Meaning in "the 90s" she was between 5 and 15 years old. Meaning for the Tower employee to have known her name she either had to have been shouting it, wearing it on a shirt. Or Elissa Bassist is the youngest debit card holder ever. <br /><br />Or she's embellishing/ llying, like the boundless evil that spawned her.
