<p>I don't believe her actual age is given in either series and since she is a modified homunculus, she ages much slower than an average person. </p>

<p>Based on evidence given in the <em>Fate</em> series, approximately how old is Illyasviel von Einzbern in <em>Fate/Stay Night</em> and <em>Fate/Zero</em>?</p>

Based on evidence given in the *Fate* series, approximately how old is Illyasviel von Einzbern in *Fate/Stay Night* and *Fate/Zero*?
