Her actual age is unknown, due to nobody knowing what year she was born. Estimates put her at around 10 or 11 when John Smith arrived. Some people say he was romantically involved with her, but others believe he played that part up to keep her from getting killed by other settlers. Those people say she was simply a translator and ambassador for several years, since she was able to learn English relatively quickly. She was ~16-17 when she was taken hostage, forcibly baptized, and married off to a tobacco farmer. She died only a few years later, around the age of 20 or 21.
IRL Pocahontas was like 11 or 12.
