I usually don't choose a character model until my charrie is older, that's what I had done with Carigan, and what I will do with Hawthorne. That's because there is limited child actors. I think that some 11 year olds DO act like children, but some THINK they are mature enough for a relationship, but its all in the way you play them. I play Hawthorne as head strong and kind of mature for her age, but it's because of her back story... she had to grow up fast.
