Background / History

Maruzensky first meets Inari Kagura while walking with Rudolph Symbol. Immediately charmed by Kagura, she introduces herself as a Tracen Academy high-schooler and tries to hug her before Kagura hurries home. She is among the first to recognize Kagura's exceptional speed and potential. 3

She later joins Rudolph and Kagura for a training run at Tracen. Although Kagura is inexperienced and has a poor start, Maruzensky witnesses her natural running talent firsthand and checks on her after the lap. 6

After attending Rudolph's debut race, Maruzensky becomes a frequent companion to Kagura: she helps shop for the celebration meal, carries the supplies, and develops a strong attachment to Kagura's cooking. 10 11 17

Maruzensky privately envies Rudolph for having Kagura as her Logistics Uma Musume. She repeatedly jokes—or semi-seriously asks—whether Kagura could instead support her. 18 21 27

During Rudolph's later race, Maruzensky reveals that her own dream was to win the Classic Triple Crown and face powerful rivals on that stage. Watching Rudolph compete, she silently entrusts that dream to her friend. 25

Appearance

Maruzensky is a chestnut-haired, blue-eyed Uma Musume with white highlights at her forehead. She has a mature physique that contrasts sharply with Kagura's small stature. 5 6

• Chestnut hair and blue eyes. 6
• White forehead highlights. 5
• A mature, athletic build. 6
• Usually wears the Tracen Academy uniform; she has also been seen in pajamas at home. 5 50

Personality

Maruzensky is lively, expressive, and extremely affectionate. She habitually hugs Kagura, often becoming overexcited enough that Kagura has to ask her to let go. 3 6 50

She is casual about her own daily life and cooking, but genuinely considerate of others. She helps Kagura carry heavy groceries, spaces out her cafeteria visits with Akikawa Yayoi so as not to overburden Kagura, and advises Nice Nature to be more proactive about spending time with Kagura. 11 20 27

Her easygoing manner conceals regret over her own racing ambitions. She becomes visibly envious when Rudolph's Triple Crown prospects are discussed, yet supports Rudolph rather than allowing that regret to sour their friendship. 25
