Special Week

スペシャルウィーク

Special Week serves as the co-protagonist of the first season of Umamusume: Pretty Derby and acts as the mascot for the franchise. She is a student at Tracen Academy.
Although she comes from humble beginnings as a country girl, she dreams of becoming Japan's number one Umamusume and defining that title for herself.
Born in Hokkaido, Special Week is a bright, cheerful, and hardworking Umamusume. After the death of her birth mother, she was raised by her mother's friend. Now, she hopes to make both her mothers proud by fulfilling her promise to become Japan's top racer. Even if she stumbles along the way, her indomitable spirit ensures she keeps running forward.
In her daily school life, Special Week is sensitive and encouraging, though she sometimes struggles to make friends because she did not spend much time around other umamusume during her youth. While her racing performance is excellent, her academic results are weaker; therefore, she studies with Silence Suzuka, her roommate and idol, and Tokai Teio, who is a year younger than her. Despite facing many obstacles both on and off the racecourse, she strives to maintain a positive attitude in everything she does, treating each situation as a new experience.
Special Week has a short brown-purple bob with white bangs that sweep slightly to her left. She has white braids tied at the back of her hair, and short, stubby brown ears, with a purple bow on her right ear. Her round, cheerful eyes are light purple.
Her race outfit has a very idol-like appearance. She wears a short-sleeved white cropped jacket with pink sleeves and a pink collar. Underneath the jacket is a white collar fastened with a dark purple ribbon, and a dark purple top secured by two golden clover-shaped medals. She wears a white skirt featuring a prominent purple zig-zag pattern at the hem, with a pink petticoat underneath. A large purple ribbon sits above the tail-hole on the skirt. She wears white thigh-high socks with pink lines at the top and dark purple ribbons on either side. Both of her shoes are ankle boots with pink collars at the top. Her left shoe is dark purple, while her right one is white. She wears two pink cuffs around her wrists.
