Description
Nice Nature races for Team Canopus, initially as its sole member before others like Twin Turbo and Ikuno Dictus join. Coming from a humble working-class background, she often assists at her family's snack bar, where articles about her racing career adorn the walls. This upbringing honed her skills in cooking, cleaning, managing leftovers, and origami.
She consistently exhibits a pessimistic, self-deprecating personality, viewing herself as a "supporting character" rather than a protagonist. This mindset leads her to avoid high expectations, sometimes causing underperformance. Her catchphrase, "Yup, I'm happy with a third place finish—it's all an extra like me can ask for," reflects her contentment with minor achievements. Despite her cynicism, she secretly takes pride in having someone believe in her.
A late surger specializing in medium to long distances, her racing strategy relies on holding third position to activate her unique skill, "I Can Win Sometimes, Right?," boosting her velocity if she loses that spot late in a race. This earned her the nickname "Bronze Collector," referencing her eight real-life third-place finishes and three consecutive third-place showings in the franchise's Arima Kinen. Her abilities include debuffing opponents, such as reducing frontrunners' speed with "Mystifying Murmur" or hindering other late surgers with "Hesitant Late Surgers."
She maintains a rivalry with Tokai Teio, driven by her dream to defeat her; background details note Nice Nature's sire is Tokai Teio's damsire. She rooms with Marvelous Sunday at Ritto Dorm and is part of Team Canopus alongside characters like Twin Turbo and Matikanetannhauser.
Her real-life counterpart, active from 1988 to 2023, earned over 600 million JPY without winning a G1 title, mirroring her story challenges. Post-retirement, he became a symbol for retired horse welfare, with 2023 birthday donations reaching 74 million JPY. In-game, she references this through skills tied to third-place finishes and bonuses for non-G1 bronze placements. Her design includes a leg strap symbolizing her real-life injury history, a shared trait among Uma Musume characters.
