Before

(SPOILER) Schenn grew up in a one-story rambler in South Lebanon, Ohio. By her (SPOILER) year in high school she had made the cut for the varsity (SPOILER) team at S(SPOILER) High School. By all accounts, Schenn—the daughter of German immigrants—was a driven, talented young woman with a natural understanding of physics and a stubborn streak a mile wide.

In her (SPOILER) year in high school, she met Augusta Chadwell, who she would later identify as her best friend and confidante. The two were both interested in space exploration, and together brainstormed something they called the Wanderer module: a simple space shuttle, meant to be manned by a small crew of perhaps two.

The two attended (SPOILER) University together; Schenn achieved her Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering and went on to earn a Master's in Engineering.

Because of Despite Schenn's demonstrated proficiency in engineering, (SPOILER) the Ohio Worms (LONG SPOILER). Schenn (SPOILER) (SPOILER) until their Descension.

she was mine. her bones were built from the calcium in the dust she inhaled, her eyes sharpened by the thin crops of my soils. i knew her. all that drove her was a simple desire to see just how far ohio went, so i gave her an answer. why was she not satisfied? ohio can feed any wandering soul, if only they stop to eat.

During

Schenn played for the Ohio Worms following their return to the ILB as a pitcher. Reportedly, she enjoyed but did not particularly look forward to the games she would pitch, finding more joy in participating in blaseball with her friend Chadwell than in the splort itself.

An investigation suggests Schenn and Chadwell continued their work on the Wanderer in their shared laboratory space, conducting regular tests, building prototypes, and otherwise adjusting their plans, although it appears they were not prepared for any actual voyage.

On Day 89 of Season 13, Chadwell was incinerated by a rogue umpire in the Wormhole. Schenn was devastated and inconsolable. Following the game, she was overheard by fans as she insisted that she would "escape Ohio, whatever it takes."

Launch of the Wanderer Module

Instead of attending any post-season celebrations with the rest of the Worms, Schenn became noticeably withdrawn and moody, and retreated to her laboratory. After (SPOILER), she had the first and only fully-functioning Wanderer module prototype created: it was scaled down slightly from the original plans, built to accommodate one pilot instead of the anticipated two.

The Wanderer module launched on (SPOILER) from (SPOILER), Ohio and landed in Lake Michigan, Chicago (SPOILER) days later.

Wanderer Module Ground-to-Space Transcript

Following the recovery of the Wanderer module's black box, an attempt at recording the transcript was made.

After

There is no turning back.
But there are those who welcome the wanderer, and those who watch her leave.

Chicago Welcome home, Wanderer. You are not new to us. You are here; you have always been here. We know you; we know your heart; it is good. Do you hear us, calling for you? The siren on the horizon, the red lure? You are free to go, Wanderer; you are free to turn away. But if you choose to stay, there is a place for you. You exist, Wanderer; you exist. You will not be forgotten: Wanderer the bold, the brave, the beautiful. Howl here, and we promise: someone will answer. You have a place here.

Ohio do you regret it, wanderer? do you miss me? i know you, wanderer. i know the way your stomach lurched when you climbed into that vast expanse. i know the way your heart called for me. i know your weakness, wanderer, and that weakness is the soft soil is the soft dirt is the quietude of the things underneath, the certitude of that which remains silently buried. i would have consumed you, decomposed your soft flesh into something useful, something to build on. it would have been a kinder fate. you are lost to me.

Arrival

The Wanderer module crashed into Lake Michigan, where it was recovered by Wesley Poole. Schenn was recovered from the module and brought to the Fire House. Since her arrival in Chicago she has refused to speak, electing instead to use a form of non-verbal communication involving a combination of Morse code and Socks Maybe. However, some say she will occasionally hum along to the sound of the theremin.

According to Schenn herself, she recalls little from her time in space, and refuses to speak about it at length, mentioning only that it was "very, very lonely." She either does not remember or refuses to acknowledge any previous names she may have had. Instead she goes by Wanda, short for Wanderer.

Like all of us, she is from Chicago. Her jersey number is 513.
