Edit: Oh but one moment, Liara said in ME1 she is only 106 or was it 7 ? And that she is still seen(?) as a "child" in the Asari World.
She says that she's seen as little more than a child by other Asari Scholars, it has nothing to do with physical maturity but rather her age compared to other established researchers in her field. It would be like someone a year or two after getting their PhD claiming that the Mayan civilization collapsed because of an attack by peoples living in modern day Florida, dispite the evidence this person could provide many would dismiss it out of hand because the individual is not an established name in the field with many years of experience. So she's not an Ardat-Yakshi . . .
Indeed. I do now wonder if a newborn asari is considered to be a Maiden or not? I always took the three stages of the asari life-cycle to be parts of their adult life, and not parts of their entire life. Thus, all asari are considered adults when hitting the Maiden stage, and this occurs after their childhood stage (where they grow up from a newborn into a full adult asari). Thus, a Maiden is like a young adult, but not a child. I could be wrong, but that was my interpretation.
This is what the Wiki sais...
Asari pass through three climacteric life stages, marked by biochemical and physiological changes:
- The Maiden stage begins at birth and is marked by the drive to explore and experience. Most young asari are curious and restless.
- The Matron stage of life begins around the age of 350,
though it can be triggered earlier if the individual melds frequently.
This period is marked by a desire to settle in one area and raise
children.
- The Matriarch stage begins around 700 years of age, or
later if the individual melds rarely. Matriarchs become active in their
community as sages and councilors, dispensing wisdom from centuries of
experience. Their knowledge and guidance may be one reason why
Matriarchs are rarely seen outside asari space.
However, it should be noted that, each stage can be started whenever
an asari feels that she has reached the correct level of maturity. While
each stage of life is marked by strong biological tendencies,
individuals do make unexpected life choices. For example, there are
Maidens who stay close to home rather than explore, Matrons who would
rather work than build a family, and Matriarchs who have no interest in
community affairs.
Thus the asari life cycle is their entire life. A Newborn Asari is, as wiki sais, a Maiden.
Is Liara going to be a Matron soon, because of the meldings with Shep ? In the Cabin she wasnt really averse of the thought of children. *g*
