[quote]If you insist on your character being eighteen years old ( and having a twenty seven year gap with her eldest brother), she would have to be a baby, yet I still do not see it working out for you. Perhaps you should increase her age slightly, say, make her twenty and make her guardian set off on the road with her while she's a baby or even in her mother's womb, but her mother dies during childbirth (for the sake of drama).[/quote]

A timeline section in the OP would be useful, eh?

But, I think she was old enough to have been born a few years before the royal incident (5-10 years old). So how old exactly am I looking at here given those preferences? Once I get the information, I will edit her age and fill in young adult bio stuff.

Though if I threw away that preference and go with the "she was an infant" as you suggested, I could do that. Just want to figure out my options.
