Dandelion is a term used to describe Talossan citizens who have not yet reached the voting age of 14 years of age. However, in theory, a Dandelion who reaches maturity and maintains his or her Talossan citizenship retains the right to be called a Dandelion.
The term dates to the early years of Talossa, and many theories abound regarding its origin. Among these are the fact that children, like dandelion weeds, tend to pop up when and where they are least expected, and grow and multiply rapidly.
Children born to or adopted by Talossan citizens are Dandelions by nature. Children who are alive at the time their parent or parents become Talossan, and who are themselves made citizens, are also Dandelions. Such citizens are distinguished by also being known as "Broad-Leaf Dandelions".
As of July of 2012, Talossa's population includes 23 Dandelions. Although Talossa has seen many Dandelions come and go, no Dandelion has yet become a voting citizen. This is liable to change in June of 2013 when No'ac'h Ventrutx, son of Ieremiac'h Ventrutx, reaches the age of 14.
