- ―Mejiro Bright
Mejiro Bright is a character in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
Profile[]
A tranquil horse girl who goes through life by her own pace. As a result of these characteristics, however, she tends to be clumsy and air-headed, leading to low expectations of her despite being from the Mejiro family.
Despite this, she still achieves things by going her own way and sees tasks through to the end. Some even say that she may just be the Mejiro family's biggest trump card.[1]
Appearance[]
Bright is a horse girl with wavy long brown hair. Her hair mostly hangs loose except for twin braids done up in front and a prominent ahoge. Bright also has yellow to light brown eyes. She wears a white & turquoise green (the characteristic "Mejiro colors") striped bow and a length of pleated cloth on her right ear. Bright's overall appearance resembles that of a younger Maruzensky.

- Bright calls Mejiro Dober without honorific title (-san or -chan and so on).
- She calls Ryan "Onee-sama". Ryan says she is "like" a sister, so it means "older girl". Real-life relationships are in below.
- She has dolls named "Maki-chan" and "Kyu-chan". Their names probably come from Bright's foals, Makihata Cyborg and Dream Cube.
