It seems like this episode could've easily played her like that, so I'm glad we didn't get a character who was black and white in that regard.

Fizzbuzz wrote:Great stuff today. I'm really glad that the lesson wasn't about Rarity possibly having to be away from her friends; in fact, the other five all seemed incredibly happy that she was finally getting to do this.

Beaton also happens to be Canadian, where the show is made.

Both results serve two different types of personalities. Up until now, Rarity has always been obsessed with popularity. But now, she sees such fame and success as having a price. True satisfaction comes from knowing--personally and intimately--that each individual client is satisfied with her creations. Arguably speaking, this is an insanely evolutionary leap for her character
Durandal wrote:The thing about Sassy Saddles is that she's a legitimately good marketer and businesspony in her own style. What doesn't make sense to me is the line about her old boutiques failing - if she sold as many dresses as those hundreds of Princess Dresses I would think she'd be a millionaire by now.
SlateSlabrock wrote:The key is that Sassy wasn't paying attention to anything except making sales. She never touched a needle or pulled a single thread; she just piled up hundreds of orders and refused to let Rarity even step out of the back room. If she managed her previous contracts like that, I could see her burning out the ponies doing the real work and not learning a thing from it.
Rarity just happened to be the first one who wrested control back from her.
This interplay between "the element of generosity" and her personality is nothing new, IMO.Durandal wrote:Arguably speaking, this is an insanely evolutionary leap for her character
