I started wondering again about how old Lady LovelyLocks is, because I was just flipping through the storybook and it said that LLL was raised at a farm and her foster parents didn't know who she was until those colored locks suddenly popped up one day.

One could argue that it would be a sign of hitting puberty (she certainly looks a bit preteenish in many of the illustrations), but then again, she does have a certain amount of maturity to her character if you watch the cartoon... although she still doesn't have a 100% mature character, since you can catch her play ball with the maidens or join in the fun during village festivities (or she's just a playful adult).

I think it would be fair to say that she is at least older than 12, but still under 18. Fairy tale princesses traditionally seem to have a knack for being about 15 years old. I remember when I first read Cinderella, it said that she was too young to live by herself, that was why she had to endure her stepmother, but she was old enough to marry, otherwise she couldn't have gone to the ball. I stuck with the 15-year-old-princess principle while playing with the dolls, but I was wondering if anybody else had given it any thought. Although... some people think she looks younger than 12, but surely nobody would send a 12-year-old to a deserted castle to rule a country, with just two peers for company! ^^; Anyway, I'd love to hear what you think!
