I just now realized that I yanked Sakura Kinomoto out of her home timelike two days and a few hours before her birthday. Guess who has to stay 11 another six months?
Actually these appear to be all on-purpose decisions. With a birthday of April 1, that makes her the youngest person in her class because that's the cutoff date in Japan. So a CLAMP decision to make her more adorable. And I chose that time to abduct her just before she could start a new school, so I didn't have to write anything related to Clear Card arc, which hadn't begun to air when I started writing.
Of course at her age, she'll want to be older, and we'll just round up the year. And have a (half?) birthday party I need to write.
I'm giving Yomi a similar treatment, but she'll get to have almost a whole year subtracted from her official age. You see, Yomi plans ahead for middle age.
