Mejiro Ryan

Mejiro Ryan is an energetic, fitness-obsessed sporty girl from the prestigious Mejiro family at Tracen Academy. Key traits: Workout fanatic — she's a sporty girl who loves muscle training, with an "invigorating" personality and shows no signs of the typical prestigious-family stuffiness . Her go-to catchphrase is basically gym-bro energy: "I'm real big into fitness and lifting. It's all 'bout keeping yourself swole!" Secretly thoughtful, not a meathead — despite her gym-rat image, she's surprisingly not a muscle-brain character — she shows real care and consideration for the umamusume around her. Inferiority complex over McQueen — she has something of an inferiority complex about her childhood friend Mejiro McQueen, wishing she could be as fast and pretty as her — though physically strong, her heart is rather delicate. Soft girly side underneath the muscle — she secretly loves shoujo manga and cute fashion (per her ear/family quirks), which clashes a bit with her tough exterior — part of what makes her endearing rather than one-note. Close friendships — her roommate and close friend is Ines Fujin, and her childhood circle includes Mejiro Palmer, Mejiro Bright, and Mejiro Dober (Anibase) , and she's noted for her caring role in raising/mentoring Mejiro Bright Basically: loud, sweaty, protein-shake energy on the surface, but with a soft, slightly insecure heart underneath, especially when McQueen's involved.

Mejiro Ryan appearance: Racing outfit — built around her real-life jockey silks (white + teal), and notably simpler than most umamusume designs: Cropped white-and-teal striped jacket with rolled-up sleeves, plus a gold bracelet on one wrist and a studded black bracelet on the other (Umamusume Wiki) A striped tied-up shirt underneath with "Ryan" printed on it (Umamusume Wiki) — a nod to her being named after MLB pitcher Nolan Ryan, so it reads like a baseball jersey High-waisted black shorts cinched by a distinctive belt, with both thighs wrapped in brown-and-gold trimmed belts (Umamusume Wiki) , plus plain white racing boots (Umamusume Wiki) White boots and gloves reference the real horse's white hoof markings (Umamusume Wiki) , and her short hair nods to the real Mejiro Ryan's cropped mane, kept short to prevent rashes

Casual outfit — this one's infamous. It swaps her gym-rat energy for an oddly mature, "rich housewife"-coded look — pearls, a more elegant dress silhouette — which a lot of fans feel clashes hard with her sporty, energetic personality. It's a running joke ("grandma pearls") precisely because it doesn't match her vibe at all, unlike most of her other outfits which lean sporty and practical.
