Nosfurarity was the Vampire Pony form of Rarity, assumed in order to battle the Living Apples who sought to conquer Equestria.

Personality and traits

Nosfurarity is very similar in appearance to Rarity but has bat wings, tufted ears, red eyes, and fangs. She wears a black cape with red lining and a white lace ruff at the color with a diamond shaped broach. Her cutie mark also changes so that instead of three diamonds, it consists of three stylized open mouths with vampire fangs.

Behind the scenes

Nosfurarity's name is a play on nosferatu, the Romanian word for vampire; Nosferatu is also the title an infamous black-and-white vampire film. Despite being named for Count Orlok, her design has more in common with traditional depictions of Dracula, that is, wearing regal attire and having a royal demeanor. Ironically, Orlock was initially supposed to be Dracula, but due to copyright laws, his name had to be changed.

"...But Spike, don't you want to be my king? Forever...then you will serve me, and only me." — Rarity to Spike

"Queen Rarity" was an alter-ego and disguise taken up by Nightmare Rarity in order to trick Spike into abandoning his friends. While Spike was on his way to rescue is friends from the clutches of Nightmare Rarity and the creatures of the Moon, he was stopped by Queen Rarity, who wished to seduce Spike with promises of love and a royal life. While Spike truly wanted her affection and dreamed of marrying her, he knew saving his friends were more important and quickly realized that the alterego was a fraud.

Appearance

Queen Rarity's appearance is virtually identical to that of Rarity, only adorned in a variety of regal ware.

Personality

Although Queen Rarity appeared to be sweet and good-natured like the original Rarity, she was in actuality manipulative and callous, not caring for any of Rarity's friends and tossed them aside. Essentially, Queen Rarity was just a front for Nightmare Rarity and thus has much of her personality, that of being cruel and uncaring.
