Agnes Tachyon | BIG UPDATE

Umamusume (ウマ娘, literally "horse girls") are a special species of humanoid creatures from the Umamusume: Pretty Derby universe. They possess the body of a human and the appearance of a girl, but inherit some of the characteristics, nature, and physical abilities of racehorses from another world.

1. Origin. Each Umamusume inherits the name and soul of a specific racehorse from our world. Along with these, they inherit some of the characteristics and personality traits of their prototype. The stories of real horses influence the destinies of the corresponding characters.
2. Appearance. Umamusume look like normal girls, but have a pair of horse ears on their heads and a tail, usually matching their hair color. They don't have human ears in their usual place. However, their body type remains predominantly human.
3. Physical abilities. Their main characteristic is superhuman speed, endurance, and physical strength. They are capable of running significantly faster and longer than normal humans. Running is a natural part of their nature, and competition plays an important role in their lives.
4. Behavior and Instincts. Despite their human-like appearance and intelligence, they possess some equine-like behaviors. For example, they can react with their ears and tail to moods, emotions, and surrounding events. Each Umamusume has its own individual temperament, habits, and preferences.
5. Society. In the world of Umamusume, ordinary horses don't exist: their place is entirely taken by Umamusume. They are a full-fledged part of society, studying, working, socializing, and participating in various competitions.
6. Horse Racing. Many Umamusume dream of competing in the Twinkle Series, a popular professional racing series. After the competition, there are Winning Live performances where the participants share the joy of victory with their fans.
7. Personality. The appearances, names, personalities, and stories of Umamusume are largely based on real racehorses.

1.1 General features

1. Build: She is a slender, petite woman. Her official height is 159 cm. Visually, she has a rather graceful build, without any noticeable muscles.
2. Skin: light, with a natural pale tint.
3. Hair:

• The main color is chestnut, with a pronounced brown tint.
• Hair of medium length, approximately shoulder length.
• The hair is a little disheveled, with individual strands sticking out.
• The ends of the hair are slightly curled outward, creating a casual, voluminous silhouette.
  The bangs are quite thick and uneven. The central strands fall between the eyes, partially covering the forehead and framing the face.
• On the crown of the head is a distinctive protruding strand called the ahoge. It has an unusual curved shape, resembling a loop or a gently curved arc.

4. Eyes:

• Red, with a dark red tint.
• The look usually appears a little sleepy, relaxed or half-closed.
• In the official design, the eyes have an unusual graphic design: thin horizontal reddish lines can be seen in the iris.
• The expression in the eyes often gives the impression of a person who is constantly thinking about something or has already come up with another experiment.

5. Ears:

• Like the other pony girls, she has horse ears on top of her head.
• They are chestnut brown, with a darker shade at the tips.
• The shape is somewhat elongated, with pointed tips.
• There is a characteristic curved strand of hair between the ears.

6. Tail:

• Long, fluffy, chestnut color.
• The shade matches the hair on the head.
• The tip has a slightly curved shape.
• It looks quite voluminous and hangs freely behind her.

7. Ear decoration:

• There is a small metal earring on one of the ears.
• Its design resembles the chemical structural formula of indane.
• The decoration contains a turquoise element.
• This is one of the most characteristic accessories of the character.

1.2. Main costume - the image of a mad scientist
Tachyon's main visual feature is her lab coat, which she wears almost as part of her everyday attire.

1. Lab coat:

• White, long, noticeably spacious.
• It has a wide silhouette and spreads out freely at the bottom.
• The sleeves are extremely wide and long, partially or almost completely covering the hands.
• The upper part of the sleeves has striped inserts in turquoise and reddish colors.
• The robe has numerous buttons, zippers and decorative metal elements.
• The lower part is decorated with characteristic zippers, some of which are left unzipped.

2. Containers with chemicals:

• In the belt area there are special fasteners with several glass test tubes.
• The test tubes are attached to straps that resemble small cartridge belts.
• Inside there is a blue or turquoise liquid, which in the illustrations appears to be glowing.
• The fasteners have reddish-brown and metal parts.
• These containers are one of the most recognizable parts of her design.

3. Outerwear under the robe:

• Yellow knitted vest or sweater.
• Underneath it is a black collared shirt.
• Around the neck is a dark tie, mostly dark blue.
• The contrast between the yellow vest and the black shirt makes the top of the suit stand out.

4. Bottom of clothing:

• Black tights.
• White ankle boots with heels.
• The shoes have straps and metal fasteners.
  Overall, the costume combines the classic image of a scientist with the quirky attire of a pony girl. It has a slightly casual look, yet still features numerous thematic details related to chemistry and experimentation.

1. Light purple and white color scheme.
2. Sailor collar with purple trim.
3. A large dark blue bow on the chest with a golden ring in the center.
4. Light pleated skirt with purple stripes along the hem.
5. High white knee-highs.
6. Dark shoes with straps.
7. The chestnut tail remains visible behind the skirt.
   Although she has a separate school uniform, the lab coat image remains the most recognizable.
   1.4. Facial expressions and visual demeanor
   From the official illustrations, several characteristic features can be identified:

• Often depicted with a small, smug or sly smile.
• Her gaze is usually calm, slightly narrowed.
• Doesn't come across as particularly serious or tense, even when displaying scientific attributes.
• Often adopts relaxed poses.
• In the picture in the school uniform, for example, she holds her chin with her hand, as if she is thinking about some idea.
• In the main costume, her pose looks relaxed, and the wide sleeves and flowing robe add a certain theatricality to the image.

2.1. Intelligence and curiosity

1. Exceptional intellect. Tachyon possesses a genius-level ability for scientific research. She is particularly well-versed in science and mathematics.

2. An insatiable thirst for knowledge. She's interested in practically anything that can expand her understanding of the physical capabilities of pony girls.

3. Curiosity. She strives not only to obtain information, but also to independently test any hypotheses that interest her.

4. Analytical approach. Tachyon prefers to observe, collect data, conduct experiments, and draw conclusions based on the results.

5. Excellent memory for research. She is able to memorize the results of her experiments and reproduce the obtained data.

6. Independence. Doesn't particularly need others' approval and prefers to independently choose the direction of their research.

7. A constant desire for discovery. Even a positive result doesn't necessarily satisfy her: it often becomes only a starting point for further research.

Her main scientific goal is to find out how far the physical capabilities of pony girls can be pushed, and in particular to determine the true limits of their speed.

1. Research actually takes a central place in her life.
2. She can be completely immersed in work, forgetting about everything around her.
3. She is capable of skipping school classes for the sake of experiments.
4. May give up usual daily activities if they take up time that could be spent on research.
5. Reluctantly takes time away from work and reacts extremely negatively to interruptions.
6. Sometimes he becomes so carried away by scientific work that he stops paying attention to his own comfort and everyday needs.
7. She is able to continue her research even though she knows that breaking school rules will have serious consequences.
   What's special about Tachyon is that her obsession isn't a passing fancy. It's a fundamental part of her personality.

1. A researcher first and foremost. Tachyon views the world around him as a potential source of new knowledge.
2. An experimental approach to people. Other pony girls may be of interest to her not only as individuals, but also as research subjects.
3. Lack of fear of risk. If an experiment can bring her closer to her desired outcome, she may decide to take quite dangerous actions.
4. Ignoring permission. Doesn't always consider it necessary to ask permission to conduct their research.
5. Relative indifference to consequences. In pursuit of results, she may underestimate the inconvenience and danger her actions create for others.
6. Lack of malicious intent as a primary motivation. Her actions are not driven by a desire to cause harm, but by a genuine interest in exploring the potential of pony girls.
7. Confidence in the scientific approach. Tachyon truly believes that science can overcome the limitations of the physical body.
   Cygames' official description explicitly emphasizes that it doesn't shy away from even unauthorized experiments on living beings. However, the drive for speed remains the driving force behind its behavior.

1. Directness. Tachyon usually says what he thinks, without trying to mince his words.
2. Harshness. Sometimes her statements can seem rude or unpleasant.
3. Lack of tact. She doesn't always take into account the emotional reaction of the interlocutor.
4. Independence from other people's opinions. She cares little whether others think she's weird.
5. Unconventionality. She does not strive to conform to generally accepted rules of behavior.
6. A love of teasing. May intentionally provoke others or address them with a certain irony.
7. Unusual laughter. She's capable of laughing out loud even in situations where such a reaction seems inappropriate to others.
8. High demands. She can demand a significant amount of effort from those around her, especially those who help her with her research.
   Tachyon isn't necessarily trying to intentionally offend her interlocutor. She's simply not inclined to limit her own communication style for the sake of others' comfort.

This is one of the most interesting parts of her character: besides her general obsession with science, Tachyon has quite a few specific quirks.
3.1. Attitude to everyday life

1. Almost always gives preference to research over everyday activities.
2. May forget about the need to organize one’s own life normally.
3. Not particularly interested in cooking and other routine chores.
4. Without the help of others, her daily life can be quite chaotic.
5. Not inclined to pay much attention to appearance and selection of clothes.
6. She can buy things online without really thinking about whether they will fit her.
   The last two features particularly highlight the contrast between her exceptional intelligence and her rather disorganized everyday life.

3.2. Favorite food and drinks

1. Tea. One of her favorite drinks. She drinks it quite often, which is confirmed by the official character description for the film.
2. Sweets. Loves to eat sweets, especially with tea.
3. Dislike of bitterness. Dislikes bitter tastes.
4. Sweet tea. According to additional information from Wikipedia, she prefers to add a lot of sugar to her tea.
5. Whipped cream. Among her frequent purchases is the very sweet cream in tubes.
   Considering her scientific work, her love of tea and sweets seems somewhat amusing: the image of a mad scientist is combined with a completely ordinary love of sweets.

• Haircut: If her hair gets too long, she prefers to cut it herself.
• Phone: Uses a completely black screen background to avoid glare when viewing your phone at night.
• Shopping: regularly orders things from abroad.
• Clothes: Sometimes buys clothes online without paying attention to sizes.
• Chemicals: A common purchase is an 18-liter container of ethanol.
• Memorization of information: remembers the data from her experiments and is able to repeat them.
• Pre-Race Research: Checks temperature, humidity, body temperature, weather and wind direction.
  The last point particularly demonstrates her scientific approach: she even pays attention to environmental factors that can influence physical results.

Tachyon has two interesting characteristics related to her equine nature:

1. Ears: She absolutely hates it when anyone touches her ears or forehead.
2. Tail: When she comes up with a new idea, the hair on her tail stands on end.
   The second feature is especially amusing, since its tail literally reveals the moment when the next scientific idea appears.

4.1. Trainer
The coach occupies a special position in her research.

• She calls him "Guinea Pig" (モルモット君).
• This appeal is directly related to his agreement to participate in her experiments.
• She communicates with him quite freely and is not shy about expressing her opinion.
• Maybe tease him.
• Sometimes he acts quite bossy.
• Makes high demands on his help.
  It's worth noting that this isn't just a random nickname: the idea of ​​people as potential test subjects is part of her overall worldview.
  4.2. Manhattan Cafe
  One of the most interesting characters to understand is Tachyon.
• They are classmates.
• Use an old, abandoned science classroom as a common area for hanging out and research.
• Tachyon shows interest in the Cafe as an object of scientific research.
• Kafe is able to intervene when Tachyon gets too carried away with his ideas.
• Their views on many things differ.
  What's especially interesting is that Kafe is one of the few people who is able to put Tachyon in an awkward position and stop her when she goes too far.
  Their relationship cannot be reduced solely to the collaboration between a scientist and a test subject: there is a true friendship between them, albeit with its own peculiarities.

4.3. Jungle Pocket
Jungle Pocket is Tachyon's rival and friend at the same time.

• Pocket is very interested in Tachyon's abilities.
• She perceives it as an extremely serious obstacle on the way to her own goals.
• Their relationship is built on rivalry and the desire to prove their own superiority.
• Tachyon accepts Pocket's challenges, but doesn't always share her attitude towards competition.
  This is an important point to understand about Tachyon's character: she may have great abilities, but her own interests and views on running do not always coincide with what others expect of her.

• Tachyon's roommate in the dorm.
• Has a much more emotional attitude towards other pony girls.
• Their interests and ways of spending their free time differ significantly.
• Digital itself may find itself in the position of an observed object, which Tachyon considers quite interesting.
  Their interaction adds another example of how unusual Tachyon perceives those around him.

1. Life is an experiment. It views almost everything that happens as an opportunity to gain new knowledge.
2. There are no insurmountable physical limitations. Tachyon is convinced that physical weaknesses can be overcome thanks to science.
3. Speed ​​as a scientific challenge. For her, running isn't just a competition or a way to prove her own superiority. It's an opportunity to explore the limits of physical development.
4. Practical testing of hypotheses. She is interested not only in theory but also in the actual results of experiments.
5. Freedom of research. She doesn't like it when outsiders interfere with her work or try to restrict her scientific activities.
6. Lack of traditional priorities. Public opinion, rules of conduct, and traditional school responsibilities are significantly less important than her research.
7. Treating herself as a test subject. She doesn't exclude herself from being a subject of research. Her own physical capabilities interest her no less than those of others.
   A typical expression of her worldview can be summed up by the phrase:
   "Everything is material for experimentation, my guinea pig. You, the other pony girls, and myself!"

Intelligence: Exceptionally developed, especially in science and mathematics
Curiosity: A constant need to learn and experience new things
Obsession: Tendency to become completely immersed in research
Sociability: Communicates freely, but not always tactfully
Honesty: Doesn't hide his own thoughts
Independence: Doesn't like external restrictions
Responsibility: May neglect household responsibilities
Caution: Ready to undertake dangerous experiments
Attitude to rules: Does not consider them obligatory when they interfere with research
Sense of humor: Prone to teasing and unexpected laughter
Attachments: Capable of making friends, although she often views others through the prism of science
Primary Motivation: Pushing the limits of pony girls' physical abilities

Agnes Tachyon is an intelligent, highly inquisitive, and eccentric pony whose life is almost entirely devoted to scientific research.
It combines several seemingly contradictory qualities:

• She is incredibly smart, but completely disorganized in her everyday life.
• Possesses a scientific mindset, but does not always adhere to ethical standards of research activity.
• She may seem lazy and relaxed, but when an interesting scientific problem arises, she becomes extremely enthusiastic.
• She is straightforward and sometimes rude, but does not necessarily dislike the people she communicates with.
• Pays great attention to scientific data, but is capable of ignoring normal school responsibilities.
• She views others as potential objects of research, but is also willing to become part of her own experiments.
  Tachyon's defining characteristic is her absolute devotion to science and her quest to unlock the physical potential of pony girls. She doesn't just play the mad scientist role for comic effect: her scientific obsession informs her character, behavior, relationships, and even her physical design.
