haru urara (umamusume)
Umamusume character. A very cheerful and friendly horse girl who never gives up. She is from Kochi, in Shikoku (the original horse's career was entirely spent racing in local races in Kochi).
A horse girl of a different color (the original horse was bay with no markings aside from a small and faint irregular star marking), Haru Urara has long pink hair in a ponytail as well as pink eyes with a distinctive cherry blossom pattern in her eyes. She wears red ear covers, a red headband and a white bow in front of her left ear.
Her racing outfit consists of a standard red gym uniform with buruma, a track jacket and fingerless gloves. This outfit is completely separate from the generic gym uniform and training track suit outfits of the game.
Her real life counterpart is known not for winning (or even for having the longest losing streak, for that matter), but rather for her persistance in the face of a very long string of consecutive losses (no victories in 113 races); she was profiled in a 2016 short film, The Shining Star of Losers Everywhere.
Haru Urara in the game is a dirt sprint specialist with a contrary "betweener" running style. Her story mode is unique in that she needs to accumulate fans without necessairly doing well in races in the first half of her campaign. She only needs to win her penultimate race before participating in the Arima Kinen, a race she is completely unadapted for.
