Her mother locked her in the attic when she was a little girl. How do you know she wasn’t in her late 20s/early 30s due to the time jump?

Keeper of FelixAge on this show is tricky when they have the same actress playing both their younger and their present day selves with little distinction between the two. In reality, Victoria Smurfit is 41 and was asked to play a 20 year old. When the ink spilled on her and she became the Cruella we know now, she looked more her actual real age and less the 20 year old we met. It could be magic, or it could just be the actress getting back into her wheelhouse, which is to say portraying her character in the way she did everyday, which is more in line with her own age.
Also, we don’t know how long it was between the ink spill and her going to the EF–mostly because we have no idea when that happened or even how that happened. Rumple seems to know Cruella but they’ve never met for the first time on screen thus far. Either he went to her, or she came over not long after the ink spill.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Perhaps Cruella sought out Rumple because she wanted him to help her undo what the author did?

Keeper of FelixI have to agree with POM. I don’t think they were trying to portray her as a 20 year old. IMHO, I think it was her naivety, in regards to the outside world, and her excitement of finally being free of that attic, is what they were going for.

I think they were trying to make it muddy, as it were. They need her to be different–to appear younger in demeanor I guess is a good way to put it–but not get caught up in the pesky timeline issues.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Agreed. I also think that the magic of the ink transformed her exterior to more aptly reflect her interior, which is of course, dark & evil.

I’d buy that. We’ve seen similar situations: ie, taking on the Dark’s One’s curse transforms not only the soul but also the outside to reflect what is now housed within.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Maybe the ink turns one into a caricature version of themselves.
Lord, keep it away from Snow and Charming then. They’re already pretty cartoony.
