Know the rules
Coats, running styles and aptitudes, explained
Horse girls inherit the name of a racehorse, and the horse's coat usually decides the girl's hair. The running style decides how she races and the distance decides which races she can win. Pick one of each and your OC already has a career plan.

Chestnut coat
A chestnut horse has a reddish-gold coat with no black on the mane, tail or legs. In the franchise chestnuts tend to become redheads or copper-haired girls: Daiwa Scarlet, Mayano Top Gun and T.M. Opera O all have chestnut namesakes.

Bay coat
Bay is a brown coat with a black mane, tail and lower legs, and dark bay is a deeper shade of it. Most bay and dark bay horse girls have brown hair, like Special Week and Vodka, though a few, such as Kitasan Black, go all the way to black.

Grey coat
Grey horses start with a darker base coat and get whiter with age, until some turn pure white. Grey namesakes give the franchise its silver-haired girls: Oguri Cap, Gold Ship and Tamamo Cross were all greys, and Oguri Cap's spin-off manga is called Cinderella Gray.

Black coat
A true black coat, black from body to tail, is relatively rare among Thoroughbreds according to the JRA. Black and near-black namesakes such as Verxina and Manhattan Cafe became black-haired girls, which makes a jet-black OC stand out in any lineup.

White coat
White is the eighth coat on the JRA list, and the JRA notes it is still not fully understood in Thoroughbreds. White horses are born mostly white, which is how you tell them from greys, and they are not albinos: their eyes keep their color. Give a white-coat OC dark eyes to match.

Running styles
Every horse girl races in one of four styles. Front Runners (nige) grab the lead from the gate, Pace Chasers (senkō) sit just behind the leaders, Late Surgers (sashi) wait in the middle of the pack and move on the final corner, and End Closers (oikomi) start at the back and charge the final straight.

Distance and track
Races come in four distances: Sprint (up to 1,400 m), Mile (1,600 to 1,800 m), Medium (about 2,000 to 2,400 m) and Long (2,500 m and up), run on turf or dirt. Each horse girl has a letter grade from G to S for every distance and surface, so a turf stayer can be hopeless in a dirt sprint.

Ear ornaments
Horse girls wear a ribbon or ornament on one ear, or a hat tilted toward one ear, and the side is a clue about her namesake: the right ear means the real horse was a stallion, the left ear means a mare. An OC has no namesake, so choose the side that fits the horse you imagine behind her name.

Names and skills
Name your horse girl, pick a signature skill
Canon horse girls carry the names of real racehorses, so an OC needs a name of her own that still sounds like one. Mix a racehorse-style name from two words, then pick a signature skill for the final stretch. Every click goes straight onto your horse girl in the generator.

Guide
How to make an Uma Musume OC
Whether you call her an Uma Musume OC or an Umamusume OC, a strong horse girl comes down to five decisions. The Uma Musume OC maker handles the drawing; these are worth making first.
- 1
Start from the coat
The coat sets her hair: chestnut for copper and red, bay for brown, grey for silver, black for jet black, white for snow white. Canon designs also turn a horse's face marking into hair, like the white star streak in Sirius Symboli's bangs, so add a star or a stripe in Extra details if you want one.
- 2
Pair a running style with a distance
A Front Runner sprinter and an End Closer stayer race in completely different ways. Pick the pair that fits her temper, an impatient girl up front or a patient one at the back, and give her one distance she is bad at so a race against her stays interesting.
- 3
Decide who she is named after
In the lore, horse girls inherit the names and souls of racehorses from another world, and the ear ornament side matches that horse. Imagine the horse behind your OC, stallion or mare, sprinter or stayer, and let it choose the ear and the style of her name.
- 4
Build the racing outfit around one theme
Every canon racing outfit has a theme you can read at a glance: Agnes Tachyon races in a lab coat, Mayano Top Gun in a bomber jacket, El Condor Pasa in a masquerade mask. Pick one theme of your own, set an outfit color and a trim color, and make sure it would look good on the Winning Live stage too.
- 5
Give her a rival and a dream race
The series runs on rivalries, like Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond in the third anime season. Name a rival, pick the big race she dreams of winning, such as the Japan Cup or the Arima Kinen, and write one line on why it matters to her.

Yes. A free account comes with credits, enough for several horse girls, and every image costs the same small number of credits after that. No card is needed to sign up.
An Uma maker on Picrew is a dress-up game: you stack parts one artist drew, so every result shares the same pose and pieces. This Uma Musume OC creator is an AI generator that draws a new picture from your choices, so the coat, the racing outfit and the skill effect come out as your own. Think of it as an Uma Musume character maker, or builder, that does the drawing for you.
Both are right. Umamusume is Japanese for "horse girl", and the official English title writes it as one word: Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Many fans split it into Uma Musume or shorten it to Uma. This Umamusume creator works under any of those names.
Match it to her personality. A Front Runner grabs the lead and dares everyone to catch her, a Pace Chaser sits just behind the leaders, a Late Surger waits in the pack and moves on the final corner, and an End Closer starts at the back and storms home. Pick one in Running style, or leave it empty and describe her race in Extra details.
They are the four distance groups. Sprint races run up to 1,400 m, Mile races 1,600 to 1,800 m, Medium races about 2,000 to 2,400 m, and Long races 2,500 m and up, the length of the Arima Kinen. Races are run on turf or dirt, and every horse girl has a letter grade from G to S for each distance and surface.
In the series the side is a hint about the real horse behind the name: an ornament on the right ear means the namesake was a stallion, and on the left ear a mare. Your OC has no real namesake, so pick the side that fits the horse you imagine, then set it in Ear ornament.
Better not. Canon horse girls carry real racehorse names that Cygames uses with the cooperation of the horses' owners, so a real name makes your OC read like a fake canon character. Invent a name in the same style, like the ones from the name mixer above, and search it once to make sure no famous horse already has it.
Give her a weak distance, a surface she hates and a rival who beats her sometimes. The common trap is S grades everywhere and an unbeaten Triple Crown. Real champions lost races too, and Tokai Teio's second anime season follows her fight back from one injury after another, so leave your OC something to lose.
Yes. The fields above work as an Umamusume OC template: name, coat, running style, distance, ear ornament, outfit colors and signature skill. Set Output to Ref sheet for front, side and back views of the racing outfit with palette swatches, which helps when you hand her to an artist or plan a cosplay.
Yes. The Background picker has the Tracen Academy campus, a turf course, a dirt course under floodlights, the starting gate and a Winning Live stage, the concert the runners give after a race with the winner in the center. Keep Plain for a clean profile picture.
Keep Anime for the look of the TV series, with clean outlines and bright racing outfits. Pick 3D for a render closer to the game's races and concerts, or Chibi for a small, cute version that works as a sticker or icon.
Posting your OC in fandom spaces, as a profile picture or in roleplay is what it is made for. Umamusume: Pretty Derby belongs to Cygames, and its fan work guidelines rule out commercial use beyond small-scale doujin activity, violent or sexual content, and anything that harms the image of the real racehorses or upsets their owners. Read them before selling anything.
