Description
Broye is a character from the anime Uma Musume Pretty Derby, known as a formidable horse girl representing France. She is portrayed as one of Europe's leading competitors, possessing an incredibly high standard of ability that has earned her recognition and admiration on a global scale. Her appearance is striking, featuring long, curly blonde hair that falls past her shoulders, complemented by blue eyes and red lipstick. Her physique is depicted as slightly larger and more muscular compared to her Japanese counterparts, contributing to her powerful and imposing presence on the racetrack.
In terms of personality, Broye exudes a cool and confident demeanor, carrying herself with the dignity and self-assurance befitting a world-class champion. She possesses a strong competitive spirit and a deep interest in competing against Japanese horse girls. However, this immense confidence can sometimes border on underestimating her opponents. Despite her fierce and intimidating aura during races, she is shown to have a more layered personality away from the track. Outside of competition, she is described as humble, free-spirited, and possessing a playful side. This contrast is evident in her actions, such as when she winked at Special Week after a race, returning a provocative French phrase in a lighthearted manner. Being from France, Broye exclusively speaks French, a trait that adds to her distinct foreign character.
Broye serves as a primary rival and significant obstacle in the first season of the anime. She makes her first major appearance by confronting and defeating El Condor Pasa at the prestigious Arc de Triomphe race in France. Her immense prowess is further established when she visits Japan for the Japan Cup. During a test run on a Japanese racecourse, her speed was so phenomenal that she broke the time record previously held by the esteemed Symboli Rudolf. Her rivalry with the protagonist, Special Week, becomes the central focus of this arc. Before the Japan Cup, a humorous misunderstanding occurs when Special Week attempts to learn a polite French phrase from El Condor Pasa but is instead taught the boastful declaration "La victoire est à moi" (The victory is mine). When Special Week inadvertently says this to Broye, it ignites the French horse girl's competitive fire. In the ensuing race, Broye demonstrates her incredible closing speed, attempting to overtake Special Week in the final stretch, much like she did against El Condor Pasa. However, in a close and hard-fought battle, Broye is defeated as Special Week accelerates to widen the distance. In a gesture of respect and good sportsmanship, Broye congratulates Special Week on her victory, though she also issues a mindful warning not to become overconfident. Her character development, while subtle, shows a transition from an underestimated rival to one who acknowledges the strength of Japanese horse girls while maintaining her proud and competitive spirit.
A notable ability displayed by Broye is her exceptional finishing speed, specifically her power to overtake rivals at the final corner of a race, a tactic she employed against both El Condor Pasa and Special Week. Her overall strength is such that she is considered a "shock to the audiences" whenever she runs. Beyond her athletic abilities, her character is deepened through side stories, which reveal her humble nature. One such anecdote describes her surprise and gratitude when receiving a simple bonito sculpture as a souvenir from the cheerful and kind-hearted Haru Urara, showing her appreciation for genuine gestures over formalities.
