I don’t think she did more things than Zojja (after all she’s still a kid, and didn’t have that much time to do things).

I think she might well turn out to be smarter than Zojja. And also, she’s less of a kitten.

She appears to do more because we’ve spent more ‘screentime’ with Taimi then Zoija. There was the book about Destiny’s Edge.

I’d say no to her being smarter for a few things.

A: Taimi is what… 13? (Or the equivilant for Asura), and actually hasn’t finished their ‘schooling’
B: Zojia is older, and has a lot more practical experiance.

Now, Taimi may be doing stuff akin to what some novels/games/movies play on which is “The kid seems smarter because they see things differently, and thus do stuff that the adults wouldn’t consider.” Doesn’t make them smarter then the college degree adults around them, just a different application of what smarts they got.

If I remember right, she was called very intelligent for a young Asura.
At least that is what Zoija said, as she asked us to take care of her (more or less).

So she has above average understanding of things. However between her and Zoija the difference is the fields.

Zoija for once is a great Golemancer. That`s her expertise.
Taimi learned in the same field, because the Golem was a great tool for her to get around.
Right now she changed subjects to a lesser known topic: ley line energy
She took a look into a new field in Rata Sum technology and is now on the frontline of understanding that area, since so far no one was really touching that matter in a big way.

We now learned that Rata Novus did allready do research in that area and was even using it in a very advanced manner, so we might see Taimi adapt and take some more leaps in that field.

Going realisticly: She is still a child and has the mind of a child. She is missing experience in life. Some experience she might never get.

Speaking of Taimi, how long is she expected to live? since she’s got that degenerative disease thing going on, though it is never specified which degenerative disease it actually is.

The disease just makes it hard for her to move around. IIRC, they don’t say it’s actually harming her/reducing her lifespan, just making it so she can’t get around on her own.

I think she should be ok for some time, Look at Steven Hawking. He’s had a degenerative mobility destroying disease most of his life and he’s 73.

Yes but that was a suprise to doctors. They expected him to live to about 23. So a disease like that can most definetely affect life expectancy. Dying young is just not a guaranteed thing, like many things in medicine.

Speaking of Taimi, how long is she expected to live? since she’s got that degenerative disease thing going on, though it is never specified which degenerative disease it actually is.

It’s seemingly very close to MS. Never stated to be fatal, but could lead to further paralysis. If we continue the MS comparison than yes MS does decrease life expectancy and introduces new dangers that could be fatal but overall life expectancy isn’t massively reduced (depending of course on age of onset, sex, access to medical care etc.).

Taimi comes off as some super genuins as a consequence of her always being in the story. It’s similar to how Kasmeer looks so remarkable and accomplished because everything revolves around the biconics these days – no-one else in Tyria seems to be doing much anymore (to the point where Priory members of the Pact for some reason needed instruction from an asuran child – where did the Pact get Priory members so inexperienced?).

Um, I always took that scene as less of the Priory members going “WAT TO DO. WE SO CONFUSED/LOST!!!!” And more of Taimi literally BARGING into the scene and yelling orders and all.

Though it could be very likely that Scruffy had sensors/ability to gather data that none of the Priory pact members did considering they just came from the airship crashes.

Left behind without defense (we cleared the area, but who says that they can`t come back) the Chakk infested in Rata Novus, studying the whole “Dragons have a weakness” stuff.

That was basicly all for her towards the end.
Without Scruffy she is pretty imobile.

Not just immobile but also in real physical danger pretty much everywhere outside of cities and outposts.

According to what I’ve read, OoW set up a base in Rata Novus when they push into Tangled Depths.

+ activating the defenses.

Given how she handles social interaction, as well as how they have portrayed her problem solving ability and information acquisition and application I would say yes, Taimi is more intelligent than Zojja. But that’s because nobody likes Felicia Day anyway.

That is kinda your own opinion.
If you don`t like her stuff, thats okay, but I think her popularity says otherwise if we start throwing words like “nobody likes her”, around (btw. I liked her in Eureka and Supernatural)
Also judging a voiceactor by the script she/he was given is also top notch, keep it up.

However, that is offtopic.

Going on topic: If we talk social intelligence, then yes, Taimi is better in that regard, from the perspective we are given. Zoijas fault is the one of almost every Asura, that they feel better than everyone else.
However even her warms up to people.

Do you remember how Taimi was at the beginning? She was as anti-social and high up as any other Asura.
The only difference between her and Zoija is (ingame) that we spend more time with her and see her change to the point she is part of a group.

Im not sure exactly where in game, but it was said that Taimi is a freaking genius even by Asura standards, I believe her designs are more advanced than prety much most Asuran, even those on the Council ( or whatever is name for the bunch in charge), at this is at her very young age.
As far as i know, Zojja is vry clever but nowhere near Taimi
I mean she’ demontrated this brilliance through out s2 and HoT story, rapidly comin up with solutions to previously uknown matters
