And with that post, my first topic ever becomes a hot topic. Or as they're called in Canada, West 49s.

Knowing what stage of life she's at is part of knowing her characterization.

What stage of life she's at?  But she (like Hanners) is a clear case of partially-arrested development! 

Socially, she's probably close to scarred's 11 1/2. 

Emotionally, a little older (teenage, still, but I think she's been held back some by social rejection). 

Intellectually?  Who knows - haven't seen enough of her to guess.  Most of the verbal sparring the other characters get into denotes a fairly mature intellect (the ability to run with a gag is not something most kids can do). 

Physical age?  She's obviously old enough to drink in a bar, but believe me, that doesn't mean much! 

The more we get to know her, the younger she seems to be acting.  Which is probably the confusing factor that led to the creation of this thread! 

God, I need to get a life and quit analyzing webcomic characters.  It's a really sad hobby...

As soon as I saw her, I figured she was at least late 20's. I think between 28-33 I was obsessively into gaming. Not so much anymore (though Fallout 3 DID occupy my time for a while)

She started MMOs because she figured it would help hone her head hacking skills...

That is a very good alliteration. Makes me wish I could instigate ideas in indivisible intonations.

Yeah. The two blue ones that disappeared? One got sucked into a portal to an alternate dimension where WoW is real, and the other has been trying to free him ever since, taking on new identities ever fifty years to cover his tracks.

I shower but once a week and my acne hasn't been much of a problem since I stopped eating animal products and processed sugar.  Despite digging through garbage cans frequently and using soap on a weekly basis, my skin is decent. 
Just throwing it out there that washing is not necessary to prevent pimples. :D

Thanks for sharing...

Actually, most (but not all) acne is a sebacious gland sabotaging the hair follicle it lives in.  I found my facial acne practicallty went away when I stopped shaving and let me beard grow out. 

On the other hand, when I started losing the hair on top (curse you, male pattern baldness!) I would get acne around the edges of the growing bald spot.  Still do, sometimes - I think it's the swan song of a dying follicle!

Yeah. The two blue ones that disappeared? One got sucked into a portal to an alternate dimension where WoW is real, and the other has been trying to free him ever since, taking on new identities ever fifty years to cover his tracks.

It always kinda bugged me that the other two were both blue.  It would've been cooler if they were each a different color.

I like the way we just meet Radagast briefly, and how there's others we don't even know about ("because they do not come into these tales" or something) but then we find out that the other two were both the same color.  Boring!

"because they do not come into these tales" or something
Because one is in the south and the other in the east. They also fight against Sauron, but they have nothing to do with the Hobbits.

but then we find out that the other two were both the same color.  Boring!
They're mentioned only once in LotR, so it's easier to remember if they have the same colour. Or maybe they have different shades of blue.

Were they both the blue at the same time, or did one do something to lose his wizard status and a new guy took over? Like the two white wizards...
