Does the disability relate to size? Range of movement? Number of digits? Number of extremities? Is clothing relevant? Appearance? |

Relevant how many fingers she has? This allows(ish) her to avoid something...a specific form of social interaction? She doesn't like having her hand kissed? She doesn't get manicures? She doesn't have to play golf? Go bowling? Dancing? Play cat's cradle? Tie her own shoes/wear shoes with laces? Is etiquette relevant? Would the social ineteraction be with men? With women? Either? |

Is she just lacking digits? (as in amputated fingers, leaving behind stumps) Or are two melded together? Or is her hand composed of just those many digits? And so configured differently, like an ape's is? Similiar to an ape? |

Does it make it possible for her to make rude gestures whenever she likes which can be put down to her missing digits (so she can pretend she's not really making a rude gesture)? Really grasping at straws now... |

You said it's not an advantage for all her life after puberty. Does it cease to be an advantage at a certain age / stage of life? When she settles with a long term partner? If she gets pregnant? Menopause? Older? Does the social inteaction involve touch? Speech? |

Does her lack of a digit here and there enable her to get in and out of handcuffs easily? Thus she evades capture? |

YES!!!!!!! ********* SPOILER *************** Our heroine escaped police custody because her deformed hands slid easilty out of handcuffs. This comes from a talk I once heard by a disabled man who said he could do this |

Hehe. It doesn't take much to get out of handcuffs, does it? I have a thumb that's slightly smaller than the other and the joint is a little goofy (a result of California spraying for bugs when I was in the womb) and I can slip in and out of cuffs and those amusement park bracelets. It's easier than dislocating the thumb anyway.... |
