Alrighty, my first thread. To put simply I am 25 and male and one of two of my POV characters is female.
My general knowledge of the human body is reinforced of roughly 4 years of general biology, one year of which was college 101 and the other three were high school.
So I understand the nuts and bolts... however here's where I'm running into a problem. I need real world information so I'll describe this is best I can in general terms most people will understand.
The setting fantasy non-earth in an era. Nutrition for this character is not a problem despite it being something akin to a medieval/ancient continental Japan.
The character herself is a skilled thief, she's 15/14 years of age of an asian like descent and reasonably healthy. So reasonably small.
The problem lies in I know upper body strength is not exactly a female attribute in grown women, much less a young adolescent of the same sex. What would be the typical limits of someone who was from essentially birth raised in an athletic and physically dangerous environment for a Venice like city.
Think DnD Rogue and the like.
Anyone know of what kinds of problems I should expect?
And how debilitating would a menstruation be during physically stressful situations such as traveling, marching, burglary?
Thanks!
