[edit] Arf's age

According to the infobox, Arf is 16 years old, 22 in StrikerS. But she is a familiar created by Fate, then she has to be younger than Fate, but I don't remember Fate saying the exact date (or at least, how old was she when she created Arf). Should we change it, or keep it this way? Kurigiri 14:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I was a bit confused myself; Arf's age is based on what's found in her season 1 profile on the website. We do know she was created when Fate was 7 (sound stage 02), which means she's "actually" more like 4 years old when she meets Nanoha. It could be "dog years", though somehow I doubt that...

I agree. I was a bit weirded out myself by the website... maybe it's her mental age? Sana Jisushi 02:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
I think they may not have had a final idea as to Arf's age early in Nanoha, and tossed a number to the web designer. I don't remember when the drama CDs came out in relation to the series itself, but it's a possibility. Also, Arf's former self was dying in SS 02, but the cause isn't explicitly said; it could be old age, as 14 is pretty old for canines (I think).
Not that speculation like this belongs in the article, but hey... Magus Melchior 03:29, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
