I feel personally attacked XD

Yay new character!

The ages don't really line up with the expectations, though... unusual detail in an alternate universe.

Oh, right. Good catch. Yes [@Wayward], the average age of people attending college in this world is actually 30, around the same age one becomes a trainer.  I'll add this into the first OOC post. [@Zanavy] and I discussed this in another OOC post. 

Now, attending college has a more flexible age range than becoming a trainer. Maybe she is extremely gifted and allowed into college a few years early, up to 5 years early I would guess. This would put her age for attending college somewhere around 25, give or take a year or two. But becoming a trainer, has a solid 30 year old mark on it. 

Also, until you're done growing, youths age at one third the rate they do today. So an 18 year old in this world would look 6. And this is why the 30 year olds look 10. 

Once you hit full physical maturity, the aging process is slowed down even further, to one tenth the normal aging rate.
