## Profile

A beautiful blonde horse girl who works as both a model and a racer.

Since she started modeling first, she tends to be evaluated by the spectators at the races based on her looks. However, Gold City hates whenever that happens and is always in a bad mood no matter who she is talking to (due to the fear that they are already judging her). In order to overturn this reputation, she desires to show that her running strength is just as strong as her beauty.

But that doesn't mean she neglects her modeling career. Gold City takes her work seriously and sometimes takes on urgent jobs during training. She has many fans in the school, and responds sincerely to autograph requests from them. Among her fans is country bumpkin Yukino Bijin, who admires and wants to become just as trendy as Gold City.

Perhaps reflecting her temperament difficulties in the past, Gold City has a tendency to speak badly, even to those she is close to, and sometimes lashes out. However, for some reason, she is still kind to the younger people who adore her, especially children. Another flaw of hers is that she has trouble getting up in the morning, so much so that she snoozes her alarm clock every two minutes. Gold City's mood doesn't play a part in it; she just isn't a morning person.
