[@ArenaSnow] Well if she looks like a 12 year old she most likely is around that age.[/quote]

He'll have to confirm what the age is himself, but from the CS I get the idea that she's older than she looks. It's not impossible, in a real world context, for people to look as much as 10 years off their age (I know one person who looks 20-something who's in her 30s >.>). 

[quote]After this Rita gained a reputation within the kingdom and was often looked towards from strategist of the kingdom for advice when they were stumped about a tactic.[/quote]

Unless Cucco literally meant the reputation came overnight, I'd give it a few years to have developed.

Either way, there's considerable room for improvement and clarification. That said, I don't think Cucco literally meant the character was 12. That would still leave her being rather young (short of someone being a total genius, it would take someone in their 20's+ to reach the tactical know-how she apparently has) and the necromancers would have a hell of a time piecing her together to be presentable after [insert Borat crushing reference here].
