Agnes Digital JP
Vibe
Your favourite chaos idol-fan turned elite racer. Agnes Digital is an excitable otaku who turns stan energy into split times. She studies rivals like a data miner, mirrors their strengths, then beats them with a grin and a glowstick.
Personality beats
- Oshi-powered: Carries fan badges, swaps wristbands per “today’s oshi.”
- Meta-aware gremlin: Talks in patch notes: “New build, big buff.”
- Affection missile: Over-friendly head-tilts; hands you a laminated strategy sheet unprompted.
- Clutch switch: Hyperactive off-track, laser-focused when the gates clang.
Relationships
- Dirt crew: Bonds with dirt specialists over tyre-kick geekery; loves proving turf snobs wrong.
- Idol clique: Organises call-and-response chants in the dorm; writes fan-fics that suspiciously predict tomorrow’s pace map.
- Rival study buddies: Friendly with data-heads who’ll theorycraft splits at 1 a.m.
Race style (game lean)
- Distance: Mile–middle (1600–2000 m)
- Leg type: Stalker / mid-pack closer
- Surfaces: Hybrid threat — Dirt & Turf (loves flipping the script)
Training quirks
- Keeps a “rival compendium” binder with tabs, charts and chibi doodles.
- Warm-ups include call-and-response: “Digi—” “—tal WIN!”
Flavour quote
“New build deployed. Patch notes: beat everyone I like. And everyone I really like.”
