It would be the ultimate insult to you if someone held back their punches or chose not to fight you just cause you were a girl. That was prime for a swift five-finger foot-long knuckle sandwich with a five-piece combo soon after. Luckily Yamcha never fell for those trappings, though he did fight you when you were thirteen. Back then you had yet to go through your first puberty just yet, making you rather stout and shrimpish. A real runt as they would say. As the former bandit once put it, he wasn't a lolicon so he could handle children just fine.
Most full-blooded Saiyans appear to grow in spurt phases, it was the trade-off for keeping in their peak health, performance, and appearance much longer. A Saiyan's lifespan is naturally longer than an average Earthling's (75 to 100 years, with longer exceptions), you could estimate it would be around 175 to 200, 300 if you push it to its utmost limits. A Saiyan, especially a pure-blooded one kept their childhood and adulthood forms much longer, allowing them to fight longer at their prime, peak performance as a warrior race Although, it varies depending on the environment as the more stressful the quicker the rapid growth. If you had to put a number to it, you'd probably show some gray hair by the time you were a hundred or more. Ki cultivation and all.
Either way, you've broken that barrier when you had your first spurt at the age of fourteen, thus hitting your current height. Sure things were rather awkward for you and Yamcha since he was your goto sparring partner, well outside say Chi-Chi. Seeing a well-built, full-figured teenager certainly caused some neurons to spark here and there, much to your confusion. In the end, the two of you powered through it and regained that tight bromance-like relationship. So why was it that now it bothered you? You weren't someone who was in the romance in the traditional sense. Unless it was the romance of adventure you didn't care about it in the slightest. Even Bulma the action girl and as some eloquently put it "girlboss" scientist wasn't immune to romance fancies found in teenage women.
Mulling it over with a sullen expression, you turn your head from Yamcha as you start to pout. "You seem to have no problem multitasking being a guy, a fighter, and an idiot simultaneously."
"Huh? Where's that coming from?" " Yamcha says, taken aback by the sudden coldness coming from you as you multitasked eating and proper conversation.
