Agnes Tachyon is one of the most eccentric and iconic Umamusume: a “mad scientist” horse girl who treats racing as an experiment in pushing the limits of speed, and whose real-life counterpart was a short but legendary racehorse remembered as a “phantom Triple Crown” contender. Character concept and personality In the Umamusume universe, Agnes Tachyon is a student at Tracen Academy in the Senior Division, living in Ritto Dormitory. She’s portrayed as: - A brilliant, research-obsessed “mad scientist” type who believes “weaknesses of the flesh can be overcome” through science. - Ruthlessly dedicated to her experiments, often conducting unauthorized and risky live tests on herself and others in pursuit of ultimate speed. - Eccentric and socially awkward: she’s so focused on research that she needs someone to help her with basic daily life, or else things fall apart. - Playful and not malicious despite her extreme methods; she has a jovial, curious side and a notorious sweet tooth, constantly eating sugar to “fuel her brain.” Her catchphrase-style line captures her vibe: “Everything is experimental material, guinea-pig-kun. You, Umamusume, even me!” She’s also very sensitive about her ears and forehead being touched, and her tail hairs stand on end when she gets a new idea. Appearance and basic profile - Voice actor: Sumire Uesaka (上坂すみれ) - Birthday: April 13 - Height: 159 cm - Weight: “Refused measurement” (she won’t let anyone weigh her) - Measurements: B83 – W55 – H81 - Shoe size: 22.5 cm (both feet) - Hair / eyes (anime depiction): Brown, hip-length hair; red eyes Visually, she’s usually shown in lab-coat-like or slightly disheveled outfits, with an intense, curious expression that fits her “scientist” role. Racing style and gameplay role In the mobile game, Agnes Tachyon is: - Running style: Primarily a Pace Chaser (sometimes effective as a Late Surger), specializing in medium-distance races. - Stat growth bonuses: +20% Speed, +10% Guts, making her very efficient for speed-focused builds. - Key strategy: Build high Speed and solid Power, enough Stamina (~400+ for endgame), and sufficient Wit to trigger skills reliably. She doesn’t need max stamina because her unique skill gives a big stamina boost when she starts running low. - Typical race plan: Stay around mid-pack, then unleash a huge final spurt, often using skills that either boost her own late speed or disrupt rivals ahead/behind her. Her skill set leans into “annoy the other racers” and “surge at the end,” fitting her chaotic experimenter theme.
