Hi!! Have you ever talked specifically about how you’d perceive ✈️’s trainer? I’m interested in hearing about them and their relationship with ✈️!!

i have but it was on my locked account and a long time ago!
it's the kind of thing that's probably not actionable if you think in a playable scenario framework, but entirely possible in like, a spinoff work or maybe with ✈️ as a character in someone else's scenario.
of course it's that the trainer is based on the jockey and perhaps the irl trainer, who have heavy involvements with the bloodline ever since the grandmother. the trainer's father trained the grandmother, and he succeeded him and trained 🌼, ✈️ and 🧪. the jockey rode the grandmother, the mother, and the two brothers (his retirement race, he rode ✈️ one last time, despite ✈️'s running deteriorating considerably). it's heavy~ i think a little bit of the owner can go in as well, because horseracing was a family affair for him and his daughters after his wife passed away. he had a great investment in the grandmother's bloodline, naming 🌼's first foal after himself... and ✈️, the first foal of 🌼 to show any real promise, was named after one of his publications.
so about the trainer themselves... gender doesn't really matter, but let's assume furatore is an older woman. i'd like them to be on the older side. chronologically, she absolutely trained 🌼. she has a lot of experience, but never had a derby winner, so it's like the jockey. sometimes i think "it'd be nice if there was a tie to the grandmother too". maybe the trainer became interested in training because the grandmother was a friend from the same age group, so she came to admire her and watched her win yushun himba. i wonder if the trainer's father trained the grandmother? it would give them an excuse to be in close proximity. either way, the trainer is probably like a big sister or even auntie figure to 🌼. by the way, i'm not sure if the grandmother is alive or not. i think it's likely saige will not really confirm or deny her status beyond mentioning that she had won yushun himba... but irl the grandmother died resisting transport some time after 🌼 was sent to shadai.
she probably is not around ✈️ and 🧪 as children though... maybe she visited one day and observed them, and came to the conclusion that yes, 🧪 is clearly the superior one. but in the end, it's ✈️ who she ends up choosing when she's mature enough to debut. because some kind of destiny was felt. this is simply conjecture, but you hear a lot from online commentary after the fact that the jockey flattered ✈️ a lot and overpraised his abilities only because he won him the derby, and didn't seem as attached to 🧪 in comparison... (i mean... i don't think there's enough to say that. 🧪 only ran so many times. but i do understand and somewhat agree wirh what people are saying maybe). it's funny, the irl trainer from the interviews i've found was much more frank about ✈️, he got compared to other horses a lot.
isn't there a crazy psychological element for ✈️ that the trainer of her mother chose her over 🧪??? i think it would backfire when push comes to shove. (✈️ has many issues.)
i think their relationship is like~ well, there isn't really any familiarity like with the trainer and 🌼, so it's professional. i think ✈️ would prefer it that way, but around senior year will start cracking and acting out a bit more, which requires more care... something like that. but the trainer is close to retiring anyway, and ✈️ is a high schooler. it's tough~
they share the same dream, but it's achieved quickly, so after that it's a lot of meandering trying to find another goal. obviously it's "to beat ⚡️ again" but when the girl you're training will not say it out loud and is an expert in self denial, it's tough...
i really want furatore to ask ✈️ why she didn't go watch 🧪's hopeful stakes, only to be a little shocked by something strangely cold after trying to make up an excuse fails. wouldn't "i didn't feel it was necessary" be a little scary? the big sister has no sisterly instinct at all (or so it seems). she could only feel bad for 🌼 at that moment, knowing her personality and how she would want them to get along. but it's not really her business in the end, i say this but it's likely she will make the mistake of roping ✈️ into attending satsuki sho somehow -> downward spiral until senior summer begins
something like that.
