I'm just going to blog this list out, the list I use when I defend Rarity in the Show Discussion sub-forum, so I can just link this over there and not take 6000 characters of space up by posting this behemoth

 

Also, if this gets bumped to the top, I was fixing it up since the site crashed and took this down with it. Sorry if it does.

 

Rarity is Generous:

 

S01E01: Friendship is Magic

 

Gives Twilight a free makeover after Rainbow Dash messed up her mane.

 

S01E02: Friendship Is Magic

 

Cuts off her tail to give a monster or something the missing half of his mustache.

 

S01E11: Winter Wrap Up

 

After Twilight did a horrible job making a nest, she spent all of her time trying to fix her friend's mistake, putting her horribly behind quota.

 

S01E14: Suited For Success

 

Made all of her friends dresses for the gala free of charge, and they kept complaining about how they looked and how they wanted them to look, which made her dresses look horrible in front of some huge name in the fashion business.

 

S01E16: Sonic Rainboom

 

When Twilight wanted to try out a new spell that she had never done before and warned it could have possible side effects if botched, Rarity readily subjects herself to the spell, so she can go cheer on Rainbow Dash at her flying competition.

 

S01E20: Green isn't Your Color

 

Keeps quiet about her jealousy of Fluttershy's newfound fame in the fashion business, something she had been trying to accomplish before the show even started. After Fluttershy stumbles and trips on the runway and the crowd turns against her, Rarity begins cheering to save her friend, despite feeling it should've been her making it big instead of Fluttershy.

 

S01E25: A Party of One

 

Purposely ruins her mane, which she's extremely proud of, in order to keep Pinkie's surprise party a secret.

 

S02E05: Sisterhooves Social

 

After making a mistake in the way she took care of her sister, she hid IN MUD in order to complete a race with her sister for forgiveness, when all and all, it was just siblings fighting over trivial matters, like EVERY siblings do.

 

S02E08: Mysterious Mare Do Well

 

Makes 4 costumes for her friends to wear in their mission of bringing a borderlining on narcissism Rainbow Dash back down to earth.

 

S02E09: Sweet & Elite

 

When it came down to it, she chose her unsophisticated Ponyville friends over the Canterlot Ponies, who she had dreamt of fitting in with.

 

S02E10: Secret of My Excess

 

Spares the feelings of a horny baby dragon who stole half of the city and kidnapped her, even going as far to kiss him on the cheek.

 

S02E14: The Last Roundup

 

Rides a damn whatever you call that thing all the way back to Ponyville with an extremely repetitive Pinkie Pie due to Rainbow Dash's negligence.

 

S02E19: Putting Your Hoof Down

 

Tries helping Fluttershy learn how to stand up for herself, and welcomes Fluttershy back after she attacks her dreams.

 

S02E21: Dragon Quest

 

Attempts to stand up for Spike when the other 5 laugh at his apron. Creates a huge costume so RD, Twilight and herself could follow him to make sure he was alright. Stands directly behind Rainbow Dash's flank the entire time they're hiding, without complaining. Prepares to fight dragons in yet another attempt to stand up for Spike.

 

S02E25: A Canterlot Wedding

 

Makes a ton a fricken' dresses for the wedding, free of charge.

 

S03E01: The Crystal Empire

 

In order to buy time for Twilight, makes a bunch of hats and shit out of hay and straws. Does a very good job at it, I might add.

 

S03E12: Games Ponies Play

 

Takes the extremely difficult job of preparing Cadence's mane in the intricate detail it had to be done in, with only 15 minutes of time left. Also does a good job.

 

(Note: Rarity got screwed in Season 3. I assure you Season 4 will be different.)

 

Equestria Girls:

 

Makes dressed for them to all wear to the dance free of charge. Helps clean up the gym so Twilight could when the crown that night, despite hating messes. After Sunset Playdough-Hair ruins Twilight's reputation, tries helping Twilight go incognito until it can be fixed. Share her idea and Wondercolt's costume with the rest to change Twilight's horrid reputation.

 

S04E03: Castle Mane-ia

 

Fights through cobwebs, dirt, ghouls, and other stuff she's grossed out by all to restore the ancient tapestries that would hardly increase her fame at all, and would land her 0 bits. All out of appreciation for the old times and their art; that's pretty generous to be willing to go through so much and work so hard and get very little out of the end, all to show appreciation.

 

S04E08: Rarity Takes Manehattan

 

Huge tip(s) to the bellhop, lends rival designer a whole spool of beautiful, one-of-a-kind fabric (not wise, but certainly generous) fixes a taxi cab, buys Spike a Carrot Dog, gives the grumpy cat pony a flower...almost the whole episode is her being generous.

 

From Vocabulary.com:

 

 

Generosity is a quality that's a lot like unselfishness — someone showing generosity is happy to give to or share time, money, food, or whatever with others.

Generosity is a quality — like honesty and patience — that we all probably wish we had more of. When you show generosity, you might give away things or money or put others before yourself. But generosity is about more than cash and stuff. When you're forgiving and gentle to people, you show generosity of spirit. If you give others help or credit, that shows generosity. The world would certainly be a better place if more people showed generosity to others.

 

That's a lot of good deeds. If you expect the ponies to represent their elements every episode, and if you dislike them for not doing so, you should really only be a Twilight and a Pinkie fan, in my opinion.

 

Rarity is vain

 

RD is cocky

 

Twilight is horribly OCD

 

Pinkie is Socially Imbalanced and doesn't function correctly when she's alone.

 

Fluttershy is the opposite of Pinkie Pie, but still equally socially imbalanced

 

AJ is stubborn and set in her ways.

 

Flaws make great characters; that's why people hate Mary-Sues Think about how else you'd want Rarity to be when she's "too vain."

 

Love of Fashion:

 

Yes, I've seen this be a reason before.

 

Hating Rarity for being into fashion is just dumb.

 

That's like hating RD for wanting to be a Wonderbolt, Pinkie Pie for wanting people to smile, Fluttershy for animals, Twilight for books, or hating AJ for Apples. Just crazy, man.

 

Don't hate someone for something they love, unless it harms other people.

 

Which, fashion doesn't.

 

Unrelatable:

 

I understand how relating to a character can make you like them more, but not relating to something and hating it for that reason isn't understandable.

 

Hating Rarity for not being relatable to you is like "She's different than me. I don't like her for that."
