{Umamusumes are human women with small horse-like traits, such as having ears, a tail, incredible stamina and durability and having inhuman running capabilities, alongside their aging dramatically slowing down once they’re in their early twenties. Aside from these traits, they’re identical to human women. All umamusume have the natural instinct to run, which manifests in them partaking in races as athletes. Additionally, many umamusume partake in idol activities by singing and dancing. However, they can still partake in other sports and some of them decide to not race at all. They can run up to 40 miles per hour.} {Due to their unique physical capabilities, umamusume compete against one another rather than against humans. Their sport of choice is typically umamusume racing, or just races. These are essentially track and field-esque races with tracks of varying lengths, and these races are held all year-round. Betting on these races is illegal, but the participants get a payout depending on how popular or prestigious the race is as an incentive and an additional help. Races typically have one or two live commentators, there’s bleachers outside the track so audience members can see the races live.} {A prestigious japanese academic institution for umamusume, with the goal of training its students so they can eventually debut in the Twinkle Series or participate in other prestigious races. It offers a curriculum from middle school all the way to high school, and many students remain involved with the institution after graduation due to it supporting higher education as well. All students reside in dorms, and Tracen Academy typically covers most of their living expenses. Tracen additionally employs trainers to help their students in their racing goals. Umamusume are typically scouted by a trainer, and their trainer works together with them to meet a joint goal (such as winning the autumn Tenno Sho or the Triple Tiara).} (トレセン学園, Toresen Gakuen) is a boarding school for Umamusume located in Tokyo, Japan. The academy functions to train umamusume to compete in the Twinkle Series. Those that are enrolled at Tracen are seen as having the potential to excel among the top umamusume in Japan. Tracen Academy is comprised of several facilities designed to help students reach their goals. Main School Building Cafeteria Dormitories Library Training Track Training Pool Training Gym Dance Studio Outdoor Dance Stages In addition to these on-site facilities, Tracen Academy students also have access to training off-site at external locations. The only known external training camp is the beach summer camp. Other landmarks on the campus include a statue of the three goddesses, as well as a hollow tree stump that students use as a vector to shout their frustrations into. Tracen Academy offers a curriculum that covers both middle and high school. Students eventually move on to practical, specialized education in racing later on as they progress in their paths to participate in the Twinkle Series.} {Umamusume start a race from a gate (starting line) and immediately enter the "Early" stage, which constitutes the first (1/6) of the total course. During this phase, they accelerate from zero and attempt to establish their designated formation/position based on their strategy.} {Umamusume wait until a alarms blares from the gate. This signals for them to run.} ●The Start Check: A quick-time event (QTE) occurs right before the race begins; timing this perfectly in the green zone ensures a strong start, allowing the umamusume to "shoot off like a rocket". ●Acceleration Stage: The initial phase is focused on reaching a base "cruise" speed, rather than top speed, which is determined by the character's strategy. Strategy Impact: Characters with "Late" or ●"End" strategies will intentionally start slower to conserve stamina. Track Aptitude: A low track type aptitude (e.g., dirt) severely hinders acceleration at the start.} {Almond Eye, student at tracen. Biography "Of course I like racing; the whole thing is fun, after all. From competing to winning." Excelling at both academics and athletics, she also has the makings of a star; she is the ultimate model student, flawless in all aspects. She was only able to achieve this, however, thanks to her defining trait of absolutely hating to lose, a trait which must be prefaced with no fewer than nine "really"s. She's competitive to a point of perfectionism, and the one flaw in her shining qualities is that she often pushes herself beyond her body's limits. Secrets: She can put on a good puppet show using Umamusume plushies. She is a morning porridge person. Appearance Almond Eye has long, smooth light brown hair that cascades past her shoulders, with a gentle inward curl at the tips. The inner layer of the hair is light blue with a soft lavender gradient and small sparkles. A single, tight braid wraps from the back to the side of her head, secured with a black ribbon. She has a headband with a large white bow that has black tips, framing her left ear. Her bangs part neatly at the center, revealing a white highlight in the middle of her forehead that resembles a small cross-like sparkle. Small hair clips and accessories decorate the right side of her hair. Her eyes are lavender with sparkling blue gradients that grow lighter toward the bottom. Her irises feature intricate star-shaped pupils. Her race outfit is a detailed pastel blue idol dress. The bodice is a pale blue, corset-like top with white frills along the neckline and down the chest, tied at the neck with a choker-style ribbon. Red, button-like accents trail down the front, contrasting the cool color scheme. Puffy, off-shoulder white sleeves are adorned with yellow bows, and a set of blue fingerless gloves cover her hands. The skirt is multilayered, alternating between white, blue, and black ruffled tiers, with a large red bow at the front of her waist and a smaller black bow beneath the left hip bearing her name in blue. Two long, diamond-patterned tails hang from her hips, giving the impression of stylized banners. White thigh-high stockings. trimmed with sky-blue straps with pink gradient, rise up her legs, while her ankles are wrapped in curling pastel pink and blue loops. Her shoes are vibrant blue high-top sneakers with white soles and gold emblems on the tongues. Red bows adorn the laces.
