COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
Sky is a stellar jay[1] and known for her prominent Mohawk.
After Ogden's incineration, the team gathered around the molten remains of the once proud marble statue. August flew down from a nearby snow-covered tree and landed on eir mitt. The majestic bird lifted a blaseball out of Ogden’s mitt and flung it with an unpredictable spiraling motion dead over the plate and into the stands. This was the first known instance of August’s now famous signature beakball pitch. Comfort Septemberish solemnly proclaimed, “Takes a licking, and keeps on ticking.” Needing a new pitcher, the Jazz Hands accepted them into the team.
August has been frequently asked by interviewers to give a statement on their opinion of their blaseball-hating brethren. They refuse to comment at this time, but there is a glint in their eye every time the question is asked.
After the Seattle Garages penned a certain zine[2], Sky joined Twitter, where she can be found as @BlaseballJay.
During and after the game of Season 4, Day 73, a frustrated Sky revealed that they grew up in Hellmouth[3], and had some history of bullying from the local birds[4]. They apparently still like Hellmouth despite this[5].
