Did anyone else imagine Illaoi to be older?

While I was reading Shadow and Fortune , I was imagining Illaoi as an elder of Bilgewater, but her splash makes her seem like she is maybe in her late 30s? What do you guys think? Am I the only one?

Nope, not the only one. Also, that face. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wNhZegQY-YY/VkKii8kFBgI/AAAAAAAAIKU/aXg_yY7GjXg/s1600/Illaoi_Square_0.png

I need to go back and re-read the story with this face in mind. More threatening than the Harrowing? Maybe?

Eh, imagined her to be from early 50s to late 60s. Kinda dissapointed.

I'm not really disappointed. It just was unexpected for me. The champion looks pretty epic in my opinion.

She was implicitly a former love interest of Gangplank's, and I never took Gangplank to be into corpse robbing. Furthermore, Illaoi was portrayed as being awfully strong, stronger than I'd expect of an old woman. So no, no I didn't.

I knew some people were reading into that side of her, but it didn't seem straight-forward to me. It makes sense, though.

I am thought she an old, fat lady. Jesus christ was I surprised when she really was an Amazon Beauty looking like she is around late 20's to early-mid thirties. It's say she is 32 years old.

Lol! I did not imagine her fat, but I did imagine her to have grey hair and a few wrinkles XD

No. It emphasized numerous times how strong she was. Especially when she picked up MF like a rage doll.

Yeah, I knew she was strong, but I was imagining like Master Roshi or some sort of martial master. Definitely a formidable person, just someone also wiser and older.

I thought she would be more elegant like an actual priestess instead of a juggernaut...

I was hoping for a new support tbh.

I imagined her as being younger.
