[[Umamusume]] character. Resident mad chemist of the series. [[Horse girl]]. Has [[short hair|short]], [[messy hair|messy]] [[brown hair|brown]] hair with a prominent [[ahoge]] bent backwards at an odd angle. Also has [[red eyes]] with conspicuously [[empty eyes|missing "eyeshine"]] that are 'marked' with strange horizontal grid-like patterns. Tachyon also wears a [[single earring]] on [b]her right ear[/b] in the shape of the [[chemical structure]] of indene*. [tn](*Hexagon fused with a pentagon with lines running inside both. This is often mistakenly drawn as two fused pentagons.)[/tn] Tachyon most salient trait is her long [[labcoat]], worn as part of her racing outfit. This labcoat has so-called "moe sleeves" running [[sleeves past fingers|past her fingers]], as well as striped patches on the upper sleeves. The hip section of the coat is festooned with two pairs of 'throwing bandoliers' filled with [[cork|corked]] [[test tube]]s containing a mysterious glowing blue liquid. Unlike most other [[Umamusume]] characters, Tachyon also tends to wear this labcoat together with her [[Tracen school uniform|school uniform]]. Tachyon's full racing outfit also features a [[yellow sweater|yellow]] [[sweater vest]] worn over a [[black shirt|black]] [[collared shirt]] with a [[black necktie]], in a style similar to that favored by some real-life scientists. This outfit also has [[black legwear|black]] [[pantyhose]] and [[white footwear|white]] '[[high heels]]', with no visible pants or skirt. Character-wise, Tachyon is usually portrayed as an unethical [[mad scientist]] with a penchant for developing shady drugs, then testing them on [[Trainer (umamusume)|The Trainer]] or the other uma-girls, the typical result being them turning into [[glowing|human/equine glowsticks]]. In true (Japanese) mad scientist fashion, she refers to others using either [i]-kun[/i] or [i]kimi[/i]. She also calls [[Trainer (umamusume)|The Trainer]] "[[guinea pig]]". Her mad scientist trait is actually motivated by finding a cure to her fragile legs before she is crippled for good. This is based on the fact that the original horse had his very successful career cut very short by leg injuries. Voiced by [[Uesaka Sumire|Sumipe]]. h5. Additional notes [expand] * Her real-life counterpart is named after the tachyon, a hypothetical faster-than-light particle. * [i]-kun[/i] and [i]kimi[/i] as used by the "mad scientist" archetype usually comes across as being somewhat overly familiar and uncomfortably 'endearing' (i.e. the mad scientist tries to act friendly, but their body language and actions are anything [i]but[/i]). Often this also has a slight touch of (unintentional) condescension. The English equivalent would be using "my friend" or "my dear [INSERT NAME]", said by somebody who obviously [i]doesn't[/i] have your best interests in mind. * She makes more Kamen Rider references than other uma-girls. - Many times, she performs the "Kamen Rider Double's signature finger-point":[https://twitter.com/quatre_p/status/1366190010186141699] and says "now count up your sins":[https://twitter.com/garakattosu/status/1376561892471136256] - The "guinea pig" pet name reference the line "君は最高のモルモットだァ！":[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb8NefSSLyo&t=351s] (lit. You are the best guinea pig!), a quote by [[Dan Kuroto]] [/expand] h5. Associated characters * [[Manhattan Cafe (Umamusume)|]] ** Rival and Friend? (Although not a major rival in Tachyon's career, they actually raced once against each other.) ** Tachyon is a tea drinker who dislikes coffee. Thus, their choice of favorite drinks clash. * [[Agnes Digital (Umamusume)|]] ** Roommate. Also has a similar name. * [[Daiwa Scarlet (Umamusume)|]] ** Junior. Scarlet also looks up to Tachyon. ** The real-life [spoiler][[Daiwa Scarlet (racehorse)|]] is the daughter of Agnes Tachyon[/spoiler]. h4.
