History Characters / UmaMusume

-> '''Voiced by''': Anju Inami (initial PV only), Machico

->'''Voiced by''': Chinami Hashimoto

* IronLady: Strict, dignified, ans no-nonsense, she fits this trope to a T.

* 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.

* AdaptationalModesty: Her in-game design heavily implies she's not wearing ''[[VaporWear anything]]'' underneath, but her anime design shows she's wearing underwear.

* NasalTrauma: Poor Machi-tan inadverently gets ''a lot'' of these. Even her very first anime appearance results in [[https://imgur.com/a/2q8rb4E this.]]

* SweaterGirl: Which help emphasize her 'assets'.

* FortuneTeller: During the Festival, she operates the fortune telling booth. She gives out a bad fortune to Mejiro [=McQueen=], freaking the other girl out.

* 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]]

* CuteBruiser: She's tiny, but a powerhouse that loves to imitate her favor action series.

* BigEater: In an extremely low-key manner. One of her favourite pastimes on her days off is to go around town and try different cake shops ([[spoiler:which may actually be something that reminds her of her home - it is revealed in her character story that her parents also run a cake shop!]]), and a casual conversation in the game reveals that, by about mid-afternoon, she's already eaten at least five slices of cake (and proceeds to go for more afterwards).

* ThePerfectionist: How much? Let's just say that when going halfsies on cake, she ''pulls out a tape measure''. [[spoiler:Her character story reveals this is something she learnt from her father.]]

* TheDreaded: Most trainers are terrified of her, to the point of using a lottery to decide who works with her.

* DidNotSeeThatComing: She sure didn't expect that [[spoiler:Rice Shower would caught up to her at the last second, beating her and preventing her from getting a Triple Crown undefeated.]]

* AmbiguouslyHuman: She has apperance traits similar to a horse girl, and her head being covered by her sun hat really isn't helping to solve the case. Fans have speculated she might be based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Taste Northern Taste]], a legendary horse that produced many champions for Japan's racing scene. Northern Taste was also a good friend to the cats in his farm.

* DeathOrGloryAttack: Her campaign event lets you choose to make her perform an treatment on your horse girl to gain beneficial boosts such as stats increase or gaining recovery skills. The catch is that it doesn't always work, and if it fails, your horse girl will suffer from energy and mood drop (and on some choices, even got an illness). [[TakeAThirdOption Cautious trainers can also play it safe and completely refuse her offer]].

* AlternateCharacterReading: Jo constantly refers to him as Roppei, the alternate readin of the kanji for Musaka. [[EmbarrassingNickname He doesn't like this]].

A former trainer from Central and a sitting council member in the URA organization. She was brought in to be a temporary chairman when chairman Akikawa was called on a long business trip to overseas.

->Ketchup! Mayo! Mustard! [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollock_roe Tarako!]] ...'''[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Grapes!]]'''

* 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-san!" on loading.
* StalkerWithACrush: Rice's relationship with Mihono Bourbon remains somewhat intact, but a lot of it 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.

[[header: Other - Named Horse Girls]]

Unaffiliated/supporting horse girls, who are named after their real-life counterpart.

[[folder: Haru Urara]]
[[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.
* 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]].

[[folder: Seiun Sky]]
[[quoteright:140:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seiunsky_animefull.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AkariKitou

* 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.

* 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.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: As her name suggests, she has blue hair.

[[folder: Mejiro Ryan]]

->'''Voiced by''': Iori Saeki

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: In the game, her mother has a habit of calling her after races and issuing scathing verbal put-downs. ''Even if she won the race.'' Her CharacterDevelopment in the game consists mainly of finding a way to [[BeYourself be herself]] and get out of her mom's shadow.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: The RealLife King Halo had a bad 1998 season, but went on to perform better the following year. Being OutOfFocus, only her losses to Special Week are shown.
* FriendlyRivalry: She's one of the well-wishers lurking outside Special Week's dressing room prior to the Japan Cup, and cheers her on with all her heart.
* FurryReminder: When she's feeling particularly confident - or trying to fake it - she has a tendency to toss her head in a particularly horsey manner.
* JackOfAllTrades: In the game, she can get the highest rating for all race distances with a little bit of tweaking.

* PimpedOutDress: Her formal racing outfit has an enormous petticoat, decorative belts and piping, and embroidery along the hem.

* StockingFiller: Her racing outfit includes black stockings, and a matching garter.
* WorthyOpponent: After losing to Special Week (again), she explains that she's happy to have such a strong rival. Instead of being discouraged, she's inspired to work even harder.

[[folder: Oguri Cap]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oguricap_animefull.png]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AyanaTaketatsu (initial PV only), Tomoyo Takayanagi

* 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. [[spoiler:No wonder her ClarkKenting didn't work and she and Berno did catch reporter Fujii's attention.]]

* 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]]

* BeYourself: In her character story, [[spoiler:she really tries to emulate King Halo[[note]]who just happens to be real!Kawakami's father[[/note]] at first but ultimately, she decides to follow her own path of becoming a real princess.]]
* [[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.
** Her gacha appearance/skill activation animation also has her fight a monster, Pretty Cure-style - complete with the kicking.[[labelnote:sidenote]]There happens to be a real-life racehorse named [[https://www.jbis.jp/horse/0000759682/ TM Precure]] who will very likely not make it to Uma Musume due to Toei being very protective of their trademarks.

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.

* 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.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quiz_detail_image_25.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Shiori Sugiura

* BrattyHalfPint: Out of all the younger horsegirls, Tosho is easily the hardest to deal with - running away in the middle of class, mouthing off to pretty much everybody, trying to get "revenge" (in the form of pranks) on [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Fuji Kiseki, the dorm supervisor]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking refusing to eat her veggies]].
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: A loading screen reveals that she doesn't listen to anything her father says.[[note]]Likely a reference to the real Sweep Tosho's relationship with her jockey Kenichi Ikezoe.[[/note]]

->'''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''). [[note]]It seems the church is growing, as other popular horsegirls like Silence Suzuka and Daiwa Scarlet have stat/skill combinations that support this build.[[/note]]

* 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:
->'''Agnes Tachyon:''' ''[entirely serious]'' Trainer-san, what is it? What is this quality I lack?\\
'''Trainer:'''...Medical ethics?
* 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.

* DCupDistress: She notices people glance at her chest a lot [[{{Gainaxing}} when she's running]].
* {{Dojikko}}: '''Yes.''' Her gacha animation does [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSxeP3i_z_o everything]] to emphasize it.
* GagBoobs: Has the biggest bust in the game alongside Hishi Akebono, but is more noticeable on her due to being shorter.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Gravity and the Laws of Motion are her worst enemies.
* ShrinkingViolet: Her self-deprecation attitude matches Rice Shower's. Whereas Rice Shower canonically wins multiple races, Meisho Doto consistently loses them. She also considers her physical appearance unhealthy because everyone [[GagBoobs stares at her so often]].
* ThoseTwoGirls: Is mostly seen together with Matikanefukukitaru.

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

* AscendedExtra: She only had a minor apperance in the BNW OVA. Season 2 gave her a bigger role, down to having her own character ending song. She also appeared in the posters promoting the mobile game.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Very quiet and always following Mihono Bourbon, but [[spoiler:she's the one that takes the Triple Crown from her right at the end]].
* 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.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:She actually defeated Mihono Bourbon in the BNW OVA, but her victory was annulled due to the relay race's circumstances. Come Season 2, she had the chance to make her victory over Bourbon official.]]
* {{Heel}}: She refers to herself as one, and is devastated at how her victories only seem to make people upset.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Her reputation in the racing world is that of a "villain" that crushes the dreams of other Horse Girls. In spite of the "character" fans have assigned to her, Rice is a gentle and caring girl that is crushed by how the fans perceive her.
* PeekABangs: Her hair and hat cover the right side of her face, hinting at her extremely shy nature.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Has a very small frame, yet she can run a full 3200 meters course without breaking a sweat.
* RedBaron: She's known as ''Record-Breaking Black Assassin'', due to her tendency to defeat Horse Girls on the verge of achieving a major milestone.
* ShrinkingViolet: Rice is a soft-spoken, extremely shy girl with a kind heart. The perception of her as a dream-stealing villain in the racing world only makes her further withdraw into herself.
* StalkerWithACrush: She idolizes Mihono Bourbon, following her during morning runs and viewing her as an ideal Horse Girl.
* 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. [[spoiler:One of your objectives is to make her place in the top 3 at the Takarazuka Kinen (which was real!Rice's final race before his tragic death) - if you manage to ''make her win'', you get a special commentary line played:]]
->[[spoiler:Rice Shower! She crosses through the slope of Yodo[[note]]Yodo being the nickname for the Kyoto Racecourse - said racecourse has a very characteristic slope, which is where real!Rice suffered his fatal injury.[[/note]] to win the Takarazuka Kinen of her dreams!]]
* WorthyOpponent: Though Rice Shower thinks the other girls hate her, she eventually learns that many of them consider her an important rival that they want to defeat. In particular, [[spoiler: Mihono Bourbon confesses that since being defeated by Rice Shower, she considers the other girl her "Hero" for giving her a strong rival that she can work to overcome]].

** 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.
* 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.

* 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.[[/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.

[[folder: Riko Kashimoto]]
A former trainer from Central and a sitting council member in the URA organization. She was brought in to be a temporary chairman when chairman Akikawa was called on a long business trip to overseas.

* OriginalGeneration: First appeared alongside Little Cocon and Bitter Glasse in the Aoharu Hai arc of the game.
* SatelliteCharacter: Within the game's Aoharu Hai story mode, Little Cocon and Bitter Glasse seemed to orbit around her.

* MeaningfulName: Her name was derived from the Japanese proverb 待ちかね福来る[[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]]

* ClassRepresentative

* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Famous for her beauty, and considered possibly the "cutest Horse Girl of the century".

* BigEater: In an extremely low-key manner. One of her favourite pastimes on her days off is to go around town and try different cake shops, and a casual conversation in the game reveals that, by about mid-afternoon, she's already eaten at least five slices of cake (and proceeds to go for more afterwards).

* ThePerfectionist: How much? Let's just say that when going halfsies on cake, she ''pulls out a tape measure''.

->'''Voiced by''': Misaka Watada

* DoesNotLikeMen: Goodness gracious, '''yes'''. Not to mention that she behaves towards the player character completely differently depending on which gender the player picked.[[labelnote:trivia]]And it has a basis in real life as well! Her prototype horse was... [[PuttingItMildly quite reluctant]] towards stallions that wanted to mate with her.[[/labelnote]]

* ActionGirl: What's the first thing she does in her character story? Why, she picks up Daiwa Scarlet's report that was blown by the wind off the top of a tree! ...damaging a wall in the process, [[RealityEnsues which gets her in hot water with the student council]].

** Her gacha appearance/skill activation animation also has her fight a monster, Pretty Cure-style - complete with the kicking.[[labelnote:sidenote]]There happens to be a real-life racehorse named [[https://www.jbis.jp/horse/0000759682/ TM Precure]] who will very likely not make it to Uma Musume due to Toei being very protective of their trademarks. It's very likely Cygames incorporated MagicalGirl elements into Kawakami Princess instead, making this a likely case of a CompositeCharacter.([[/labelnote]]

* FilleFatale: 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.]]

* OriginalGeneration: First appeared in ''Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray''. She was based on the (at the time) Kasamatsu-based racehorse North Hero.

->'''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.[[/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.]]

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]]
