G5 Rarity
G5 Rarity is a G5 My Little Pony first introduced in 2021.
Many moons ago, the unicorn Rarity was a Guardian of Friendship who represented the element of Generosity. Once a shining symbol of a united Equestria, now she is nothing but a legend whose story is passed down by the few that believe in it.
Unliked most examples of reused names in My Little Pony, G5 Rarity is intended in-universe to be the same character as G4 Rarity.

Rarity is a historical figure and the same Rarity from G4 that lived in Equestria many moons before G5's story began. Sunny Starscout's father, Argyle Starshine, told her stories of Rarity and the other Mane 6 when she was a filly, and they were some of the only ponies who believed in her existence before the end of My Little Pony: A New Generation. Rarity makes a cameo appearance at the beginning of A New Generation as an imaginary character in the game Sunny, Hitch Trailblazer and Sprout Cloverleaf play as foals. Sunny has a wooden toy of Rarity made by her father.
She appears in a flashback story told by Discord in the IDW comics using her design from The Last Problem. She makes another brief appearance in a single panel of The Storm of Zephyr Heights Issue #3 as an example of unicorns not being able to walk on clouds.
In the My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale episode Misty-rious New Room, a stained glass window of the G4 Mane 6, including Rarity, defeating Nightmare Moon can be seen.
