Fenestrate is a Black Muslim Egyptian who uses any pronouns. In Japanese, thon refers to thonself as watashi and others refer to thon with masculine and feminine terms interchangeably, and in Arabic thon is referred to with هي/هو interchangeably. Thon is autistic and has ADHD.

Early Life

Born in Luxor, Egypt, thon spent much of thons youth wandering the city and spending hours on end at museums. As thon grew up, thon started talking about music that could not be heard with one’s ears. When asked how thon heard the music, if not with thons ears, thon was vague, saying “I dunno, I just kind of hear it with my face, you know? The normal way you hear stuff like that.” Thon has since described this phenomenon as “the universe’s symphony of resonant mundanities,” or as thon more affectionately deems it, “some real rad tunes.”

Thon started school for physics, thinking thon might be better able to share the music with others if thon studied the forces that make up the immaterial plane. Thon started thons studies in Morocco and then returned to Egypt to transfer to a university in Cairo, but soon after the move thon grew completely disillusioned with academia. Thon decided thon would benefit more from self-education that was built for thons way of learning instead of in spite of it, and dropped out to pursue thons own studies.

Freed from academia but inspired by thons time in Morocco, Fenestrate sought any and all opportunities to travel and see more of the world. Meanwhile, thons efforts to find a mentor in physics were fruitful as thon came into contact with acclaimed mathematician and buff fitness buff Stijn Strongbody. The two spent some time exchanging mail about their theories. Fenestrate’s interests eventually shifted and thon became more fascinated with the history of objects and how their songs change with the events that occur in their presence. Thon dropped contact with Strongbody as thons search for answers took thon from physics to history. Through the following years thon went through an intense punk phase, learned to play the turntable, cello horn, and electric guitar, and moved to Tokyo. There, thon started rooming with future teammate Coolname Galvanic, discovered thon was aromantic after attempting to date Galvanic and breaking up on amicable terms, and came out as genderfluid.

Blaseball Career

After Strongbody performed what some on the Lift would later wistfully refer to as some “epic future vision math,” the events of 1997 allowed him to catch glimpses of the future where he recognized his former protege Fenestrate among the players on the yet-unformed team. The void left by the Ascension of the Baltimore Crabs and his rush to create the team of his vision prompted him to contact thon, asking whether thon would like to join. Hoping to hear Blaseball’s own unique symphonic soundscape in person, Fenestrate accepted.

Thons performance since joining the Lift has been somewhat underwhelming. Thon has told reporters that the sound of a home run is like no other, and despite thons clear skill in the splort and excellent plate discipline, thon is often so focused on achieving hits with that particular resonance that thon ends up making poor contact with the ball. thons batting career has been a long series of home runs, groundouts and flyouts, and thon is rarely actually seen on base where thon would be able to demonstrate thons baserunning prowess. Even so, thon easily remained one of the team’s better batters through the first half of the Expansion Era.

Time Spent Elsewhere

During the Lift’s final game of Season 14, Fenestrate was swept Elsewhere, and was there for the entirety of the two-year long siesta. Several months after thons return, a reporter stopped thon on the street and thon commented on a peculiar quality of the space:

“[The world] has always been a place of music to me. Every object... every being resonates with its own particular sound to create an impossible symphony beyond anything our ears can sense. Rubber-insulated wires and decomposing bark alike sing in languages I can’t really ever hope to translate for you. So while you may not quite understand the gravity of the situation, I’ll ask you to at least try to imagine what was going through my head when I was Elsewhere and everything was silent. I’ve never really experienced that before... It shook me. Yeah. I’d say it shook me far more than I would have expected.”

Despite maintaining thons usual laid-back countenance and deliberate speech patterns, thons speech became notably slower and more prone to trailing off in the middle of a sentence, and thon has conducted few talks at the Lift’s community center since thons return.

Captainship

After the respective redaction and incineration of Lift vice-captain Lance Serotonin and captain Strongbody, Fenestrate and Gerund Pantheocide found themselves thrust into Strongbody’s position as captain of the Lift. The two already had some synergy, as the two had previously bonded over a mutual love of punk culture and their personalities balanced out. Fenestrate’s inclination to hesitate and fail to commit and Pantheocide’s inclination to commit wholeheartedly, sometimes without adequately thinking through, balanced themselves out. ---LMAO EDIT THIS--- ...eventually stepped down

Personal Life

As a generally good-natured and mellow-mannered individual, Fenestrate has few troubles getting along with most members of the Lift.

Thon continues to co-inhabit thons old apartment with Galvanic, and the two have a close partnership where they are said to know each other like they know nobody else. Additionally, thon has what has been described as a “part-time queerplatonic relationship” with Grollis Zephyr, rents a makerspace in Tokyo with Concrete Mandible, Terrell Bradley, and Theodore Honeywell, and thon has also been recorded referring to the twice-late Alejandro Leaf as thons aunt on several occasions despite sharing no publicly-known familial connections.

Up until shortly before Strongbody's incineration, Fenestrate's relationship with him remained distant and awkward, and thon had admitted to feeling that he still just saw thon as the kid he mentored rather than the person that kid has become. Fenestrate has expressed mild discomfort at how thon found thonself following so closely in Strongbody’s footsteps.
