Continuing the conversation about headcanons: what do you think of the theory that Vette lied about her age?
When I posted the discussion about the companions' headcanons, I was surprised to see that so many people thought Vette might have lied about her age.
To give a brief, spoiler-free summary for those who don't know the context: Vette has a rather tragic past and, at some point, had to rebuild her life. Basically, there comes a point where it is implied —or even made fairly obvious— that she had to change her identity more than once, either by her own choice or because someone else forced her to. It's also possible that she lied about certain aspects of her life in order to get into different places or situations.
Additionally, this could explain some things about the way she acts and how she was treated by certain members of her family and people close to her before she met us.
Now, there's something I want to clarify: this is only a theory. I think there would be some "problems" if something like this were ever made canon, especially depending on how they decided to handle it.
Anyway, what do you think about this theory? I'm also curious to know what your characters would do if this turned out to be true. I know some people roleplay with their characters, while others simply consider Vette a friend, but I admit I'm especially curious about what those who have a romantic relationship with her would do.
And just to be clear: I'm not insulting anyone or saying that this theory is true. If something like this had happened, it is very likely that no one within the story —or even in real life— would know the truth.
