Well, when were jeans invented? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JeansIt seems to me that jeans date from before the 1900s, but didn't become popular until the 1950s. So it's fair game - just unusual style for the time.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the 1900s clothing and stuff. I remember in The Subtle Knife of something Lyra was shocked when she saw women wearing trousers when she went into Will's world. I'll change my profile. xD

I came up with a power for Cecilia once she's "awakened". I figure that since she wasn't exposed to magic (avoided it,really.) after she didn't have powers during the time that they were supposed to emerge, it never really showed up until she was around magic. naturally,there were SOME indications but... heheh. Be afraid people,be VERY afraid.

Hair is usually messy. Usually wears odd combinations of clothing such as a blue striped terry cloth shirt over a 3/4 sleeve bright orange plaid button up shirt. Always wears a pair of old glacier hiking goggles, they usually sit on her forehead. Tallish and slender. Personality: Enthusiastic and likes to keep spirits up. Always has a smile on her face. She loves her job so she's always there early. Can be very jumpy sometimes. Dæmon Name: Noke (Noh-kay) Settled Form: Chipmunk Appearance: The cutest chipmunk anyone ever did see.

So far Noke hasn't exhibited vicious behaviors. He has strange very dark pearly green eyes. Personality: Always energetic, always running every which way and asking a million questions. He's a rodent with a mission, even if no one, not even him, is quite sure what that mission is.

Mie, I'm fairly certain this is set in past times. No hip huggers or hoodies.
