A child just grew up. This child created some useless wooden craft as a child, and became a legendary woodcrafter. She's still a peasant in terms of her job. She's still teal. She is, however, blinking because she's legendary.

This smacks of a misplaced value in the code somewhere, but seems to be a rare combination of events.
I'm too lazy to search, so this goes up in an appropriate forum.

I get a similar thing there. Drafting and undrafting should reset the class or whatever.

Then I'll do it for you.

Bug #000670, Status: Open

I had this happen once in my last fortress - all of the others eventually became craftsdwarves.

My current fortress, on the other hand, has two legitimate legendary peasants, both from having attained legendary social skills. This is what happens when you turn off the economy and allow your dwarves to spend all their time partying.

Interesting... I had a child create a legendary artifact.  Time will tell whether it grows up to be a legendary peasant.

[CursedBurger]

I've had the same thing happen, but the peasant eventually turned into the right thing when they gained another skill level. I'm sure it's just that children always grow into Peasants, and jobs aren't checked until the job level changes or the person is drafted.

Simple to fix. Make the job change function get called when a Child grows into an Adult to check for such an instance.
Saw this happen in a game recently too. As soon as they get an experience level in anything (social skills count) the job will be set to whatever it's supposed to be as the job change function is run to reset their job according to their skill levels.
