## Personality

Mejiro Ryan is a sporty horse girl whose favourite hobby in the world is weight training. She doesn't look the part at first glance but she was also born into the prestigious Mejiro Family, so her personality is actually quite refreshing from all the cold and rigidness in the home.

She is childhood friends and rivals with another daughter of the family, Mejiro McQueen. While knowing that she has her own merits, sometimes Ryan cannot help but feel inferior to her, really wishing that she was as fast and cute as McQueen.

In that strong body full of muscle is a heart that's a teensy bit delicate.
