Next in the element swap au; Rarity, the element of Laughter. And her future spouse, Starswirl the Storm Creature!

Rarity wanted ever so much to do something for the school play when she was a filly. The costumes she’d designed just weren’t..... right. And there was no way she’d get a staring role short of a filly suddenly falling deathly ill, and her taking the spot. 

So, for inspiration, she borrowed books on performances from the local library. She found descriptions of many performances through the years.... And found her idea. She found the concept of special effects, and how to perform certain spells in order to make things pop out more. 

The night of the play, she tested out her new spells. And it worked! The play was much more dazzling and eye catching, thanks to her magic!

This is how she got her cutie mark, representing her talent in “show stopping” magic. She is now a show mare, much like Trixie is in the show. But much more humble. She does many shows for children’s parties.

Starswirl came to Ponyville after the Storm King’s defeat, searching for what to do now that their boss was gone. They found a fascination with magic, pony books, knitting.... So many new hobbies were open to them now! (Their personality is like a mix of Fluttershy and Twilight. Nerdy and very quiet and, well, shy) 

They did not, however, have a name when they first arrived. This was because the Storm King did not allow the Storm Creatures to name their young, as it would give them an identity beyond serving him. The mane six help them select a name to set in stone their freedom, and they pick Starswirl. 

Starswirl is Rarity’s number one fan, and they always are in the crowds at her public shows. Starswirl is mute selectively and signs to communicate, but can still talk if absolutely necessary.
