Wyatt Pothos
Wanda Pothos is a batter for the Los Angeles Tacos. She got her career in splorts started in blasketball as a star power forward for the Walla Walla Widows. Wanda was noted for her ruthless defense and her method of scoring by going around or through her opponents. In her first autobiography, I Eat Mashed Pez For Breakfast, she and Coach ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ referred to her tactics in play as 3-D: Dismantle Destroy & pass-through-their-boDy. After seven NBLA championship victories, she announced her retirement and her intention to officially join the splort of kickball at the encouragement of Tacos Coach Al Pastor. When asked about which team she was interested in joining, she said: "Well, I wanna stay on the West Coast, so I'm hoping for either the Lovers or the Tacos. But, since I don't really believe in 'love' as a concept anymore, I'd prefer the free food. Tacos all the way." She was later drafted to the Tacos. Only after joining the league was it made clear that she had joined a blaseball team.
Her original hopes were to be a pitcher, but she insisted on throwing the blaseball as though she were shooting a three-pointer. Al Pastor found her practicing and insisted she take the plate instead. Allegedly, Pastor had pitcher Sexton Wheeler pitch extra-hardshell tacos at Wanda, with the additional caveat that she needed to catch the tacos she hit. Here, she discovered her abilities as a hitter and as a capable third blaseman/shortstop. She officially became a hitter and mostly handles Third Base.
She has an average amount of arms and legs, as long as she wants to. She is a fan of heckling the opposing batters.
Pothos has been a member of the team since Season 1.
The 1998 Fluree Abduction Incident
Wanda Pothos made national headlines as a young girl. While originally living in Northern Clalifornia, she was among several children abducted by the Fire-Winged Faeries that escape out of the Redwood Forests to claim their sacrifices every decade or so, known as the Flurees. While it was a usual occurrence that the people of Northern Clalifornia would simply accept the sacrifices, due to being unable to track the Flurees down, Wanda's abduction changed things for the small communities ear the Redwood Forests. Thanks to Wanda's unique physiology and volume adjustment abilities, her cries echoes across the entirety of Northern Clalifornia and Southern Orlegon.
With Wanda's unstoppable hissing and crackling, the Red Riding Hoods were able to find the newest crop of abductees and squirrel them away safely back to their families. They also began hunting the Flurees out of the Forests and deeper into the Pacific Ocean. The hunt continues on to this day.
About the incident, Wanda has no real recollection. In her usual deadpan she recalled the situation saying:
I don't really remember anything about it. I remember a lot of lights, lotta trees, a persistent static hum, and all care about my second grade crush leaving my body. Then I was picked up and handed back to my parents and I think there was a wild fire? I don't remember, I don't read the news.
News reports see Wanda's mother saying: "We're so happy to have our little girl back.
The same reports have Wanda's Father saying: "I think she should play blasketball."
