COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

History

Alaynabella Astrid Hollywood moved to Hellmouth, known at the time as Moab, in early childhood with her family from Chile. Even prior to the events at the end of Season 1, the region boasted strong family values which appealed to the Hollywood family, as well as a welcoming environment to move for "lunar-related health reasons".

Hollywood played for the Salt Lake City Blacklungs in the Underleagues prior to being signed on to a major-league blaseball team.

Hollywood shocked many with a surprise announcement following the Waveback near the end of Season 4, when Sunbeams teammates were checking in with each other for any drastic changes that had occurred during the unusual Siesta. Hollywood herself had not experienced any physical or identity feedback during the Siesta, but claimed she was "done with hiding" her identity as a Hellhound. The news was met with surprise and jubilation by both her teammates and the resident wolf population of Hellmouth.

Career

On the field, Hollywood is known for their peculiar warm-up habits, which involve a great deal of drawing in the sand outside the opposing team's dugout and several unknowable BlackBerry devices.

When asked in a Season 4, Day 96 post-game about her contributions to the Sunbeams' sturdy defenses, Hollywood shrugged and is assumed to have said something to the effect of "catching balls being satisfying". Her exact words were not clearly made out around the blaseball she had in her jaws.

Their signature double-play with second base teen Randy Marijuana has been dubbed "Hollyweed" by their adoring and bloodthirsty fans.

At the end of the Season 6 Election, Hollywood was traded to the Boston Flowers in exchange for the Hellmouth Sunbeams receiving Hahn Fox.

Controversy

There has been some tension between Hollywood and the team's management, due to the fact that they have little regards for blaseball courtesies. They often accessorize their uniform in ways that are frowned upon and steals bases when they want to, much to the detriment of their team. Hollywood has stated on one or more occasions that they are "an entity fueled by chaos".

Hollywood has admitted to struggling with correct use of a blaseball bat, as hellhounds are not used to wielding additional weaponry.

Personal Life

Hollywood is the author of a young adult fantasy novel series, which follows the adventures of teen wizardess Quillana Moonmarked as she battles against the countless evils threatening the Kingdom of Derevor.

Hollywood is also alleged to have been in a relationship with then Hades Tigers ringer Jessica Telephone at some point in time, per the Tigerbeams anti-rivalry and its effects of causing inter-player relationships. When asked about a possible date at a hellish diner a ways away from Sixth Circle Stadium, the rumors were denied and a snail tsunami followed in the wake of all the questioning. Whether the reporters on the case of discovering the status of their relationship survived is unknown.

Hollywood has a pet lion named Elvis.

Hollywood is good friends both on and off the field with fellow Sunbeams player Randall Marijuana. The two often hang out at Marijuana's apartment and play Minecraft.

Career on the Boston Flowers

After six seasons of playing for the Hellmouth Sunbeams and the death of her friend, Hollywood got traded to the Boston Flowers. They had trouble to adjust at first, still feeling the echoes of The Tug and being one of the worst players on the team as it was barreling into a party time speedrun.

After couple of seasons, Hollywood took over an old flower shop that used to belong to one of the Flower’s incinerated players and currently served as a gardening supplies storage for the team. Running the flower shop helped Hollywood to finally adjust to her life in Boston. Its location was also helpful while dealing with The Tug, as it was near the dimensional distortion that led to the Hellmouth. Hollywood took part in the Hellmouth Beautification Project.

Following Season 8 the whole Flowers roster gained Grass Blood Type. Since that day, Hollywood’s fur started morphing into dark grass and blooming with sunflowers when they experienced strong emotions. Even outside her hellhound form, Hollywood was often found wearing self-grown sunflower accessories.

While playing for the Flowers Hollywood started using the nickname Belladonna. On the team, they seemed to be friends with Mason, Cerna, Haynes, Bugsnax and, after some hesitation, Moon.

Career on the Seattle Garages

Following an eventful career in Boston, Alaynabella Hollywood was sent to the Flowers shadows. The directions to the shadows were unclear, resulting in Hollywood taking a wrong turn and ending up in Sea-Tac Airport and swapping positions with Nagomi Mcdaniel, who then took her place in the shadows. This easy mistake resulted in her becoming the new pitcher for the Seattle Garages after trading places with the newly-batting Goodwin Morin. Elvis was allowed in the cockpit during the flight as a reward for being such a good boy.

Moving from sunny Moab Hellmouth to temperate Boston to rainy Seattle has been difficult for Hollywood, but she has quickly settled in with her new team and can often be found around the Big Garage with her teammates or in the Greenhouse, where she moved her favorite flowers from Boston. She has also begun growing plants native to the Hellmouth, much to the joy and fear of the others.

Relations

While generally liked by the rest of the Garages, Hollywood has been known to have a passing rivalry with Malik Destiny. The pair often taunt and attempt to one-up each other, with Hollywood often entering places that Malik Destiny has been banned from and jeering at him from within. Despite this, friends of them have said that the two do get along well otherwise.

Some have suggestedWho? that the nature of their rivalry is due to Hollywood’s werehellhoundism and Destiny’s catboyism, however Hollywood has also developed a close friendship with Nolanestophia Patterson. The two of them can often be seen together at the various parks around the area, such as the Olympic Sculpture Park or Volunteer Park.

Along with Patterson, Hollywood has quickly become close friends with Betsy Trombone, who shares a similar punk spirit and occasional proclivity for violence. Trombone has been seen comparing their knife to her fangs for sharpness. Exactly how close they are is a matter of debate among those who are willing to discuss it at the risk of being stabbed.

Hollywood has also become acquainted with Oliver Notarobot, bonding over their mutual shared histories of Adaptation or Carcinization and becoming comfortable with themselves in public.

Lenny Marijuana had initially expressed hesitation of meeting with someone who had been so close to Randy due to persisting guilt over the past, however the two of them were able to connect and bond over their history afterwards. Lenny enjoys hearing her stories about Randy and in turn has become something of a father figure for Hollywood. The spirit of Hollyweed has been rekindled as well due to their back to back positions in the rotation, much to the dismay of fans betting on the Garages.

No comment has been given regarding her thoughts on the newly-resurrected Chorby Soul, nor their relation to the Marijuana family.

New Growth

After the consumption of the Moon by the Black Hole in the Season 10 finals, Hollywood gradually developed the ability to shift forms at will, no longer beholden to the lunar calendar as a werehellhound. With this increased flexibility, Hollywood often changes form arbitrarily, even between pitches. During her time in Boston, her pelt slowly began to sprout grass and flowers.

Unfortunately, pitching as a hellhound is not any easier than batting as one. Which form she is in does not appear to affect her overall performance. She has stated that does not particularly care if her pitching is subpar, and that she enjoys the Chaos, never knowing if she’ll let up 1 run or 16.

  • During one game in Season 13, Hollywood pitched a live grenade, “in order to keep them on their toes.” The batter was able to hit the grenade into the air where it exploded safely, resulting in a home run per normal blaseball rules.

Joining the Garages has led to Hollywood learning how to play several instruments, including the Resonator Guitar, the Stroh Violin, and the bass. She typically leans into the Rockabilly genre in her creative endeavors. In her spare time she often plays at the Ron Monstera Memorial Cat Cafe and Sanctuary, where she is welcomed as a fellow cat for unclear reasons. Elvis has also taken up residence in the cafe and sanctuary.

Hollywood has repeatedly shown the Garages her favorite songs from This is a Tragedy, a band of which she is a huge fan. The other Garages have uniformly loathed this, with the exception of Sparks Beans, who found them tolerable and is concerned about the implications of that.

  •  "I try hard not to diss a band just because their music isn't for me, but I swear I can't find a single redeeming quality of TIAT. I honestly can't figure out what Hollywood sees in them... especially since she has more musical ability by herself than the lot of them could scrape together on a good day." - Magi Ruiz

On rare nights, Hollywood has reported hearing strange sounds emanating from her radio. She has claimed that the sound is at a pitch that only she can hear and that investigating who was responsible for the signal led her to the Gum Wall, where it was strongest. On the nights that she hears the sound, Hollywood can be found guarding the wall. “I looked in, once,” she said, “The sun was… it was wrong. I didn’t want to stare at it. The Moon was there too, but the Moonrays felt so cold and hostile. Nothing good can come from passing through the portal, so I’m here to stop anyone going in or coming out.”

While Hollywood herself does not enter the portal and despite her claim of allowing no one through, she does allow Farrell Seagull passage on her journeys to cause artistic mayhem, along with Betsy Trombone and her new friend Kaz Fiasco. Hollywood will often even prepare paint bombs for their use. How much paint versus how many explosives are in them depends on her mood.
