Not necessarily too old- I have Devika at about the same age, but that's because she's a transfer. I do have to say that being found by Storm and known as a mutant that early, Makoto likely would have been in the Academy long before this time.So... what her from getting there?

I wasn't honestly sure where Storm would have taken her at that point. To the Academy or Xavier's school ^^"
I have a bit more of a back-story for Makoto that would explain a bit. She suspects, and is right, that she started the fire. her powers appeared because she got really upset one day since her parents fought a lot. she had run off to her room to hide in the closet from her parents arguing, not totally realizing (because she was 4 at the time) that as she had run off she had caused sparks (literally) that had caught something on fire. While her parents argued they didn't notice until it was quite bad and when they tried to find Makoto she was still upset and didn't want to come out. When she had finally calmed down the house was roaring with fire and so she stayed in her closet, scared.

I would put her at about 16 or so. Like pointed out she was eased by a mutant and was know to have powers from a young age. She would have been enrolled in the academy as soon as she was old enough or when it was established whichever happened first.

I can try that for sure. I was trying to make her a bit older since I had played her 'future self' and am trying this regression thing.
