Description
Maruzensky cuts a dashing figure with a sisterly vibe and a retro way of speaking, peppering her language with outdated 1960s-1990s slang. She radiates pure joy when feeling the wind during high-speed movement, whether driving her hot rod or racing. Despite tremendous power, she remains approachable and well-liked, devoid of pompousness. Her appearance features long, curly brown hair tied with a black ribbon, a blue ribbon on her right ear matching her blue eyes, and a busty physique. She stands 164 cm tall with measurements of 92-58-88. Unlike most trainees in dormitories matching their real-life training centers, she lives independently, reflecting her real-life counterpart's path that bypassed such facilities.
A speed-focused frontrunner, she excels in turf mile distances but struggles on dirt and in long-distance events. Her running style demands leading from the start, hampered by low stamina and poor late-charging capability. This mirrors her real-life nickname "The Supercar," earned by overwhelming speed that left competitors far behind. Unique gear-shifting mechanics boost her acceleration when leading into the final corner, emphasizing explosive pace. In official media depictions of the Japanese Derby, she is always placed in gate 18, a direct nod to her real-life exclusion from the event despite her jockey's plea to compete even from the outermost gate.
Her background closely follows the undefeated Japanese Thoroughbred Maruzensky (1974–1997). Born to an overseas-purchased mare, he was classified as a "mochikomi-ba" (brought-in horse), subjecting him to foreign-bred restrictions that barred him from major races like the Triple Crown. His career highlights include a 10-length maiden win and a 13-length victory in the 1976 Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes, where he set a course record lasting 14 years. The iconic commentary line—"Maruzensky leads! This gap might not close! Maruzensky is strong!"—from that race becomes her special in-game dialogue when leading by over 10 lengths. His exclusion from the 1977 Japanese Derby sparked controversy, with fans and his jockey advocating for his entry. An injury before the Arima Kinen led to retirement, preventing anticipated rivalries with contemporaries like Tosho Boy. Post-retirement, he sired successful progeny, including Derby winner Sakura Chiyono O. Seven other franchise characters are his real-life descendants, the highest among all characters.
Her narrative incorporates specific historical episodes. The Spring Stakes event features only five runners, referencing a real race where competitors avoided facing him to prevent time-penalty suspensions. Her training events often involve car-related activities like drifting or fixing her father’s second-hand red supercar, aligning with her passion for speed and driving. She experiences carsickness as a passenger but enjoys Eurobeat music while driving. Story choices emphasize her confidence, trendsetting nature, and physical conditioning, affecting her speed, power, or energy during career mode. One event involves her debating technical skill versus expressiveness in dance, further highlighting her retro aesthetic.
