@Tyger_Purr, A person is a "minor" until they reach 18 (or whatever the local law is). However, a "minor" is not a "child." I will grant you that the term "child' is often used loosely. However, that is not correct usage of the term. Post-adolescents are not the same as children. As far as differentiating between a 16 year old and a 19 year old, I don't know that anyone can do that without a birth certificate. Therefore it's impossible to do for non-real figures. Perhaps my perception of the line being drawn at adolescence is becaused I interned with the Probation Department's Sex Offender Unit In Ft. Worth while working on my degree. One of the things that was pointed out by the head of the unit was that it was absolutely normal for males to be physically attracted to post-pubescent females. That was not 'deviant' in any way. The attraction wasn't deviant, but acting on that attraction was clearly illegal and criminal. Pedophiles were the ones that liked pre-pubescent kids. @MorriganShadow I wasn't addressing age. I know that development varies from person to person. I was addressing growth stage. Since a 3D character has no official date of birth, all you can do that's relevant is evaluate are they pre-or post pubescent. That is the only place where any kind of objective measures can be implemented. There's no such thing as a 6 year old character. Or an 8 year old one. Or a 12 year old one. Or a 16 year old one. Or a 17 years and 354 days old one or a 22 year old one or a 27 year old one. They are infants/ toddlers/children or post pubescents with the occasional old model defined by grey hair/baldness/wrinkle textures. ;-)

Before they made me they broke the mold!
