How old was she when Spike killed her. 17?

she would most likely -- but not definitely -- have been in her early twenties, since she had a 4 or 5 year old kid at the time...it would almost be physically impossible for her to be seventeen at the time....

Uh, so how old was she when she was called?

Pretty sure that was never mentioned. Neither was whether she has the kid after she was called or before; clearly not all slayers are called at the same age (no one can tell me s3 Faith was 14), so both versions are possible.

Okay, I think I might have found the answer. Nikki was turning 18 and was pregnant. So she must have had Robin shortly after turning 18. He was four when she died, so she had to be 22. So now all I need to know is, when was called? I can't remember, the avrage age for a salyer to be called is 16 right? And that's not including those who are found and trained from a young age.

Found it, she was called at age 15 or just turned 16, in 1970, she died in 1977. So she served for seven years. So I'm guessing she was one of the longest lived slayers, huh?

Is that really canon? When was that mentioned? I looked it up just now, and I didn't find anything about her age.

So much for good sources. I looked at the Nikki Wood article on Wiki, and it only mentioned her year of death. *pout*
