Forum:Madam Shirley's age

ok so here is my problem, it seems to me that there is a problem with the ages of Shirley and Hody. the site states Shirley is 25-29 and Hody is 30. i looked over the manga, sbs included, nothing indicating Shirley's age, but Hody is realy 30. and if you look at this pic you see Shirley being at less twice Hody's size, so in less fishmen grow at a slower rate then marmaids, this would indicate is older than Hody, not younger.

can you help me out if im missing something, or is the site wrong. Ltbwolf 04:40, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Her tail hasn't split yet, so she isn't 30.

Well, perhaps Oda made a mistake/typo in his math or something. Or perhaps Shirley simply had her split tail re-merged back into one, as Kokoro did when she saved the Straw Hat Pirates during Enies Lobby. 07:21, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

She's mentioned as being Arlong's younger sister. We don't know how much younger, but she looks young. Oda mentioned that he only had young, unsplit mermaids in the cove, where Shirley lives. She's also only shown using the floaty bubble thing. If she was 30+, why not just walk? She's also bigger than the average mermaid, so her being bigger than Hody when they're both young doesn't mean much.
