16	----
17
18	* TheAce: The most promising up-and-comer from Team Rigil.
19	* AffectionateNickname: Referred to as "El".
20	* AnimalMotifs: Condor, of course. She calls Mambo a condor for this.
21	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler: After suffering her first defeat, she promises to get revenge on Suzuka next time. She ''does'' win in their next race....but only because Suzuka breaks her leg mid-race. El is devastated that she won at the cost of her friend being injured]].
22	* BeneathTheMask: El Condor Pasa without her mask is timid. Yes. The confident, passionate, and energetic girl you usually see is the gimmick of a wrestler.
23	* CoatCape: She wears a long-sleeved, red coat with fringe over her shoulders like a cape.
24	* CoolMask: She wears one even when in uniform, resembling the Blinker Hoods worn by horses.
25	* CommutingOnABus: To France (it was probably an [[{{Pun}} Airbus]]), because that is where the real horse went. She makes occasional appearances, with the others watching her televised race or taking phone calls from her.
26	* ForeignExchangeStudent: She originally hails from America, and transferred to Japan in order to further her racing career.
27	* FriendlyRivalry: She considers Silence Suzuka and Special Week her greatest rivals, and is a good friend to them both.
28	* GratuitousEnglish: She uses it all the time, but then, [[JustifiedTrope she is American]].
29	* GratuitousSpanish: In the game, she uses more Spanish words than English since her real-life counterpart was named after a Peruvian folk song.
30	* HiddenDepths: Lampshaded in the game - she often seems impulsive and not very thoughtful, but you don't get to learn three-and-a-half languages without having at least ''something'' between (or, in this case, below) your ears.
31	-->'''El Condor Pasa:''' Japanese, English, and Spanish...You have to speak foreign languages to run abroad. I'm learning French now!
32	* ImageSong: "L's Surprise!"
33	* MaskOfConfidence: The game reveals that she was originally a timid Main/ShrinkingViolet until her father gifted her the mask. The resulting confidence is evident in pretty much all of her appearances.
34	* NoAnimalsAllowed: El has a hawk named Mambo, whom she has been with since childhood. When she entered Tracen, she came with him. Since no animals are allowed in the dormitory, it is a secret between El and her roommate Grass Wonder.
35	* PoirotSpeak: See GratuitousEnglish.
36	* RedOniBlueOni: The hot-blooded, enthusiastic, impulsive Red Oni to her roommate Grass Wonder's Blue. Their friendship comes into focus in the game's training mode.
37	* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: El Condor participates in events that her real counterpart did not, for the sake of drama.
38	* MaskedLuchador: Has a bit of this as a motif. Not only does she wear a mask, her summoning animation in the game has her leaping off a wrestling ring.
39	** Her in-game personal story reveals that her father is a MaskedLuchador.
40	* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: She trolls Spe-chan in this fashion when the latter asks her for a greeting phrase during the Japan Cup.
41	* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler: She beats Silence Suzuka in the Tenno Sho...but only because the other girl broke her leg mid-race]]. El Condor looks utterly devastated holding her trophy.
42	* RedBaron: "Monstrous Bird"
43	* TheRival: To Special Week, who she declares her rival after seeing the other girl's race.
44	* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: She takes it very hard when she doesn't win a race, crying in frustration. That she lost to the likes of [[spoiler: [[FastestThingAlive Silence Suzuka and Broye]]]] doesn't ease her mind.
45	* SpiritedCompetitor: While she takes losing hard, she's happiest when facing a truly challenging opponent.
46	* ToBeAMaster: Her goal is to be the best in the world.[[note]]The real El Condor Pasa is considered one of the best Japanese racehorses that participated in the European race.[[/note]]
47	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hot sauce. [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Really hot sauce.]]
48	* UnconventionalSmoothie: Sometimes she mentions it in the in-game lobby. This one contains [[RawEggsMakeYouStronger raw eggs]], protein powder, chicken breasts, and habaneros. El has to hold her nose while drinking it.
49	* NumberOneDime: Her mask is from her father.

69	* OurFounder: She has a statue outside the stadium, as seen by Special Week when she first arrives in Tokyo.
70	* PungeonMaster: In the game, she ''loves'' puns and would make one given the chance. Her fondness even extends towards pun-related goods, from books to ''T-shirts''!
71	* RedBaron: "Emperor".
72	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The head of the student council and is as responsible as it goes.
73	* StudentCouncilPresident: She is the current President of Tracen's student council.
74	* TeamDad: Her overall demeanor and personality basically makes her this towards Team Rigil, and to an extent, the whole academy (as she is the student council president).
75	* TerribleArtist: She might be a racing champion, but an artist she's definitely not, as proven with a poster she drew to promote a race for the Harvest festival.

84	----
85
86	* DoesNotLikeMen: In her original bio, she was stated to dislike men as a result of something that happened at a past race[[note]]The real horse had a reputation for apparently not liking male handlers, while the past race is most likely a reference to 1997 Japan Cup, which featured a quite... [[https://old.reddit.com/r/UmaMusume/comments/mkoznx/today_46_is_the_birthday_of_air_groove_dont/gtntu4v/ embarassing incident]] ('''borderline NSFW!'''))[[/note]]. However, this was removed some time before she was implemented in-game.
87	* FacialMarkings: She wears red liner around her eyes, in the classical Japanese style associated with Geisha and courtesans.
88	* FashionableAsymmetry: Her formal racing outfit is styled this way, with mismatching colors and stockings.

90	* ImageSong: "EMPRESS GAME"
91	* IronLady: Strict, dignified, and no-nonsense, she fits this trope to a T.
92	* NumberTwo: To Rudolf.
93	* RedBaron: "Empress".
94	* ThoseTwoGuys: Usually seen with TM Opera O.
95	* TeamMom: In contrast with Rudolf being the TeamDad, she's the strict but actually caring mother figure of the academy.

102	-> '''Birthday:''' February 18th.
103	-> '''Height:''' 152cm (4' 11")
104	-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/RenaMaeda
105	A gentle, calm, and virtuous horse girl from America. As her parents love Japanese traditional culture, she has grown up as a Yamato Nadeshiko who is good at Chado, flower arrangement, calligraphy, Japanese traditional dance, and Naginatajustsu. You might think she is meek. But there are competitive spirit and willpower beneath her smile. She is often categorized as the Golden Generation with her peers.
106	----
107
108	* BackInTheSaddle: Midway through the series, she's fully recovered and eager to reclaim her former glory. She quickly establishes herself as one of Special Week's biggest rivals.
109	* BattleAura: When she gets truly serious, she shows a blue-colored one.
110	* BerserkButton: Do not insult history or tradition in front of her. The range of the insult is wide. You may agree that rating historical horse girls' faces loudly in a museum is insulting history. But she can't overlook even El adding hot sauce to natto.
111	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Remember. She is a typical SilkHidingSteel.
112	-->'''Seiun Sky:''' You should not make Grass-chan mad. May I repeat? You. Should not. Make Grass-chan mad.
113	* FashionableAsymmetry: She also races with different colored shoes, black and white.
114	* ForeignExchangeStudent: Technically, she is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kikokushijo kikokushijo]].

116	* FriendlyRivalry: Special Week is one of her dearest friends, and also one of her rivals.
117	* ImageSong: "Secret Graduation"
118	* LetsGetDangerous: When truly serious, her demeanor changes completely.
119	* NaginatasAreFeminine: In [[https://youtube.com/shorts/NFNoFUqm35w her unique skill cutscene]], she swings a naginata.
120	* RedBaron: In her in-game training story, people refer to her as "The Second Monster." The first means Maruzensky. Grass isn't pleased with that nickname because it implies she is second to her senpai.
121	* RedOniBlueOni: The cool, cultured, calm Blue Oni to her roommate El Condor Pasa's Red. Their friendship comes into focus in the game's training mode.
122	* SpiritedCompetitor: She's quite competitive once she starts racing again, and particularly wants to race Special Week at her very best. [[spoiler: When Special Week loses to her, Grass Wonder calls her out for being too distracted to give it her all]].
123	* YamatoNadeshiko: Grass Wonder is soft-spoken and endlessly polite, but also strong-willed and a fierce competitor.

132	A cheerful, friendly, energetic, and caring horse girl from America.
133	----
134
135	* AmericansAreCowboys: See her racing outfit. It uses {{Cowgirl}} motif.
136	* BreakingTheGlassCeiling: In her in-game training story, she aims to win the Award for Horse Girl of the Year for the first time as a short-distance racer.
137	* CutenessOverload: Her response to Special Week is to squeal about how cute she is, and hug her.
138	* FastestThingAlive: Taiki is the fastest short-distance runner in Japan.
139	* [[FarmBoy Farm Girl]]: She grew up on her family's farm in Kentucky.
140	* ForeignExchangeStudent: Another student hailing from America.
141	* GratuitousEnglish: Even more than El Condor Pasa, which fits since she was also born in America.
142	* ImageSong: "Chokkan No Problem"
143	* JustAStupidAccent: You can see her accent is something exotic.
144	* LifeOfTheParty: She likes exciting and happy parties indeed. That's why she sometimes recharges her energy by only 30 when you let her rest in the game.
145	* PhenotypeStereotype: A blonde-haired, blue-eyed American. Justified, in that the real Taiki has a blonde mane due to the Flaxen gene mutation.
146	* PoirotSpeak: See GratuitousEnglish.
147	* ScarfOfAsskicking: She wears a red bandana around her neck, and is one of the best racers in Japan.

160	-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/SoraTokui
161	----
162
163	* ActorAllusion: [[Creator/SoraTokui the same voice actress]] voices Applejack in the Japanese dub of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the other horse girl show]].
164	* AttentionWhore: DownplayedTrope. Her bio describes her as eager to be the center of attention, though she (jokingly) complains when her teammates are the focus.
165	* BunnyEarsLawyer: In the show, TM Opera O's personality would mark her as a minor {{Heel}} character or a member of the Main/GoldfishPoopGang. What they don't tell you is that historically [[spoiler: TM Opera O went undefeated for his entire senior year including five major G1 races, a feat virtually unmatched in Japanese racing history.]]
166	* CoolCrown: Always wears a small one.
167	* GracefulLoser: In the ''Road to the Top'' web anime, she applauds the winner of the race whenever she loses.
168	* ImageSong: "TM Opera O~Tataeyo towa ni~"
169	* LargeHam: Virtually every line she delivers comes with an extra side of ham and cheese. Partially averted in the ''Road to the Top'' web anime, where it's strongly implied that this is a facade.
170	* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: Her formal racing outfit is styled like royal regalia, including a crown and a scepter.
171	* ThoseTwoGuys: Usually seen with Air Groove.

181	----
182
183	* TheAce: She is mentioned to have recently earned the Triple Crown, putting her on a level close to that of Symboli.
184	* AdaptationalModesty: Her racing outfit in the anime is toned down, with less cleavage and a longer skirt.
185	* CoatCape: She wears one in the classic Banchou style.
186	* DoesNotLikeSpam: She is a carnivore who hates vegetables.
187	* EarlyBirdCameo: Footage of her racing can be glimpsed at the stadium when Special Week first arrives in Tokyo.
188	* FriendToAllChildren: During the festival, she happily hosts a children's event and loves every minute of it.
189	* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: DownplayedTrope. Brian is far more withdrawn in comparison to her sister, and while the two are close, they have a fierce rivalry on the track. She considers her elder sister her greatest rival and wants to defeat her in a race.
190	* ImageSong: "Shadow Roll no Chikai"
191	* JapaneseDelinquents: Her design is inspired by the ''banchou''. Ironically, she is one of the current vice presidents of Tracen.
192	* OralFixation: Always with a twig on her mouth. It is from a tree that she raised by herself.
193	* PointlessBandAid: To go with her Banchou style. The one on her nose is meant to invoke the shadow roll her real-life counterpart wore during races.
194	* TheQuietOne: Compared to the talkative Hishi, she's mostly calm and pleasant.
195	* RedBaron: "Shadow Roll Monster"
196	* TheRival: To Hishi Amazon, Mayano Top Gun, and Sakura Laurel.
197	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her formal racing outfit includes a midriff-baring top and micro-miniskirt. In the anime, her outfit covers a little extra skin.

205	-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/YuikoTatsumi
206	----
207
208	* AdaptationalModesty: Her original design heavily implies she's not wearing ''[[VaporWear anything]]'' underneath, but her anime design shows she's wearing underwear.
209	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Is the only horse girl so far with a tan.
210	* CuteLittleFangs: Which fit her Tsundere personality.
211	* EarlyBirdCameo: Footage of her racing and plush dolls are seen at the beginning of the series, prior to Hishi's actual introduction.
212	* FriendToAllChildren: She gets roped into helping Narita with the children's event, but has a great time and is glimpsed carrying kids on her back and petting them like you'd pet a horse.
213	* ImageSong: "Torikago No Lonely Bird"
214	* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Her dress hangs off her shoulders, and looks as though it could slip off at any moment.
215	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. She may have red eyes, but she's far from a bad person. Or dangerous for that matter.
216	* RunningGag: She's always made to stand as an informal goal line at the training track. By Season 2 people are even using a wooden board with her appearance painted on it for the same job, and even a flag pole for beach training has her face on it.
217	* TeamMom: As the leader of the Miho Dormitory, she takes good care of her girls.
218	* {{Tsundere}}: She has a tendency to get embarrassed, and insist that she isn't enjoying things.

229
230	* BoyishShortHair: Sports some of the shortest hair in the series, and wears masculine clothing.
231	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: One of the in-game loading screens implies it.
232	* ImageSong: "DREAM JACK"
233	* LadyInAPowerSuit: Her formal racing outfit is modeled after one, making her stand out among the frilly dresses most girls wear.
234	* NavelDeepNeckline: Her dress shirt is open, and only held together by a belt around her ribcage.
235	* RedBaron: "Two-Stage Rocket".
236	* StageMagician: As an entertainer, she can perform magic tricks.
237	* TeamMom: She is in charge of Ritto Dormitory, and makes a point to take care of the other girls. Prior to Special Week's debut, she goes to Suzuka and asks that she take care of her roommate.
238	* VideoGameHistoricalRevisionism: This one is out of necessity, as the real Fuji Kiseki had his career cut short before getting to challenge the Triple Crown races. Nevertheless, the devs left the gate open to what-could-have-beenists - you can either have her challenge the Triple Crown (her prototype was often called "the phantom triple crowner" for a reason!) or have her switch to mile distances after Satsuki Sho (which is something actually more befitting of her stats)

248
249	* CoolBigSis: She acts like an older sister to the other girls, and comes across as more mature.
250	* CoolCar: IRL, only adults can drive a car in Japan. But she drives her supercar, probably Lamborghini Countach.
251	* DiscoDan: PlayedForLaughs. She has a taste for the '90s and believes it is the latest.
252	** In the game, she sometimes dances with a feather fan. It reminds the Japanese of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliana%27s Juliana's Tokyo]], the famous nightclub that operated in the early 1990s.
253	** She thinks [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nata_de_coco nata de coco]] is in vogue now. It was popular in 1994.
254	** She also mentions Italian cuisine, shoulder pads, and more. All of them were popular in Japan in the '90s.
255	* TheDreaded: In her in-game training story, only five including her participate in the Spring Stakes. Because others don't dare compete with her. She is shocked by the event.
256	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Especially, in the Umayon.
257	** An in-game loading screen implies it too.
258	-->'''Special Week:''' I'm so glad to ride in Senpai's car!
259	-->'''Maruzensky:''' Buckle up, or you may be ejected.
260	-->'''Special Week:''' What?
261	** In Grass Wonder's in-game training story, she can be a victim of Maruzensky's driving.
262	-->'''Grass Wonder:''' Did you see the red supercar in the parking lot? If Maruzen-san proposes you go for a drive together, and you get in the car with a light heart, you might experience it flying. Fufufu...
263	* ForeignExchangeStudent: She's British, and came to Tracen from abroad.
264	* ImageSong: "Burning Heart"
265	* InformedAttractiveness: Special Week sees Maruzensky and is dumbstruck: "how beautiful!" (Made somewhat hilarious by the fact that the real Maruzensky was the ''grandfather'' of the real Special Week).
266	* LadyInRed: She's an extremely beautiful girl, and wears all an all-red formal racing outfit.
267	* {{Ojou}}: She hails from a famous family, and is very lady-like.
268	* RedBaron: "Super Car" and "Moster".
269	* SpeakingLikeTotallyTeen: One of the RunningGags in the series is that Maruzensky tries to talk like one of the cool kids... and [[EpicFail fails spectacularly]] because she's using slang that was current in the Nineties... or Eighties... or Seventies. [[/folder]]

281	* StoicSpectacles: Wears glasses and is generally cool and no-nonsense.
