So I decided to make an NPC for one of my D&D campaigns (I'm the DM). Originally, she was a bad-tempered adult. Now, she's a 9 year old sweetheart who half the party wants to adopt. I don't know what happened either.
Wait, what? Was there like... an age-reduction spell or something?
You heard em, they don't know what happened. :P
I made a spoiled princess with a god complex, assuming my players would try to screw her over in some way. Instead they decided to train her to be a warrior. Players are weird.
I just wanted to make a beggar character to see how my PCs would treat someone less fortunate. Now he's the office manager for their detective agency, even though his reading and writing skills are rudimentary.
I've found that I pretty much need to make every humanoid enemy as unabashedly awful as possible to keep my players from trying to spare and arrest them. I've pretty much given up on bandit attacks because they're usually happy to just beat them up give them a few gold and either hope they turn their lives around, or if they're near a town tie them up and turn them over to the guards.
What if the NPC is a very short and awful adult in disguise as a child, sent to spy on or sabotage them, and they suddenly reveal themselves in some diabolical way? Mwhahahahaha!

What's wrong with that? That's a chance for the players to demonstrate that their characters are compassionate people. Or, depending on the tone of your setting, fools.

Maybe she's like 20 years old, but she's an elf. Physically elves at that age look like children, but they are considerably more wise and crafty than your average 9-year-old.

.............. or mayb she is a Warforged ( that race seems to be a bit gender-less ), which it goes best fited for an NPC creation.
I once DMed a campaign, and I briefly mentioned some npc pulling fish from a boat. The warlock decided to be his best friend and now the fisherman npc basically does everything for the party (their choice not mine)
