In the episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale” where Sydney Sweeney appeared, she was actually 20 years old, but her character, Eden Blaine (nee Spencer), was portrayed as being only 15 years old.

In Season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale, Eden Spencer was a frequently appearing character. Her background shows that she grew up as a devout follower on a farm close to Westminster, Massachusetts.

Eventually, Eden was chosen as a child bride for Nick Blaine during a large wedding ceremony called Prayavaganza, led by Commander Andrew Pryce. But later on, Nick confided in June Osbourne that he had married Eden only because it wasn’t his decision to make.
