Ah, I stand corrected on Rosso then. I don't remember that detail anywhere in the game, but then, I pretty much played it in as straight a line to the finish as possible so must have missed it. Shame, I was enjoying that bit of head!canon. My party there is spoiled.

I will argue the case on Shelke though - she was definitely nine years old when she was kidnapped into Deepground, and she stopped ageing due to the constant mako treatments. Shalua wouldn't have recognised her either, if she'd been just an infant.
