“I will ignite my soul to burn, and run as a gust.”

―Yamanin Zephyr

Yamanin Zephyr is a character in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.

Profile

Loving nature and winds, though, once she runs on the racecourse, she overwhelms others like a gust. She strongly admires a horse girl that she saw at a mile race, and she wants to be a "wind" like her.

She also dreams to win the three-grade races, sprint, mile, and mid-distance.

Appearance

Yamanin Zephyr has long bay brown hair in low twintails with a large star marking converted into a wide white stripe, golden yellow eyes and what looks to be a scrunchie around her right ear.

“He was too strong to be called Zephyr.”

―JRA Heroes Poster

Yamanin Zephyr is a racehorse from the early 1990s. He ran mile and short-distance races, and fought with Sakura Bakushin O or Nishino Flower. Moreover, he won a 2000m race despite his aptitude, Tenno Sho Autumn.

• Zephyr is the god of west wind in the ancient Greece. It comes from Shiseido's perfume brand, which his owner's wife has.
• He tried three differently distanced G1 races, but he couldn't win the Sprinters Stakes because of Bakushin O and Flower.
