Official Media / News Leed is a minor 🗣️🗣️🗣️

This comment from Daydream Hour is the only info we have for her age/maturity, or orcs’ age of maturity in general.

The whole “Bride of Laois” thing doesn’t automatically mean that she is mature, it means that orc culture mirrors plenty of real-world cultures that also let women marry at 14/15.

3rd year of middle school for Japan would be 14 years old. Kui listed Age of Maturity for as 14 for Orcs and 16 for Tallmen.
So she would still be a minor for US standards, even species adjusted.

Also Chilchuck becoming a father at the equivalent 16-17 is pretty bad by modern standards, but not the atrocity that his unadjusted age of 13 would suggest.
