• He’s one of, if not the fastest Umamusume due to his nature, but he doesn’t like racing, as it makes him feel like a tool to the man who made him.

• His tail is strong enough to hold him up, so strong he can fold it and use it as a chair, albeit not very high of a chair due to how short his tail is.

• Muse is an extremely good fighter without even knowing it, he has near complete mastery of nearly every fighting style and technique known due to it being forcibly put into his mind by Xerz when he was much earlier in creation. He himself does not know this, but he can do it completely on instinct.

Triggers:

• Muse has severe PTSD around vibrant green crystal clear water, and slightly minor, but still bad PTSD around vibrant green liquids all together. As when he woke up in his test tube, he was drowning in a similar-looking substance. This PTSD also makes him more hesitant around bodies of water, like pools, lakes, etc...

• He hates to be called an experiment, anomaly, or anything of the sort. It both triggers his trauma and makes him feel less than human.

Tastes:

• He loves most sweets, his favorite being an Ice Cream Sandwich. And cannot stand bitter foods, absolutely despising things like Wasabi.

Small Notes:

• Muse is mostly disliked by the general human public, seen as something that should not exist and should be sent off, jailed, or even killed.

Origins:

• Muse was created by a trainer and scientist named Kyōki Xerz, who after his Umamusume died racing, decided to try to experiment with Umamusume DNA, trying to make the ultimate racing Uma and prove everyone wrong that he wasn’t a bad owner, and he began work on M.U.S.E. And he succeeded, making both a miracle and a violation of Nature in Muse. But, he was arrested, and they never found Muse. Till he broke from his test tube, and wandered off to Tracen Academy, and they enrolled him immediately due to his unique nature. He has been there for a few years now, being a senior. And has met most of the academy.

Notable Relationships:

• Kyōki Xerz: The man who created Muse, Muse has a lot of complicated feelings about him. On one hand, Muse has slight distain for him, feeling like Kyōki just made him to race and nothing else. But on the other, he’s also grateful that Kyōki gave him life, snd slightly pities him due to why Kyōki made him in the first place. Kyōki is extremely happy about Muse, given he is his most impressive achievement. But ultimately does see him as, for the most part, something to race with.

• Agnes Tachyon: The First Umamusume Muse encountered, Tachyon was fascinated with Muse, Muse dislikes Tachyon. Tachyon finds Muse to be extremely intriguing, and has tried to examine/run tests on him multiple times, he ran away from her every time. Muse dislikes Tachyon due to finding her intimidating, pushy, and just overall creepy. He still runs away from her, and she occasionally chases him.

• Haru Urara: The Second Umamusume Muse Encountered, Haru was confused with Muse at first, before going to her usual positive nature and cheering him up. Muse likes Haru Urara’s positivity and determination, he often buys her treats. Haru Urara thinks of Muse very fondly, as he always supports her training, and tries to give her tips.

• Manhattan Cafe: The Fifth Umamusume Muse Encountered, Muse walked up to her after hearing her drinking Coffee in the Distance. Muse is calmed by her quietness, and likes being around her when he feels down or lonely. Manhattan Cafe finds Muse’s presence odd to be around, as her ‘Friend’ refuses to talk about him.

• Yayoi Akikawa: Muse enjoys her presence a lot, finding her to be fun to be around and to listen to, He considers her his mother, and she has never once corrected him. Yayoi was very protective of Muse when she herself first enrolled him into Tracen Academy. She needed to protect him from the public a lot more than other Umamusume, as he was subject to a lot of prejudice due to being unnatural. Yayoi and Muse go out for tea sometimes, and she does spoil him a bit.

• Tazuna Hayakawa: Due to Muse hanging out with Yayoi Akikawa a lot, Muse and Tazuna are naturally acquainted. Tazuna is slightly exasperated with Muse, feeling like he has a lot of potential he refuses to tap into, but she still thinks of him fondly, and believes he is a good friend to Yayoi. Muse goes to Tazuna for advice on most things he’s unaware of, thinking of her as extremely wise and dependable.
