Ayumis Secret Tattoo

I want to set a few things straight about this tattoo that she's showing off on the cover.

It's not a unicorn, it's a pegasus, or possibly even the Pegasus.

The problem is... a unicorn has a horn, while the Pegasus is a winged horse.

dictionary.com says

Pegasus
1. Classical Mythology. a winged horse, created from the blood of Medusa, that opened the spring of Hippocrene with a stroke of its hoof, and that carried Bellerophon in his attack on the Chimera.
2. Astronomy. the Winged Horse, a northern constellation between Cygnus and Aquarius.


unicorn
1. a mythical creature resembling a horse, with a single horn in the center of its forehead: often symbolic of chastity or purity.
2. a heraldic representation of this animal, in the form of a horse with a lion's tail and with a long, straight, and spirally twisted horn.


Which one is it? Is it a mix? Theories?

There's also the question, will this be some kind of theme that Ayu might stick to during the year? A tour inspired by Greek mythology perhaps?
