In Corporate Guide, Pistons says that /dev/grrl is 16. So she'd be 17 now.
So...  Bets on Traveler Jones hitting on her in the near future?  ;D
Future? 17 is the legal age here.
Near Future, as in the next release.  :P

16 is legal here.  ;)  (With some provisions, that is.  18 is full-legal.).

EDIT:  Which is neither here nor there, we don't know the age of consent for NeoNET, which she is a citizen of.  Also, Shadowrunner culture might have a different view of "Age Of Consent" than regular culture due to the large proponent of metahumans in the group.  (Orks and Trolls age quickly and are physically mature at a younger age.  Elves and Dwarves take longer.  Humans are damned breeders.).

But we're getting away from the topic at hand, and REALLY getting towards items that might head into...  Well...  We probably have enough acronyms watching us all as is.

Frosty
Real Name: Jane Foster
First/Last Appearance: 6/5/57 - 4/28/74
Information: Daughter of Ehran the Scribe; Initiate hermetic mage; Shadowtalker List

Former student of and possible lover of.... Harlequin. Is that right? I know he took her from Ehran and taught her some stuff, but then remind me of a couple that fights all the time and refuses to admit that they have feelings for each other. Though he is..... infinitely older than her. Old elves need love too?

No proof of a relationship beyond student and mentor (just a very common rumour here on our version of Jackpoint).  Wasn't 'taken' from Ethran the Scribe per se, but was recruited to Harliquin's side during a ritual dual between the two (and used for some heavy duty ritual magic as well).  Only recent discovered she was Ethran's daughter... not sure if she has caught up with either Harlequin or Ethran since...

I'd be willing to bet my left arm that if she really wanted to get a hold on the jester she'd have a way to contact him. That being said, I know far less about Ehran outside of him being a former Prince.

Do you think she will be upset that Harliquin kept it from her, or that Ehran denied her.  So... either a feeling of being used, of being just a tool in a pointless struggle between the raging egos of immortal elves... or the feeling of being completly rejected by your father. Oh well...

Nah, she seems much more the type to respect what they are, what they might have to do, and probably could care less.

For those of you hip to other games, I liken her and Harlequin to Joihra and Teferi.

Having a RELIABLE way of getting him to reply, OTOH...

Meanwhile, he doesn't seem to have any trouble hijacking her JackPoint account. :)

Well, Harley is kind of an entitled jerk. :)

Look at how many tricks FastJack has learned in his lifetime.

How old is Harley again?

Well, when your brain is linked to several individuals, that can happen. I think the post at the end of Land of Promise is Ehran speaking through Frosty, as well. Clutch of Dragons lays out the fact that all the elves, at least, that were present at the Watergate Rift when Ghostwalker closed it are mentally linked on some level. The exact extent of the link is unclear, but it seems to fall somewhere between an empathic link and a mindlink spell. Presumably, the older, more powerful elves may be able to 'guide' the link to some extent.

You assume that they are even aware of it.

Well, the fiction certainly seemed to imply that Surehand and Ehran were aware of it, and Frosty said in the main article that she'd been getting 'flashes' or some such, and had discussed it with Arete. So they know something's up, they just don't know what. Just like how they apparently know that Aina isn't really dead. And if Surehand and Ehran are aware of the link, then I'd bet my last nuyen that Harlequin is aware. He might be too blinded by passion to understand what it means, but he's aware.
