[[caption-width-right:158:''Yes yes, I'm happy even if third. Because I'm a commoner.'']]

* [[CopebyPretending Cope by Pretending]]: [[spoiler:In-game Nature is a cynical girl who refers to herself as an extra who can't be a protagonist. It seems that she abandons all of her ambition, but both her personal and training story reveals she is pretending it to avoid potential frustration.]]

* {{Claustrophobia}}: Like her real-life counterpart, she hates enclosed spaces like the starting gate before a race. In one scene, she has to be pushed into the starting gate by a race staff member.

-> A prideful and stubborn horsegirl who has the strong determination to be first-class. Her mother is a first-rate fashion designer and a former racer who has won 11 G1 races.[[note]]The real King Halo's sire was Dancing Brave, the winner of four G1s, including the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and his dam was Goodbye Halo, who won seven G1s. {{Creator/Cygames}} summed up number of their G1 wins.[[/note]] While she seems spoiled and haughty, she is a caring one. King Halo is a roommate of Haru Urara and one of the Golden Generation.

-> The real King Halo was a racehorse who raced from 1997 to 2000. His brilliant pedigree made many expect of him much, and he didn't let them down until 1998. In the 1998 Classics, they called King Halo "The Big Three" with Special Week and Seiun Sky. However, while Seiun Sky won the Satsuki Sho and Kikka Sho, and Special Week won the Japanese Derby, he won none of the Classics. When he won the Tokyo Shimbun Hai and the Nakayama Kinen, his team considered mile-distance races were for him, but then suffered a crushing defeat in the Yasuda Kinen. Next year, his team tried him in the February Stakes and the Takamatsunomiya Kinen. They are mile-distance dirt and short-distance turf races, respectively. He bit the dust miserably in the former but "beat all" prominent sprinters in the latter, winning his first and only G1 victory. He retired after the same year's Arima Kinen and started his career as a studhorse, producing many racehorses, including Kawakami Princess. He died of old age in 2019.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Both the season 1 [=OVA=] and chapter 3 of the game's main story are this to them.

* HopelessBossFight: [[spoiler:Her last training goal is the senior Arima Kinen, the long-range turf G1 race. Since her base aptitudes focus on short-range dirt races, she usually loses miserably. Luckily, you don't have to win this race. Thanks to [[NewGamePlus the inheritance system]] of this game, you can tweak her aptitudes and let her win the Arima Kinen after endless grinding.]]

* HopelessBossFight: [[spoiler:Her last training goal is the senior Arima Kienen, the long-range turf G1 race. Since her base aptitudes focus on short-range dirt races, she usually loses miserably. Luckily, you don't have to win this race. Thanks to [[NewGamePlus the inheritance system]] of this game, you can tweak her aptitudes and win this race after much grinding.]]

* CripplingOverspecialization: In the video game, she has the highest natural rating for dirt races[[note]]Taiki Shuttle, Oguri Cap, and El Condor Pasa has passable dirt ratings, but still lower than their turf rating[[/note]]. Unfortunately, this is balanced by an absolute worst rating for turf races, which are more abundant and tend to give better rewards.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Perhaps even bordering LethalJokeCharacter. Her unaltered distance preference in the game is excellent (A) in Short[[note]]up to 1400 m[[/note]] races and good (B) in Mile[[note]]1401 to 1800 m[[/note]] races, but she greatly prefers the Betweener[[note]]the widely accepted translation of 差し (lit. ''sashi'', insertion); in-game this manifested as running slower than three-forths of the other competitors for about half the race before speeding up[[/note]] tactic. This combination frequently causes her to lose races by either being bogged down by racers in front of her or simply running out of distance to race (especially in short races). To thrive with Haru Urara the player needs quite an effort (mainly in the form of preference & growth tweaking via the legacy system, unlocking and taking relevant skills, choosing suitable races where she can make good use of her abilities, and carefully maintaining her condition) as well as a bit of RNG luck.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: With the release of Smart Falcon in the game, her main schtick of being the best natural[[note]]El Condor Pasa, Oguri Cap, and Taiki Shuttle are naturally B-ranked in dirt, but raising that rank into A usually entailed getting inheritance from Haru Urara, seriously hamstringing compatibility for further inheritance down the line[[/note]] dirt horsegirl available in the game pretty much ended right there. She is a competent dirt racer when raised right, but that's pretty much it.

* FriendlyRivalry: Her roommate, Oguri Cap, and other friends, including Tamamo Cross and Inari One, are also her rivals.

-> '''Voiced by''': Aya Yamane

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:If she wins the Japanese Derby in her in-game training story, she unilaterally refuses journalists to take her pictures and walks out after the race. Because she doesn't want crying Special Week is caught on their cameras.]]

** [[spoiler:If she wins the Japanese Derby in her training story, her mother calls her. King Halo answers the phone with expectation, but her mother devalues her victory as a fluke and criticizes her attitude during the interview.]]

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:In her in-game training story, in the classic Arima Kinen, Seiun Sky realizes Grass Wonder is better than she thought and gets nervous. Then she participates in the classic Spring Tenno Sho and the senior Takarazuka Kinen to check her rivals. After the two races, she concludes that her more talented friends will be better than she can someday, being devastated.]]

* CheatersNeverProsper: A photo-finish catches her cheating in the eating contest, disqualifying her.
* FriendlyRivalry: Her profile describes her as a good friend and rival to Oguri Cap.

* TeamMom: Since her family runs a day nursery, Creek became good at caring for others, especially her trainer, Oguri, Tamamo, and her roommate Taishin. Her profile describes her as a motherly type that dotes on younger girls, too.

* CharacterCatchphrase: "I give you the right to _______ me."

** This even extends to one of her support cards. You can get a lot of stats from it... ''if you're lucky.''

* OverlyLongName: Despite only being one word.[[note]]Under standard romanization rules, it'd be three words: "Matikane Fuku Kitaru". The reason it isn't so is because of the usual 18-character limit for romanized names of real life racing horses.[[/note]]

* TrashOfTheTitans: She keeps so many mystical items in her room. In Fukukitaru's personal story, her tower of collections collapses over her poor roommate. After that accident, her trainer eventually keeps her items.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As Team Canopus's trainer. When his charges want to do something for Teio, he instantly comes up with a plan to make it happen.

* FragileSpeedster: [[spoiler:Her in-game training story reveals her legs are fast but fragile. She likens them to a poor body with an excellent engine.]]

* MeaningfulName: Her name is based of a figurative faster-than-light particle, hence her scientist theme.

* BackInTheSaddle: [[spoiler:In Manhattan Cafe's in-game training story, she quits racing after the Satsuki Sho and becomes Manhattan Cafe's adviser. However, later, she returns and participates in the senior Arima Kinen as Cafe's rival.]]

* SweaterGirl: This helps emphasize her 'assets'.
