User blog:Robykirby/How old is Nora?

First of all, bear with me, this is a bit of a thing I've been thinking about for a while.

With the reveal of a height chart of different characters of RWBY, something seemed to jump out at me immediatly, out of all of the known characters on this chart, I find it surprising that Ruby is NOT the shortest, and that Nora is in fact depicted as being shorter than Ruby, who is supposed to be 2 years younger.

What could also be worthy of note is Nora's personality. Compared to every other character, she acts in an almost spontaneous and hyperactive manner consistently, whereas with every other character, the biggest outburst of overexcitment comes from Ruby, and that was about something that she truly has an extreme interest in, weapons.

Also, Nora's spatial awareness (not if thats the right term to use) seems to be much more lacking than that of her teammates, knocking Blake off of the bridge in episode 8, along with some of her downright unsafe practices, such as literally flipping a bridge to get Jaune across to the rest of team JNPR, with little to no care for Jaune's safety in the least (Jaune's aura had only recently been unlocked, so that may have made it even more dangerous).

Speaking of team JNPR, what about Ren? Its possible that he may be covering for Nora somehow, correcting her mistakes when recallling her dream, scolding her, most notably in episode 8 after Nora obtains her chesspiece. Their interests may not be romantic, then perhaps it is that of a brother-sister kind of relationship, or maybe even that of a parent and child?

As such, I conclude that Nora may not be the age she seems. Now I don't mean to say she's extremely young, like 8 or something, but more along the lines of 12-15, perhaps. Keep in mind that this is just speculation on my part.
