Unfortunately, I have to partially agree with Amm_me. I like the setting with Theo showing either exuberance or getting ready to dance, and Coyster swatting at a planet. IMHO, on the cover Theo looks about as developed as a 14 or 15 y.o. girl would be - a Terran girl, that is. However, Theo looks like "that Liaden girl", described or referred to as such to a greater or lesser extent in several places, and is ever thought of as younger than her actual age by strangers. We have seen blond Liadens (Er Thom), so the blond hair and dark eyes is not an issue, but Liadens in general are very often mistaken to be children to unfamiliar Terrans. Female Liadens are slender and have slight, almost boyish figures, what a Terran male might think of as pre-pubescent. (Yes, I imprinted on the originally BB AoC cover with Val Con, Miri and Edger as well..)

I think this artist may have been told that the primary character was a 14/15 y.o. girl, but may not have realized that her physical appearance should be akin to that of an 11 or 12 y.o. Terran female.
