* FashionableAsymmetry: Her formal racing outfit includes mismatched shoes, one white and one purple.
* FriendlessBackground: She grew up in an area without any other Horse Girls, or children around her age. As such, she only had animals and her human foster mother as company.
* FriendlyRivalry: To several of the other girls, such as El Condor Pasa and Grass Wonder. [[spoiler: To shake Suzuka out of her post-recovery funk, their trainer pushes the girls to consider each other rivals]].
* FunWithForeignLanguages: Because several of her competitors in the Japan Cup are foreigners, she asks El how to wish them a good race in French. El whispers an answer in her ear, resulting in Special Week cheerfully greeting her opponents with [[spoiler: "Don't get cocky!"]], unaware of what she's ''really'' saying to them.
* HappilyAdopted: She has a close bond with her human mother, and grew up happy in spite of her isolation.
* HeroicBSOD: Starts to suffer from one following [[spoiler: Suzuka's injury during the Tenno Sho. Special Week starts focusing so much on helping Suzuka recover that it becomes all that she can think about. Even in the middle of an important race she can't take her mind off Suzuka, leading her to run sub-optimally and lose as a result. It isn't until Trainer convinces her to view Suzuka as a rival that must be surpassed that Special Week starts to get her groove back]].

* MissingMom: Her birth mother died in childbirth, leaving Special Week to be raised by a human.

* TheAce: Legendary for her incredible speed, with a considerable following of fans among humans and Horse Girls alike.
* CallBack: [[spoiler:In Episode 11, Suzuka's left shoelace comes undone just before her race, similar to how her left shoe strap comes undone back in Episode 7. Except this time, she manages to win the race without incident]].
* CareerEndingInjury: [[spoiler: She breaks her leg, and doctors are uncertain whether she'll ever be able to run at full speed again]].
* CavalierCompetitor: She loves running for the sheer pleasure of it, and left Team Rigil because the strict attitude was making it less enjoyable. Whether she wins or not doesn't matter to her, in comparison to her more serious opponents.
* DemotedToExtra: In season 2 she becomes a supporting character due to being away in America.
* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler: In the 1998 Tenno Sho, the real Silence Suzuka suffered a devastating injury mid-race that ended both his career and his life. In Episode 7, this tragedy is recreated with the fictional Suzuka breaking her leg mid-race during the Tenno Sho. Unlike her real world counterpart, she survives because of Special Week rushing to catch her, but her racing career is left in doubt]].
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her formal racing outfit includes mismatched shoes, one white and one black.
* FastestThingAlive: She consistently leaves her opponents in the dust, running so fast that no one can hope to catch her. At one point, she achieves the real World Record for horse racing.
* FriendlyRivalry: Most of the girls consider Suzuka their top rival, and adore her. [[spoiler: In order to help her overcome her post-injury fears, the trainer pushes her to have a rivalry with Special Week to motivate them both]].
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Even after fully recovering from her broken leg, Suzuka has trouble running at full speed. Not from physical pain, but from the mental fear of injuring herself again. Not helping things is Special Week, who's constant doting at her own expense causes Suzuka to start believing she's holding her friends back. She starts getting over it once Trainer pushes her to view Special Week as a {{Friendly Rival|ry}}]].
* HeroicRROD: [[spoiler: During the Tenno Sho, she runs faster than she's ever run before...and ends up breaking her leg in the process]].
* HeroicWillpower: Spica's trainer credits her strength of will with [[spoiler: allowing her to race again, when the doctors believed it was impossible]].
* HesBack: [[spoiler: Suzuka makes her return to racing in Episode 11, and initially struggles in last place. But in the final stretch of the race, she makes her move and leaves the competition far behind. The crowd goes wild, with several characters crying TearsOfJoy at Suzuka's victory. It doubles as a heart-felt tribute to the real Suzuka, who did not survive to race again]].
* HimeCut: The soft-spoken, elegant Suzuka wears her hair in this classic style.
* ImageSong: "Silent Star"
* NiceHat: She wears an Ear Bonnet, in this case a white headband with a decorative ribbon and green ear coverings. As a nice extra detail, it's the exact same color as the Ear Bonnets the real horse wore for competitions.
* PutOnABus: Due to her stay in America, her role in the second season is restricted to occasional calls on a tablet or smartphone.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Special Week's idol, who becomes her dearest friend once she starts at Tracen. She has green eyes and vibrant orange-red hair.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: She survives being injured at the Tenno Sho, unlike the real Suzuka that had to be euthanized]].
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She is often very quiet and reserved, but has a very caring nature towards her friends.
* RedOniBlueOni: The reserved, gentle Blue to Special Week's red.
* TemptingFate: She promises to race with Special Week, before she transfers to America later in the year. [[spoiler: In the following race, she breaks her leg and may never be able to race again]].
* VideoGameHistoricalRevisionism: The final objective in her ingame training is [[spoiler:to make her win the Autumn Tenno Sho. Yes, the exact same one in which anime!Suzuka suffered a major injury and real!Suzuka - a fatal one.]]

* BadassCape: She wears a knee-length one in red.

* ShortHairWithTail: She wears her hair like this, with a ponytail that reaches past her knees.

* StraightToThePointe: She does this in the opening, before spinning rapidly to the amazement of the other girls.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Constantly providing background bickering and action along with Daiwa Scarlet.
* {{Tomboy}}: She's notably rougher and less girly than her teammates. Appropriate, since the real Vodka is a rare example of a racemare winning the Japanese Derby, which is usually only contested by colts, let alone won.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Visually she's the tomboy to Scarlet's Girly Girl.
* VitriolicBestBuds: She and Daiwa Scarlet are always this way.

[[folder: Gold Ship]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goldship_fixw_640_hq.jpg]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Hitomi Ueda

* AmusingInjuries: While helping [=McQueen=] train with ''very heavy'' horseshoes, she gets stomped on the back accidentally [[RuleOfThree three times]].
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: The trouble-making goofball to Mejiro [=McQueen=]'s more serious nature.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: While she's usually seen slacking off during training exercises, she's the one member of Team Spica that never gets pointers beyond "keep doing what you're doing". As such, she's talented enough that her weirdness doesn't hold her back in races.
* CloudCuckooLander: She is prone to doing odd things, often in the background of other scenes.
* CrocodileTears: When Mejiro hesitates to join Team Spica, she begins crying loudly until the other girl relents. The others in the team know Gold Ship is doing it to trick her.

* ImageSong: "Goal to my SHIP"
* LadyInRed: Her racing outfit is completely red, and she's known for being a great beauty in the racing world.
* LovingBully: Towards Mejiro [=McQueen=]. While Gold Ship teases and pull pranks on [=McQueen=], she actually likes [=McQueen=] and was upset when it seems [=McQueen=] won't join Team Spica.
* NiceHat: She wears a little pillbox hat on her head along with a sort of harness. It's so nice that it helps defining her even more, which tells a lot [[CloudCuckooLander considering how she is]].
* OneHeadTaller: GenderFlipped. Gold Ship towers over Mejiro [=McQueen=] whenever the two are together.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When she drops the goofball persona - mostly in the anime - you know shit just got real.
* RunningGag: Her various attempts to prank Mejiro [=McQueen=], which always end with her getting a (comical) eye injury.
* SkillGateCharacters: Arguably the hardest to train between the five starting characters[[note]]Daiwa Scarlet, Vodka, Sakura Bakushin O, Haru Urara, and her[[/note]] of the game. This is not helped by the fact that skills that support her natural running style are contained in her own support card[[note]]You can't use training cards bearing a particular horsegirl's name in her own training mode[[/note]].
* StatuesqueStunner: She's known for her beauty, and towers over the other girls.

-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/SaoriOnishi

* AscendedExtra: Like Tokai Teio, the second season puts the spotlight on her, particularly her relationship with the former.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: She's the more serious of the pair, in comparison to the ever-strange Gold Ship. This usually involves her countering Gold Ship's pranks without batting an eye, and the other girl suffering the consequences.
* CareerEndingInjury: [[spoiler:She develops suspensory ligament desmitis in her left leg by episode 12, which is incurable and recurrent, preventing her from running again]].
* TheDragAlong: Gold Ship constantly gets her into whatever comes through her mind.
* ExpressiveEars: At one point, during an emotional conversation, her ears are [[https://pasteboard.co/Hm8pSXg.png turned back]] - exactly what happens with a real horse who is upset or angry.
* FriendlyRivalry: Develops one with Tokai Teio in season 2.
* ImageSong: "Waiting for Tomorrow"
* NotSoAboveItAll: She's usually calm and collected, but surprisingly comical when she ''does'' act out.
* TheOjou: She is the daughter of a prominent family, and extremely ladylike at all times.
* OneHeadTaller: GenderFlipped. Gold Ship towers over her, something she sometimes uses to her (failed) advantage.
* PimpedOutDress: Her formal racing outfit has an enormous, frilly jacket.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: After enduring a surprise long-distance run, she takes her revenge on the Trainer by getting him in an impressive hold while threatening him.

-> '''Voiced by''': Kouji Okino

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Special Week states her dream is to become "The best Horse Girl in Japan", he asks her what that means. She's unable to answer him at the time, and he asks this question again to the entire team when she joins Team Spica. Everyone's answer is different.
* AudienceSurrogate: Trainer is the anime's representative for the game's PlayerCharacter.
* ChivalrousPervert: He has a tendency to suddenly begin feeling up a Horse Girl's legs, commenting on their muscle tone and racing potential. In spite of this one quirk, he is a caring and supportive coach.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: His actual name is not revealed, with everyone simply calling him by his title.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: He has some tension with Hana, the rival coach.
* HyperAwareness: When it comes to noticing the latent talents of an Uma Musume. This also extends to noticing injuries.
* MadeOfIron: PlayedForLaughs. He is frequently kicked by his team, (who are ''horses'', mind you) and walks it off every time.
* ModelScam: Subverted. His initial introduction involves him feeling Special Week's thighs, and being accused of being a pervert trying to scam her. But later on, she learns he's a professional coach at Tracen Academy and was completely sincere about wanting to train her.
* MotivationalLie: He confesses that [[spoiler: the doctors told him Suzuka would never run again. Instead of telling her the truth, he continued to lie about her prognosis...and it paid off in the end]].
* MysteriousPast: Nothing is known about his past. Though if we take subtle cues from what Hana talked about him, he worked as a trainer until quitting for some unknown reason and later came back to found and train Team Spica.
* OralFixation: He frequently has a lollipop in his mouth, which tends to fall out when he's shocked.
* PerpetualPoverty: He's always running out of money, either from the [[BigEater girls]] taking advantage of him treating them or begging Hana to cover his bar tab.
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: He breaks down crying when Suzuka begins running at full speed, and wins her comeback race]].
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The Performer to Hana's technician. He takes a very casual attitude towards his team, letting them run as they want instead of giving them a strict plan.

[[/folder]]

[[header: Team Rigil]]
The members of Team Rigil, the most successful team at Tracen Academy.

* TheAce: Heck, just count the entire team as one, aside of the individual members themself excelling at racing.

* AffectionateNickname: Referred to as "El".
* 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]].
* CoatCape: She wears a long-sleeved, red coat with fringe over her shoulders like a cape.
* CoolMask: She wears one even when in uniform, resembling the Blinker Hoods worn by horses.
* 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.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: She originally hails from America, and transferred to Japan in order to further her racing career.
* FriendlyRivalry: She considers Silence Suzuka and Special Week her greatest rivals, and is a good friend to them both.
* GratuitousEnglish: She uses it all the time, but then, [[JustifiedTrope she is American]].
* GratuitousSpanish: In the game, she uses more Spanish words than English.
* 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.
* ImageSong: "L's Surprise!"
* 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.
* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: El Condor participates in events that her real counterpart did not, for the sake of drama.
* 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.
* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: She trolls Spe-chan in this fashion when the latter asks her for a greeting phrase during the Japan Cup.
* 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.
* TheRival: To Special Week, who she declares her rival after seeing the other girl race.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hot sauce. [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Really hot sauce.]]
* 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.
* SpiritedCompetitor: While she takes losing hard, she's happiest when facing a truly challenging opponent.

* ChestOfMedals: Her formal racing outfit includes numerous medals, as befits the champion.

* FastestThingAlive: She is an undefeated Champion, holding the greatest honor as a Triple Crown Winner. As such, there are few racers capable of challenging her.

* OurFounder: She has a statue outside the stadium, as seen by Special Week when she first arrives in Tokyo.
* 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''!
* RedBaron: "Emperor".
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The head of the student council and is as responsible as it goes.
* StudentCouncilPresident: She is the current President of Tracen's student council.
* 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).
* 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.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/airgroove_animefull.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/RurikoAoki

* 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]].

-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/RenaMaeda

* BackInTheSaddle: Mid-way 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.

* PhenotypeStereotype: A blonde-haired, blue-eyed American. Justified, in that the real Taiki has a blonde mane due to the Flaxen gene mutation.

* ActorAllusion: [[Creator/SoraTokui the same voice actress]] voices Applejack in the Japanese dub of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the other horse girl show]].

-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/YuukaAisaka (until November 2020), Rika Kinugawa (December 2020 onwards)

* TheAce: She is mentioned to have recently earned the Triple Crown, putting her on a level close to that of Symboli.
* AdaptationalModesty: Her racing outfit in the anime is toned down, with less cleavage and a longer skirt.
* CoatCape: She wears one in the classic Banchou style.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Footage of her racing can be glimpsed at the stadium, when Special Week first arrives in Tokyo.
* FriendToAllChildren: During the festival, she happily hosts a children's event and loves every minute of it.
* 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.
* ImageSong: "Shadow Roll no Chikai"
* OralFixation: Always with a twig on her mouth.
* 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.
* TheQuietOne: Compared to the talkative Hishi, she's mostly calm and pleasant.
* RedBaron: "Shadow Roll Monster"
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her formal racing outfit includes a midriff-baring top and micro-miniskirt. In the anime, her outfit covers a little extra skin.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Is the only horse girl so far with a tan.
* CuteLittleFangs: Which fit her Tsundere personality.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Footage of her racing and plush dolls are seen at the beginning of the series, prior to Hishi's actual introduction.
* 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.
* ImageSong: "Torikago No Lonely Bird"
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Her dress hangs off her shoulders, and looks as though it could slip off at any moment.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. She may have red eyes, but she's far from a bad person. Or dangerous for that matter.
* 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.
* {{Tsundere}}: She has a tendency to get embarrassed, and insist that she isn't enjoying things.

* RedBaron: "Two-Stage Rocket".
* TeamMom: She is in charge of her 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.
* 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)

[[header: Team Sirius]]
The main team featured in the main scenario of the mobile game. As the mobile game is at the very least, an [[AlternateContinuity alternate continuity]] from the anime, the game-original team subtly alters the focus and relationships of the involved characters. The player starts as the sub-trainer of this team and is tasked with taking over after the last generation's trainer and ace have retired. There are currently four parts focusing on four different horse girls, but they all join Team Sirius in order and thus gain more and more team interactions per part.

* TheAce: Team Sirius's former ace. The prologue showcases her last race at the 1990 Arima Kinen as the player and a starry-eyed [=McQueen=] look on. Oguri and Team Sirius's veteran main trainer subsequently retire after her win, leaving the club in [=McQueen=] and the player's hands.

* TheAce: With a team of 3 mobs and Gold Ship, someone has to pick up the slack. Also liberally used to refer to her throughout the scenario.
* {{Determinator}}: The only member left of Team Sirius after everyone else quit after Oguri's retirement, she and the player are set on reviving the club's former glory.
* TheMentor: To Rice Shower in part 2
* AllThereInTheManual: As this is a scenario solely dedicated to [=McQueen=], it goes over some events in her career that are not covered in the anime, the most important being her [[spoiler: disqualification from the 1991 Fall Tennō Shō due to [[https://www.jra.go.jp/judge/ interference]] and her subsequent "slump."]]

[[folder: Rice Shower]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quiz_detail_image_33.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ManakaIwami

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: The focus of part 2, it overlaps somewhat with [=McQueen=]'s scenario and where it left off. A somewhat more depressing story if one knows the context.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In contrast with the anime. As much of the game's launch dialogue was actually recorded before the anime, Rice's VA stated that she had a definite "poor thing" reaction regarding Rice's history, and voiced her as such. Upon reading the anime script, she decided to adjust the personality to be stronger. This caused a bit of [[MoodWhiplash mood whiplash]] when aspiring trainers fresh from the anime were greeted with a very meek "onii/onee-sama!" on loading.
* StalkerWithACrush: Rice's relationship with Mihono Bourbon remains somewhat intact, but a lot of the idolization part is transferred to [=McQueen=] as well in the game as they are now teammates. As the player-trainer orders Rice to train for Bourbon by shadowing [=McQueen=], Rice takes the phrase very literally, following her everywhere and even sleeping in the same bed.
* VideoGameHistoricalRevisionism: Subverted. While her individual character scenario lets you dodge fate, the last chapters of Rice Shower's Sirius scenario go over her two winless years after upsetting [=McQueen=]'s streak, with fans speculating that she "had lost her targets and thus her motivation." Bourbon and [=McQueen=] show up right before the spring Tennō Shō two years later to give her encouragement, leading to her first win in two years and her first standing ovation from the crowd. The scenario ends with her special live there. [[spoiler: Mercifully, as the next race would be the 1995 Takarazuka Kinen, in which Rice Shower would suffer a broken leg and be euthanized on the track, 3 years before Silence Suzuka.]]

[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haruurara_animefull.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Yukina Shuto

* ButtMonkey: She is perpetually losing any race she takes part in, and tends to react comically to her failure.
* 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.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: She also has pink eyes.
* {{Foil}}: To Rice Shower - they're often seen together, especially in the Yonkoma side stories, but whereas Urara's real counterpart was beloved for constantly losing, the real Rice Shower was hated (by racing fans) for winning.
* TheCutie: In a series of cute girls, she's particularly adorable and perky.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her pupils are shaped like flowers.
* MartialArtsHeadband: She wears a red one as part of her racing outfit.
* 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.
* PluckyComicRelief: She's there primarily for comedy, and never lets her failures get her down.
* PluckyGirl: Just like the real horse, she never wins a race but makes up for it with sheer pluck.
* RoseHairedSweetie: She has pink hair, and is among the sweetest of all the characters. (It also helps that her real life counterpart very frequently raced wearing [[https://cdn.netkeiba.com/img.db.sp/show_photo.php?horse_id=1996106177&no=spdb&tn=&tmp=no&default_image=netkeiba pink attire]])
* SchoolSportUniform: Her racing outfit is styled after a traditional Japanese gym uniform.
* VideoGameHistoricalRevisionism: In the game she could be trained to win all the races you take part in[[note]]Although to be fair, her mandatory races only require her to win once so it's still fairly true to her IRL history[[/note]], reflecting none of her record in the anime or real life[[note]]A streak of '''''113''''' ''losses''[[/note]].

* BrilliantButLazy: She typically slacks off in class, and takes things easy. But when running, she is a top contender. Though it's downplayed in that while she gives the impression of a talented slacker, Seiun Sky does secretly train hard before her races.
* {{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.
* FriendlyRivalry: She's good friends with Special Week, and the two are often rivals competing against each other. She also has one with King Halo from sharing many races together with her, and eventually developed an OddFriendship with the serious and vain horse girl.
* TheGadfly: Occasionally pulls pranks and makes jokes, but Seiun Sky is genuinely a nice girl.
* GracefulLoser: When she loses to Special Week, she doesn't seem to bothered about it. Instead, it inspires her to put more effort into training for her next race.
* ImageSong: "Kimagure Turning Heart!"
* LetsGetDangerous: When she drops her lazy attitude, she shocks people with how determined she is.
* ShipTease: She is depicted with Nishino Flower in a support card artwork.[[note]]The two horses was owned by the same owner, and while Nishino Flower was quite a prized mare Seiun Sky was viewed as more of a genetic dead end and thus was not very popular as a racehorse stud. The owner was adamant in trying to preserve Seiun Sky's bloodline however, to the point of willing to forgo several opportunities for Nishino Flower to mate with more popular studs with better records; ''madness'', as he had said himself.[[/note]]
* {{Sleepyhead}}: When not racing/eating/training/fooling around, she can be seen dozing off.
* TheTrickster: Her nickname and style of racing. She always have tricks up her sleeve to gain the advantage over faster horse girls, which makes her a difficult opponent to the gullible Special Week.
* VideoGameHistoricalRevisionism: A special example occurs in her game scenario.[[spoiler: If she managed to win the Triple Crown, there's a special line by the announcers noting this fact. The real-life Seiun Sky won only two out of the Triple Crown races; that year's Japan Derby was won by Special Week.]]

* BalloonBelly: Gets loads of these thanks to her insanely large appetite, particularly in episodes 4, 6, 8, & the OVA. She even gains one in the game intro and the anime's teaser trailer.
* BigEater: She participated in an eating contest, and won by an enormous margin. If that wasn't enough, in the OVA she arrived at another eating contest pre-stuffed and was still able to eat an insane amount of food.
** And even that pales in comparison to what she consumes in chapter 31 of ''Cinderella Gray'': over the course of the chapter, she's shown with 21 scoops of ice cream, an ENORMOUS cup of bubble tea, 6 huge churros, a large baked potato and two large soft serves... and she's implied to have eaten much more than that.

* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She likes cute things, and tries to win the giant donut plushie.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: She always talks in ''Kansai-ben''. (This reflects real!Tamamo often being called "the secret weapon of Kansai"; in fact, all but one of his graded wins were on "western" racecourses (here: Chukyo, Hanshin and Kyoto))

** Her racing outfit is full of fortune objects.
** It later turns out that her booth isn't just for the festival - it's an ongoing concern. Mejiro Palmer visits it several times during the second season.
* MeaningfulName: Her name was derived from the Japanese proverb 笑う門には福来る;[[note]]lit. ''Warau kado niwa fuku kitaru''[[/note]], which roughly translates into "Good fortune comes to the happy household". This explains why she has an obsession with luck and fortune-telling.[[note]]The owner of the IRL horse indeed had another horse named Matikane Waraukado.[[/note]]
* 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]]

* [[MagicalGirl Magical Horsegirl]]: A big influence on her character is a children's show revolving about magical girls [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial that totally isn't supposed to be based on]] Anime/PrettyCure titled Princess Fighter. It's the heroines from this show on which Kawakami based her concept of becoming a real princess.

While in junior high, she's the age of an elementary school student.
* ShipTease: She is depicted with Seiun Sky in a support card artwork, and she has a fairly important support event with Agnes Tachyon.[[note]]Seiun Sky and Nishino Flower were owned by the same owner. While Nishino Flower was quite a prized mare, Seiun Sky was viewed as more of a genetic dead end and thus was not very popular as a racehorse stud. The owner was adamant in trying to preserve Seiun Sky's bloodline however, to the point of willing to forgo several opportunities for Nishino Flower to mate with more popular studs with better records; ''madness'', as he had said himself. As for Agnes Tachyon, Nishino Flower foaled three children with her. As a side note, Agnes Tachyon would later sire a child from Nishino Mirai, the only offspring from Nishino Daisy and Seiun Sky.[[/note]]

* AscendedExtra: She only had a minor appearance in the BNW OVA. Season 2 made her part of the main cast.
* BrutalHonesty: She's quite blunt in her way of speaking, and her attempt at motivating Rice Shower shows.
* {{Cyborg}}: Not actually one of course, but her robotic mannerism and outfit aesthetic have made other girls wonder if she really is one.
* {{Determinator}}: The trait that earned her real-life counterpart the "Cyborg" nickname. She's absolutely committed to her training, no matter how hard it gets.
* DidNotSeeThatComing: She sure didn't expect that [[spoiler:Rice Shower would catch up to her at the last second, beating her and preventing her from getting a Triple Crown undefeated.]]
* IdiotHair: Has a prominent cowlick, although she's far from an idiot.
* LiteralMinded: In the game, as part of her cyborg persona. It's never made clear how much, if at all, this is a case of ObfuscatingStupidity.
* NotSoStoic: Shows a far larger range of emotions when telling Rice Shower how she admires her and considers Rice her hero and rival.
* UndyingLoyalty: For her trainer, whom she calls Master, racing with everything she's got to please him.
* WalkingTechbane: In the game, as an odd counterpoint to the whole cyborg schtick. For this reason, she's been banned from using the vending machines in Tracen Academy.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SachikaMisawa

* ClassRepresentative: She is proud of being one.
* CripplingOverspecialization: In-game, this is invoked in her training mode by the player, tricking her into all sorts of hijinks to dissuade her from running in races other than short distance. It is downplayed in the actual gameplay, since her distance rating for miles are not that bad[[note]]a B compared to her A for Short distance[[/note]].
* TheDitz: To an extreme degree. For instance, in the game, she really wants to win a long-distance race, but can't do it to save her life, so her trainer convinces her that [[InsaneTrollLogic running three short races over the course of a couple of months counts as a single long-distance race]].
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Has ''cherry blossom''-shaped pupils to match her name.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Like Special Week, her formal racing outfit includes shoes of mismatched colors.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Her forehead is... very prominently displayed.
* FragileSpeedster: The races in her story mode in the game are all shorts and miles, so pretty much her only build would forgo stamina and guts in favor of speed. This, along with skill choices, will result in her being blinding fast but unable to keep it for long distances.
* HotBlooded: Always loud and spirited.
* LethalChef: Her SSR support card events reveal that she has no concept of cooking beyond using the highest possible flame to cook as quickly as possible, resulting in her failing at making a ''sandwich''. She eventually gets better with the help of a very patient Nishino Flower.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Most of Sakura Bakushin O's events basically make her the butt of the joke(s) by showing the results of her utter obliviousness and twin obsessions with (a) being the ClassRepresentative and (b) speed. Further, her basic aptitudes make it clear that she can't run more than a mile without slowing to a crawl. However, her stats, skills and missions make her campaign the easiest one of all the starters, since the player just has to train for pure speed at every opportunity. Because of this, she's the most likely to reach the end of the campaign and bonus stage, gaining a considerable amount of bonus stats along the way and becoming the average new player's strongest hall-of-famer.
* MemeticMutation: On account of her LethalJokeCharacter status, Japanese players have nicknamed the pure-speed/frontrunner build, and its fans, the [[MemeticMutation "Church of Bakushin"]] ([[https://dic.pixiv.net/a/バクシン教 バクシン教]], ''bakushin-kyou'').

* ForScience: Joins Tracen Academy in order to discover the true potential of the horse girls.
* TheGadfly: She can be quite teasing towards others, particularly towards Manhattan Cafe, Air Shakur, and the trainer.
* IllGirl: [[spoiler: Although she's a talented runner, her legs are actually very fragile for a horsegirl and are already beginning to break down.]]
* MadScientist: She has all the signs of being one. [[LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine Wears a labcoat as a part of her race costume?]] Check. Uses {{Technobabble}} and scientific terms as a part of her speech? Check. [[PlayingWithSyringes Does dubious experiments and tries to rope others into them?]] ''Check.'' Calls the trainer her guinea pig and ''actually uses them as one'' (as evident in her voice lines)? Check, check, ''check!''
** Although the trainer is generally a semi-willing participant in her schemes, [[TheDogBitesBack they occasionally snark back at her.]] Loosely translated:

* MeaningfulName: Her name is based of a figurative faster-than-light particle, hence her scientist theme.
* NonIndicativeName: Despite the "Tachyon" name, her field of research is not physics (quantum or otherwise) but pharmacology.
* PlayingWithSyringes: She spends most of her time working on shady new drugs which are supposed to have beneficial effects. Typically they also have [[SideEffectsInclude amusing side-effects]], most commonly making a random part of the victim's body emit a bright and colourful glow.
** In one especially outstanding incident, she gives her trainer [[ChocolateOfRomance a box of handmade chocolates for Valentine's]]. Of course, they've been spiked with one of her drugs... [[spoiler: that causes the eater's body to give off a powerful aroma of chocolate for hours]].
* ProfessorGuineaPig: In her in-game story, [[spoiler: this becomes a very serious plot point. One of her motivations for research is to [[ThrowingOffTheDisability find a cure for her legs]] before she becomes permanently crippled.]]
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: ''Every time'' she offers somebody an ostensibly-normal drink or food item, it's been spiked with one of her experimental concoctions.
* VideoGameHistoricalRevisionism: Almost like Fuji Kiseki, real!Tachyon had his career cut short in the middle of his 3yo season. As such, there is an option to choose objectives in Tachyon's scenario, either going for a mile/medium distance route[[note]]however, this route is actually less befitting of her stats in Tachyon's case[[/note]] or for the Triple Crown.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Rice Shower is a "villain" of the racing world, dressed in Gothic attire and considered a breaker of dreams. In spite of this, she's a gentle girl that simply wants people to be happy. Fearing that she only makes people unhappy, she tries to quit racing until Mihono Bourbon convinces her to keep running.
* EeriePaleskinnedBrunette: She's pale, with dark hair and a soft-spoken nature that doesn't make it easy to socialize with others. Her Gothic attire and racing career have further added to a false impression of a creepy villain.
* {{Foil}}: To Haru Urara - they're often seen together, especially in the Yonkoma side stories, but whereas Urara's real counterpart was beloved for constantly losing, the real Rice Shower was hated (by racing fans) for winning.

* ThirdPersonPerson: Prefers to herself in this way.
* UnknownRival: Mihono Bourbon doesn't notice her at first, though she follows her on morning jogs every day. This comes to an end when they actually face each other in a critical race.
* VideoGameHistoricalRevisionism: A very special example occurs in her game scenario.

->'''Voiced by''': Yuu Sasahara

* CripplingOverspecialization: Her in-game ratings and story mode progression are arguably more specialized for short sprints than Bakushin.

* TheGambler: Tries to lay bets on everything and anything, up to and including [[TemptingFate living dangerously by refusing to pack an umbrella when the weather forecast shows a 90% chance of rain]]. This is particularly unusual considering that the sport of horse-racing in the Umamusume world is a {{Bowdlerized}} version which doesn't allow gambling.

[[folder: Mayano Top Gun]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quiz_detail_image_39.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Ayaka Imamura (2017), Mio Hoshitani (2018-onwards)

* AcePilot: Her race costume evokes the image of one with her bomber jacket. She also peppers her speech with aeronautical terms, particularly in the game ("taaaaaake off!" being the most prominent example).
** One side story reveals that her father is a pilot and that she wants to follow his path someday.
* AirplaneArms: Some of her victory celebration in the game has her do a little circle with her arms outstretched to the sides.
* AscendedFanboy: Owing to her name, personality and dress, she was chosen as a Japanese advertising pilot for ''[[Film/TopGunMaverick Top Gun: Maverick]]''. As part of the collaboration, she replaced Maverick in an alternate version of one of the movie posters in Japan. Four ''Uma Musume'' voice actresses attended the movie's Japanese premiere, which included Tom Cruise prompting Mio Hoshitani by asking, "You copy?" to salute and say one of Mayano Top Gun's trademark lines: "I copy!"
* FilleFatale: Or should we say, [[IncrediblyLamePun Filly Fatale]]?
** For most of her storyline in the game's training mode, Mayano comes across as being rather too keen on growing up, and insists that she's an adult. This includes wanting to go on "dates" with her trainer, blowing kisses to the crowd when she wins (which is also a ShoutOut to the real Mayano Top Gun's jockey doing the same thing at the end of a race), and being [[Main/TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior inappropriately affectionate]]. [[spoiler: She eventually grows out of it... at least a little bit.]]
* JackOfAllTrades: Real!Maya's ability to win using any strategy is lovingly reflected ingame in that she has high ratings for ''all four stategies'' from the start.
* TeenGenius: Her powers of deduction are so strong that, just by watching for a few seconds, [[AwesomenessByAnalysis she can accurately forecast the outcome of most races.]] To her, this is [[IJustKnew intuitive and obvious]], but not to everyone else. This [[CursedWithAwesome gets her into trouble at school]], because she immediately jumps from the start of a math problem to the solution without writing down her reasoning. [[note]] In the game, a loading screen reveals that she has a unfortunate tendency to spoil the identity of the true criminal whilst watching detective shows with her friends.[[/note]]

* BareYourMidriff: Her racing outfit exposes her navel.
* BlackSheep: Of the Mejiro family. She doesn't get any attention nor is she in scenes with the other Mejiros. This is actually based on real life in which the Mejiro Group didn't have high hopes for Palmer.
** There's a photograph of Palmer in [=McQueen=]'s room, however, which suggests that at least one Mejiro does care about her.
* FriendlyRivalry: Forms one with Daitaku Helios.
* OddFriendship: With Daitaku Helios, a carefree GyaruGirl, while she's a more serious and diligent CoolBigSis.

[[header: Other - Horse Girls with Original Names]]
Some horse girls in ''Uma Musume'' are either not named according to their real-life counterparts[[note]]Even though horse names did not constitute as copyright in Japan, Cygames go to great lengths to obtain permission to use their names. They are, after all, owned by rich and powerful people. Some owners do withheld permission, as in the case with those in the 'scrapped' horsegirls section.[[/note]] or original creations altogether.

[[folder: Sun Visor]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RieKugimiya

* GracefulLoser: Tries to be one [[spoiler:after Suzuka defeats her in her return race]]
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Loosely based on Sun Flare, the horse that won the 1999 Capital Stakes in Tokyo.
* TemptingFate: Just as she says Suzuka [[spoiler:hasn't recovered enough from her leg injury, Suzuka proceeds to defeat her at the last leg of the race.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Broye]]
[[quoteright:115:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/broye.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HarunaIkezawa

* TheAce: The greatest Horse Girl on the international stage.
* AdaptationNameChange: The European champion from France was actually named [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montjeu Montjeu]].
** CaptainErsatz[=/=]NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: The likely reason for the change is that one needs a license from the owners to name a character after a RealLife foreign racehorse[[note]]additionally, Cygames might not be familiar to the procedure on obtaining such rights from overseas horse owners and therefore reluctant to use Montjeu's name and likeness. In comparison, horse names in Japan are considered outside copyright but since they are owned by rich and powerful people it's usually a good idea to get permission for name use. It also does not help matters that, unlike in Japan, many overseas jurisdictions permit shared ownership other than buying club shares.[[/note]]. The design does ''not'' refer to the real horse, probably for the same reason. However, Château de Montjeu is located in the French commune called Broye.
* BadassCape: Wears a regal looking cape, and she has all the right to wear it.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Just like her visual inspiration, Lady Oscar.
* BlingOfWar: Her racing outfit is designed to resemble a very fancy military uniform.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: She's introduced surrounding by a crowd of fawning young women.
* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: Even with the actress's questionable delivery, she ''sounds'' like the kind of woman that would be surrounded by fawning fangirls.
* {{Expy}}: Her design is based on Lady Oscar from ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles''.
* FrenchJerk: To a degree. She is proud and can sound conceited and dismissive, but this does not make her lose the sense of sportsmanship.
* FunWithForeignLanguages: She signs El's guidebook in French, leading the other girl to believe she mistook her for a fan. However, Rudolf recognizes that she ''actually'' slipped in a friendly challenge.
* GratuitousFrench: Broye's dialogue is entirely in French, an unusual production decision. The actress's delivery is....questionable at times, with subtitles to translate her dialogue for the audience.
* PimpedOutCape: Her fancy cape is made of fur, giving her an air of nobility.
* PrideBeforeAFall: Extremely confident during her press appearances [[spoiler: before Japan Cup, which she loses to Special Week in Episode 12. If we go by RealLife race information, she came ''fourth''; this is never really confirmed in the anime.]]

->'''Voiced by''': Miyu Yoshizaki
* ColorCodedCharacters: She has white hair, her eyes are pale-colored, and her racing costume is brightly colored (white with ivory accents). Safe to say white is her color.
* OriginalGeneration: She and her trainer first appeared in the mobile game. She also wasn't explicitly based on any particular real-life horse[[note]]There are speculations that she was based on Japan's first-ever white racehorse, named [[https://db.netkeiba.com/horse/1979105823/ Hakutaiyu]].

* OriginalGeneration: First appeared in ''Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray''. She was based on a Kasamatsu-based real-life horse although her name did not reflect this fact[[note]]the horse in question was named Twin Bee after the videogame, so [[WritingAroundTrademarks using the real name would surely invite a copyright snarl.]][[/note]]
