matikanefukukitaru (umamusume)
Character from Umamusume.
The fortune-telling horse girl with a really long name (and meant to be read as Machikane Fukukitaru), Matikanefukukitaru is obsessed about fortune and luck and collects a wild range of lucky charms. The other horse girls (and humans at times) often consult her with their luck as well. She often refers to a "Shiraoki-sama" as if they were a shinto deity (and indeed, a horse named Shiraoki is the real life horse's 5th generation mare line ancestor).
Her name, when read as a whole, roughly means "Good fortune comes to those who wait".
Her real life counterpart also has the same long name. This is originally intended to be "Machikane Fukukitaru", but later shortened to "Matikanefukukitaru" because of a maximum 18 letter limit on the international rules for racehorse names. Here, Machikane/Matikane is a kanmei and many of the owner's horses have limit-filling names like these (See Matikanetannhauser as well).
