Ah, 19, I had honestly forgot her age. And tbh, Phantom Lord had really low standards for S-Class mages lol. This is why I said if the user is going to make them powerful, 17 and up. It's not about being S-Class, just what I see in the abilities section.

I think the reality here is that in this manga powerful people have all be 17 and over. Wendy isn't powerful, let's face the facts on that one. With that in mind, I think it sets the example that early teenagers can only be so skilled before they hit their stride in strength progression. It's interesting that you mention talent, but this isn't Naruto or HxH with powerful pre-teens.

I know all about young mage doing stuff, Laxus became S-Class at 16 and Erza at 15 -- but those were under low-ish standards. I'm just saying it's best to have a set age on this fanon, so that we can easily tell someone when their character is too young to be boasting a certain level of power. It's a small thing to ask the user to make their character 17 instead of 16. It also makes our lives easier.

ANYWAY, we don't actually know how this character is going to turn out. Hence the "if".
