"Checkmate... The game's already in the palm of my hand."

A hardcore board game enthusiast who enjoys the genre as a whole, from classics like Reversi to modern ones. She's an intellectual who likes to plan and scheme her way into dominating the flow of the game. The ingenuity serves as an asset in races as well, but...her frail ego is her greatest weakness.

Though she's genuinely appreciative of Epi for being the one who takes care of their dorm.

· Air Groove/"Groove-san": Friend and upperclassman. Groove is aware of how Rulership gets when she's upset, so she is a bit soft yet firm with her.

However, Groove encourages both of them to get along with each other and not bicker. On occasion, Rura asks Aruvu to play games with her and help her with studying. Aruvu is the most behaved between her and Rura considering that Aruvu also has a mother-daughter like relationship with her.

The two call each other "Shipbrother", they're also both known for their late starts.

· Stay Gold/"Stego-san": Friend. Stego finds Rulership funny and interesting, and sees potential in her. Both of them see the similaries between each other, as they both struggled in the Twinkle Series but found success in Hong Kong.

However Rura is much more physically mature than Sweep, can't really determine if she's more mentally mature though.

· Tosen Jordan/"Jordan": Friend. Rura rarely goes out to salons to do her nails, though she often asks Jordan for tips on how to do her own nails. Also, Rura once got rejected by Jordan because Rura thought that gyaru girls were into hardcore gamers.

Her hair is a simple yet distinct a grayish-brown, with a medium-length layered bob with soft bangs. It carries a messy form, with the ends jutting out unevenly to form side bangs.

Over the bodice she wears black leather suspenders that covers most of her torso but leaves her shoulders and underarms bare. The straps on the suspenders are rather wide, going over her chest, however the straps connect around the backside of her neck rather than going behind her back. On the left side of the straps include distinct red bands crossed over the strap, on the left sides it includes various pins. The pins include several board game related imagery.
Her leather suspenders act like a corset around her waist, with several metal piercings and buttons forming a design at the front. The suspenders end in thick shorts rather than full pants.

On her arms, she wears two short, flowing open black sleeves, with a yellow underside.

Appearance²:

For her casual outfit when she's not racing or in Tracen, she features a monochrome, heavily distressed sweater over a black dress that appears torn or ripped. While Rulership considers it a high-end designer look, Groove often scolds her for looking like she's wearing a "trash bag". She wears ankle sleeves over white and red sneakers. Rulership spent a significant amount of money on the look despite its rugged appearance.

In her dorm during the weekends, she usually wears a comfy yellow sweater with an orange carrot knitted on the left side of her chest and yellow sweatshorts, this outfit also acts as her pajamas. Which was personally knitted by her brother. She claims that her gaming outfit boosts her IQ.

Umamusume Information:

Umamusume, colloquially referred to as horse girls or simply Umas, are a species of reincarnated racehorses from another world. Their fate is to do whatever it takes to run towards their goals. Though they act as more like a third gender rather than a separate species to humans, as they're biologically still human.

Umamusume are humanoid girls who possess horse traits and features. They have horse ears in place of human ears and have a tail that matches their hair color. They possess incredible speed and stamina, far beyond that of a human and comparable with that of a real-life horse.

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 an umamusume's ears at the top of her head.

Trivia:

· There are no normal horses in the world.
· Umamusume can run on walkways. They even have specific lanes to run on freely on roads.
· There are no horse boys or "Umashonen".
· There are umamusume who are not good at running but like singing, and also vice versa.
· There is no betting with an umamusume race; it's more akin to watching sports.
· Some umamusume are active in other sports and activities.
· Terms like "Hold your horses!" or horse related sayings still exist.
· Umamusume possess far stronger and faster feats than humans (up to ~70 km/h), with a higher base body temperature of about 37.5–38 °C, like real horses. Though most Umamusume usually stay around the same strength as a regular human female without training.
· Three Goddesses are the revered progenitors of umamusume. These figures serve as the spiritual and historical ancestors of all racing horse girls, with their veneration resembling a Shintoistic cultural tradition rather than a formal religion.

Location:

In a world where horses don't exist (and elephants replace them historically), only horse girls who inherit names from equestrians from a different world, one place stand out for all Umamusume, Tracen Academy: A Japan Umamusume Training Center Academy or Japan Umamusume Training Schools and Colleges. Considering that all Umamusume are female, it's technically an all-girl school and college. Tracen Academy 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's motto is "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere."

Facilities inside Tracen:
· Main School Building
· Cafeteria
· Dormitories
· Library
· Training Track
· Training Pool
· Training Gym

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.

Tracen includes several skilled staff, which includes:

· Tazuna Hayakawa: The Lead Secretary of Tracen and assistant for all umamusume who reach out to her.

· Director Yayoi Akikawa: The ambitious and caring chairwoman of Tracen Academy, she's younger than most of the student body and can't ride a rollercoaster without adult supervision due to height and age...
