I roll to sing a space-bug mating song to big bird.	Hello there! You have certainly pitched quite the curveball of a quandary for us, and we appreciate the challenge. Do I think I know anything about Blaseball after looking extensively at think-pieces, Blaseball's Wikipedia page, or Siobahn's page? Scarcely, though I believe I know slightly more than I did a day ago. But I appreciate this absurdist baseball weirdness. The tl;dr answer: Yes, we think this particular instance is okay, it seems neat! Long answer: Where I think this falls on the FAQ is the following: "Characters with limited roles in their story/limited canon information will also be judged on a case-by-case basis. We embrace the fleshing out of characters who may not have every last detail written on paper, but there must be adequate material for the character to be played." We have this rule for a myriad of reasons, but one of them is to ensure that people are being normal and not using a side character with little information in bad faith and imposing on well-developed characters from the same series. I would agree with you: the canon itself has very little detail about Siobahn as an individual, documenting only their participation in the game and what they faced. However, it seems to me that potential canonmates would be relying upon the same "book" of information. It seems to be a collaborative effort to build up a character based solely on a name and her role in the (impersonally written) story. A whole canon full of characters fleshed out entirely by fans! In a sense, it's sort of a collaborative OC. It's an interesting concept. After conferring with someone familiar with the canon we ultimately agreed upon this: It wouldn't be imposing upon other canonmates, since none of them are more developed than this and come from the same sort of collaborative lore. I don't see a reason why you can't app this character! I stress in this comment that this is an example of a case-by-case decision being made.
