If enough -if it's not glaringly obvious, explain it so it has a purpose and can be used later, for plot, or just to make sense. Though sense-, however, don't go add it in when you're describing your character and do it in a way that seems realistic, for example:
-->Don't do: 'Kasey blinked and rolled her eyes as John said "Aw cheer up, Flame!" Which Kasey had gained when she accidentally started a fire when she was six.'

In fanfiction, if you do GenderBender a character, you need to keep two things in mind: 1, don't change the name to much, Harry Potter shouldn't become 'Yoshe Asmarlde Potter', for various reasons (''see name'') and 2, don't change their personality, because then it becomes a replacement fic with your oc as the main character, and usually being a MarySue. I'd advise not doing GenderBender until you know your franchise like the back of your hand, including personalities for [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters ALL]] the characters, as nearly all characters will have to interact differently as that main character is now a GenderBender, and really, any series becomes LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters when doing this.

Another note is the type of story, if you have an RP in an abandoned world with monsters coming out at night to kill you, having an 8 year old is a bad idea. In comparison, some people give that 8 year old the mentality, endurance, aim, and overall attributes of a 20 year old. Just with the cuteness factor of being 8. Keep them realistic; your 8 year old isn’t a 18 year old. They don’t have the same social standing, endurance, or well, anything. An adult won’t take them seriously, and unless you’re aiming for that, it can look rather stupid If that situation pops up seriously. Another big Mary Sue note is intelligence. Your 6 year old oc isn’t a genius, she can’t read Quantum Physics books, let alone understand them, play 5 instruments, speak 6 languages fluently, be a master of [[HarryPotter Occulmency]], have mastered magic powers or anything like that. They’re 6, treat them as such. This can also apply, your character hasn’t mastered skills that logically take thrice as long to learn at 16.
Once again, also keep them at their age. I once read a bio of a 7 year old, really 1 –though, I don’t even want to know-, who had “Waist length black hair, dark brown skin, midnight blue eyes, rather tall, and pretty”…and she was 7. That’s creepy and no one wants to deal with that. Also, she was part cat, hated pink, and was a violent sadist with a crush on a [[Transformers robot.]] So yea, keep an eye out of that.

The same thing if your character is 16 or so, remember that. There is a difference on being immature and being a man-child.
