The “Little Ayn” sprite is based on the 9 year old Ayn Rand.
Ayn Rand was born in 1905.
She’s Sparklehopped from Russia in 1914 at the moment she decides she’ll be a writer.
–
“I decided to be a writer at the age of 9 … it was a specific, conscious decision … I remember the day and the
hour.”
BARBOOLABONG has it that it was at that moment that she also chose her new name, “Ayn”.
