So back then apparently 12 years old was the “OK” age to marry your child off to another family, so I went ahead and decided that as soon as she was 11 they wanted to marry her off, to show their desperation to pretty much get rid of her. Also… I learned this today because I was doing research, but apparently it took Vikings/old-Scandinavians years to plan a wedding. So even though they were engaged at a pretty young age they would eventually marry at a slightly more decent-not-really age. So I guess that's a positive thing? But poor Hel. :(

This is coming out so beautifully, I really love your additional side notes. Yep, this was okay well into what we would consider pretty close to the modern age...poor Hel:(

Ah, watching a Mother's disappointment towards you deepen over time - I can so relate! To be fair, my Mom and I get along better now I think xD

LOL //pat//pat - I do think parents/children get along better with each other when they're older, better communication and understanding, at least I think so :p

That is sad. I really like how you had them change with time.

It is so sad :( but thank you!! I thought it would be a nice way to show how they've aged without needing to go into the details of their years :)

Yeah, dude, making a character's parents hate you is rough. And thanks :D I'm trying to experiment and find out which way is best to display the atmosphere of the page for certain scenarios :)
