I'm a prototype of the classified Messiah Project that St. Iris had worked on. They messed up the proportions of the 5 countries' Noble Blood. I got a bit too much of Nishiki in me. That's why I have these beast ears and tail... Not to mention why I can run faster than any of you.

Trivia

  • Woking's birthday is the opening date of Woking railway station in 1838.
  • Woking's beast motif is the horse. Epsom Downs in Surrey, to which Woking belongs, is home to the Epsom Racecourse, where the Derby Stakes and The Oaks Stakes are held as the two legs of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. Triple Crown originated from England, and is considered the greatest accomplishment in Thoroughbred racing.
  • Woking is one of the many failed prototypes of the top secret and highly controversial Messiah Project conducted in St. Iris. The only successful creation in said project is Columbia, which was foreshadowed in An Angel in the Isolation Ward.
  • Woking's dislike for aliens is a reference to The War of the Worlds, a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells. The novel is the first-person narrative of both an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and of his younger brother in London as Woking is invaded by Martians. The Woking train station was destroyed in the novel.
  • Woking sometimes uses racing lingo in her dialogue, such as "pit in", "horsepower" and "oversteer", referencing the automobile racing history in Woking. It may also be derived from the fact that McLaren, an F1 racing team, is based in Woking. Brooklands circuit in Surrey, England is the world's first permanent circuit track as well. Her dislike of bad roads and accidents also contribute to this theme.
  • The skeletal horse flag featured in [One Who Rises From the Shadows] is likely the White Rider of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In some commentaries to Bibles, the white Horseman is said to symbolize (ordinary) War, which may possibly be exercised on righteous grounds in decent manner, hence the white color, but still is devastating.

Woking station entrance.

Woking railway station is a major stop in Woking, England, on the South West Main Line used by many commuters. It is 24 miles 27 chains (39.2 km) down the line from London Waterloo. The station is managed by South Western Railway, who operate all trains serving it. The London and Southampton Railway (L&SR) was authorised on 25 July 1834. It was built and opened in stages, and the first section, that between the London terminus at Nine Elms and Woking Common was opened on 21 May 1838. Woking Common became a through station with the opening of the next section of the line, as far as Winchfield, on 24 September that year. On 4 June 1839, the L&SR was renamed the London and South Western Railway (LSWR), and Woking Common station assumed its current name of Woking around 1843.

Woking became a junction with the opening of the Guildford Junction Railway (GJR) on 5 May 1845; it had been authorised less than a year earlier, on 10 May 1844. The GJR was always operated by the LSWR, and was absorbed by that company on 4 August 1845. The signal box, built by the Southern Railway, is a Grade II listed building.

Woking station platform.

Woking Station consists of six platforms, two of which are bay platforms. Platform 1 is for semi-fast London-bound services, which adjoins the main station house and town centre to the north. Platform 2 is for Fast London-bound services and is part of a single island with Platform 3 and Platform 4, which services London Waterloo, Exeter St Davids, Portsmouth Harbour (via Basingstoke), Salisbury and Weymouth, while Platform 5 and 6 services the Portsmouth Direct Line services, Alton line and Basingstoke stopping services.

Woking still retains two sets of sidings, each to the west of the station. The down side yard, between the station and Woking junction, is now a Network Rail permanent way maintenance depot and aggregates stone depot operated by Day Aggregates. The up side sidings are used to stable specialist track maintenance machines and out of service passenger trains.

Jubilee Square.

Woking town centre is around 36 km (22 mi) from central London. It covers an area of around 50 ha (120 acres) to the north and south of the station, although the primary shopping and office spaces are between the railway line and the Basingstoke Canal. The two main shopping centres, The Peacocks and Wolsey Place, adjoin Jubilee Square. A second public space, Victoria Square, was completed in 2022 as part of a project to construct two high-rise residential apartment blocks and a 23-storey hotel. Jubilee Square is a pedestrianised zone located in Woking town centre. It is located at the crossing of Church Street East, Mercia Walk and Market Walk.

Redevelopment has resulted in the demolition of the majority of the Victorian buildings in the town centre. Since 2012, the policy of the borough council has been to permit high-density residential development in this area, exemplified by two residential towers completed in Spring 2022 as part of the Victoria Square project. Elsewhere in the borough, the conversion of former industrial land to residential use is encouraged in preference to building on greenfield sites. Recent examples include the redevelopment of the former Unwins' Print Works at Old Woking into the Gresham Mill apartment complex.

The Woking War Memorial is a Grade II memorial protected and listed on the National Heritage List for England maintained by Historic England. The monument was unveiled on 24th May 1922, attended by Field Marshal Sir William R Robertson Bart, first dedicated in Victoria Garden 1922 but later located in the center of Jubilee Square. The monument consists of a figure of winged and draped victory with right arm extended holding a wreath of peace, on tall rectangular plinth and two stepped base. On the higher front face of the plinth is an inverted sword of sacrifice in relief. On the front face at the base is small wreath. Wikipedia
