at five i made my choice as a human being to become vegetarian and ive stuck by it....at that age i had learned to fight with swords for real and was defeating my fair share of opponants. we stop being children when we loose that sense of innocense
Okay. sorry, I stand corrected. You are considered an adult at 16 in the UK. However, it is awful what some children in the world are put through, like being sent to war or child prostitution, but they are still children. Just because they may have an awful childhood doesn't mean they are not still kids.

You also say that we stop being children when we lose that sence of innocence, well Rikku hasn't lost hers, which in your book should still define her as a child.
