Sasami's age when the princesses first show up is one of those things that varies depending on which source you check. Some say 8, yes. Others say as old as 12. All are equally Word of God, who is apparently schizophrenic. Garrick also appears to be on the scene fairly late in the storyline, which could add anywhere from six months to a year to that age. In which case, she could conceivably be almost 14. Given that girls are starting their periods as early as 10 these days thanks to many factors we don't need to go into here, the situation is far from unlikely.
