You know why I like Rarity? Well let me tell you.
As someone who writes for a living, and uses writing as a creative outlet, I find Rarity to be a very relateable character.
Rarity has a dream. She wants to be a fashion designer in Canterlot. She has the skills to make that dream happen.
But things hold her back. Herself. Her generosity. Her dramatic everything.
Part of being creative is the critique you get. You can love your own work, you can think you did an amazing, stellar job, but your public will hate it. After all "All we really like is what we know".
It's hard trying to be creative. It's harder when you're a nobody and no one supports you. You may have talent, but you're stuck in some random town trying to carve out a living. You may be the son of a CEO, but have no ambition or talent.
And she's funny. Drama is funny. I have this every so veeeery slight tendency to be the tiniest bit dramatic.
Relateability is an important aspect in a character. Pinkie may be my second favorite of the main cast, but she isn't that relateable.
Neither is Fluttershy. Sorry, she's cute and I love her, but she's very one dimensional.
