Little Cocon

Little Cocon has short blonde hair with a blue highlight on the left side.

She wears a blue and white ribbon on her right ear.

Her eyes are a sharp emerald green with a slight slant.

Her racing outfit is a loose, navy hoodie-style dress that comes down to her thighs, decorated with light blue grid-patterned belts that look like horse tack.

The hood has frills, making her look a bit more feminine.

She wears tight black spats underneath, mismatched socks, and chunky mid-calf boots.

Around her neck, she has a studded choker.

Little Cocon is cool and strict, often using sharp words that make her seem sarcastic.

She does not like to bend her beliefs and finds it hard to work in groups.

Even though she seems cold, deep down, she is very caring.

She is determined to become strong and is very picky about her fashion.

On social media, she only shares pictures of clothes and nail designs she creates herself.

When Little Cocon was young, she was in a team with other young girls.

One day, the team wanted everyone to buy matching shoes, but Little Cocon didn't agree.

She thought shoes should match each person, not the team, so she quietly refused.

After that, she was left out and even treated like an outsider.

This happened again with things like uniforms and accessories.

Adults said Little Cocon was just stubborn and did not respect her choices.

Feeling alone, she left the team and started to dislike working with others.

She joined Team First only because Riko Kashimoto promised to manage everything, saying, "Professionals don't have to be too friendly—just do your role."

Under this management, Little Cocon could focus on her freedom and grew to trust Riko Kashimoto.

Little Cocon is very strong in the Aoharu Cup scenario.

She is best at long-distance and middle-distance races.

Little Cocon highly respects Riko Kashimoto, her trainer.

She does not always show her feelings, but when it comes to Riko, she becomes more active and emotional.

She is a star runner on Team First along with Bitter Glasse.

She often rivals Rice Shower, a fellow long-distance runner.

Little Cocon sometimes shows a motherly side, especially if it’s to encourage Riko Kashimoto, who struggles with exercise.

For example, when Happy Meek boasts that her trainer can do parkour, Little Cocon responds, "My trainer recently learned to do a forward roll," and feels proud of Riko’s progress.

"Well… If you could win with just being friends, there wouldn't be a problem."

Joining the Aoharu Cup

Little Cocon appears as a main rival in the "Aoharu Cup" storyline as Team First's ace along with Bitter Glasse.

She looks down on the player’s team at first, calling their efforts and teamwork "lazy" and "not serious".

But after seeing their growth and how their "run for your friends" attitude makes them stronger, she starts to feel worried.

She realizes that there is a kind of teamwork that Team First does not have: wanting to run for someone else.

Change Through Trust

She learns why Riko Kashimoto won't let her do extra training.

After learning about Riko Kashimoto's past, Little Cocon starts to push herself and her team beyond what the old program expected.

Even though she is usually dry and not emotional, she starts wanting to do her best for Riko, sometimes almost getting stubborn just for her trainer.

This brings her closer to the true meaning of teamwork.

Facing the Player Team

If the player’s team beats Team First in the Aoharu Cup, Little Cocon and Bitter Glasse appear again in the URA Finals as top-level opponents.

They have extremely high stats and are tough to beat, even for well-prepared players.

When the Aoharu Cup scenario was announced, many fans thought Little Cocon might be based on a real horse, like Toho Jackal or Orfevre, because of her blonde hair and fierce running.

But later, it was revealed she is a completely new, original character.

Real racehorses were later named Little Cocon and Bitter Glasse, inspired by the game.

Both horses have interesting connections in their bloodlines and owners, linking back to the Uma Musume fandom.

The owner of these real horses is a big fan of the game.

Little Cocon carefully manages her trainer Riko Kashimoto's daily life, since Riko is terrible at sports.

She might act like a "strict mom" sometimes, cheering for even Riko's smallest efforts.

She does not share her birthday, height, weight, or body measurements.

She only uploads photos of clothes and nail art she made herself to social media.
