- “Rice only brings misfortune to everyone... I really... really hope I can change that!”
- ―Rice Shower
Rice Shower (ライスシャワー, Raisu Shawaa) is a character in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
Profile[]
A timid Umamusume, she is under the impression that any misfortune befalling those around her is entirely her fault, when really, it's just bad timing. Nevertheless, she is determined to eradicate this supposed jinx of hers. She loves reading picture books in her spare time, especially "The Blue Rose of Good Fortune."
In both anime and game, Rice Shower is shown to have a low self-steem and inferiority complex due to the fact she always tried to reach other's expections but it did not work, resulting in her having a drastic look down on herself and also being socially awkward towards other Umamusume. But after being cheered by the Player, Mejiro McQueen and Tokai Teio, Rice overcame her fears and won the respect of many fellow runners like Mihono Bourbon and Mcqueen who she held as friend and rival.
Appearance[]
Rice shower has long ears, and dark brown, almost black, hair. Her hair reaches her mid-back, and curls up at the tips, and she has long bangs that are swept to cover her right eye. She has pinkish-purple eyes. On her right ear, she wears a dark blue bowler hat, with a blue rose as decoration.
Her race outfit consists of an off-shoulder dress, with black lace around the bodice, and in the center, a blue rose. The base of her dress is dark blue with dark magenta sleeves. The sleeves flare out at the end with cutouts almost resembling the petals of a flower, and have decorative black trim. The dress' dark blue skirt has a scalloped magenta line going around the center, and the trim of the dress is decorated with the same black lace found in the bodice. Her tail has a very large, black, tail bow. She wears high-denier thigh-high stockings, decorated with black lace at the top. Around her waist is a brown dagger holster decorated with a silver rose, with a dagger inside the holster. For her shoes, she wears a simple black pair of heels, laced at the center, with decorative black ribbons on either side.

Notes[]
- In real life, Rice Shower fell by a leg fracture just before Yodo Slope. This commentary reflects an alternative history in which that tragedy does not occur.
Trivia[]
- The sheathed dagger that Rice Shower wears as part of her signature racing attire is in reference to the real-life horse's nickname of "Black Assassin".
- She is one of the few umamusume to not call you 'trainer'. In this case, she calls you 'big brother" or “big sister” depending on your gender.
