Rice Shower

"I-I make people upset... I make people hate me... I make them hurt... I break peoples dreams...

And those near me get hurt or worse... I really am a cursed girl, Marina..."

The headpat is making her tail swish rather quick, though.

"We aren't humans at all. We can be born from humans. There's been cases of a human couple giving birth to Umas."

Rice does know her own heritage at the very least. It makes sense if you are one!

"I-I am not that good, though... I make people miserable just by existing.."

Hold on. Nvidia update. Again.

"They were great... Mom was very caring. But the moment they realized my racing potential, they were kind of strict with my regiment.

Racing for our species is a very serious thing to do... Dad... being a human and all wasn't sure how to properly train me, admittedly."

"That'd be good! And um... I want to watch you play some games, too!

Mom never really let me play video games... Though I always wanted to do it."

Rice did have a strict family life. Umas with stronger racing genes tend to have that.

Reina and Rice Shower are in two of the most tonally different RPs I am writing at the same time.

Those big ears of hers perk up upon hearing Marina is willing to give her carrots! Rule #14 of being a Umamusume trainer: Expect them to ask for carrots. A lot.

"Fresh would be fine! Preferably from a farm!"

"A-Are you sure about that? Um.... We can snack on carrots, maybe?"

Umamusumes and their carrots. They can be addicted to them. But she has a gentle smile as she held onto Marinas arm. She is so happy near her... even if she is new being a trainer, she's been effective.

"A-Are you sure about it? I can go a few laps a few more times if you want."

She wouldn't mind it. If it makes her be faster, she'd love to do it... Anything to be a better racer.

Eventually she would push herself to running and then... She'd stop.

For once she can't breathe. It seems like she really did push herself to her limits as she is looking at Marina.

"How did... How did I do?"

"Thank you... This means a lot to me..."

And with that, she would keep pushing herself by running more and more. So far, there is no signs of stopping from her. She will keep moving and running...

Those legs of hers certainly aren't going to stop now!

"No.... I don't need a break right now..."

She keeps speeding up more and more. Umamusumes like her tend to push themselves to their limits as she was panting a bit.

"Six more laps... Six more..."

Out of thirty.

She keeps running around the laps, not even breaking a sweat. Even if her breath is getting heavy, she isn't going to stop now! And she refuses to stop...

Not now! Not ever!

Will get to replying in a bit. Lunch rush to work in a minute.

Someone is just jogging around the Academies practice course... She's been doing it for about five hours now.

She has to lock in and get better..

Had a bit of a stunlock moment when I realized WolfeyVGC apparently plays Uma Musume.

Can the two main verses I RP in stop colliding--.

She did let out a bit of a playful giggle upon giving Marina it. She wanted to make her happy!

...She'd give one of her blue roses to the reader right now.

"...Every time I race against someone, their dreams are broken and fans hate me... Rice Shower is supposed to be a name of good fortune!"

She does want to cry but... She is hugging Marina.

"...People may hate you since I took victory from more popular Umas..."

"And you do know some trainers get a team of Umas, right? Especially for certain racers?"

She'll have to help Marina become a good Uma trainer. It kind of sounds like Pokemon with how she describes it... but with real horse girls.

"...I am walking misfortune too... Bad luck happens to me.."

"M-Me!? Do you know anything about handling a-an Uma!? A-And my last trainer quit after the negative reception of me beating some other Umas that were fan favorites on becoming Triple Crown winners..."

The backlash of Rice winning those races was just that severe.

"I-I always worry people will always boo at me again... I am so sorry!!"

She is so apologetic as she is shaking a bit. Her tail has puffed out.

"Y-You remember me...?"

Her tail has puffed out as she let out a nervous squeak!

"A-AAAH!!"

She is trying to hide behind a street light... It's obvious it isn't working.

"O-Oh... It's you... Hello there... It has been a while.."

A certain Uma has been wearing her more casual clothes as she was out and about... She kind of wants to go around right now...

But her ears have been drooped down... She is hoping no one can recognize her...

"...Well, you are looking at one. I take it you haven't seen Uma races either."

She is kind of surprised to see this girl hasn't seen or heard about Umas before. Seems there are still some people confused.

"....Everyone I go to gets hurt. I am walking misfortune... And I ruin peoples careers.."

"...R...Rice Shower."

Those ears droop a bit as she is frowning.

"I do wonder how many Umas you have seen in your life, though... I bet you have seen many better ones, though. Ones who don't cause such misfortune.."

When I do my solo on Sodashi, I'll post it on both Twitter and Bluesky.

Her tail has been wagging very fast upon hearing that. She had a big smile on her face as she walked up to Marina.

"I was hoping that'd be enough. Everyone else was training too..."

Eventually she would stretch well enough that she caught up to the others and no time! She had a big smile on her face.

"Did I... Did I do it!?"

Her staying positioned with the better trained Horse girls was quite a sight.
