Comment on Pony POV Series Dark World Pt 12 Family Reunion by alexwarlorn
I'm sorry, I like this chapter, it's a nice change of pace from all the grimdarkness, but the naming of Rarity throughout this seems inconsistent, which bugs me.
In the first part, (Twilight's POV) she thinks of her as Rarigreed, yet calls her Rarity, but also thinks of her as Rarity sometimes.
(Disregard the following instances if there is anything special about the name changing and I wasn't clever enough to find the reason.)
"Rarigreed wanting to be straight like friends should if we were really going to bring Apple Pie into our circle of friends. Of course Spike agreed with Rarity."
""What?" Rarigreed blinked at her.
AJ citing 'Cleanliness is next to Alicornish' and Rarity looking a mess and not even noticing it?"
"Forgot Rarity wasn't the only one who hadn't had a bath for a thousand years! She may have even been MORE filthy than Rarigreed thanks to the sweat of a thousand years march, and going through whatever it happened to be raining at any given moment Twenty-Four/Seven for the last thousand years, which was rarely water."
The bath scene.
I would find more, but real life calls for me

She FREELY changes between the two. The same way between AJ and Applejack.
Okay, now I get it, it's a nickname.
Still kinda bugs me because whereas AJ is a cute way of abbreviating a name, Rarigreed seems less like a cute name and more of a cruel reminder that she was a servant of Discord.
But maybe that's just me.

She's unique from AJ and Twilight that way.
Yeah, she's embraced her inner greed and that's what helped her get her Element of Harmony.
The free interchange is intentional.
