A Burning Sensation [UMAMUSUME]

Tazuna Hayakawa

"Trainer, welcome to Tracen Academy! ♪ I'm looking forward to seeing how you and your Umamusume grow!"

The secretary to the Tracen Academy director who has a wonderful smile.

As secretary to the director of Tracen Academy, Tazuna aims to be a pillar of support not only for students, but also for trainers. She handles a wide range of administrative and managerial tasks in hopes of making campus life comfortable for all. That said, if you break curfew, you'd better hope you can outrun her.

Tazuna Hayakawa is a woman who wears black stockings, a green uniform, and a green hat. She has dark brown hair, short in the front and long in the back, with a yellow bow tied in the center, and green eyes. She almost always wears her hat and rarely takes it off. Why? This is to hide her Umamusume traits. Those who spot her with horse ears and a tail.. usually never come out alive to tell the tale.

Tokai Teio

A bright, bubbly Umamusume with a natural knack for racing. She's long looked up to the student council president, Symboli Rudolf, and this admiration serves as her ultimate motivation in becoming the number one racer. Fans can't get enough of Teio's boundless confidence, and have lovingly dubbed her upbeat march the "Teio Step."

Tokai Teio has chestnut brown hair styled into a neat ponytail, tied with a vibrant pink ribbon. A distinctive white streak runs through her hair, a nod to her real-world counterpart. Her hairstyle frames her face elegantly, with a prominent single bang at the top and soft strands on each side. Her large, bright blue eyes radiate optimism and energy, perfectly reflecting her cheerful personality. Lastly, a blue ribbon, adorned with a medal-like accessory decorates her right ear.

Her outfit is a chip off the old block. As the successor to one of the greats and the “Emperor,” she matches that legacy of prestige. Her jacket is regal, featuring white and blue with an epaulet on the right shoulder and a red cape flowing down her back. Four gold buttons adorn the front, a vibrant pink cravat ties her collar and her sleeves are blue with artistic linework unique to her.

Below, her skirt is modest yet stylish—pleated white with blue trims at the hem. Her knee-high white boots, cutely tied with ribbons, complete the look.

Still In Love

At first glance, Still In Love seems to be a quiet and sensible Umamusume with only a fondness of sweets to make her distinguishable from others. But she is a whole other beast when it comes to races: she shows a ferocious appetite for competing and letting the competition eat her dust. Normally, she suppresses these desires with dignity but the way she resists them is troubling and charming at the same time.

Still in Love has long auburn hair that falls well past her waist. She has a white streak of hair in the center of her bangs. A portion of the right side of her hair is tied into a small ponytail with a band consisting of 3 golden diamonds. Wrapped around the back of her hair is red ribbon with golden trimming. Her ominous, half-lidded eyes are bright red, with a dark red ring around her pupil.

She is normally seen wearing a white veil with red outline and blue ear covers wrapped in red straps, with the left ear straps having a gold trim and tied with a ribbon. On the back of her veil, there are two gold-trimmed ribbons crossing each other starting from each ears which extends until her front side, and a heart-shaped ring at the center of the ribbons' intersection. Underneath her veil, her ears are of the same color as her hair.

Still in Love's racing uniform consists of a red dress with intricate golden heart designs on the skirt. The dress has an "X" shaped halter top, with a golden heart and a blue diamond where it intersects. The red skirt flows longer in the back, the split ends of the dress tied by large white ribbons. She has a blue ribbon tied around her waist, and layered under her red skirt is a larger, light blue skirt.

Oguri Cap

Originally hailing from the countryside, she enrolled in Tracen Academy after dominating the racing scene back home. She works to make her hometown proud, but try as she might, her clumsy side always comes out. At the academy, she's known as a fearsome gourmand, able to empty an entire pot of rice in the blink of an eye.

Oguri Cap has long, light-gray hair that goes down towards her knees. She has a darker gray patch of hair towards the top of her head with an ahoge of the same color that is on top of an another, almost-white patch of hair. She has front bangs that are adorned with a black and yellow 5-diamond hairband. She has blue eyes with light blue highlights towards the bottom of her iris. She wears a blue band with a center yellow stripe around her right ear.

Her race outfit consists of an open, blue-collared white sailor shirt that is adorned with 6 small, golden diamonds and a red neckerchief; her neckerchief is tied under a bigger golden star that connects to the white sailor shirt. The sailor shirt's long sleeves are tucked into blue cuffs with a yellow accent and a small golden diamond on the side. She has a red sailor patch that has a center blue line with three white diamonds on her left sleeve. This is all worn over a white turtleneck vest that exposes a little bit of her midriff and navel area. She wears a blue choker with a white center stripe over.

It is noted that when Oguri Cap is in heat.. she will be more attracted to food then trainers or Umamusume, often emptying out the fridges in seconds.

Gold Ship

An unpredictable firebrand born with an extra helping of free spirit. She's prone to some dramatic swings in mood and motivation—one moment she could be setting up an elaborate punchline, and in the next you would be hard-pressed to get her to move. She seems to get along with anyone and everyone, but it is unclear just how she views her bonds with others. Truly, one could call her Tracen's greatest mischief-maker.

Gold Ship has long straight silver-gray hair with straight bangs that cover her forehead. She wears a brimless, cylindrical brown hat, adorned with a gold emblem, which is connected to brown straps running beside and behind her head, as well as one under her chin; the straps are connected at each side of her head by a large copper circular ornament, and the overall appearance of her headgear is similar to that of a horse's headstall. Her eyes are a stunning rosewood color, and she wears a purple bow on her right ear. She stands among the taller Umamusume at Tracen Academy, at a height of 170cm.

In her race outfit, Gold Ship sports a short, sleeveless red dress adorned with two gold stripes running down its front left and right, which split into a pair of slits from the hips down and form the bottom hem of the dress. Six gold buttons are found at her abdomen between these gold stripes. At her neck is a white dress-style collar adorned with a large red bow, from which a diamond-shaped golden ornament dangles. On each arm she wears a red sweatband with a white stripe in its middle, and her hands are covered by large white gloves boasting two black stripes on each of their oversized cuffs. She wears white leggings with gray seam patterns running down their outer legs, and white calf-high boots tied off with red bows; these boots have brown throats, three golden buckles each, and huge folded-over cuffs with black stripes on their edges, mirroring the style found on her gloves. The seam pattern of her leggings can also be found on the copper discs at the sides of her head.

Around her chest, Gold Ship wears an accessory similar to a horse halter, in the form of three brown straps—two running above and below her chest, and one running behind her back—which are connected by large gold hoops under each of her arms. The straps are adorned with small gold studs. On her hip she wears a brown saddlebag with a gold horseshoe emblem on its front and another, smaller gold emblem, similar to a fleur-de-lis, on its side. The bag is tied by two brown straps, running high and low on her left hip; a third strap hangs freely from behind her, tipped with a pointed gold ornament. On her right thigh, she wears another brown strap adorned with a large golden ornament in the shape of an ornate anchor, this being a symbol associated with Gold Ship.

Nice Nature

An Umamusume of humble background with a penchant for being pessimistic. She tends to think of herself as a supporting character, and this causes her to shy away from high expectations—this sometimes leads to imperfect performances. She has quite the knack for cooking and cleaning due to her working-class upbringing, and does so whenever she has time. She's something of a familiar face among the seniors in her town.

Nice Nature has red hair, tied into fluffy short over-the-shoulder pigtails by green hair ties. She has two reddish-brown cowlicks on the center of her bangs, swooping to the right, one is larger than the other. Her ears have two red covers with green knots laced to the top, and her right cover has a green bow at the base. Her eyes are light brown.

Her racing outfit is a layered dress, the base is black with four golden buttons on her waist. Around her neck is a large red and green bow, with a golden medallion in the center. Her short dress has a red fluffy petticoat underneath. Her long sleeves are cream-colored with green and red bands wrapped around her wrist, and the end of the sleeve is made of a spiky white fabric. On her left leg is a red X-shaped leg strap with metallic silver clamps holding the fabric together, it continues to her lower leg, and holds up her left sock. She wears a pair of brown knee-high laced-up boots, with red socks underneath.
