"'You're the fisherman's daughter,' the old woman [Rigga] said....'Seen you and your dad at the market. Missing an arm, ain't he?'"

 

(GotM, UK mmpb p.13)

 

 

"The recruiter's expression tightened. Damn, she can't be more than twelve or thirteen...

 

...What's got her eyes looking so bloody old?"

 

This is in 1161 BS, making Apsalar's DOB 1148-49. So she is anything from 15 upwards in the main series. (GotM, US HC p.44)

 

 

"'The girl was young, pretty as an icicle and looking as warm to the touch.'"

 

(GotM, UK Trade p.42)

 

 

"...the girl couldn’t be more than fifteen years old. The exception was her eyes, which held the dull glint of weathered onyx – they looked ancient, every emotion eroded away into extinction."

 

- the year is now 1163, which backs up the conclusion that Apsalar was born around 1148. (GotM, UK Trade p.44)

 

 

"What frustrated the sorceress was that she couldn't decide who among the people surrounding her was the dangerous one. Something kept drawing her back to the young girl. But the child seemed only half there most of the time."

"The black man's expression was glacial, but she saw a flicker around his eyes. Looked like fear."

 

- Quick Ben fears Sorry. See Quick Ben's repulsing of Sorry. (GotM, UK mmpb p.82)

 

 

"The girl's dark eyes slid to her sergeant."

 

- Dark eyes. Literally dark, or an expression? (GotM, UK mmpb p.82)

 

 

"As she turned away to descend the slope and make her way to the main camp, she caught the girl's eye. A chill rippled through her. The sorceress stopped. ' You, recruit,' she called. 'What's your name?'

 

The girl smiled as if at a private joke. 'Sorry.'

 

Tattersail grunted. It figured."

 

(GotM, UK mmpb p.82-3)

 

 

"But what had pulled a seventeen-year old girl into the world of war? He (Whiskeyjack) couldn't understand it -- he couldn't get past her youthfulness, couldn't see beyond to the cold, murderous killer behind those dead eyes."

 

 (GotM, US HC p.259)

 

 

 

 

 

"Sheathed in tight silks, head wrapped and face hidden beneath a scarf, she was nonetheless worth a second glance, if only for the grace of her stride and the sway of her hips."

 

 (BH, UK Trade, p.17)
