>>33008908 Rarity is a result of her parentage and of Unicorn culture.
Rarity comes from a lower-class Unicorn family that migrated to Ponyville to make a better living among Earth ponies. She isn't content, though, just to be a common dressmaker for Earth ponies. She aims to be an aristocrat, like the Unicorn royalty far above her family's social station.
Unfortunately, in feudal Unicorn society, the only way a common country Unicorn like Rarity could make it into the aristocracy is by marrying into it. Which is why she's on the prowl for ponies like Prince Blueblood. And which is why she puts on such "fancy airs", talking properly, dressing properly, and acting the sophisticate. It's all an act to attract the attention of the Unicorn upper class and hide the fact that she wasn't born one of them.
Yes, Rarity's a gold-digger, but you can't really blame her for it. She's doing what she must, given the society she lives in and the family she was born into. |
