Her life.
 
Rarity Mercury was born Feeidha Bulsara.
 
“Feeidha” means “Generous”.
 
She was born in an Equestrian protectorate in a continent containing Zebrica. She was born with four extra teeth that caused her upper lip to bulge a bit, causing her habit to flap her lips now and then. She attended boarding school in Abyssinia before graduating and returning home after secondary school. She her family fled from a revolution happening in her homeland, moving to Middlesix, Equestria. There, she studied and wrote music and attended college in Canterlot, Equestria. Eventually graduating, she was working as a bartender for second-hand clothes with Pinkamena Taylor and the two shared a flat together. Her friends described her as a shy and introvertive individual but very interested in music. She was part of a couple bands that broke up before she met Brianne “Rainbow” May of Smile; Rarity (nickname given during her childhood), convinced the two members to keep playing in the band, impressing them with her incredible four octave range and charisma. She joined eventually, and renamed it Queen. They recruited Joanna “Applejack” Deacon as their bassist.
 
It was then that she started calling herself Rarity Mercury.
 
In the 1970s Queen released their first album. Later, “Killer Queen” won Mercury her first music award. It wasn’t until 1975 that Queen released their smash hit, “Ponhemian Rhapsody” although at the time has recieved mixed reception from contemporary critics, regardless it helped propel the band to universal fame. The band and the song, written by Mercury, defied the conventions of rock and roll for their unique theatrics and Rarity’s bold and daring performances on stage.
 
In the late 70s, Mercury continued to write further hits for Queen including “Don’t Stop Me Now”, “Somepony to Love”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, “Bicycle Race” and the iconic “We are the Champions”.
 
In the 1980s was a time of various things. Queen released their panned album “Hot Space”. Rarity broke up with her boyfriend after revealing her true sexuality and established affairs with other ponies of her gender, before settling with a Canterlot-born hairdresser. She still remained friends with her ex. She also spurred quarrels and disagreememts with the band since the 70s, and she left them sometime early in the 80s to pursue a solo career, recording her only album away from Queen, Mrs. Bad Gal. She eventually reconciled with the band and with them, captivated the grand audiences in the spectacular 1985 Live Aid concert in support of Zebrica.
 
With the AIDS epidemic underway at the time, unfortunately, Rarity was diagnosed with Equine Immunodeficiency Virus (EIV) sometime in 1987, keeping her condition a secret from the public, but until 1989 did not reveal her illness to her bandmates. This condition severly harried her performance in her last years.
 
The band’s last performance was in 1986 in Ponyville. At the time, out of frustration and homesickness being away from her family, Jackie (Deacon’s nickname), throw away her bass as she stormed out of the stage. Queen hasn’t toured ever since but continued to record new songs.
 
Knowing that she is losing her battle to the disease, Rainbow and Pinkamena wrote two more songs about Rarity’s struggles, “The Show Must Go On” and “These Are The Days Of Our Lives”, for their final album together with Mercury, Innuendo, in 1989-91.
 
Retiring in West Canterlot, Rarity’s illness began to worsen, unable to see and leaving her bedridden. She eventually revealed that she has AIDS in a public speech prepared by Queen’s manager, confirming all rumours about Mercury’s health.
 
As a result of AIDS she developed brochopneumonia. Surrounded by her friends and close loved ones, including Queen’s longtime manager, Jim “Fancypants” “Miami” Beach who delivered the statement. She died on the evening of the 24th November, 1991. The news was spread to the world through her parents, who were informed about their daughter’s death by her ex boyfriend.
 
A funeral service was held, attended by 35 of her friends, her family, the remaining members of Queen, and a fellow friend musician. In accordance to her family’s traditions, she was cremated and her ashes are buried by her ex in an undisclosed location. Mercury’s last will gave up most of her shares to her ex, while the remaining few were given to her family.
 
In 1992, a grand concert was held in celebration and tribute to her endearing legacy, featuring the remaining Queen members and various other music stars in attendance covering the band’s songs.
 
In 1997, Jackie Deacon retired from music and public life and hasn’t been in Queen activity ever since.
 
In the 2000s, Queen began to tour again, with aging remaining members Rainbow May and Pinkamena Taylor joing fellow vocalists as they keep Mercury’s spirit live on as they do.
 
She was aged 45 when she passed. And had a little sister whom she nicknamed “Sweetie Belle”.

It very fits these 3 characters for Queen’s lineup. In EG, Pinkie is the drummer, RD the guitarist, and AJ the bassist. Rarity shares Freddie’s tendency to say “darling”, so yeah.

An angry background pony who listens to King Crimson will invade this comment section and trash this album and 80s Queen in general.
 
I hope not.
