Could not find any information on this. How old is Merrill?

[Paraxial]

To my knowledge there is no definite answer. I've always thought Merrill was as old as Hawke, 20ish.

We tried to figure it out in the Merrill thread. I think the calculations came out to an absolute minimum age of 14-15 or so when you meet her. But nobody knows for sure.

At the Dalish 10 year clan reunion, at the age of 4, she was given from her Nevarran clan to the Ferelden Clan. Last time she saw her parents was over 10 years back, so lets assume she's been with Marethari for more than the last time they had a clan reunion. So... 25-26? I'm be down with the idea that she's older than Hawke. Actually thats kinda awesome.

Not necessarily.

Merrill is 4 - given at dalish 10 year clan gathering. This is also the last time she sees her parents.
Merrill is 14 - clan gathering again, meets the other named elves, valine or something.
Merrill is 15, crosses the ocean, is now in kirkwall.

How long do elves live anyway in the dragon age? I know they used to be immortal but what is their reduced life span?

[1483749283]

What's the evidence that several clan gatherings haven't taken place since she was given to Maretheri? Is there any evidence that she isn't say 35 or 45?

There isn't. She could be 905 years old. There's no upper bound defined, but generally elves are said to live as long as humans.

Merrill is 18 - by Act 2 thus Hawke plays ball.

Fixed for awesome.
...
Ahhh, yes, perfecto. But damn in 11 years she learns a huge chunk of Elven history. SHE'S DOOGIE HOWSER!

I think she's 22-23 when you meet her in DA2.

That would make her 13-14 when you meet her in Origins.

While there's no dialogue that says she isn't, she's obviously not.

[Herr Uhl]

Merril being 15 when you meet her brings too much creepy, so I prefer to think that she's about the same age as the Dalish Warden.

More like 15-16 in that above scenario. 

I personally just view her as being around 24; Hawke has always struck me as being around the same age. Maybe that's just me projecting, though - I'm six years older than my sister, and the Hawke twins are 18 years old.

No, in the above scenario, she's 15 when she gets to Kirkwall, 16 when you meet her. That makes her 13-14 in the Dalish orign.

Hawke's age, I think, is player-defined. Your Hawkw was 24, mine was 21. But I agree that Merrill is likely around 24.

She's a big 14. HAWT

She is as old as you want. A player who likes her character will see her age close to his own age.

It's never explicitly stated. Even Hawke's specific age isn't given. As you can tell, plenty of people have theories on what age Merrill could be.

[Moondoggie]

There's a disturbing ammount of people who want to believe she is underage when you first meet her XD

Bioware really should include character ages in codex entries it would solve so many debates.

[Mary Kirby]

She is approximately the same age as Tamlen and the Dalish Grey Warden.

Isn't that like saying "She's the exact age that she is."?
