* Dragon Girl appears in the actual Lotus Sutra, and I am sure other texts as well.  This story is based on her appearance in the Lotus Sutra.
* This number is not intended to represent the actual age of Dragon Girl, although I do believe it is close.  The number is a deliberate reference to the ancient idea that 9 represented the perfect incompleteness of the universe, the not-yet-ten of the universe, acknowledging the perfect squareness of 9 before a form of completeness in 10.  The argument is that the world moves and changes, and, therefore, is never complete, which means, for humans, we can always change our karma, because we are never complete.
*Karma means action, your behavior, what you do.
