Description
Curren Chan is a horse girl character who appears in the anime "Umayuru: Pretty Gray." She is known as the "selfie angel" of Umastagram and has cultivated a significant following on social media, driven by her desire to share her cuteness with the world. She enrolls at Tracen Academy to compete in the Twinkle Series, using racing as a platform to further spread her adorable image across Japan.
In her daily life, Curren Chan is often seen taking selfies of her activities and is very conscious of maintaining her cute persona. She treats her trainer as an older sibling, affectionately calling them "brother" or "sister" to establish a close and familiar bond. She has a sweet and playful personality, frequently making puppy-dog eyes and engaging with her many fans, whom she makes an effort to give attention to whenever possible.
Beneath this public-facing, cute exterior, however, lies a hidden, more complex personality. Curren Chan is a stubborn perfectionist who meticulously plans for success in her races. She is intensely focused on ensuring that every single aspect of her appearance and racing form is flawless, from her outfit to her running strides. While she initially wanted to compete in the prestigious Triple Tiara races because she thought it would be "cute," her trainer convinced her that her true talent lies in short-distance races. Though she pouts about this at first, concerned that a short race will not give spectators enough time to notice her, she ultimately dedicates herself to standing out as the most memorable presence on the track. Should she make a mistake, such as tripping during a race, she is known to go into hiding to deal with her shame and lack of preparation, even going so far as to undergo a waterfall ritual to purify herself. This serious and driven side of her character is known only to her trusted trainer.
Curren Chan is a physically short horse girl with silver hair styled in a short, choppy cut and bright purple eyes. She typically wears a black headband with black ear coverings and a simple red bow on her left ear. Her natural talent is most apparent in short-distance races, where her speed and efficient planning allow her to shoot through the course like a flash of light or a lightning bug, making her nearly unbeatable in this category.
In "Umayuru: Pretty Gray," Curren Chan is central to an episode about spectating at the races. She is shown planning a social media feature centered on the joys of watching races, and the racing enthusiast Chrono Genesis agrees to take her, along with Loves Only You and Gran Alegria, on a themed day at the track designed to be cute and visually appealing for social media.
