Biography

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

Cooking

Mina's cooking skills are renowned, and worked at several Mlichelin-starred restaurants during her culinary career. Mina has shown versatility working with all kinds of ingredients and within many different cuisines, always making sure to work with chefs from other cultures to understand the significance those dishes hold for them. As one reporter put it towards the end of her professional culinary career, "Mina's cooking doesn't so much transform the ingredients as it transforms your perspective of what those ingredients can or should be."

The Midnight Cookoff

On a fateful Friday night shortly before Season 1 began, Mina was biking home close to midnight when she noticed a "strange, glowy light" coming from a clearing in the woods just off the road. Upon investigation, she found a gelatinous forest sprite, hard at work preparing a feast. The sprite spotted Mina and, recognizing her culinary aura, challenged her to a cooking contest to be judged by the Spirits of the Woods. If Mina won, the sprite would grant her one wish; if the sprite won, Mina would give them her cooking skills. Mina agreed and, by a razor-thin margin, outcooked the sprite by a final score of 373-372 on the traditional Forest Spirit 400-point scale.

Mina, who still loved cooking but longed for a change, wished for the ability to play Blaseball. She forgot to specify that she wanted to be good at Blaseball and only received skills good enough to be a one-star hitter, but the next day, she was signed by the Philly Pies. The gelatinous forest sprite also muttered something cryptic about "When the fated hour comes," but Mina was too busy thinking about being a Blaseball player at that point to pay attention.

On top of that, from that day on, she knew that she could always brag that she beat the Blobby Fey.

Career with the Pies

During Season 1, Mina joined the Philly Pies on their championship run before being traded to the Dallas Steaks during the postseason.

Career with the Steaks

Mina was quickly accepted by the Dallas Steaks clubhouse, thanks in large part to her embrace of the team culture and her cooking skills. Mina's skill in baking pies was only surpassed by her skill in grilling steak, almost garnering her more fans in Dallas' food scene than in Blaseball. Her cooking skills have also brought her popularity amongst her teammates, and she always has a pair of spring-loaded tongs on hand, even during a game.
