Historian estimate she was a literal child as well. Later writers invented the titillating stuff with the veils, whereas the original story was that Herod saw a little girl do a dance, thought it was cute and promised her anything she wanted (expecting her to not ask for much, since she's a child).
Her mother then made her ask for John the Baptist's head.
