Will they ever go anywhere with Rarity?

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Okay now, first of all, this is mostly a rant so if you are not up for it then you still have time to stop reading and leave.
 
Ahem..
 
Seeing how far the show has gone and watching all the characters grow has really made me wonder why Rarity has had almost no character development and has slowly been reduced to be even more one dimensional comic relief character. Her job seems to be just overreacting to everything and wearing dresses.  
The gift of the Maud Pie -episode again showed that Rarity is almost like an extra cahracter that follows others around. Oh hey let’s make her have many funny faces yeah. Oh! Oh! Now let’s make her randomly bounce around like a ball.
 
Her character development seems to be completely dependant on Sweetie Belle. Their interaction brings some more depth into Rarity as well but there hasn’t been that much of it. Not to mention that some growth has also been taken back later like when Rarity seemingly learns to appreciate Sweetie Belle more and take her feeligns in consideration as well only to later forgetting all that and telling Sweetie how she doesn’t care about her interests and then making Sweetie carrying all her stuff when they go camping too.  
Some people say they find Pinkie Pie annoying and too loud and now I kinda understand them. The difference is that I feel that way towards Rarity. I don’t like her loud whining and screaming when she finds something she doesn’t like or thinks is uncouth.
 
For a longest time now, every time Rarity comes on screen, I don’t expect anything else to happen than showing a dress she is wearing or loudly complaining or overreacting. There is a small hope that maybe something else will happen but that glimpse of hope just keeps getting smaller.  
Other ponies have done quite remerkable feats during the seasons we’ve had. Rarity’s biggest one still is escaping her kidnappers by being really loud and annoying…
 
Mane 6 portrays many different kinds of personalities so naturally there had to be one that is more like what we saw in older pony cartoons. A girl who liks fashion and pretty things. It’s not a complete miss but they just failed to make her interesting. Even when talking to some Rarifans, I’ve noticed many of them taking stuff from the fanom when describing Rarity. Showing that many of them too can’t settle with her canon characterization.
 
I had to get this stuff off my chest.
 
I haven’t seen any upcoming episodes synopsis and don’t know what is coming but I really do hope the next Rarity episode won’t be another dress related problem one.
 
Please feel free to add your point of view and also try not to turn this into a shitfest. although I feel in this place, it’s hard to avoid

I would say her character development is mostly dependent on her fashion business than Sweetie Belle.

When did Rarity say that she didn’t care about Sweetie’s interests?

Oh man I agree. She was a massive third wheel in the last episode with her and pinkie.
 
You could remove Rarity and the episode would almost be the exact same. Honestly she did absolutely nothing as the story had no focus on her.
 
Did some great work back in S4 though with her and Suri
 
See what I was hoping for in the episode was more Suri/Rarity action
 
Like them fighting over getting the place to sell her clothes
 
Rarity just randomly got the place OFF SCREEN.
 
and you are right, her current motivation seems to be solely on Sweetie Belle, otherwise she seems to not really progress as much or at all compared to the other mane 5

I may have worded that part rather poorly. She didn’t say it outright but after earlier learning to care about Sweetie Belle’s interests more in Sisterhooves Social, none of this seemed to carry over in Sleepless in Ponyville where she once again wanted things to happen on her own terms, disregarding what Sweetie wanted.
