would

Suppose I am talking about an imaginary girl about what she was doing in the past. So, can I say, she would have finished her bachelor's degree when she was twenty two'?

Is the use of would have correct, here?

Yes. But note that this way of saying it is not common. We'd commonly say eg She probably finished her .

Here, I am talking about an imaginary girl. I have never seen her; I have never heard about her. So, would that sentence be correct with this context. Because to me, the sentence, "she probably finished her..." sounds like I know her. Please clarify. Thank you.

I knew when I answered that she was imaginary.

I already said that your sentence was correct. I just offered you additional information.
