Original Commentary

Originally, I had drawn the last panel. Then I started the middle panel and didn't feel it worked very well with the movements that Terrence wrote. I figured I'd scrap them and put them up on namirdeiter.net as sketchbook entries. Then I drew panel 1 and it all worked. So I left it as it was- Isabel

Modern Commentary
One of our little quirks of FBAO is that new characters look like children, and they age as you level them up.

I'd imagine that this became less and less relevant as they raised the level cap. In MapleStory (which FBAO is sometimes based on), it used to be that level 30 was an achievement that took months. Now, you can get to level 200 in an afternoon when there's an event on.

Fortunately FBAO doesn't keep aging your character, or all the max-level characters would be elderly. - Terrence
