How old is Hornet in The Thief Lord?

My guess is that she is around the same age as Prosper or Scipio

• approximately twelve or thirteen. EDIT: Prosper's age is given as

twelve. Hornet's age is never given, but this is her description from the book:

"She was slender and had brown hair, which she wore in a long, thin braid that went right down to her hips and looked like a long stinger. It had given her her nickname: Hornet. She never answered to anything else." Her real name is Caterina Grimani; Prosper found it written in the front of a few of her books.
