Joining the Lift

Silvaire Semiquaver joined the Lift in Season 12 rather suddenly and unexpectedly, dragging Concrete Mandible into the shadows in her place. Vague and frazzled, Semiquaver explained to her new teammates that she had been lost in the depths of the Legscraper’s shadowy labyrinths for so long that she had lost track of her life before, including what era she had come from. The only thing she could say for certain was that she had been employed as some sort of cartographer, and may have initially entered the labyrinths to explore and map them.

After the initial shock of returning to a somewhat stable reality, Semiquaver gained confidence and shook off the vague demeanor she had arrived with. However, she still holds suspicions of things changing when she isn’t looking, and often is seen carrying sketchbooks with which she can document how everything is situated to ensure she will notice if they change.

Blaseball Career

Semiquaver started her career on the Lift as a batter, filling the position vacated by Mandible. She made use of her canny and practical attitude on the field by judging the best openings for stealing bases, so that although she had a mediocre history at bat, she was proficient at running bases when she managed to successfully get on base. After seasons of expressing heavy distaste for batting, she finally put her foot down and refused to bat a single day more. She retreated from active play until she eventually faxed into pitching, where she is skilled at reading the opponents and exploiting their weaknesses.

Joining the Tacos

In Season 23, Semiquaver was randomly selected by the Tacos’ Gachapon blessing and brought to Los Angeli. She expressed clearly visible concern about the instability of the infinite cities, locking herself in her room for the first few weeks and only coming out reluctantly when she faxed in for Rat Mason.

Semiquaver filled up dozens of sketchbooks with observations of the city, but the majority of those observations were quickly rendered inaccurate, sometimes even before she could finish sketching. After a certain point, she slowed down with the sketching and, while still documenting many things that could change around her, stopped trying to keep tabs on the entire city.

An anonymous fan stated in an interview, “she’s charming. WE appreciate her caution and respect for privacy, and hope she might consider US a friend.”

Semiquaver’s cartography experience came in handy in Season 24 when navigating the depth chart, keeping the team on course with a level head and a steady sense of direction.

Personal Life

As one of the more private members of her team, not much is known about Semiquaver’s personal life. During interviews, Semiquaver emits an air described by many to be mildly off-putting. She comes prepared, somehow procuring the reporters’ own agendas for the day so that she can turn questions back on the reporters, expertly diverting attention from herself and noting the responses in her sketchbooks. Viewers often end up knowing more about the reporters and their agencies than they do about the intended subject of the interview, Semiquaver herself. It is still unclear whether she is gathering this information for a purpose or as a distraction.

Fans have been able to glean little of her relations with her teammates. Former teammates Goodwin Morin, Halexandrey Walton, and Steals Mondegreen have all mentioned living with Semiquaver during their respective stays on the Lift, and during games, she can be seen conversing with Cudi Di Batterino and Engine Eberhardt and taunting the Beefwing stand employee. On one notable occurrence in Season 13, Semiquaver and Ayanna Dumpington could be seen holding hands on third base, leading fans to speculate on whether they shared a love life. Both parties refused to comment at the time, and Semiquaver later put out a public statement that fans should really mind their own business.

The Tacos accepted Semiquaver quickly, with some claiming that her friendship with Wyatt "Jasmine" Mason makes them “basically family”. During Mason’s brief stay on the Lift, she had often been seen wearing more feminine-presenting clothing borrowed from Semiquaver. Since joining the Tacos, Semiquaver appears to have befriended Wanda Schenn, the team’s resident astronaut, with the two often seen together around LA. She has also been seen talking frequently with Basilio Fig, and Basilio Mason is a known fan of her sense of style: elegant without losing any freedom of motion. By contrast, she has expressed extreme suspicion of troublemaker and shapeshifter Pannonica Oko.
