Rarity is well-regarded for her generosity. But let's face it, this unicorn isn't always generous. In fact, she can be manipulative and inconsiderate sometimes.

And it's not about that last bundle of asparagus....

I'm a palace guard.

So, my life is pretty dull. All I do is stand around waiting for something I'm guarding to be under threat.

And since that never happens, I gotta find a way to entertain myself.

See that stallion over there? He's searching all of Canterlot for his pants!
