No, though with long lives you tend to go through the levels longer than humans would. Ferny is equivalent to Phoebe but much much older in years. Their 9 is longer than our 9 just as we are to dogs and cats.
It’s like the temporal situation with Cara and Lightfoot in Bruce Coville’s “The Unicorn Chronicles.” She was a teenager, and when she asked Lightfoot how old he was, he answered, “Old by your standards, quite young by ours.” When she asked him for a more specific answer, he said, “While I am slightly more than a hundred years old, by my people’s standards I am what they might call a teenager.”

How long’s it been? A week? A month? No, seriously, time is entirely a construct of mortal perception and I can’t wrap my head around it.

I’ve always assumed that Marigold is a young adult in Unicorn years

I think Marigold would be early twenties in Unicorn years.

Is Dana trying to keep us from knowing Ferny’s gender on purpose? I don’t know what kind of voice I should have for Ferny in my head.

How old is the forest’s median-aged tree, though?
