Neo Universe

"Races are 'CETI ', 'connecting' us after 20 billion lightyears of 'disconnection'."

- Neo Universe

Neo Universe (ネオユニヴァース, Neo Yunivaasu) is a character in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.

Personality
A horse girl who is extremely bright, Neo Universe possesses a sharp intellect and excellent grades. However, her only flaw is that it's impossible to have a normal conversation with her. Perhaps because of her high intelligence, she stands out for her esoteric and unique remarks and conduct, seeming to live in her own mind.

And apparently, for that reason, some of her peers say that she's "just like a space alien" but... that's impossible, right?
