History FanFic / TheKillerRarityverse

* InfantImmortality: Zig-zagged. Rarity's first set of victims is a trio of schoolyard bullies and she has no problem with killing foals at first, but after a botched attempt at murdering [[spoiler:Scootaloo]], she decides to [[WouldntHurtAChild never hurt foals again]].

The sequel, ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/50848/the-public-life-of-sweetie-belle The Public Life of Sweetie Belle]]'' picks up right where The Secret Life of Rarity leaves off but from Sweetie Belle's perspective. She is forced to deal with the fallout of Rarity's actions. Many ponies around town suspect that she will follow in the hoofsteps of her sister, despite the fact that she shows no desire to do so. The story spans about twenty-five years and results in Sweetie Belle eventually having a daughter out of wedlock named Joyous Blossom. Much like her mother, Blossom, as she is called, is under suspicion that she will follow in Rarity's hoofsteps but once again she shows no desire to do so, even when confronted with bullies.

* KnightTemplar: Slightly averted as Rarity frequently states that she's probably going to pony hell (Tartarus) but beyond that she feels that she's doing the community and her friends a favor by killing nasty ponies.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Rarity. She starts because she was forced to commit an accidental self-defense murder and gets a taste for it. By the end of the story she hates that she has no power over her addiction and it's to the point where she doesn't even enjoy killing anymore. Not like she used to anyway.

* TeamKiller: Rarity comes dangerously close to killing Applejack and Twilight upon first meeting them and even after becoming friends with them she still has a vision of killing [[spoiler:Twilight]] (it's also mentioned that she's had visions of killing [[spoiler:the other members of the Mane Six]] and contemplates murdering [[spoiler:Fluttershy during [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown her brief stint as a]] {{Jerkass}}]]

A second alternate ending, ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/131045/a-shadow-hangs-overhead A Shadow Hangs Overhead]]'' is in progress, splitting off from the main story during Rarity's first kill, and she is caught immediately.

The final story in the trilogy, and the one that was completed not too long ago, is ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81010/broken-blossom Broken Blossom]]'' and once again it picks up pretty much where the preceding book left off. Blossom is left alone to deal with the fallout that came from the ending of The Public Life of Sweetie Belle and it details her life under the watchful eyes of the Royal Sisters. The story ends with [[spoiler: her being executed, and seeing Diamond Tiara, Fire Ruby and Golden Necklace in Paradise.]]

The original story, ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/40334/the-secret-life-of-rarity The Secret Life of Rarity]]'', is the book in the series that follows Rarity and her actions from the time she begins killing, and why, until the beginning events of its sequel. It is by far the most violent story in the entire series as it is the one that details Rarity's murders, leaving little to the imagination. Rarity's preferred method of murder is with the use of various sharp knives and she is quite skilled with them. Eventually though she begins to lose what little sanity she has left and she begins to betray even her own twisted set of morals. The story ends with [[spoiler: her execution by lethal injection after she is finally caught by the royal guards.]]
