Broye

Overview

Broye is an anime-original character from Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, modeled after the real-world racehorse Montjeu. Portrayed as Europe's premier horse girl, she commands immense prestige and formidable racing capabilities on the international stage. Following her victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in France, she travels to Japan to compete in the prestigious Japan Cup. Welcomed as a global superstar by fans and commentators alike, she serves as a major overseas rival who seeks out the world's most capable competitors to test her skill against.

Appearance

Broye is a tall horse girl featuring long, wavy blonde hair tied into a tail, vivid blue eyes, and distinct horse ears and tail. Her makeup includes refined lipstick accents. She wears an elegant military-style outfit adorned with epaulettes, fitted white trousers, and a flowing cape, giving her a regal and stately appearance reminiscent of a noble commander.

Personality

Broye possesses a noble and refined demeanor coupled with immense self-confidence. Despite her elite status, she is never arrogant; instead, she harbors a deep passion for racing and actively seeks out formidable opponents who can push her to her limits. She thoroughly enjoys intense competition and demonstrates exemplary sportsmanship, readily praising her rivals and exchanging handshakes regardless of the race's outcome.

Abilities

Lauded as Europe's strongest competitor, Broye possesses exceptional racing technique across all phases of a contest. Commentators highlight her flawless execution, combining a strong start, steady mid-race positioning, and a powerful final sprint. In the closing stretch, she employs an authoritative running style to push past competitors and accelerate decisively toward the finish line.

Background

Broye first proved her elite standing during the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, where she repelled a strong challenge from El Condor Pasa to claim victory. Driven by a desire to face the world's finest athletes, she announced her entry into the Japan Cup and traveled to Japan. Arriving to superstar treatment, she engaged in a thrilling shoulder-to-shoulder stretch battle against Special Week on Japanese soil.

Relationships

Broye established a notable rivalry with El Condor Pasa after competing against her in France, leaving her an autograph written in French. Before the Japan Cup, she accepted a direct challenge spoken in French from Special Week, leading to mutual respect and a post-race handshake. During her stay in Japan, she also had a brief interaction with Haru Urara, who innocently perceived Broye's hidden fatigue from her overseas travel.

Trivia

Her name is derived from the French municipality of Broye—located near the Château de Montjeu—and connects to the French verb broyer, meaning to crush or overwhelm. Created as an anime-original stand-in due to licensing constraints regarding international racehorses at the time, her role laid the groundwork before the official name Montjeu was later introduced in the mobile game.
