When the clones were first made, or when the war started?

The war. Were you alive for it?

[resnipstance]

Oh! Of course. ... I fought in it. [That sentence is horrifying enough on it's own when you consider her age-- she only looks around sixteen or seventeen, and certainly no older.] It started three years ago.
