"Don't cry, Pony-chan. If there's anything worrying you, don't be shy to talk to me."

- Fuji Kiseki Fuji Kiseki (フジキセキ, Fujikiseki) is a character in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.

Personality
A handsome entertainer with a heart of gold, Fuji Kiseki gently takes the hand of everyone around her. Inspired by her mother, who was a top-class actress, she fell in love with the world of theatre and vaudeville, even wanting to pursue a career in theatre herself before entering Tracen Academy. So she has many theatre mannerisms, culminating into her goal of showing everyone a fantastical show.

Despite her charms being her biggest asset, she is not selfish at all. In fact, she is the leader of Ritto Dormitory and helps wherever she can; if someone is in trouble, Fuji Kiseki never abandons them. She also lends an ear for those who are struggling with the competitiveness of the Twinkle Series, even if she herself is struggling with defining her own running style.

But her goal remains the same: above all her theatrical aspirations, she aims to take the Triple Crown and won't go down without a good performance.

Appearance
With short raven hair and charming blue eyes, she bares a masculine figure. Her hair is stated to resemble "A Single Shining Star in the Night" by some.

She also has a strand of white hair in the midst of her bangs. For accessories, two golden earrings and a golden circlet with a small blue jewel can be seen on her right ear.
