Wait… What? How is Diana that old? I’m so confused

They’ve established–without really stating it outright–that Diana ages very quickly. I mean, if each season takes roughly a year, she was born slightly after the middle of season 3 and yet showed up at the end of season four as a kid who looked to be around three years old. At that rate of aging, looking like maybe a nine or ten-year-old a year later doesn’t seem all that unreasonable.

This is actually a trope used a lot in order to get characters introduced into the plot as babies to an age where they can actively participate in events. It’s called a Plot-Relevant Age-Up.

There are a lot of little threads running through this season for the different characters. For instance:

  • Is Rosalee’s “old friend” from the past gone for good, or will he be back?
  • Will Adalind tell Nick about her powers returning before he finds out on his own?
  • Is Meisner still daydreaming about Adalind?
  • Will Sean really join up with Black Claw in order to get Diana back, or is he playing them?
  • Is Adalind going to go off the deep end again in order to get Diana back?
  • Where is Trubel? Is she coming back this season?
  • Does baby Kelly have any powers of his own?

Hopefully we get some answers before the season is over!
