You know, a while back, when I first joined the fandom, I thought up some headcanon for my favorite pony/waifu that I've just been itching to share ever since

Well, it's finally happening!

I've got the free time, a computer, and some energy, so let's do this!

1. Her parents:

Well, we already know Rarity seemed to be born in a working household, not that sweet & elite sophisticated society she dreams of.

In my headcanon, Rarity's parents are very slovenly and hardworking people, like they're portrayed in the show (burnt food, mid-western accent, etc.) They were both very popular in high school, her father being a star athlete for their football team, receiving scholarship offers to go play for all sorts of universities. However, he was brutally injured in his last high school game and all the colleges dropped him off their list, and, since he had put his whole future on sports, he lost it all and had to get a job working at the docks to support himself.

Her mother was his high school sweetheart, and, she managed to go college, planning on becoming a teacher. However, when she became pregnant with Rarity, she dropped out so she could focus on her family and got a job slinging hash at a diner in Ponyville.

Her parents officially married shortly after Rarity was born, and she was the flower filly at their wedding.

2. Rarity Enters The Picture

Rarity was troublesome to raise, naturally; she was a baby who cried a LOT.

The financial situation they had only got worse when Rarity's mother quit her job, as was needed so she could raise her child. The house they lived in grew less and less tidy, and began to borderline on a pigsty.

She developed a great relationship with her mother, but her father desperately wanted a colt to raise to be an athlete. He remained distant for most of her childhood.

Rarity was a also a very intelligent filly, learning at a very accelerated pace compared to others her age.

3. School Starts

Rarity started school, and had an average, yet happy, elementary school experience. She made a few friends with some fillies that were a bit better off than her (but not rich, just JC Penny compared to her Clothing Aisle in Wal-Mart) and always dressed for success. She wasn't always fashionable like her friends, though; as she grew, she became more and more discontent with her slovenly, budgeted family and being so much more plain than the rest.

She would find herself drawing designs for lovely dresses and gowns in the middle of class, often losing focus on the actual schoolwork itself. As her grades started to slip, a rift between her parents and herself began to form. She became more rebellious against them, particularly her mother, since her father was always distant from her.

Despite how many arguments they had gotten in about her grades, she kept drawing those designs, and put her heart and soul into daydreaming about what she ever so desired but just couldn't have.

She wanted to be beautiful, and she wanted to dress nice; but not being able to have those two things created a burning fire inside of her to one day get what she couldn't have.

4. Sweetie Belle Enters the Picture

Rarity got her first sewing machine along with some startling news: her mother was going to have another child.

Now, at first, Rarity was fine with this. However, as time progressed, her mother and the child required more attention, creating a lack of attention for her.

Rarity became jealous; she felt like the ignored, red-headed step-child of the family; the black sheep, if you will. In a sense, it was true; while her parents still cared about her, she was neglected in terms of attention, given almost none, if any at all.

She would often retreat into her room and work on making her designs come into fruition; she began beautifying her mane, putting on make-up and false eyelashes, and, as time grew on, her designs grew to become more and more acceptable for wearing in public, which she did; and by this point, she was no longer turning heads, but snapping necks as she walked by the stallions in her school.

When Sweetie Belle was being delivered, she got her first taste of the real fashion world in the waiting lobby in terms of a fashion magazine. She saw that this was her dream; she was going to be a fashion designer. She saw how these designers who made it in the business were thrusted into the high-life that was so different than the tightly-budgeted, slovenly, middle-class home she lived in.

She began just giving away the outfits and ensembles she made for no charge whatsoever, and people around began taking notice of that.

Still a blank flank, she volunteered to make the costumes for her school's yearly pageant, but, of course, we all know how that turned out...

Well, that was part 1 of my Rarity headcanon

I did this in my computer class, and as I was furiously typing, a friend was standing behind me and said "Wow, Riley, you have no life." (You could tell he was joking )

I proudly exclaimed "Nope. Not anymore "

*A-HEM*

Well, I hope y'all found this to be a nice read or whatever, and I'll be publishing the other half to it when I can, because, you know how I can go on and on and on about my waifu

See y'all around!
