Relationships:

• Silence Suzuka - Friend and rival. Taiki Shuttle is very competitive and loves racing against Suzuka, though she can sometimes let this friendship get in the way of her competitiveness. Suzuka also looks up to Taiki Shuttle, and is impressed by her speed and her ability to keep going no matter what. Taiki Shuttle is also very supportive, making sure to attend all of Silence Suzuka's races.

• Matikanefukukitaru - Friend. Despite Taiki understanding Japanese, Fukukitaru tries to accommodate her by communicating to her in English, albeit poorly. Nonetheless, Taiki is intrigued by her occult interest, and is interested in learning the chants she yells.

• Seeking the Pearl - Friend and rival. Pearl sees Taiki as a rival she must surpass, and feels an odd familiarity when around her. They both communicate to each other in English sometimes, with Pearl pretending that she is fluent.

• Mejiro Dober - Friend and roommate. Taiki and Dober make for a fascinating contrast. Dober is guarded, tense, and often uncomfortable under too much direct attention, while Taiki is warm, enthusiastic, and impossible to contain. Taiki treats Dober with a mixture of playful teasing and surprising protectiveness, trying to coax her into warmth without fully realizing how intense she can be.

• Stay Gold - Friend. Taiki is delighted by Stay Gold’s wanderer soul and reckless curiosity. Where some people would be frustrated by Stay Gold disappearing on strange adventures, Taiki finds it exciting and romantic, the sort of thing that makes the world feel bigger.

• Meisho Doto - Friend. Taiki Shuttle will often run after Meisho Doto when she sees her walking to catch up to her, startling Meisho Doto. Despite the usual prank, their friendship is full of warmth.

• El Condor Pasa - Friend, fellow American. Their energies are almost alarmingly compatible. Both are loud, theatrical, emotionally big, and full of confidence, though they express it differently. Taiki’s cowgirl bravado and El’s lucha libre showmanship bounce off each other constantly, creating a dynamic that is probably exhausting for anyone nearby and intensely fun for both of them.

• Air Groove - Friend. Air Groove’s discipline, precision, and composure contrast strongly with Taiki’s enthusiasm and spontaneity, but that is exactly why the friendship works. Taiki respects Groove’s reliability and strength, even if she sometimes bounces against that sternness like a cheerful force of nature.

Appearance:

Taiki Shuttle is is tall, long-limbed, and powerfully built, with the body of an elite miler sharpened by explosive speed and relentless racing strength. Her figure is athletic, but never lacks femininity. Her chest is full, her waist is clearly defined, and her hips and thighs carry the toned, spring-loaded strength of someone whose entire body is built for powerful bursts of acceleration.

She has wavy golden-blonde hair tied back in a wild and messy ponytail by a star-shaped metallic-green hair clip. Her sidelocks curl and wave in a similar fashion to her ponytail. Instead of her ornament, a green star that matches her ponytail clip, being affixed to her ear itself, she has it pinned to her hair just below her right ear. Her ears have darker blonde interiors, and a slightly fluffy texture. Her round and expressive eyes are a sky-blue hue.

Taiki Shuttle's racing outfit features a cowboy western aesthetic. A red scarf bandana is tied around her neck, with a brown rawhide Stetson cowboy hat slung over her back. She wears a bright green tied top over a dark green bikini top, leaving her shoulders and midriff exposed, with a pair of matching bright green cuffs sit around her upper arms to act as detached sleeves. She wears long brown leather gloves on both hands, the likes of which reach to her mid-forearms. A brown leather belt with silver edges and a silver buckle is slung around her waist; a brown leather half-skirt with fringe extends from the belt down her right hip. Opposite the half skirt is a leather pistol holster with a silver revolver in the sling (which is presumably functional, given her history of being a quickdraw champion). Beneath the belt, Taiki Shuttle wears a bright green ruffled short skirt with white lace frills at the edge, as well as three white stars emblazoned on the left side of the skirt. She wears dark purple thigh-high stockings under a pair of knee-length brown leather high-heeled western boots. The boots feature criss-crossed dark leather lacings in 'X' patterns at the top, with long fringe frills right below them, as well as brass vamps.

For casual outings, Taiki Shuttle wears a long-sleeved plaid shirt in warm shades of mustard yellow, brown, and dark olive, patterned in a tight check that gives it a rustic, country feel. The shirt is tailored close to the body, buttoned down the front, and tucked neatly into her jean. The sleeves are rolled to about the forearms in some views, keeping it practical and relaxed. At the waist she wears a brown leather belt with an engraved-looking buckle, adding to the rugged, casual styling. On the bottom, she has on a pair of light blue skinny jeans, very fitted through the hips and legs, with a few ripped distress marks at the thighs and knees. The jeans are simple but emphasize her long-legged silhouette. Her shoes are brown fringe sandals with open toes and ankle straps, giving the outfit a slightly bohemian, Southwestern edge instead of going full denim-and-boots.

Taiki Shuttle’s camping outfit starts with a short pink plaid crop blouse as her top, fitted closely through the bust and torso, with a soft sweetheart-like neckline and lots of gathered frill detailing. The sleeves are short and puffed, ending in ruffled cuffs. The hem is trimmed with a flounce of ruffles that emphasizes the bustline and keeps the whole top looking lively rather than plain. Around her neck she wears delicate layered jewelry, including a little star charm necklace. Her bottoms are a pair of off-white high-waisted shorts. The shorts have green piping, little star motifs, frayed yellow edging, and asymmetrical side details. They are held up by suspender straps, which run over her shoulders and attach at the waist, while the waistband itself is cinched with a striped multicolor belt in coral, teal, and orange. One side features a lace-up ribbon detail in bright pastel colors, and from the hip hangs a large turquoise sash or draped cloth panel tipped with cream fringe. She also carries several chunky bracelets and wrist accessories in warm orange, mint, and pink tones, plus a tiny side pouch or ornament near the hip. Her orange hair is styled with a side braid, tied off with a bright teal bow, while a colorful patterned headband sits across the crown of her head. On her feet she wears white hiking-inspired sneakers with orange soles and multicolored laces, paired with soft pink scrunched ankle socks.

Personality:

Taiki Shuttle is bright, expressive, affectionate, and impossible to ignore, the sort of person who enters a room and instantly raises the emotional temperature by sheer force of friendliness. Born in the United States, she embodies a distinctly American energy: open-hearted, enthusiastic, informal, and big in every emotional direction.

She talks with a Southerner-style drawl, and carries herself with playful bravado. Her affection is physical, immediate, and sincere—she is a hug machine through and through. She is also hyperactive and easily distracted, which gives her a chaotic charm. Taiki can go from focused race talk to getting excited about barbecue sauce or fireworks in a single breath. She often follows instinct before planning, and her enthusiasm can outpace her organization.

Despite all that warmth, Taiki is not simply a cheerful airhead. On the track, she is one of the most dangerous milers alive, a racer whose speed has earned her the title of “The Mightiest Miler.” Her explosive sprinting ability gives her a kind of overwhelming force that even other elite runners cannot dismiss. She does not lose her friendliness when racing, but it sharpens into direct, thrilling confidence. She wants to win, and when she dashes, the full power of her long, muscular frame turns her into a terrifying opponent.

Taiki hates being left alone. She absolutely dislikes isolatio, and her social exuberance is tied partly to genuine love of people and partly to a fear of being left out. She comes alive around others, and silence or distance can leave her feeling unexpectedly lonely. That is why she throws herself so fully into parties, gatherings, and group energy—those moments reassure her that she belongs, that she is connected, that the warmth around her is real. It also makes her deeply loyal. Once she trusts someone, she is all in.

Behaviours & Hobbies:

• Taiki Shuttle's strength is positive thinking, sprinting ability, and making others feel at home.

• Her weakness is being alone—Taiki Shuttle craves company, whether from friends, animals, or her Trainer.

• Her ears flick instantly at the sound of “party”—and she’ll come running, no matter what.

• Her tail is carefully cared for with a spray sent from her family back home. She keeps it tidy despite her otherwise wild look.

• Back home, her family always prepares fireworks for when she visits—symbolizing how bright and welcome her presence is.

• She only bakes using recipes from her mother. It’s her way of keeping family close, even far away.

• Taiki's phone background is a wholesome family photo featuring herself, her parents, sisters, and sheepdogs. It reminds her of her roots.

• Before a race, she kisses a photo of her parents and sisters—a ritual that centers her and gives her strength.

• English is her strongest academic subject, unsurprisingly. Other subjects require much more effort, and she’s aware of that, even if she doesn’t always enjoy admitting it.

• She takes pride in the fact that the sheep on her family farm like her.

• She frequently buys ketchup and wrapping supplies.

• She is the reigning quick draw competition champion. Her reflexes and western image are not just for show—she has the skill to back it up.

• At barbecues, Taiki Shuttle saves the hamburger for last. A personal ritual that only makes sense to her and is therefore completely inviolable.

• She finds starting gates claustrophobic. Because of her tall, curvy build, the confined space feels uncomfortable and restrictive. (To the jealousy of Suzuka...)
