This ship is quite strange to me.
What would be the logic behind it?
What traits does one of them find attractive in the other?
How would their dating and living dynamic work?
At least I admit it's not the weirdest ship of the Mane 6: ApplePie and FlutterPie are weirder imo (in terms of coherence, not popularity)

This is mostly their early characterization, but >Rarity is obsessed with high society and Canterlot culture >Twilight comes from high Canterlot society >Rarity is common but dreams of being noble and high class >Twilight actually is basically a noble and later a princess, but doesn't really care >Both are driven, perfectionist, autistic about their interests >Both are quick-witted and snarky, Twilight in a cynical way and Rarity in a dramatic way >Twilight is an antisocial freak, but independent and confident >Rarity is a social butterfly and good with ponies, but worries excessively about relationships and drama >Twilight helps Rarity stay organized and focused >Rarity helps Twilight get out of her shell >Both calm each other down from their outbursts, both bring the other down to earth >Twilight doesn't understand why somepony as beautiful and popular as Rarity would want to listen to her autistic rambling about obscure books >Rarity doesn't understand why somepony as deep, mysterious, and effortlessly cute as Twilight would bother listening to her shallow gossip and impostor-syndrome personality
