A dwarf was digging out a magma channel under my thriving fortress , when he stumbled upon an adamantine vein. Praise the miners! Unfortunately, I was invaded shortly after.
Long story short, the only survivor except for a caged peahen is a Dwarven child who has been battling a Steam Demon and a Falcon Monster for weeks. She's become a legendary armor user, fighter, dodger and observer, but is unconscious, exhausted, winded, pale, hungry, dehydrated and very unhappy. She's also constantly throwing a tantrum.
Will she ever die, or do I have to abandon the fortress?

Best Answer
Yes, children can die from any method just like any other dwarf. You can't control children at all, but unless it a baby, which this doesn't seem to be, they will feed themselves and work farms. She'll mature if she lives to be thirteen years old, and migrants will still come, so this fort may have some hope!
