Air Shakur

"You’re the new trainer? …Ha, you just don’t get it! Although… I suppose real-world data could be useful."

- Air Shakur

Profile
An extremely terrifying horse girl who is an anarchic data supremacist, nobody ever wants to cross Air Shakur. But she prefers it this way–she is very intelligent, relying on logic and facts to calculate her chances of winning and running her races. For her, a victory that is solely based on logic is a fulfilling one. But no matter how many times she calculates data, she always comes up 7 cm short of winning the Triple Crown so she pours herself into her research and can usually be seen running race simulations. If somebody tries to butt in her research (usually Agnes Tachyon), Air Shakur lashes out at them.

Air Shakur barely gets along with most trainers and lashes out at them when they don't follow her calculations. Her temperament is so bad that trainers have to draw from a lottery just to see who will get stuck with her that day. But despite this, she gets along with the other horse girls. Such examples are her roommate Meisho Doto, fellow science major Agnes Tachyon and Fine Motion.
