I'd need to see Gone with the Wind first and I haven't been given motive yet besides "It's great" and "Rarity would like it" and that second one dissuades me.

Just to toss this out here, my headcanon is that, as a child, she wanted to be a famous fashion designer, so she learned to mimic the Canterlot (British) accent.

Sweetie Belle is not amused.

@Ginger: You can confirm for us whether or not Rarity speaks with a bad British accent.

Rarity's accent isn't any type of British I'm familiar with, though one of our UK bronies might be better suited to answer that.

Hm... I really have nothing to contribute to this conversation, as I see them all as white (with the exception of Dash, who strikes me as Greek). Call it a fault of my upbringing, but the fact that all the voice actresses are Caucasian also skews my auditory perspective.

Can you think inside the chimney?

#99182 Sydxelia Fri, 17th Feb '12 5:52:39 PM

I always thought it was more of a New England poshy accent for Rarity.

I've lived in New England all my life, and I've never heard anyone who sounds like Rarity.

Pronounced "Sid-zellia"

@Ginger - my whole seeing twilight as african-american came from browsing pictures and seeing her humanized as one. I thought she was really cute now its stuck that way

#99184 crowlover Fri, 17th Feb '12 5:53:05 PM

@Bluespade Or, if so, get more specific about which British accent

Hair colors, eh? Pinkie's brunette, Rarity has black hair, Twilight has dark brunette, Applejack's blonde, Rainbow Dash has black hair, and Fluttershy is blonde.

This is assuming nopony dyes their hair.

I cannot confirm that. All I know is that Rare has "an accent" Not sure which though

I wanna see a pony with a welsh accent though

@ Fallen

Yeah...Twi's a raven haired beauty and Rarity is...blonde?

I would have thought brunette.

#99189 Bluespade Fri, 17th Feb '12 5:54:34 PM from Texas

So what we can all agree on is that Rarity sounds generically foreign?

I have to admit, I hate most British accents.

Welsh is ok.

@Sky Strike, Considering her parents are so obviously Canadian/Minnesotan, she probably is using fake accent.

Syd, where from New England are you from? I've never met anyone who sounds like Rarity, but her 'normal' voice is rather similar to my native Massachusetts accent.

@Mousa What about Sweetie? Where's her accent?

I don't think Rarity's accent is British.

We have a lot of them though so I'm not certain.

Isn't it one of those fake accents that nobody really has?

@Ginger: She actually has a fairly neutral American accent, which is understandable.

I have to admit, I hate most British accents.

I have something to confess...they all sound the same to me (but equally cool to me) **runs**

@Apple Brunnete would work better I agree

@Bluespade I love most British accents (Went to a British school in Egypt for 2.5 years, try wrapping your head around that one) but the moment I watched Torchwood I thought "Dear god, these Welsh people can't speak a lick of English, and what is that inflection!?" And then it grew on me.

@Ginger, It's generic American.

What about Sweetie? Where's her accent?

Rarity's 'accent' is definitely an affectation, so Sweetie wouldn't have one unless she was imitating her sis.
