−
Wanda Schenn is a player with planetoid physiology who uses they/them pronouns.
 
−
 
−
Like all of us, they are from Chicago. Their jersey number is 513.
 
−
 
−
==Appearance==
 
−
Schenn’s form has been described in a variety of ways. Whether this is due to them appearing to each person differently or them being able to consciously shift their form is unknown. Reports have emerged of a human-sized planet, a planet shaped like a human, and a planet-sized planet. When asked to describe themselves, Schenn responded with incomprehensible growls and rumbling noises best measured using the Richter scale.
 
−
 
−
Many have wondered how versions of Schenn too large to fit in the stadium play blaseball.  The answer to that also varies from description to description: maybe they manipulate gravity to their advantage to hit or throw the ball (“You count as on base if the base is on you,” [[Son Jensen]] was quoted as explaining); or maybe It Just Works.  Schenn has also been seen using an astronaut-shaped marionette (on very long strings) to play, as well as using the marionette to explore other places they are too large and too far away to visit.
 
−
 
−
==Scientific Classification==
 
−
Their mutable form and the appearance of being an entire planet has led to some curious investigation from Flermilab. Per a report published shortly after Schenn’s arrival in Chicago, Schenn is a class-M superterran planet, having a mass approximately equivalent to 5.13 Earths. How this does not have any noticeable effect on other gravitational fields remains a mystery, especially since Schenn occasionally uses gravitational effects to play blaseball.
 
−
 
−
Scientists committed to the pedantic use of scientific terminology note that Schenn does not “technically qualify” as a planet as they do not orbit a star<ref>https://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau0603/<!--<ref>Which further indicates that they would fit by the old definition of planet, any unidentified "wanderer" in the sky.</ ref>--></ref>, seeing as Sun 2’s appearance is inconsistent at best.  This would technically make Schenna rogue planet, also known as an orphan planet, sunless planet, unbound planet, or wandering planet.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_planet</ref> However, “everyone else says it’s close enough,” the principal investigator at Flermilab noted, “which means it’s good enough for me.”
 
−
 
−
It has been noted that Schenn’s surface supports some form of life, although all attempts to communicate with sentient life have failed. This may be related to the dense atmosphere characteristic of superterran planets, some other quirk of Schenn’s planetoid physiology, or a lack of truly sentient lifeforms. Studies of this phenomenon remain ongoing.
 
−
 
−
During [[Season 19]], Schenn began demonstrating even stranger gravitational interactions, allowing them to flip teammates Negative like fellow Undertaker [[Justice Spoon]], who was able to help them use this ability.  They first demonstrated this ability with their friend [[Gita Sparrow]].  In [[Season 22]], due to Schenn changing teams, both Schenn and Sparrow became Subtractors.  It is unclear how either of these impact Schenn’s scientific classification.  It is unclear how the gravitational physics of these abilities work.  It is unclear how Schenn feels about them.
 
−
 
−
==Known Moons and Satellites==
 
−
Schenn has a number of satellites, including a number of rocky moons and man-made satellites. Flermilab has attempted to document them but has struggled to keep accurate and precise records, especially since they seem to appear and disappear at random.

{{#choose:'''Gregorios.''' A research satellite placed in orbit by ████ prior to Schenn’s arrival in [[Chicago]], [[Gregorios]] is a metal object of unclear size with two large, symmetrical solar panels. It is almost always present in Schenn’s orbit and seems to be geo-synchronous. Witnesses to Schenn’s human-shaped planetoid form have noted that it hovers over their left shoulder. Its origin and purpose are unclear, but Schenn seems disinclined to question it further.

|'''WORM-2110'''. WORM-2110 has been identified as the second-most massive natural satellite orbiting Schenn, although it is smaller than several other satellites. Composed mostly of silicate rock and ice, WORM-2110 may have oceans beneath its crust that could hypothetically support life.
+
Schenn was initially very overwhelmed by Los Angeli, finding it overwhelmingly loud, overwhelmingly infinite, and entirely too many things at once.  [[McKinley Otten]] was a non-overwhelming presence that helped her get acquainted, while [[Yummy Elliott]] was a big help in showing her around when Schenn began to get used to the place and became extremely curious about it. She became fast friends with both, and also with [[Basilio Fig]], and can often be found helping them raise plants and hanging out mostly silently.
−
|'''JB 847'''. JB 847 is a self-sustaining unmanned satellite launched by [[Flermilab]] in honor of the late [[Joshua Butt]] after their [[incineration]]. Its stated purpose is to “keep Schenn company.”

−
|'''C.PULASKIDAY'''. C.PULASKIDAY is a small moon within close orbit of Schenn’s surface, occupying the CPULASKI ring formed of dust shed from its surface. It is irregularly shaped and reddish-orange in color. It is named for the person who identified it, who observed it while performing their duties as Third Base Coach Casimir Pulaski Day. When asked what they wished to name the moon, they appeared only able to say their name at full volume, “THIRD BASE COACH CASIMIR PULASKI DAY,” which was then stylized.  
 
−
|'''Augusta'''. This moon is among the least dense of Schenn’s natural satellites, which suggests that a large percentage of it is composed of water ice. Geological surveys have noted formidable cliff formations on Augusta’s surface; the caves and crevasses have been noted to support a population of [[Moonray|Moonrays]].
 
−
|'''OH-614'''. OH-614 is a small rocky moon covered in what appears to be shag-like moss. It is rumoured to have appeared upon Schenn’s arrival in Chicago.
 
−
|'''Lykourgos'''. One of Schenn’s largest moons, it has been noted to resemble the moon that was destroyed during the season 10 finals. [[Flermilab]]’s observations have observed something resembling the effect of tides on Schenn’s form, though this has not been confirmed.
 
−
|'''HELMINTH 3520'''. Debris from what appears to be a previous civilization’s spacefaring module(s) has been spotted multiple times in Schenn’s orbit and are referenced by astronomers collectively as HELMINTH 3520. Currently, research suggests that the designers of HELMINTH must have been aquatic or semiaquatic, as indicated by computer-generated reconstructions of the module’s structure as well as trace amounts of liquid water found on the remaining fully enclosed pieces.
 
−
|'''WR-1-THE'''. Ohio scientists located a singular earthworm (likely ''Lumbricus'' sp.) in an irregular orbit around Schenn. Exact details of this specimen are hard to determine, as it seems to shift in both mass and structure and actively resists taxonomic classification; it is currently unknown whether this specimen is alive or not.
 
−
|'''Sundial 2'''.  This is a small fusion reactor resembling a sun, which orbits Schenn.  It was added out of “spite” on the premise that if Schenn cannot orbit a sun, then at least a sun can orbit them, and that a fusion reactor is close enough.  The fusion reactor relies on Schenn’s unusual gravitational features to work.
 
−
|'''Onion Rings'''.  Several onion rings serving the same function as planetary rings showed up around Schenn following their transfer to Los Angeli.
 
−
|'''Spazio Deli''' A small, airtight orbital deli based on the one that sponsored Schenn.  The deli does not currently have any employees, since they all stay at the location that is not orbiting in space, but it does have top-tier self-serve meats, cheeses, and sandwiches for anyone who might stop by.
 
−
|'''Vincent Space Telescope'''.  A scientific telescope launched by [[Griflfith Obslervatory]] to observe the cosmos, named after [[Nicholas Vincent]].  The telescope has often been noted to be orbited by something resembling a mini-planet, which bears a striking resemblance to the mini-planet known to orbit Vincent’s head at times.}}
 
−
 
 
−
==Transfer to Los Angeli==
 
−
Although it is unclear exactly why Schenn came to Los Angeli after Season 22, their interest in the astrophysics work of [[Nicholas Vincent]] (who they appear to have a large collection of cosmology papers written by, and as far as anyone can tell, are always seeking out more<!-- (is this how to best express their admiration from an outsider perspective?) -->) and in attempting to communicate with others there, despite predominantly only communicating in low, tectonic growls, might provide some hints.  They adjusted relatively well to the city’s chaos and are now a common sight on its skyline.
 
−
 
 
−
The weirdness of Schenn’s gravitational field, and their common interest in science, drew the attention of gravitational physicist [[Felix Garbage]], who helped show them around the city along with [[Yummy Elliott]].  Garbage and Elliott are also two of the players most reminded of Nicholas Vincent by Schenn’s space theming, although neither have been willing to elaborate on those thoughts to the press.  Schenn was also previously somewhat familiar with [[Rivers Rosa]], and had been introduced to [[Hendricks Richardson]], who they help with research sometimes, by [[Gita Sparrow]].  [[Vito Kravitz]] is interested in all the ground Schenn has, a fact which Schenn is oblivious to.

*Schenn’s magnetic field is a frequent hazard to nearby scientific instruments; as such, they are barred from unauthorized access to any Chicago-local colleges and universities.
 
−
*Schenn is a legal gray area as both planet and blaseball player, leading to several notable civil suits that had to be brought to intergalactic court. [[Son Jensen]] has represented them in court more than once due to his experience in time-space law.  [[Son Jensen/IF-83.599|Jensen]] may be one of very few people able to speak planet, albeit definitely not fluently.

An Encore
Things don’t end neatly. Things don’t end at all.

’’’And Beyond’’’

(explain why the heck schenn came here, the homesickness and the understanding and all that tension.) Schenn was initially very overwhelmed by Los Angeli, finding it overwhelmingly loud, overwhelmingly infinite, and entirely too many things at once. McKinley Otten was a non-overwhelming presence that helped her get acquainted, while Yummy Elliott was a big help in showing her around when Schenn began to get used to the place and became extremely curious about it. She became fast friends with both, and also with Basilio Fig, and can often be found helping them raise plants and hanging out mostly silently.

The torn-off second page of a tourism pamphlet was found in the hotel room Schenn used when she first arrived, reading as follows.

the Infinite Cit(ies) welcome you, Wanderer, and WE hope you enjoy your time here, WE suppose.

Los Angeli’s recent history is defined by the moment when WE realized WE would never be the place we were before, again. the moment when everything, already weakened, fell apart.

there’s just one short warning WE have for you, Wanderer, just one thing WE implore you to keep in mind, just one bit of privacy WE value more than anything else…

Don’t Look Too Close.

Schenn’s curiosity, stubbornness, and interest in space reminded several of her teammates of the deceased Nicholas Vincent. Elliott was quoted saying, “Well, I can’t say she’s the spitting image of xem, because of the whole spacesuit thing, but like, they have a lot in common. Which is kinda worrying.” Reportedly, when Schenn heard the specifics of Vincent’s demise, (Give Wanda A Bad Day here)

Season 24

Schenn was one of the players in charge of driving the Chariot, the Tacos’ heavily-improvised rocket ship, during Season 24, although Vito Kravitz and Lucas Petty did most of the driving. Silvaire Semiquaver/IF-cartographer was often seen helping her with navigation, and the following is a recording from the Chariot’s emergency black box, dating back to the evening after the Coin’s death. For purposes of legibility, names have been unscattered in this transcription.

SEMIQUAVER: Hm? Oh. “Good?” I take it you aren’t a fan of the Worms?
WANDERER: (morse code) The team’s… fine. Wasn’t close with most of them, though. Ohio isn’t.
SEMIQUAVER: So it’s a problem with the place, rather than the people? I can respect that.
SEMIQUAVER: Though, I don’t know for sure what happened to any of those places. Haven’t passed by any of them to see; it could just be that the stadium is gone, or even just the players.
WANDERER: (morse code) As long as that creeping rot of a place is--
OHIO?: not dead
WANDERER: …
SEMIQUAVER: …
WANDERER: …
SEMIQUAVER: ...Do you have radio? With everyone else asleep, it feels…
WANDERER: (morse code) Like we’re alone out here? And yes.
SEMIQUAVER: Not quite how I’d describe the situation, but please do see if anyone else is on the radio.
WANDERER: (morse code) Radio’s on.
SEMIQUAVER: This is the Tacos’ Chariot, is anyone receiving?
WANDERER: (morse code) We’re watching the black hole swallow the meager comfort of the stars and it’s… eerie. I didn’t think I’d miss any of the things in there, but I didn’t think they were so… so fragile, either.
SEMIQUAVER: You’re right… the way the black hole swallows up even the most indomitable forces in its path is… well. We’re still on course, and likely to stay that way long enough to return to the desert.
WANDERER: …
SEMIQUAVER: ...
WANDERER: (morse code) Do you ever miss where you used to be?
SEMIQUAVER: Do I ever miss where I used to be? Tokyo was great. ...Do you?
WANDERER: …
WANDERER: (morse code) Everything’s better now than before, and I know this, and the only good thing there was already gone, and
SEMIQUAVER: So whether you do or not doesn’t matter.
WANDERER: …
SEMIQUAVER: ...So whether or not that matters also doesn’t matter?
WANDERER: …
SEMIQUAVER: And there’s obviously still the-- (burst of radio noise) oh, looks like someone is picking up our signal.
LOS ANGELI: chariot, WE are receiving. this is ground control Los Angeli.
SEMIQUAVER: Understood. I still have insufficient information to determine where you are relative t--
LOS ANGELI: it’s irrelevant.
SEMIQUAVER: Mm.
LOS ANGELI: anyhow, WE are just confirming that you do appear to still be on course…
LOS ANGELI: and that upon further reflection, Wanderer, you are not the only one unsure how to feel about what they were before all this.
LOS ANGELI: ...introspection. not OUR strong suit.
LOS ANGELI: Over and Out.
SEMIQUAVER: Well, that was quick.
WANDERER: …
SEMIQUAVER: Not a lot of steering to do, right now, still a few hours before we have to consider making any adjustments. If you wanted to wake Vito and Lucas up and get them in here, we could.
WANDERER: (morse code) Nah. It’s not exactly fun out here, and I’d rather not be in this situation in the first place, but at least I’m not alone.
SEMIQUAVER: At least there’s that. Alright then, onwards it is.

On Season 24 Day 91, with the black hole bearing down on the league, Felix Garbage was swept Elsewhere. Reportedly, Schenn froze up for a solid ten seconds in a clear panic and then dove in after him.

Schenn had previously learned (describe undertaker in a tonally appropriate way) from fellow Firefighter Justice Spoon, but had not used it since joining the Tacos, expressing that although Elsewhere was an interesting place to explore, it was very empty and lonely. It can be assumed, however, that she decided being Elsewhere was better than leaving someone else Elsewhere alone over the long upcoming offseason.

Reports on Schenn’s status as of the end of Season 24 vary.
