She has a visible scar near her left eye, which makes her look even more serious.
Her hair features a unique color gradient—the front and back have slightly different tones.
Her image color is yellow, which stands out in her design.
Byerley Turk also loves accessories shaped like feathers or wings.
Byerley Turk is formed from the idea of "discipline."
She acts very strict, almost like a soldier, and believes that being strong is the most important thing for an umamusume.
However, her stern actions come from her pure wish to help all umamusume succeed.
This makes many umamusume trust her deeply once they understand her true feelings.
Byerley Turk often speaks in a logical, direct way, guided by rules and order.
Still, she has a hidden gentle side shown by her love for things like feather accessories.
Byerley Turk is based on one of the three great founding stallions of modern thoroughbreds, the real Byerley Turk.
In umamusume's world, she is considered one of the Three Goddesses and is the model for a goddess statue in Tracen Academy.
The original Byerley Turk was once a warhorse for the Ottoman Turks and was brought to England as a captured horse.
Later, she fought in battles as the horse of Colonel Byerley.
Before the Battle of the Boyne, she ran in a race and won, showing off her strong and quick legs.
In the genetic pool of thoroughbreds, her direct genetic impact is only about 3.3%, but through her famous descendants, her influence on modern horses is still very big.
Some of Byerley Turk’s famous descendants include Symboli Rudolf, Tokai Teio, Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi, Mejiro McQueen, and Daitaku Helios.
Today, the direct line almost disappeared, but some branches like the Pearl Secret are still working hard to keep the bloodline alive.
In the "Grand Masters" scenario, Byerley Turk's wisdom has a special effect.
It can trigger a "friendship training" for all support cards participating in a training, no matter their type.
This makes training much stronger when many umamusume are together.
The power of the effect depends on the training level, so it’s weaker at the start but can explode later on.
Choices involving her support card usually boost stamina, power, and guts.
Byerley Turk is one of the Three Goddesses and cares deeply for all umamusume.
Other umamusume come to trust her after understanding her true intentions.
She is related by inspiration to Symboli Rudolf, Tokai Teio, Mejiro McQueen, and other umamusume whose model horses are her descendants.
Her birthday is February 24, the day the AI who calls herself the Three Goddesses was born.
She works as a training support AI, helping umamusume become stronger.
She really likes small items shaped like feathers or wings.
Her hair gradient is special and is said to look like the color of Rudolf’s hair without the white stripe.
The scar and military look are inspired by the real Byerley Turk’s past as a warhorse.
When drawing her, pay attention to the eye scar and hair color gradient.
"If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. Moving forward without understanding is what fools do."
"My name is Byerley Turk. The most important thing for an umamusume is strength. I will train you, to give you strength that will be remembered by the earth itself."
