SLBP and IkeSen MC's age
Mar. 16th, 2020 07:18 pmInspired by a conversation with Scytale...
I think SLBP and IkeSen are intentionally coy about MC's age to allow us to self-insert better. In IkeSen I feel like the MC really could be any age from early 20s to early 50s. She's about to start her dream job, so she could be right out of school or at the peak of her long career. As a fashion designer she could be stunning at any age. I didn't see a lot of 'youthful innocence' tropes with her. So she could be young, or not. Since the warlords don't have canon ages, you could imagine them as younger or older depending on the age you give to MC.
With SLBP, we get a few more clues.
( mild spoilers for Mitsunari, Hideyoshi, Nobunaga and Shingen routes )
Do you have headcanons for MC's age? If so, are they the same across routes or different for different routes?
