    You mean her current look? Not necessarily..

    It will be when she's already an adult technically in that world (15 in real age but 14 by fake age due to adoption circumstances) and she grew physically by magic of gods (well maybe her face was still a bit round by the illustration interpretation) but she looks a bit more mature and taller than her current look. Height-wise it was right for her age by that time.

    She got star-tied with Ferdinand (marriage in their world terminology) but it happened in the world of gods without Ferdinand's presence & knowledge. It was inevitable due to the current circumstances to save Ferdinand's life. It happened in Hannelore's 5th year story which is the spin-off of main story but practically somewhat of sequel to what happens to the main characters without focusing on Myne/Rozemyne since the main character is Hannelore.
