Rarity is a fictional character who appears in the fourth incarnation of Hasbro's My Little Pony toyline and media franchise, beginning with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010–2019). She is a close friend of Twilight Sparkle, serving as a core member of the group of main characters collectively known as the Mane Six. She is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain, and her singing voice is provided by Kazumi Evans.

Rarity is depicted as an elegant, sophisticated, and dramatic anthropomorphic unicorn with a passion for fashion design and beauty. She owns and operates the Carousel Boutique in Ponyville, where she creates clothing and accessories. She is characterized by her stylish purple mane, her refined British/trans-Atlantic accent, her meticulous attention to detail, and her occasional melodramatic tendencies. Rarity represents the Element of Generosity in the Elements of Harmony. Despite her preoccupation with appearance, she demonstrates her selflessness toward her friends throughout the series.
