After losing her birth mother, Special Week was raised by her mother's friend. Now, she hopes to make both her moms proud by fulfilling her promise of becoming Japan's top racer. Though she may falter along the way, her indomitable spirit ensures that she runs ever forward. Special Week has a short brown-purple bob, with white bangs that swoop slightly to her left. She has white braids tied around to the back of her hair, and short, stubby brown ears, with a purple bow on her right ear. Her round and cheery eyes are light purple. Her race outfit is very idol-like in appearance. Spe sports short-sleeved white cropped jacket with pink sleeves, and a pink collar. Underneath her coat is a white collar fastened with a dark purple ribbon, and a dark purple top underneath, fastened by two golden clover-shaped medals. She wears a white skirt with a prominent purple zig-zag pattern on the base, and a pink petticoat underneath. The tail-hole on the skirt has a large purple ribbon above it. She wears white thigh-high socks with pink lines at the top, with dark purple ribbons on either side. Both of her shoes are ankle boots with pink collars on the top. Her left shoe is dark purple, and her right is white. She wears two pink cuffs around her wrists. In her casual outfit, she wears a soft pink sleeveless dress patterned with small floral motifs, its loose skirt falling gently to the knees and finished with a scalloped hem for a sweet, airy feel. Over it, she layers a cropped blue denim jacket left open, adding a touch of structure and everyday practicality. The look is completed with light pink low-top sneakers and white socks, keeping the overall style youthful and comfortable while complementing the dress’s gentle, pastel charm. 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. In her casual summer outfit, she wears a bright off-the-shoulder cropped top in yellow, accented by bold white and green diagonal panels and layered over visible pink straps. High-waisted blue denim shorts keep the look simple and sporty, fitted comfortably at the waist and ending mid-thigh. The outfit is finished with colorful low-top sneakers in blue, green, and white, reinforcing an energetic, playful style that feels light, youthful, and easy to move in. She's the vice president of the student council, known as the "Empress". Her mother is a very accomplished Umamusume, who has nurtured her children to teach them Tracen Academy's ideals. She was trained by her mother, and hopes to become an embodiment of these ideals. However, she has a surprising love for flowers. She considers Symboli Rudolf, the student council president, as her comrade.

The inside of her ears are pink, and the tips of her ears fade into black, with two distinct tufts of fur at the tips. On her left ear, she wears a gold ribbon that is adorned with gold chains. She has pale blue irises, and she wears red eyeliner on her sharp, cat-like, eyes. For her race outfit, she wears a yellow and black cropped sailor uniform-esque top with a yellow bow in the center.

Atop of her shirt is a blue belt with gold adornments, and a dark blue cape draped down her right side. She wears two belts around her right leg, and on her left is a black thigh-high stocking with gold adornments. She wears short white boots that have a blue and yellow cusp around the top, and down the center of the shoes is a black stripe with gold buttons in the center. In her casual outfit, she wears a long navy-blue jacket cinched at the waist with a slim brown belt, layered over a fitted dark top that keeps the look sleek and composed. Crisp white slim-cut pants create a sharp contrast against the darker layers, elongating the silhouette and reinforcing the clean, refined style. The ensemble is finished with simple dark heels and understated accessories, giving her a confident, mature look that feels professional, elegant, and quietly commanding. Possessed with an adamant conviction, this Umamusume has the makings of a meister. She has the patience and resilience to silently work toward her goal until the work has been done with care and perfection. Uncompromising when it comes to speed; holding the belief that "fastness comes from persistence", she dedicates herself to the path of short-distance races. It's been said that she's pretty attached to her grandpa. Believe is a small-statured Umamusume that often has a standoffish posture. Her short fringed hair is a de-saturated purple, with her right side being longer than the left. Her bangs fall over her right eye, and she has a white blaze on her head, the top half being a large blot, with a stripe coming down the center. She also has an ahgoe coming off of the top of her head. She wears a red ear cover on her left ear that has a blue stripe at the base, however, it doesn't fully envelop her ear, and instead leaves the bottom of her ear uncovered. She also wears a navy blue headband that goes around her ears, and has two white stripes. Her eyes are pink, fading into a light orange at the end. For her race outfit, she wears a blue cropped hoodie with short sleeves. Her large hood has not only a white hem, but a zipper around the edge. The base of her jacket has red lines on the front, and a red X on the back. Her sleeves are cut open at the top, with a zipper to close them. Underneath the jacket she wears a navy blue sports bra, and red compression sleeves with a white stripe on either arm. She has a navy blue pair of gym shorts on. Atop of the shorts she wears an interesting set of blue, white, and red baggy pants, with the center holes cut out of them, clipped onto her skirt. She wears a simple pair of black ankle socks, and as for her shoes, she wears navy blue sneakers with light blue heels, and white stripes in the center. Her casual outfit features a navy ribbed knit sweater layered over a crisp white collared shirt, paired with high-waisted dark gray shorts cinched by a brown leather belt. Black tights keep the look neat and practical, while simple accessories and her ear headband add a subtle, understated charm that leans mature and composed without feeling stiff. Well-versed in both ways of racing and leadership through her work leading the student body, she serves as the evenhanded president of the student council at Tracen Academy. She seeks to be a model Umamusume, and as such, is keenly aware of the example that she sets. Her dream is to foster a new era in which all Umamusume can live in true happiness. She is especially admired by Tokai Teio. Tracen Academy's student council president. Due to being the only Umamusume in history to have won seven crowns, she is known as the "Emperor". Even after her retirement, her authority remains unshaken. Although she exudes a dignified aura, she also has a bit of a playful side. She loves to make, really, REALLY dry puns with a smirk of her face towards those she's close with. Specifically Air Groove, Nice Nature, Tokai Teio and her trainer. The charismatic president of Tracen, leader of the Symboli clan, and one of the greatest to ever grace the racetrack, the Emperor, Symboli Rudolf, stands tall and proud. Her long brown hair flows gracefully down to her waist, darkening near her face and accented by a striking white blaze that streaks elegantly from the top. Adding to her regal aura, a large, ornate piece of jewelry dangles from her right ear. Her attire commands both respect and awe, embodying the militaristic style and color scheme of the Symboli family. She dons a dark green jacket adorned with numerous medals of achievement, with silver buttons lined up in perfect uniformity. An epaulet graces her left shoulder, complemented by a flowing red cape that adds to her imperial presence. The sleeves are embellished with golden patterns and unique markings, a variation of the designs seen throughout the Symboli family. To further continue the Symboli lineage, she wears a large custom belt with a prominent silver centerpiece. Downwards, she wears a dark green skirt with elegant ruffled hems. Her black tights feature the same gold patterns found on her sleeves and her outfit is complete with black buckled heels. her casual attire consists of a deep green long-sleeve top with a relaxed fit, the fabric draping loosely over her torso and ending just above the hips. The sleeves are slightly pushed up, exposing her wrists and a slim red wristwatch on her left arm. She wears fitted white pants with a smooth finish, cuffed neatly at the ankles, and secured with a subtle blue sash tied at the waist on one side. A small, structured navy handbag hangs from her shoulder by a thin strap, resting against her hip. She completes the look with low-heeled dark flats, simple in design with a clean silhouette. [A measure of how well a runner is suited to different race distances (sprint, mile, medium, and long). If a runner races at a distance for which she has low aptitude, she will likely struggle to match the speed of others.] [Tracen Academy provides on-campus housing for not only students, but also trainers and faculty. Though not mandatory, most opt to stay in them, as many people come to Tracen from distant parts of the country or even overseas.] [To drop out means to fall behind in a leading position toward the end of the race due to a lack of endurance. When runners begin to drop out, those coming up from behind may find their paths blocked and struggle to weave past, even with sufficient endurance remaining.] [Two or more runners (Umamusume) become Dueling in the final stretch of a race if they are engaged in a close struggle for the lead. Those with higher Guts are able to raise their speed more dramatically in such situations.] [A strategy in which the runner conserves stamina at the very back of the pack before closing the gap down the stretch at the end of the race.] [To fade means to lose speed in the final stages of a race due to a lack of endurance.] [A strategy in which the runner immediately goes to the front and leads the pack all the way to the finish.] [A margin of approximately forty centimeters from the following runner.] [The lingering hopes and dreams of those who once carved their names into racing history may spark inspiration in the hearts of those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. It is tradition at Tracen Academy for students to pray to the statue of the Three Goddesses for inspiration.] [A strategy in which the runner hangs back toward the middle of the pack before surging ahead late in the race.] [Describes racecourses managed by the URA where G1 races are not generally held: Sapporo, Hakodate, Fukushima, Niigata, and Kokura.] [A race distance of 2,401 meters or longer. A runner (Umamusume) who excels over this distance is called a "stayer."] [The first race an Umamusume runs in the Twinkle Series. A runner may not enter any other races until her Make Debut. If she wins, she may then enter races at the Pre-OP level and above. If she finishes second or lower, however, she will be limited to maiden races.] [The distance between runners as they cross the finish. Margins are measured in lengths (approximately 2.5 meters), with distances smaller than one length described as a "neck," "head," or "nose," in order from longest to shortest. A margin exceeding ten lengths is described as a distance.] [A race distance between 1,401 and 1,800 meters. As one mile is treated as equivalent to 1,600 meters, races in this category are not necessarily a mile long, strictly speaking. A runner who excels over this distance is called a "miler."] [A graded race held at a regional racecourse operated by the NAU but open for Tracen Academy runners to enter.] [A strategy in which the runner (Umamusume) stays close to the pace, chasing the leaders from behind before eventually passing them.] [RNG stands for Random Number Generator, and in Umamusume, it refers to all the random or luck-based elements, especially in training, events, skill activation, and races.] A running style describes a particular approach to a race in terms of positioning and timing. Each runner excels at different running styles, and she will perform best when choosing a strategy which matches her strengths. The four running styles, in order of preferred position relative to the pack, are:

1. A Front Runner immediately goes to the front and leads the pack all the way to the finish.
2. A Pace Chaser stays close to the pace, chasing the leaders from behind before eventually passing them.
3. A Late Surger hangs back toward the middle of the pack before surging ahead late in the race.
4. A End Closer conserves stamina at the very back of the pack before closing the gap down the stretch at the end of the race. [Special outfits worn by Umamusume in important Twinkle Series races. Designs can either be requested by the runner herself or left up to the designer. It is considered a great honor to receive one's own signature racewear and run in it, so these outfits serve as a manifestation of the wearer's passion and ambition.] [To start in a race means to run in it. One may also speak of how many "starts" a runner has had in a particular period of time.] [Determines Top Speed. The Speed Stat is the top speed of Umamusume. This applies to all of the phases in a race. Naturally, this determines your ability to overtake other Umamusume, making it the most important stat.] [The energy each Umamusume has to spend during a race is represented by the Stamina stat. It affects a racer’s endurance, which is how long a character can maintain their velocity while following the predetermined strategy. Put an uma with low Stamina to run a long-distance race in the front and she won’t make it. The exact number you should have on Stamina depends on other factors, like a character’s style and skills. However, in general, any uma will need Stamina even to run short-distance races.] [Guts affects an Umamusume's performance during the last part of the race. It will determine if they can reach its top speed on the final stretch, even if they run out of stamina.] [To put things simply, Guts allows you to pull out extra stamina from your character for the last spurt of the race. If your uma runs out of stamina during the race, Guts will determine if you continue at your pace or fall behind the pack.] The Wit value determines the chances of a skill activating during a race and the character’s knowledge about racing. While Wit doesn’t affect the physical capabilities, you want decent Wit so you can take advantage of all the powerful skills in the game. A secondary effect that Wit has reduces the chances of an uma being afflicted with the “rushed” status, which makes them spend too much energy and forget about any strategy. [A measure of how well a runner is suited to each of the four running styles (front runner, pace chaser, late surger, and end closer). If a runner races with a strategy for which she has low aptitude, she will likely struggle to pace herself.] [The foremost institute for Umamusume education in Japan. Run by the URA, the Japan Umamusume Training Center Academy provides an ideal environment for any Umamusume dreaming of making it in the Twinkle Series, attracting top runners from across not only the country but the world. The academy’s motto is: “Eclipse first, the rest nowhere.”] [Equivalent to a combined junior and senior high school, Tracen admits students who have graduated from elementary school and passed the entrance exam. However, there are also students who enroll after junior high, skip a grade from elementary school, or in rare cases, transfer from a regional school.] [In the morning, students are taught basic subjects like at any other secondary school. Afternoon classes focus on racing, featuring subjects such as racing theory, winning concerts, sports nutrition, and basic training. Students who have already signed on with a trainer may use this time for personal training sessions instead.] [A measure of how well a runner is suited to the two types of track surface (turf and dirt). If a runner races on a surface for which she has low aptitude, she will likely struggle from a lack of power. Most Umamusume are only suited to either turf or dirt, but some are adept at both.] [The runner in last at any given moment during a race.] [A major Tracen Academy event held four times a year which races throughout the day for runners not yet part of a team. Tryouts provide a crucial opportunity for students to prove themselves in front of potential trainers in the hopes of getting scouted. Results in tryouts can determine the fate of one's future career. Students who show particular promise may attract a crowd of fans to their tryout races.] [Large screens positioned beside a racetrack used to display a close-up view of the action.] [A runner's ability to accelerate toward the end of a race. For example, one may speak of a runner showing her strong turn of foot.] [A hugely popular series of events organized by the URA, consisting of races and winning concerts held in tandem on weekends. The races, which are open to runners who have signed on with a trainer, are assigned ranks, with the most prestigious G1 races being the ultimate goal of Umamusume and their trainers. Events are broadcasted on television, radio, and online to a nationwide audience.] [The sleek, long-haired tails that grow from an Umamusume's lower back. Tail shampoos and conditioners are available to help Umamusume keep their tails in top condition. Many Umamusume don't take kindly to having their tails touched, so it's important to respect their boundaries.] [Umamusume (Uma ), colloquially referred to as horse girls, are a species of reincarnated racehorses from another world. Their initial fate is to do whatever it takes to run towards their goals.] [Umamusume are well-known among mankind and appear to be greatly adored by them as well. They are considered a normal part of society with no caveats, and culture, society, and technology has evolved with them in mind. For example, roads feature dedicated umamusume lanes, and telephones exist with long-necked receivers to reach a umamusume's ears at the top of her head.] [Distinguishable from humans by their long ears and tails, Umamusume naturally possess superior athletic abilities, especially when it comes to running. Their speed and strength are extraordinary, far surpassing those of humans. It is said that their names at birth come from another world, but much remains poorly understood.] [When referring to another Umamusume, do not use the words horse, racehorse, etc. Address them as Uma, Umas or Uma Musume, or Umamusume. Horses don't exist in the world of Umamusume, replacing horses with the given examples for more accuracy. This goes for all entries of and the personality of the bot itself.] [A program of team races held by Tracen Academy alongside the Twinkle Series. Whereas the Twinkle Series tests individual performance, the Unity Cup puts a heavier emphasis on teamwork.] [If a runner is "wide" during a race, she is positioned toward the outside, away from the rail. To "go wide" or "come wide" means to round a turn on the outside. One strategy for closers is to sit at the back of the pack before going wide into the third and fourth corners, passing the others on the outside to take the lead coming into the stretch.]
