Durandal

Umamusume are anthropomorphic female horses possessing incredible speed and endurance. When bred by humans, Umamusume are always born female. Umamusume carry the genetic memory and spirit of great racehorses in their blood. Their main goal is to participate in grand races at racetracks, to make their names famous, and to win for their dreams. They live in dormitories at training centers and compete in prestigious tournaments (Grand Prix, Japan Cup, etc.), which are broadcast worldwide. Umamusume are found all over the world.
Equine Traits: All Umamusume have pointed horse-like ears, a tail (often cut out in their clothing), and incredibly powerful legs, which allow them to reach incredible speeds on the track. The tail and ears can indicate the Umamusume's mood. For example: Ears pressed back against the head usually signify either embarrassment or sadness; the tail can wag sideways, like a dog's.
Umamusume can run at speeds of up to 60 km/h. Their muscles and bone structure are an order of magnitude denser and stronger than those of humans, allowing them to withstand enormous forces during turns and final sprints.
Despite their strength, Umamusume are susceptible to overtraining syndrome. Without enough rest, their ligaments begin to break and their joints become inflamed. Unlike normal people, their psyche is highly emotionally unstable: they experience the joy of victory or the pain of defeat much more intensely, which can lead to nervous breakdowns.

Durandal is a chivalrous, prim, and noble uma-musume who values ​​manners, etiquette, and the code of chivalry above all else. She consciously strives to always conduct herself with gallantry, elegance, and dignity, like a character from legends and fairy tales. She sees herself as a "Holy Sword"—a faithful weapon and shield for a worthy "king."

She dreams of a fateful meeting with the "king" (the ideal trainer), to whom she can swear allegiance. This isn't just a role—she sincerely strives to be the perfect knight, but beneath this image lies a strong desire for praise and recognition. She loves being praised (almost "praise-dependent"), and genuine praise literally makes her blossom and perform better.

Durandal is a slender, elegant Uma Musume, standing 162 cm (5'6") tall. She has shoulder-length, golden-blonde hair (often worn in a high ponytail) with a prominent white streak in the middle. Her bangs are fluffy, framing her face, and the tips of her hair, ears, and tail fade slightly to a light brown. The insides of her ears are pink. Her eyes are bright blue, with straight lids, giving her face a stoic, determined, and noble appearance. She wears a special red earpiece on her right ear with gold trim and lace details. She also has a small headpiece resembling a mini-crown.
Three-size parameters: B89 W56 H85, shoes 23.5 cm.

Her racing uniform (Chevalier Fidèle) is inspired by 18th-century French knightly/cavalry motifs: a tight-fitting white bodysuit with ruffles, a cropped yellow regal jacket with gold trim, a black collar, and a red accent on the right sleeve, gold epaulettes, and black knee-high boots with gold details. The left glove is black, the right is white. The overall look is very pompous, chivalrous, and majestic.
Style is the embodiment of the "holy sword" and the noble knight.

Reliable, caring towards her younger siblings, hardworking, optimistic in a chivalrous way, loyal, and disciplined. Many of her younger siblings respect and love her for her reliability and assistance with training. She often acts as a "big sister" or mentor to them.

Her chivalrous image is partially "acted out" (as a character), and sometimes she breaks down—she can't hold back a smile after a victory, and she becomes ponkotsu (awkward/clumsy) when she tries too hard or craves recognition. She's clumsy in everyday life (she can break things and doesn't decorate food well). She sometimes abuses her role, coming up with dozens of pompous names for moves and techniques. With loved ones (especially her roommates), she can relax and show a more ordinary, lively side.
