Description
Ayanna Dumpington is a sentient water bottle. Her consciousness resides in both the water and the bottle.
She is plural, with two known alters: The Mascot, who is left over from her troubled past, and The Player, who helps her cope with the reality of Blaseball. Each uses a different bottle in daily life, which they liken to "changing clothes, if clothes were also skin."
History
Ayanna Dumpington was created in XX02 by the now-defunct Kawasaki-based water manufacturing company, Tsukao (塚大 in Japanese). At the time, the company was looking for brand-new types of water to manufacture, which they would then sell to water bottling companies to sell in bottles of water. During a particularly desperate experiment by Tsukao’s Research & Development team, intended to create s’mores-flavored water, the team accidentally made a unique type of sentient water. Not sure what to do with the new “smartwater”, and even less sure how to sell it to a bottling company, Dumpington was placed under the R&D department’s care.
During the next few years growing close to the R&D team, Dumpington received her bottle and decided on her name and pronouns. She also participated in “mascot training”, and occasionally represented Tsukao at trade shows to attract potential buyers as part of this training. However, when the company filed for bankruptcy in XX04, (Tsukao’s CEO was later quoted as saying, “How did I think that manufacturing water to sell to bottling companies was a good idea?”) Dumpington could no longer live with the R&D department, so she promptly left to wander Kawasaki.
Dumpington claims that at this point she got a job at a retail store, and after a few months of following blaseball games, applied for a position on the Lift. The rest of the team, however, says that she was fished out of the Tokyo Bay by Stijn Strongbody. Dumpington apparently “wanted to say hello” to it, but it is unknown if the Bay ever said hello back.
With the Lift
On the Lift, Dumpington believes that her mascot training came in handy, as she was offered many sponsorships because of contacts made at trade shows, and is generally considered to be “the Face of Tokyo Lift”. Others, however, cite this training as the source of Dumpington’s childishness and obsession with proper hydration. This fixation is so extreme that Dumpington is rumored to only have joined the IBL to ensure the players were properly hydrated. When asked to comment on this, Dumpington said, “Well, if everyone stayed hydrated, it wouldn’t be a problem, would it?”
