Both, it's already been said up in the thread that archetype connection has some major problems in it's name, which i agree with, but also i think that even outside of this, "archetype" isn't a word i would use to describe what umamusume characters are inspired from

I see the ambiguity in archetype, that’s why I’m proposed alternate solutions. And anyone feel free to give suggestions.

As for umamusume, I don’t see what differs them from other archetype connections? (I’m just using the word archetype connection for the moment for the lack of a better term)

what examples come to your mind for characters that fall into this? My idea was that some cases apply to both fictional and historical (mythology as the obvious example) and some only apply to one of the two, and some other would only apply to real life without evenpplying to historical (which is what i think Umamusume falls into)

Yeah mythologies for the most part. I was gardening chinese mythology the other day only to found out some characters have real life bases. For instance Tang sanzang is based off of a real person. And Nezha has a brother who is a merge of two real life figures. And I’m sure that’s also the case for other myths. Not sure if King Arthur counts?
