It's absolutely possible for a girl 15/16 to have the maturity of a woman twice that age.. I'm 26 now but when I was 15, I had the exact same attitude toward life as I do now.. but honestly I was attractive to boys at that age but in no way desired to have teen sex.. Now I know there are a lot of girls out there who are/were not like me and did but I really don't see Marion that way, I think Indy was something she wasn't planning on and actually fell really badly for him... I dont think she normally would have affairs like that.. she doesn't seem like that at all.. and Indy did say in the Raiders novel that he saw her as a woman and not as a teen, because of her maturity.. but we all know there are teen flirts and or sluts looking for curiosity teen sex out there but Marion wasn't one of those.
Now I'd like to hear your view.. can you understand how a 25/26 year old Indy could/would fall for a 15/16 year old Marion?
Damn it you're putting me on the spot.
On a physical level, I remember a girl in my class in FORTH GRADE who was fully developed! Big curves and a HUGE chest...in a certain way I feel sorry for her now. I don't see Marion in that way.
On an emotional level I remember in SECOND GRADE, being teased by brothers and friends for being in love with an older girl and it didn't bother me in the least. It was true and it was partly physical, looking back onit she reminds me of Karen Allen quite a bit! She was mousy, which means petite and very cute. She was not like other girls, gossip-y and giggle-y and I pined away for her for a long time. We finally stole away to the choir loft in church and had an unforgetable romantic, (nonsexual) moment. I still smile today.
Marion strikes me as this type.
Now to the difficult question, I was once propositioned by a young girl by way of a four page love letter and I wrote her back the requist you'll find the right person/don't rush it type response.
I imagine if the stars were aligned, (code for a virtually impossible set of situations and requirements all happening at once), it's not improbable.
Hell if she could speak seven languages, if she wasn't vapid...the list goes on but if she was anything like Indy was when he was a boyscout, sure I could see it.
