Profile
“I have a feeling it's going to work this time!”
―Matikane Tannhauser
Optimist and friendly, she's like an idol who's loved by everyone. Called "Omachi-chan" in her hometown. However, she feels that she is 'too ordinary', and deems that as a flaw. She works very hard to change her ordinary self for the sake of her friends.
Additional notes
Show
- She, along with the original horse, is named after Tannhäuser, (most likely) the opera by Wagner. This is the reason for her german-style racing outfit.
- Just like Matikanefukukitaru (umamusume), her real life counterpart has the same long name. While this is supposed to be "Machikane Tannhauser", this is shortened to "Matikanetannhauser" because of a maximum 18 letter limit on the international rules for racehorse names. Machikane/Matikane is a kanmei and many of the owner's horses have limit-filling names like these.
