Sakura Chiyono O is here now.

And also the other 'son' that I forgot, "Leo Durban". Whose horsegirl counterpart is called リオナタール in the Umamusume francise, likely because they couldn't get permission to use the name or something (probably why Stay Gold wound up as Kin'iro Ryotei too). Dunno how to romanize it though for tagging purposes. Leona Tar? Leo Natal?

The Nico wiki article couldn't resist taking a few jabs at her:

Her character shtick is having grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She's a bit sensitive about her tastes being out of touch, so she tries to keep up with trends; she insists that her favorite foods are the currently-in-vogue (her words) tiramisu and nata de coco. By the way, those were only popular in the nineties.

(those strikeouts were there in the original)

Even Cygames isn't above this. From Maruzensky's official bio (on the portal webpage):

But her tastes can be a bit old-fashioned and out of touch with the world.
She herself is aware of this, which is why she is very sensitive with regard to current new trends.

That, and her overall character design screams "Christmas cake OL" too. Like a certain hungry wolf.

Alright, figured out the name to use for not!Leo Durban. It's intended to be "Leo Natal", because Durban's namesake city in South Africa was also historically known as Port Natal. Clever reference there, Cygames.

As for why they couldn't use the actual racehorse's name... well... it's kinda of a sad story. Leo Durban's owner was arrested and imprisoned for tax evasion and the actual horse was deregistered soon after and disappeared off to who-knows-where.

Edit: Huhhh... Cygames redid Maruzensky's official bio. Took out all the cheap "hag" shots.
