	* ~~One notable aspect about the~~ real ~~Biwa Hayahide that was not adapted into the Umamusume is that prior to becoming completely white,~~ Biwa Hayahide had two socks, one on his right foreleg and one on his left hind leg. ~~Unlike~~ the ~~other~~ Umamusume, who has some indicative way to display the socks, such as a shorter pant leg, shorter stocking/boot, or different colored boots or gloves, BIwa Hayahide has no such aspect in her racing design, since she doesn't wear gloves, her stockings are level and her shoes are the same color.		* The real Biwa Hayahide had two socks, one on his right foreleg and one on his left hind leg. These were not adapted into the design of his Umamusume counterpart. The real Hayahide was a gray horse, so his coat gradually turned white over time; the decision may simply be based on his appearance later in life, at which point his socks were no longer visible.
	** Given the fact that the real ~~Biwa~~ Hayahide was a gray horse, ~~a horse that will slowly lose pigmentation in it's~~ coat over time, the ~~Umamusume's design is~~ based on ~~the horse's final coat color~~, ~~where the~~ socks ~~are~~ no longer visible~~, rather than the color his coat was when he was still racing~~.		* She loves bananas, as shown in the [[Festival\|10th episode]] of [[Season 3]], where she competes against the other members of BNW in a banana-eating contest.

	* One of Biwa Hayahide's most notable personality traits is her self-consciousness of the size of her head, ~~where~~ she insists ~~that it~~ is not big.
	** In fact, she is so insecure about it that whenever “big” and/or “head” (or synonyms of both words) were put together in a sentence, she will respond with denial even when it wasn't referring to her or her head. She can even sense when someone is talking about her from afar or in a loud crowded area like a racetrack and just so happens to use the word "head" when speaking about her, and insists that someone was talking about it, even when no one else finds it believable, like in the [[Together\|12th episode of Season 2]].		** In fact, she is so insecure about it that whenever “big” and/or “head” (or synonyms of both words) were put together in a sentence, she will respond with denial even when it wasn't referring to her or her head.

One commentator even joked with his friends that his big head would give him an advantage in a photo finish.
	* ~~Another personality trait~~ is ~~her~~ self-~~consciousness~~ about her voluminous hair. ~~Hayahide~~ compares it to a "~~Raging Dragon~~", impossible to tame~~, ranting~~ about how much trouble it ~~has gotten~~ her and laments that she ~~does not~~ have smooth and silky hair like Brian.		* Hayahide is also self-conscious about her voluminous hair. She compares it to a "raging dragon", impossible to tame; she rants about how much trouble it creates for her and laments the fact that she doesn't have smooth and silky hair like Brian.
	** ~~Like~~ her ~~head, Hayahide is also insecure about comments regarding her hair too, like how Ticket said that Hayahide's~~ hair looks like Santa's beard.		** She reacts negatively when Ticket says her hair looks like Santa's beard.
	*** In her [[Game:Biwa Hayahide (Rouge Caroler)\|Christmas costume]]'s unique skill animation and in the event [[Hungry for a Miracle]], ~~by putting~~ a ~~swirly~~ glasses ~~prop behind~~ her hair and ~~walking backwards~~, ~~she can pass off~~ as ~~Santa Claus~~.		***In her [[Game:Biwa Hayahide (Rouge Caroler)\|Christmas costume]]'s unique skill animation and in the event [[Hungry for a Miracle]], a pair of prop glasses makes her hair look like Santa Claus's face when viewed from behind.
			**IRL Hayahide grew a fluffy and unruly winter coat every year.
			*Hayahide was injured as a child while running with Brian, leaving her unable to run for a while. This may reference the fact that IRL Hayahide suffered a wound to his leg as a yearling after running into a fence. It may also foreshadow later events: IRL, he developed tendonitis and was forced to retire, preventing him from racing against Brian.
