Description
Matikanefukukitaru is a student at Tracen Academy in the Uma Musume: Pretty Derby - BNW no Chikai anime. She is a fortune-telling fanatic with a deep love for the supernatural and lucky charms. Her appearance includes short orange hair that flips outward, amber eyes with starry pupils, a daruma hair ornament on her left temple, a clover ornament on her right, and a single ear cover on her right ear. She carries a cat-shaped bag named Miss Nya, a gift from her grandmother.
Her personality is cheerful and energetic, but highly superstitious. She regularly checks fortune-telling magazines and relies on divination for decisions, believing that the outcome of races and most other things depend on luck. She is content to leave results up to fate and often performs fortune-telling for others. Her motivations are rooted in a revelation from a divine figure she calls Shiraoki-sama, who told her that as long as she keeps running, the way forward will open. This belief drives her to continue racing despite her luck-based approach.
In BNW no Chikai, Matikanefukukitaru appears as a supporting character. She interacts with the main cast, offering her fortune-telling services, dispensing lucky charms, and providing lighthearted encouragement. Her role is primarily that of a friendly classmate who brings a whimsical, superstitious perspective to the group’s dynamics.
Her key relationships include her bond with Miss Nya, which she treats as a companion, and friendships with fellow Tracen students. She is known for being generous with her divinations and often tries to help others find good fortune.
Over the course of the story, her reliance on luck is balanced by her genuine effort in training. She learns that fortune favors those who prepare, though she never abandons her love of omens and charms. Her development involves embracing both hard work and her belief in luck as complementary forces.
Notable abilities include her proficiency as a late surger in long-distance turf races, where she relies on exceptional stamina to make a strong finish. Her unique skill, often referred to as “Come, good fortune!”, allows her to carve a path forward when blocked late in a race, symbolizing her belief that luck will open the way. She also possesses a high growth rate in stamina and power, making her well-suited for grueling distances. Her skill set includes abilities tied to lucky numbers and timing, such as effects that activate when her lane number is seven or when the remaining distance is 777 meters.
