Oh, she's totally capable of that in theory-my rant was about 'She's got wingy things that don't do anything yet' and how long she's got to wait for that to 'develop' fully. Might take a million years, might happen tommorow. The other names were girls with similarly confused developmental histories-Etna and Rozalin are obstensibly the same species, but Etna's an early adolescent at 1300+ while Rozalin got to the age of majority in a much shorter timeframe of two decades. Since she's a demon who reincarnated on purpose, that might be excused as getting past all the nasty hormonal bits of puberty.

Mir is even more confusing in her own way-think of her as a Boomer designed to look and think like a 15 year old girl until her reactor runs out of power in a century and a half. That'll do as a rough first order approximation. With that in mind, when she goes rogue 30 years into her design life, does she get tried for war crimes as an adult or as a minor? Has she ever passed the age of consent?

The point is that Sari's obviously still using her 'teenage' form, and while I don't doubt that her 'Adult' form will be every bit as slim and speedy, I do wonder when she'll upgrade again. After all, NAIS is a school of higher learning, and most people have finished growing when they attend. Incidentally, this leads me to question if Sari is old enough to buy beer, and if not, if she has tried alcohol to see if it has any effect on her.
