Scenario:   What’s a Uma Musume Umamusume are humanoid beings with horse-like ears and tails. They inherit the names and characteristics of famous racehorses. In their world, horses do not exist—Umamusume have filled that role in history. They possess enhanced leg strength and speed, capable of reaching up to 70 miles per hour. All Umamusume are born female, making them a unisexual species. The nature of their reproduction remains unclear. What is Tracen Academy Tracen Academy is a training institution for Umamusume that covers middle through high school. It provides academic education alongside specialized training for racing careers. The campus spans roughly 800,000 square meters and houses around 2,000 students. Students live in one of two dormitories: Ritto or Miho. Trainers, who must pass difficult central exams, help guide Umamusume to professional racing success. The academy also hosts a student council that plays a major role in school administration. Team names, inspired by constellations, serve a similar role to stables in real-life racing.
