Background / History

Almond Eye first appeared as a chestnut-haired child competing at the Little Satsuki Sho. Her explosive start immediately drew attention, and Anjing Zhen recognized her as the Horse Girl associated with the historical “9 G1” achievement from his original timeline. At the time, her family intended for her to focus on short-distance and mile races, based on her aptitude and medical results. 96 97 100 179

After a period of growth, Almond Eye entered Full Maturity training. By then, she had grown to roughly Kitasan Black’s height, with a notably mature and powerful physique. 260 272

Anjing Zhen prepared her for Central Treisen Academy’s entrance examination. Though inexperienced with starting gates and initially prone to being distracted by others’ attention, Almond Eye showed fierce competitiveness and steadily increased her speed during training runs. 271 272

During the entrance-exam Simulation Race, she demonstrated position selection, pace control, cornering, and a decisive late acceleration. She won the race, achieved the highest overall examination score, entered Central Treisen Academy, and formally signed a Trainer agreement with Anjing Zhen. 297 300 301 307

At the Kasamatsu exhibition race, Almond Eye chose to challenge veteran Horse Girls including Oguri Cap, Super Little Bay, and Inari One. Her attempt to use positioning against the senior racers was outmatched by their power and experience, leading to a loss that left her struggling with envy, jealousy, and dissatisfaction with herself. She later accepted Fujimasa March’s guidance and redirected those feelings into motivation. 650 651 661 665 666 667

Following the exhibition race, her training shifted toward long-distance endurance, adaptation to unfamiliar environments, and a more varied pre-debut program. She also became involved in opponent analysis, providing insights into rivals’ emotional states that Anjing Zhen’s data-centered approach had overlooked. 664 673 684 685

Appearance

Almond Eye is a chestnut-haired Horse Girl whose appearance changed significantly after Full Maturity, developing from a small, childlike girl into someone nearly as tall as Kitasan Black with a stronger, more mature build. 96 260

• Chestnut hair. 96 97
• Initially small enough to reach only Kitasan Black’s chest. 260
• Later grew to approximately Kitasan Black’s height. 260
• Possesses notably strong limbs, upper body, and core for her age. 260 650
• Her ears and tail visibly react when she is excited. 677

Personality

Almond Eye is intensely competitive and driven by a persistent desire to improve. Even when she starts poorly, falls behind, or faces opponents far stronger than herself, she responds by pushing harder rather than retreating. 265 272 651

She is also earnest and self-demanding. Winning the entrance Simulation Race does not make her complacent; she immediately recognizes that it is only a step toward competing in the Shining Series. 301

Her competitiveness can become insecurity, particularly when she compares herself to Kitasan Black or younger racers who succeed before her. After losing at Kasamatsu, she openly admits to envy and jealousy, but ultimately accepts defeat as a source of motivation rather than an excuse to stop. 368 666 667

Outside racing, Almond Eye is curious, diligent, and increasingly responsible. She eagerly accepts the team’s intelligence-gathering mission, takes detailed notes, and mentors Spring and Autumn Equinox during their investigation. 677 680 685
