back down, they notice a creature in a pond and attempt to pursue it, almost drowning in the process though they were soon rescued by the creature, a seapony by the name of Princess Skystar.
They were soon lead to the leader of the civilization, Queen Novo. After some discussions and explanations, the Mane Six were turned into seaponies using a magic pearl which the queen refuses to relinquish. Later down the line, Pinkie Pie decides to start a party with the seaponies though it was cut short when Twilight is caught attempting to steal the magic pearl, getting her and her friends banished from the kingdom.
Upon arriving back at shore, Twilight's friends confront her for her actions and after a heated exchange, they end up abandoning her. They did feel remorse afterward though Spike soon arrives to warn them that the purple alicorn had been caught by Tempest. As they try to figure out what to do, Capper arrives alongside the parrot pirates and their leader, Captain Celaeno. Princess Skystar also joins in, now a hippogriff.
Capper later arrives at Canterlot posing as a pastry chef with a big cake for congratulations, as well as the ponies. However, it was all a ruse and soon the rest of the crew broke free and attacked the Storm King's army, much to his dismay. He attempts to strike them with a storm though they manage to reach the castle using Pinkie Pie's party cannon. After a reunion with Twilight, they quickly rush to grab the warlord's staff, only for him and the purple alicorn to be sucked into the storm.
Before they could grief, Twilight descends with the staff safely... and so did Storm King. Before he could throw a petrifying bomb, Tempest stops him, causing them both to be petrified and fall off. The purple alicorn quickly saves the unicorn amputee, the warlord falling off and shattering as he has nobody else to save him. With that issue done, the Mane Six use the staff to reverse the petrification on everyone.
In the end, the ponies celebrate the Friendship Festival they've been planning while also celebrating their victory. Tempest and the new additions are also welcomed to the party which ends with Princess Celestia raising the sun.
====Season 8====
=====School Daze=====
With the cleanup finished and Tempest sent to another mission, the Mane Six decide to incorporate the locations they've travelled to into the map for bigger reach. In an attempt to spread the idea of friendship far and wide, Twilight decides to open a friendship school. After some consultations with Princess Celestia and the Equestria Education Association (EEA), she manages to open said school with her friends as employees.
Soon students were brought in with some of them not being ponies. At first the education seemed fun though sticking to the EEA guidelines ruins everything. A particular group of non-pony students called the Young Six decide to ditch class. Despite this, the school continues their Friends and Family Day celebration with the EEA member Chancellor Neighsay. Unfortunately, this celebration was ruined by the Young Six coming back with the Ocellus currently in a monstrous form.
To make things worse, Chancellor Neighsay is a bigot and is displeased with the existence of non-ponies in an Equestria School, prompting him to shut down the school and cause the ire of the other kingdoms from this action.
Twilight's friends decide to visit her after the horrendous event, finding her extremely distraught from the event. Starlight later visits and encourages her to fight back against this problem which is enough to restore the purple alicorn's resolve. She later meets up with her friends and plans on re-opening the school, this time with her rules as the Princess of Friendship.
They later visit the other kingdoms to ask for their students back though unfortunately, they are now gone which results in a threat of war. During their search, they find the pony member of the Young Six, Sandbar buying a large quantity of items including pillows from Rarity, prompting the Mane Six to follow him. They find the Young Six attacked by nearby wildlife which they dispatch, earning the respect of the students who later agree to go back to school as long as EEA standards aren't used.
After the kingdom leaders calm down from the return of the students, the School of Friendship is reopened, leading to Chancellor Neighsay coming over and seeing what had happened. Despite arguments from everyone else, the EEA member still believes that this school shouldn't exist though he is no longer allowed to shut it down. In the end, the school functions exactly as it should, to teach the lessons of friendship to anyone willing to attend it.
=====Fake It 'Til You Make It=====
During a nice picnic with the sanctuary animals, Fluttershy is approached by a panicking Rarity who needs someone to run her shop during an event. After agreeing, the yellow pegasus was shown the ropes of the place with a family of racoons willing to help her out for the occasion.
Rarity enjoyed the event she went to, unaware of the chaos Fluttershy is brewing up in her absence until the rest of the Mane Six comes over to inform her of the incident. Arriving at the shop, the white unicorn finds that the yellow pegasus had created a number of personas in order to better serve her job, leading to her mistreating everyone around her.
Rarity simply fires Fluttershy's personas, finally putting an end to the act. The yellow pegasus apologizes as she did this to have enough confidence to run the shop though her friend simply reminds her that she could have done that all along. From this incident, Rarity gains inspiration for her next design, allowing Fluttershy to show it off... and she ends up adopting a new persona from this.
=====Horse Play=====
The rest of the Mane Six were busy preparing a play when Twilight arrived to tell them about the news of Princess Celestia joining in on the play. Later the sun alicorn does arrive though soon everyone finds her to be terrible at this. However, the purple alicorn refuses to let her know.
The conditions continue to get worse until finally, an incident involving an unhealthy amount of fireworks finally sends Twilight over the edge, causing her to rant in front of everyone about everything that has gone wrong, including about Princess Celestia, which she overhears.
Later after a conversation with her, the two come up with a plan to save the play. Rarity alongside Applejack and Pinkie Pie were tasked with calming down the crowd. Princess Celestia simply helps off-stage and with props, bringing up the sun itself for a show. In the end, it all goes well.
=====Molt Down=====
While helping Rarity with looking for a phoenix and its spare feathers, Spike realizes that he’s coming down with an affliction causing stone scales to appear all over him. Despite the white unicorn’s concern, he brushes it off along with the discomfort it’s causing him. This affliction continues to worsen with more stone scales appearing and him occasionally spewing flames uncontrollably.
Spike still goes to the school of friendship though he wears a disguise… one which is completely ineffective as Rarity still recognizes him. Unfortunately, the baby dragon was quickly swept away by a crowd before ending up with Smolder where he learns what is happening to him.
While at Zecora’s to try and find something to help with his affliction, Rarity arrives due to hearing issues, prompting Spike to quickly hide. Unfortunately, the place was soon attacked by a roc, attracted by the scent the baby dragon was emitting. This resulted in the white unicorn and the zebra getting picked up. Thankfully, Twilight arrives and later Spike was able to develop wings at the end of his molt, allowing the two to take down the roc.
In the end, the baby dragon continued living with his family and helped Rarity out with the dress she wanted to make in the beginning.
=====Marks for Efforts=====
The Cutie Mark Crusaders watch the fun classes unfold in the School of Friendship in which they come to the realization that their regular classes are boring. With that, the fillies attempt a variety of ways to get themselves applied with Sweetie Belle in particular nagging repeatedly and annoyingly at Rarity. 
=====The Mean 6=====
The Mane Six and Starlight receive a photography session from a disguised Queen Chrysalis who was also plucking strands of their hair for later use. Once done, they leave the "photographer" to go on a camping trip, unaware of the evil plot planned against them. The queen had created evil clones based on the Mane Six which she later unleashes on the originals.
After noticing Fluttershy's disappearance, the Mane Six agree to split up and find them with Rarity and Starlight encountering evil Applejack who attempts to lead them to Queen Chrysalis in order to grant her revenge on the heliotrope unicorn. Unfortunately on the way, she tells a particularly offensive story, causing Starlight to run off. Further discourse continues to spread as the Mane Six interact with their evil counterparts until eventually, they come across each other again and just decide to laugh off this incident.
As they try to fix up the camp, they are left unaware of Queen Chrysalis' failed plot, ending in the Mean Six getting turned back into logs.
=====Friendship University=====
While Twilight was reading a letter from Star Swirl, Rarity received her order for a sewing machine. In the same batch of letters, the purple alicorn saw a flier on another friendship school named Friendship University.
Unsure of this new development, Rarity and Twilight arrive at the place, finding it run by the Flim Flam brothers and worse, has been approved by Councillor Neighsay due to it having only ponies as students. The purple alicorn and white unicorn are brought along to see what the school has to offer and to their horror, they find Star Swirl there as a student, trusting the scammer twins as he believed that everyone has a chance to change.
In order to find some information on this place, Twilight sends Rarity in a disguise to try and see what education is like. There she conveniently ends up on the class about generosity and aces it, becoming a star pupil. Later the white unicorn meets up with her friend again after she failed to learn anything substantial regarding Flim and Flam. However, they do realize that while the school enrolment itself is free, the worksheets are paid for with an exceptionally expensive price.
Following the Flim Flam brothers again, she finds them using the money they got to expand their businesses. Caught in the act, the two use try to blackmail Twilight again though now having seen what they’ve done, she did not care.
This time Rarity and Star Swirl are the ones who conveniently arrive at the scene to see what had unfolded. Under pressure, the Flim Flam brothers are forced to shut down their university and refund what they’ve taken. With that, all current competition to the School of Friendship is no more and they get free advertisement.
=====The End in Friend=====
In order to teach a class on compromise between friends, Starlight decided to invite Rarity and Rainbow Dash for an example as the class decided to follow the two around in their day together. However, they are unable to decide on what activity they want with the white unicorn wanting to go shopping. The two decided to just go and do both... this can only go well.
During the shopping session, Rainbow Dash ends up getting bored by Rarity’s long choosing when she herself is stuck in a glittery dress while during the buckball session, the white unicorn ends up not paying attention to the game. In their last session, they go to a cave for some gem-hunting and while they're having fun, Rarity was focused on finding gems for her work.
Somehow, Rainbow Dash managed to shatter a bunch of gems, by pushing them off a cart. This is the final straw and the two get into a huge argument where they somehow forget about 8 seasons they've spent together before deciding to break off their friendship, much to the shock of everyone watching. The two get called in to Starlight's office where she tries to mend their friendship, only to suffer from more arguing from the two of them.
Conveniently, they're called in to Twilight's office where she claims to have lost an amulet with disastrous powers. Due to being decently versed in skills to find this object, Rarity and Rainbow Dash decided to work together which is where they find a trail of glitter leading out of the school. After a series of harrowing events, the two make amends as they finally enter the place where the glitter is seemingly leading them...
... only to find that it's just a trick all along
=====Yakity-Sax=====
After reaping chaos all over Ponyville with her horrible "yovidaphone", Pinkie Pie finds herself confronted by her friends about this, prompting her to discard the instrument, much to her displeasure. Some time later, they find her in a joyless state and all attempts to cheer her up fail with Rarity in particular attempting to style her mane back into its puffy form with little success. After a so-called "Pinkie Pie Appreciation Day", they find that she had moved away to Yakyakistan to listen to some actually good yovidaphone players.
Travelling to the region, they find Pinkie Pie drowning her sorrows in a bar with a yak musician playing the yovidaphone competently. She agreed to go home though her mood was still sour as she now knows what she could have been doing with the instrument. Her friends soon realized that she simply enjoys playing the instrument, even if she's bad at it and decides to encourage her. This action works, causing her color and cheerful personality to return.
Little did they knew what they have unleashed upon the world...
=====Father Knows Beast=====
The Mane Six decide to nurse Sludge back to full health which will be detrimental later down the line.
=====School Raze=====
After the ponies at school realize the disappearance of magic, Rarity and Fluttershy arrive to further remind them of how widespread this phenomenon is. Cozy Glow proceeds to remind everyone of Tirek who is currently still imprisoned. The Mane Six are later called in to Canterlot for a meeting, leaving Starlight to run the school.
In order to investigate the occurrence, the Mane Six and Spike travel to Tartarus, braving the many threats in the way without their magic. Upon arriving, they find the seal on the prison still intact yet they still go in anyway, meeting up with many depowered monsters. The Mane Six find Tirek still in his cage though he is willing to explain his accomplice, that being Cozy Glow.
Realizing the ruse, the Mane Six try to find a way to get out of the prison through the use of the imprisoned monsters. Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash in particular were tasked with tiring the Cerberus until it is incapacitated in order to acquire its magic.
In the end, they manage to escape and later confront Cozy Glow after her plans were foiled by the Young Six.
====Season 9====
=====The Beginning of the End=====
The Mane Six and Spike rush to Canterlot, only to find that they aren't summoned for an emergency but for an announcement. Princess Celestia and Luna are planning on retiring as well as transferring their powers to Twilight in just a few days, seemingly unaware of how anxious she can be. Her friends try their best to calm her down which works. Little did they know of the horrid scheme behind the scenes involving King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow who had gathered up and are preparing something though the former chooses to split and attack himself.
Later he managed to successfully take over Crystal Empire though the Mane Six later arrive and use the Elements of Harmony against him. With King Sombra dispatched, they return the elements, only to be attacked by him, the Tree of Harmony getting destroyed in the process. With that, the dark unicorn claims early victory and runs off to attack the Crystal Empire again.
Before going however, he decides to trap the Mane Six in a cage. Despite this horrid situation, Twilight remained determined and proceeds to dig a hole out of the cage, her friends joining in. Arriving at Ponyville, they find most of their friends and family under King Sombra's mind control while the Everfree Forest is invading. Luckily Star-Swirl arrives to help with the Everfree Forest problem, allowing the Mane Six to go to Canterlot, only to be overwhelmed and forced to retreat.
Meeting up with Discord, they manage to convince him to reluctantly help them with this problem. They later come back to Canterlot with the draconequus quickly fighting off King Sombra though he is later "defeated". Luckily, he got to tell the Mane Six that they have the power of the elements in them all along which was enough for them to activate its magic on their own, once again ending the dark unicorn and all the problems he has caused.
In the end, Twilight is allowed more time to prepare, revealing Discord's "defeat" to be a ruse all along. They are all unaware of the schemes behind the scenes with the remaining villains agreeing to actually work together.
=====Sparkle's Seven=====
The rest of the Mane Six were briefed by Twilight on their plans to test Shining Armor's security and allow her to win the temporary title of "Sibling Supreme". She gives each of them specific roles with Rarity’s being to make some disguises. However, the white unicorn points out that her plan may be too obvious and decides to brainstorm wacky and unexpected ideas with her friends with she herself being tasked with finding information and then breaking into secret tunnels of the castle.
Later Rarity and Rainbow Dash arrive at a bar to try and get some information, only to find it closed. Luckily, a nearby stallion gives them directions to a tunnel in the castle which is only guarded by one guard. Thankfully said guard had a history with the blue pegasus, prompting the white unicorn to dress her up and send her to distract said guard, much to her dismay.
Once done with the situation, the two regroup in their exploration of the underground tunnels. While they're unable to find a way into the castle, they did find Fluttershy and Spike who have gotten trapped.
Regrouping with the rest of the Mane Six after this failed operation, they finally decide to go with Twilight's original plan with some encouragement from Spike. Rarity later gets past security by disguising herself in their uniform. The group later manages to find the crown though unfortunately, Shining Armor had arrived there first, predicting their ruse.
However as it turns out, Spike had conspired with Princess Luna all along and explains how he was responsible for most of the events in episode. He manages to acquire the crown and in the end, is allowed the title of "Sibling Supreme".
=====She's All Yak=====
After being asked out by Sandbar for the Amity Ball, Yona requires help on pony customs which Rarity offers, explaining how to pronounce words and etiquette. She also calls in her friends to help out which goes well at first. Afterwards, the yak arrives at the event all proper and pony-like... This later goes horribly wrong though it is resolved later.
=====The Last Crusade=====
Rarity joins in alongside the rest of Ponyville's denizens in the Cutie Mark Crusaders' celebration.
=====Between Dark and Dawn=====
Encountering a giant tree-eating turtle in Sweet Apple Acres, the Mane Six attempt to deal with the creature, only for Princess Celestia and Luna to arrive and successfully deal with a threat for once... Took them 9 seasons to do so. With retirement on their way, they can finally go off and actually do things which includes helping others directly.
Luckily Pinkie Pie manages to convince them to go on a holiday with Twilight agreeing to take over the princess duties which includes a celebration for the swans called the "Royal Swanifying" as well as raising the sun and moon. The latter task is usually performed by a group of professionals though the purple alicorn refuses their help, much to her friends' dismay.
They soon realize how difficult the planning is with Twilight finally relenting. The professionals had been appointed their role as even the princesses are unable to perform some tasks all on their own, which includes this ceremony. In the end, they agree to help and successfully complete the ceremony with the purple alicorn learning how to run a kingdom... and then shortly after, she messes up the most important task of a princess.
=====The Last Laugh=====
The rest of the Mane Six were invited to hear out Pinkie Pie's invitation to Cheese Sandwich's Amusement Factory due to her feeling left out by her friends' achievements. After helping him regain his laughter, the pink pony returns to her friends, realizing that she already had what she wanted all along.
=====The Summer Sun Setback=====
Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek are finally getting the hang of working together and decide to try and find instructions on a magic bell they got... in Canterlot, at a restricted section in the library, during Summer Sun Celebration... They have a plan for that and the Mane Six along with Discord are still preparing the celebration. It is however the last Summer Sun Celebration and the pressure is up to make it special.
Rarity and Spike meet up with some unicorns to explain a new routine on their fireworks display. Queen Chrysalis later arrives to ruin all that, causing the unicorns to quit their job alongside other disasters caused by the other villains. Due to this destruction, the Mane Six desperately attempt to cover up this mess and keep Twilight from stressing out.
Eventually Twilight does figure out these issues though she is able to remain calm and with the help of Princess Celestia and Luna, they fix the issues with the celebration. It is also revealed that this is the last Summer Sun Celebration because they're planning on renaming it as the Festival of Two Sisters... It's been 9 seasons since Luna came back.
=====Dragon Dropped=====
Upon meeting up with Spike, Rarity notices that he’s pre-occupied with a letter and even refused an invitation to spend time with her at the gem cave. The white unicorn is particularly worried as the baby dragon never refuses such an offer. Asking Twilight, she simply explains that maybe Rarity had wronged Spike somehow and should apologize. That however is not the case…
Arriving at the post office, Rarity finds that Spike has been bonding with Gabby over various interests and that he had refused the white unicorns offer due to being busy with some activities with the griffon. The two will be busy again, resulting in Rarity being alone for her clothes-shopping activities. At this point, the white unicorn decided she has had enough and begins planning a way to keep the baby dragon to herself.
Some time later, Rarity begins inviting Spike to various fun activities that he particularly enjoys, resulting in him being taken away from Gabby. The first two times she tolerated it though upon checking up on the baby dragon, she finds him playing board games with the white unicorn. Thinking that Spike doesn’t want to hang out anymore, the griffon storms off sadly.
With Gabby gone, Spike can now go along with Rarity’s plans though losing his friend has saddened him greatly. The white unicorn took a while to notice this and Twilight had to intervene to remind her of what she had done. Finally realizing her mistake, Rarity goes to the post office to apologize to Gabby. In the end, the griffon and the baby dragon were able to reconcile and later join the white unicorn at the gem cave.
=====The Ending of the End/The Last Problem=====
The Mane Six arrive at Canterlot for Twilight's celebration to assume Princess Celestia and Luna's roles, unaware of the chaos Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek have brewed up as well as their new powers. Rarity and Fluttershy in particular are off to collect some supplies, only to find the streets largely abandoned. Upon gathering up, they soon realized that this phenomenon is happening all over the city.
Discord later arrives with bad news, that he was the one responsible for the release of the villains and has been posing as Grogar all along as well as the fact that the villains have drained him of his powers. Twilight quickly rallies everyone she can think of in an attempt to fight off the invaders.
Cozy Glow in particular arrives to attack them, managing to dispatch Princess Celestia and Luna before struggling against the Mane Six. The other villains later arrive to help her out, managing to force them to send Twilight away in an attempt to find a way to deal with them.
Upon escaping, they find the pony races in an even more severe state of disharmony before eventually finding Twilight at the Crystal Empire in a state of panic. Her friends comfort her in this daunting moment, allowing her to regain enough resolve to come up with a plan to defeat the villains. They later arrive at an open plain, the Bewitching Bell in sight. While Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie provide a distraction, the rest of them go off to try and retrieve the bell.
After a long-winded battle, they are unfortunately defeated and soon the villains prepare one final attack to finish them off. Upon doing so however, a forcefield appears and shields them from the blast which none of the ponies were responsible for. Looking up at the hills above, they got to see who was responsible for this...
An army of creatures has arrived in their steed, the Young Six managing to convince them to cease their animosity and unite against this common threat. The Mane Six are taken to safety as the villains are assaulted from all sides until Twilight suddenly rises to confront them. With a heartfelt speech on the magic of friendship, she alongside her friends, the Young Six, and the Pillars of Equestria rise to the sky and blast the villains with a magic ray which strips them of their magic.
Discord quickly snatches the bell and recovers everyone's magic before deciding alongside the princesses to imprison the villains in stone. The Mane Six decide to recover from that journey with a trip to the donut shop while Canterlot is repaired, optimistic of the future that is to come.
Due to her rule, Twilight is moved over to Canterlot and forced to leave everything behind... including her friends. They were of very supportive at first and were quite busy with Rarity in particular employing some Star Spiders to sew a ceremonial gown. The purple alicorn eventually breaks down from all the pressure, her friends finally revealing that they all felt the same way. She was glad of this development though the coronation event went horribly wrong with the white unicorn finding her Star Spiders getting beaten up by Fluttershy's animal friends.
Back at the present, Twilight's student Luster Dawn believes that this disaster is what drove her and her friends apart though that is not the case. The rest of the Mane Six soon arrive, having grown up or dealing with new jobs though they still gather up once a moon to keep in touch. As it turns out, the friends were not at all worried about the disaster and Starlight even gives the purple alicorn a book of memories in order to commemorate her times with her friends who were later hired to establish a Council of Friendship.
After a musical montage showing the future, Luster Dawn is sent to Ponyville as the Mane Six watch on, satisfied of this new era...
