Rice Shower(ライスシャワー), also known as the Black Assassin, is a Umamusume working for the Freaky Society. She was known as the uma that ruined other uma's chances like making Mihono Bourbon lose her triple crown and making Mejiro McQueen lose in the Tenno Sho which made her very hated by many NPC's. She's a very shy gal and thinks she causes misfortune everywhere she goes but people reassure her that it's not her fault but Rice Shower still believes that herself is like a total jinx.
Rice Shower has like a dagger with her everywhere she goes too and is a master at it, she is an assassin afterall *wink* and was trained very harshly to become one of if not the strongest Uma's ever, even more so than Gold Ship or Special Week. Her stamina and speed is very high and even though she's used as calvary, she is a official elite member of the SUSiety. Hansel and Gretal rides her a lot alongside Haru Urara who is also rode by them, also speaking of Haru, she is Rice Shower's best friend + girlfriend.
Biography
Origins
Rice Shower was born somewhere in Hokkaido to loving parents. She never really talks much about her childhood other than she constantly teased by bullies, one instance was older boys challenging her to a race when she was 6 to prove they are faster than Uma's. Rice lost the race and then was punched by the bullies until her mom had to scram them away. Other instance is where she watched The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and it had a Sonic Sez short where Sonic told the viewers not to be in a washing machine so her dumbass actually went in one to try it out, luckily she was saved by her mom.
The one thing that she always loved that originated in her childhood is picture books, she always read them and wished that she could make her own one day so she drew a lot of characters that were in those books. She grew up and wanted to race so her parents bought her tickets to Tokyo where she would attend Tracen Academy. They didn't accept her at first but when she won a couple of small races, they accepted her in so she dreamed of stardom once she wins all the races as she thought.
She would lose another batch of races and got second in some but she had dedicated fans cheering her on and that made her happy. Her notable friend in Tracen was Haru Urara who noticed that Rice Shower eats alone at lunch and became her best friend however they weren't dating....yet. She also had her roommate, Zenno Rob Roy, as close friends too.
Kikuka Sho and Tenno Sho
She was positioned to be at the Kikuka Sho which made her very happy because this would be her time in the spotlight since this was a very popular race in Japan. Her opponent was Mihono Bourbon, some Uma who likes being a machine i guess, and if Mihono won then she would have the triple crown which many people wanted to see. Rice Shower focused on every tactic that Mihono would have so she herself would have the upper hand so when they raced, it looked like Mihono was winning until Rice Shower swooped in and stole the win from her.
Many people were disappointed and hated Rice Shower for even winning the race so when she sang in the concert, people boo'd and threw trash at her which made her leave the concert. Mihono later apologized to Rice that it happened as they became friends but Rice knew she was just pitying her. When Rice lost races afterward, many people cheered just for her defeat and when she won a race, people just left the stands and went home much earlier to when they're supposed to. It was clear to Rice's mind that people hated her guts and she thought that herself ruined everything for others and blamed herself for even doing the Kikuka Sho.
Haru, Mihono, McQueen, Teio, Gold Ship, Zenno, and some others comforted her a lot before her Tenno Sho match and that helped Rice get rid of thoughts like that and be actually confident. She won in the Tenno Sho against McQueen when she actually wanted to prove to herself that she isn't a villain that everyone sets her out to be and is a hero underdog but nobody listened to her other than the fellow Uma's of cource. When she won and broke McQueen's streak, people were VERY PISSED off that people came out of the stage and wanted to fucking hurt her as Rice Shower was rushed out of the event. Many horse girl betters hated her guts alongside the general NPC public. This is where Rice Shower suffered from depression and hated herself every day and lost purposefully just to make people happy.
She later won the other Tenno Sho a year later but during this time, Uma racing was being more strict so more Uma's weren't having fun racing. She won that and was positioned off to win the Takarazuka Kinen so she went off expecting a quick victory however.....she noticed something wrong but kept going as her leg worsened until she sped and hurted herself as she collapsed on the ground as her legs were injured.
She was rushed off to the hospital and she had a quick recovery of sorts but could never race again officially as she needed rest and she wasn't capable enough to do so anymore. She even became more depressed when her favorite thing shattered in front of her very own eyes, she then planned her own suicide but couldn't act on it. She then spent living off Tracen's money that they give her monthly and she had no purpose in the world even though she fully recovered.....
