When Rarity broke the glass slipper...

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,695]

I just wanted to say that was a character-making moment for her. We know she's willing to endure great physical and emotional stress for the sake of balancing friendship with fashion (Art of the Dress and Green Isn't Your Color). But at the Gala we also saw that her dignity matters more to her than her social status, in her refusal to put up with Prince Blueblood and--my favorite moment--shattering her glass slipper just in case.

 

I respect her more now than I did before. Did you guys feel the same way?

[Radiance64 7,053]

Yes.

Seeing how awesome Rarity acted in that episode and others in general is a big part of why I became such a big fan of her in the first place.

I finally decided to like Rarity after watching, "A Dog and Pony Show". Who doesn't love the whole whining sequence? I personality didn't see much character developement in the glass slipper incident because she and Blueblood weren't in a relationship for more than an hour at most and she destroyed the slipper because she didn't want to see him ever again. But that scene is hilarious no matter how you look at it.

Uhhhh, *drool, can't really remember that episode but from what you're saying and the tiny scraps of memory I have from it yes she did act very mature, and I can see how that would earn her a lot of respect.

Well, the alternative was just putting the glass slipper back on, or picking it up... Then again, it is just like Rarity to take the more dramatic solution.

I.. Didn't really like a dog and pony show. Having two younger siblings makes people getting annoyed out of their minds by whining hit a little too close to home. The episode that made me like Rarity was Suited for Success. I too enjoyed her smashing her slipper

Who doesn't love the whole whining sequence?

Personally i don't i know it's part of her personality but often times it just annoys the heck outta me.

 

She reminds me of my sister and that's a bad thing......

Although, if it's a glass slipper then wouldn't she be bleeding pretty badly. I don't know about you guys, but when I touch broken glass it cuts me.

[Rarietty 632]

I totally thought Spike would've found it and used duck tape to fix it and would give it to Rarity later, just saying.

 

Either way, I thought it was more of just a comedy-fairy tale parody thing rather than "I have an idea, what if Rarity breaks the slipper to defy Blueblood and it could represent character growth? You know, because kids can understand complicated metaphors!" Hey, if it wasn't just meant to parody Cinderella, I was wrong, but I kind of doubt it.

 

She does get a lot of growth in that episode. All of the mane 6 does, but especially Rarity though when she yells at Blueblood.

Hooves are a little more resilient to that level of crushed glass. That was a key growth moment for Rarity though. It kind of symbolized that she didn't want another stallion to pick it up and be the one -- that she wanted to CHOOSE her mate rather than it being dictated regardless of status.

I really liked the ending of that episode where she had to decide who's party she wanted to go to I actually had no idea which way she'd turn.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

I was wondering why she didn't just put it back on. The shoes have heels on them, and every girl will know what I'm talking about when I say it's very awkward to run while missing 1 shoe.

[The Dark Soul 10]

Maybe she just imagined it was his face or she wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible to eliminate the possibility of him finding it

[SmileForever^.^ 128]

What can I say about Rarity...Well I really like her mane! And i've admired her more after i saw her relationship with her sibling. I also have a younger sister, she is 8 and I'm 17, and our relationship is...well pretty much like this except visa vera

[sweetolebob18 728]

This is an obvious reference to Cinderella, although I'm not sure her sister wants Prince Not-So-Charming either.  Sweetie is too mature for him.

It looked more like a means to make it funny, not really something to think about that much.
