Vague Age / Video Games

• Animal Crossing:
  • Your fellow villagers in are... mystifying, to say the least. They live on their own, so they're adults, right? But some of them mention still having allowance, and some of their birthday messages imply they're not yet adults. But there are no parents anywhere (and, in fact, the female kangaroo villagers have children of their own). The "Grumpy" and "Snooty" villagers act older than the others, with some of their dialogue implying they're probably at the youngest, in their early 30s. With the rest of the clan, it's anybody's guess. It gets even more confusing with the bear villagers as there are both full grown bears and cubs and they're treated as different species.
  • The protagonists are equally vague. You look like children but are implied to be adults (they live on their own, pay mortgages, and drink coffee), though at least one letter implies you're not an adult yet. New Leaf made the player characters more lanky and less Super-Deformed, but they still resemble children in some aspects (while also making them mayors of the town). Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U makes it even vaguer as they refer to Villager as a "young man" in his trophy. He doesn't have a voice so you can't tell his tone either.
  • It's hard to tell how old Sable is. It's implied she's of similar age to the (apparently) middle aged Tom Nook, but she doesn't seem that old. There is a ten year age gap between her and Mabel. Sable is vaguely anywhere from her early thirties to somewhere in her forties.
  • Timmy and Tommy appear younger than Tom Nook, but how young in relation to him is unclear. Despite being about as tall as Katie, one of the few canonical children, they're old enough to drink coffee and run several stores (including a supermarket) by themselves, as well as stay up during late hours with no problem.
• Master Mummy from ARMS has his age listed as "Unknown". Considering that he is an Egyptian mummy, it is safe to say that he is centuries older than the other fighters.
• Battle Princess Madelyn: In the game's opening cinema and promotional material, Madelyn is pretty clearly a kid or young teen. However, her sprite and portrait in the actual game suggest an older teen, if not a young adult. This may be a spoof on games from the 80s and early 90s, where consistency in character design wasn't exactly a top priority in a lot of titles.
• Coffee Talk:
  • Even when Baileys flat-out asks how old the barista is, the only answer they give is "old enough to open a coffee shop." And when Hyde, a vampire, asks them in Episode 2 if they will wait for him, even a century or two later, they just remark, "That is very perceptive of you, Mr. Hyde." Since they're a half-Earthling member of Neil/Silver and Amanda's alien race, their true age is muddied further.
  • Silver's citizen card in Episode 2 has his date of birth redacted, although being a former alien already makes his age nebulous. He physically looks like a young adult man in his human form, but his exact age in human years is unknown.
• Criminal Case: Gauthier Delacroix, chief of the Parisian Police Squad is the only main character aside from the Player Character who does not have his age stated. Judging by his looks, he is youger than the other police chiefs that the PC has worked under—most of whom are over 40 years old. His father—the High Commissioner—is 63-year-old, which could place Gauthier at anywhere between his late twenties to early forties. Fan guesses on his age range from 25 to 40. For what its worth, his dad's ex-girlfriend's son is 23.
• Cuphead: Both Cuphead and Mugman look rather young and live with their mentor, the Elder Kettle. And while the plot is kicked off by gambling, it's hard to tell if they're actually legal gambling age, or not, because it's unlikely that a casino run by the Devil would even care about that. According to writer Evan Skolnick, Cuphead and Mugman are adolescents,^note In case you didn't know, an adolescent is a teen that has hit puberty; in other words, they are teens: not children, but not yet adults. though the exact age is still unknown. However, in a Twitter response to a fan, StudioMDHR describes both of them as "kidults".
• Almost nothing is known about the Fairytale Detective, the hero of the Dark Parables, except that she's a woman. However, one bit of information allows for an educated estimate of her age. Thus far, the only attempt at a timeline for the series is confirmation that the third game takes place ten years before the seventh; it can be approximated, therefore, that the series has been happening for at least roughly fifteen years in-universe, which would put the detective at the time of the tenth game in at least her thirties. She could possibly even be older than that, depending on how old she was intended to be when the series began, but since she was already established as a professional detective in the first game she must have been an adult.
• Darkstalkers: Baby Bonnie Hood is the youngest of the playable characters, as she's seemingly human and young. However, her exact age isn't clear, given her height and the fact that she also smokes. It's suggested she's somewhere between 10-14, with 12 being the most likely answer.
• The characters in Death Stranding are clearly adults, but their ages aren't specified. Sam, the protagonist, can be anywhere from early thirties to early fifties. At one point, he talks with an NPC who looks to be about his age, but talks about the world before the apocalypse like he's much older than Sam. Sam's actor, Norman Reedus is in his early fifties, buc can convincingly pass for someone in his thirties. We know he used to be married ten years ago, so he must be at least thirty in the current timeline. Deadman, one of Sam's allies, is another odd case. He wasn't born, but instead created artificially, but we don't know the details of this process, like if he went through all the stages of growing up or was he created as an adult. We're not told who created him or when exactly, so he's even more of a mystery than Sam. There's even a chance that, despite looking much older than Sam, Deadman is actually ''younger'' than him!
• We don't know how old any of the three player characters in Detectives United are supposed to be. It's mentioned that Anna performed a ritual at some point to allow her to retain a youthful appearance indefinitely, so she probably falls into Older Than They Look. Agent Brown is invisible, so he has no appearance, although his voice would suggest a man in about his forties. James, who is most likely the youngest of the three, looks to be in probably his late twenties or early thirties.
• Even though the characters mature or grow up in later installments, the Devil May Cry series doesn't explicitly mention most of the cast's exact ages. However, this gets subverted in a few instances when we are given the number or the approximate range in a specific event, such as an interview with Hideaki Itsuno confirming Nero as a teenager during the events of Devil May Cry 4, or Patty Lowell having her eighteenth birthday by the events of Devil May Cry 5.
• Tiny Kong from the Donkey Kong franchise is Dixie's younger sister. Tiny hit a growth spurt and now seems to be a teenager, but Dixie is still treated like a Kid Hero. She should be an adult, but there hasn't been any sign of either her or her boyfriend Diddy aging. It's possible Tiny is in her early teens or Donkey Kong 64 Tiny was Older Than They Look.
• Don't Starve: The Super-Deformed art style makes it difficult to tell how old anyone is from their sprites alone if they don't have wrinkles or a beard. There are a few indications scattered around in character profiles and item descriptions, Word of God, and character dialogue; Wilson is in his early 30s, Willow is in her early 20s, Wolfgang is about 40, Wendy is 8-10, and Webber and Wurt are confirmed to be children but don't have specific ages.
• Of the protagonists of Dragon Age, only Hawke (of Dragon Age II), being a pre-defined character, has an established age (25 in the prologue and 32 at the conclusion). The Warden of Dragon Age: Origins can be any age between roughly 18 and 30, with the exact age never being stated, and the Inquisitor of Dragon Age: Inquisition is an "indeterminate age" between 20 and 40, and some players conceive of their characters as being outside of that range.
• In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, all children share the same basic character model, regardless of age or maturity, which can fluctuate greatly between them. The only indication of specific ages given are for the Really 700 Years Old vampire Babette (who was turned as a child over three centuries prior), and Aventus Aretino, who is 10 or 11 years old, going by an in-game letter.
• In Endless Ocean: Blue World, nobody's age is pinned down, but of note are Professor Sakurai, who is said by Oceana to be "too young" to have done all she's done; Oceana herself, who, at least in the NA version, has to be at least 15 since her father's accident is stated to have been 15 years ago, and is more likely to be 17 or so, as she was "very young" at the time rather than "not born" or "just a baby"; and the player character, who joins the diving service while taking a break from courses.
• Rydia in Final Fantasy IV. She's seven when she first joins the party, then gets taken into the Feymarch, which operates on Year Inside, Hour Outside, and returns distinctly older—but it isn't specified how long she spent in there. By the way she looks, it's been at least a decade. The sequel Final Fantasy IV: The After Years exacerbates this, since she lived in the Feymarch again during the 17 years between games and only gets kicked out at the start of her chapter, but the only change in her appearance is her outfit.
• Fire Emblem runs on this trope in general. The main protagonists will usually be given a specific age; for example, Lyn, Eliwood, and Hector from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade are 16-18. Apart from that though, all bets are off. You can get some clues from support conversations, but hardly anyone else has their age directly stated, at least in-game.
  • The children in the second generation in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. The "permanent" children have more certain ages because the time of their birth was established in the first half. The children from the player-chosen pairings are less so due to the malleable nature of when marriage occurs, which can introduce contraditions.^note Tailtiu and Azelle talk about their children, plural, but their son Arthur indicates that he is a few years older than their daughter Tine, which is difficult if the marriage was finalized in chapter 5. Plus, the fate of the parents is not always known. Not all of the child pairs are twins, and some (like Coirpre/Charlot) are treated as being much younger than the others.
  • The Branded and Laguz from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn age much slower than Beorcs (humans), with life spans ranging from a few centuries to a millennium depending on the specific tribe. Thus, they can be much Older Than They Look. For example, Micaiah looks like a teenager, but is also old enough to have looked after the now-teenaged Sothe as he grew up. It's later established that Micaiah was born prior to the Serenes Massacre, which gives her a minimum age of 23, while her inability to remember her origins gives her a maximum age of 27. Even the companion books, which reveal the approximate ages of all the party members, only state how old the Laguz characters would be in equivalent human years.
  • The time travelling future children in Fire Emblem: Awakening are never specified to be any particular age, other than "likely almost the same age as their parents" (due to Time Travel). We know Lucina is slightly older than most of the other children, as supports confirm she was born before them, and Laurent is physically three years older than her due to a time travel accident sending him back further into the past than the others, but other than that, nothing.
  • Kaze (and his twin brother Saizo) of Fire Emblem Fates is old enough to have been deployed as a guard when the Avatar/Corrin was kidnapped, but young enough to have been considered "a child" when it happened. The kidnapping itself was "over a decade ago" according to Azura, making a lot of the Nohrian and Hoshidan nobles' ages hard to figure out, even the Avatar themselves.
  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses allows you to check how old your party members are on any given day, with the exceptions of Byleth, Manuela, Seteth, and Flayn, whose ages are unrevealed. In the case of Byleth, it's only noted that they're barely older than their mostly teenage students, though doing the math with the information revealed in their father's diary indicates that they're roughly 21 or so. The Cindered Shadows DLC corroborates this when Rhea explains that Byleth's mother died giving childbirth approximately 20 years ago. Manuela deliberately conceals her age because she doesn't want to scare off potential suitors, but the 51-year-old Hanneman says that he's "barely 15 years (Manuela's) senior." As for Seteth and Flayn, they're actually immortal descendants of the Goddess herself, with both being at least a millennium old.
  • The age of the characters in Fire Emblem Engage never stated, but it's made clear that at the very least: Alear, Lumera, Zephia and Veyle are Really 700 Years Old but look younger due to being dragons; Anna and Jean are children; Vander, Saphir, and Lindon are old; and everyone else appear to be in their early-to-mid 20s, if not teens.^note There are internal ages listed for most of these characters in Engage's code, but it's unknown if these are canon in the final game.
• The Forest of Love: All the critters' ages are listed as either "Young Adult (20-29)", "Adult (30-39)", "Older Adult (40-49)", or "Elder (50+)".
• Genshin Impact:
  • In general, they have official birthdays, but not ages. You can't necessarily tell by looking at them, either, since Venti is Really 700 Years Old, and the same is true of Qiqi, who looks like a child but is actually an immortal jiangshi zombie, and we've only been given a somewhat vague timeframe for when that happened ("several hundred" years of being sealed in a crystal, and then an indeterminate amount of time between being unsealed and the Traveler meeting her).
  • Not even body type or animation set help that much. One of the most common body/animation sets in the launch game, the "young lady" set^note used by Lumine, Amber, Fischl, Xiangling, Sucrose, Noelle, Barbara, Mona, and Keqing features characters that run a whole spectrum of possible ages; they range from explicit Chuunibyou teenagers (Fischl) to characters of deliberately vague age for self-insertability (Lumine) to seemingly young adults who are still talented working professionals, albeit in the early days of their careers (Amber, Sucrose and Xiangling) and then all the way up to explicitly adult characters who are experts in their fields and even have major positions in governments (Keqing). It becomes incredibly difficult to put a number on these characters as a result — folks like Keqing and Sucrose feel like they should be adults from their backstories and character traits, but it's not hard to notice they're the same height as Fischl, who is explicitly a teenager.
• Golden Sun: The Lost Age:
  • Made a plot point with Piers. After visiting his homeland, where people age extremely slowly, the characters start asking Piers about his age. Piers refuses to answer, and gets upset when the others start pressing the issue. He worries on-screen that knowing his age would change how his new friends see him (and it's also possible he's just embarrassed about it). Fans consequently tend to assume he's significantly older than the rest of the cast, possibly bar Kraden.
  • None of the Proxians have stated ages, but Karst gets this the most due to being noticeably shorter than the others (though still about as tall as Felix) and having more humanlike features. In-universe, the only thing that is said about her age is that she's younger than Menardi. Fans have estimated her to be anywhere between 15 and 30. And that's assuming that they age at the same rate as normal humans, which also isn't clear.
• Of all the protagonists of the Grand Theft Auto series, Victor Vance, Tommy Vercetti, Toni Cipriani, Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, Luis Lopez, and Franklin Clinton all have their ages confirmed, with a few of these protagonists on the other hand....
  • Grand Theft Auto III: Since he was never originally looked at as a character of his own and only became one after his name was revealed in the second game following III, Claude is never given a confirmed age in the game. Most would say he is at least 18 during the events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but since he had to own the Doherty garage in San Fierro for about at least two years, that would mean he couldn't be any younger than 20, which would mean he would be in his early 30s and 29 at the youngest during the events of III.
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: CJ's age is never specifically stated, nor hinted at. One would assume he was at least 18 in order to travel to Liberty City on his own, although it isn't entirely impossible to run away from home as a teenager. Since the game allows the player to enter bars and strip clubs, CJ would have to be about 21 at the very youngest during the events of the storyline.
  • Grand Theft Auto V: The game flip flops on what year Michael was born, in either 1965 or 1968. However, it's possible that one of those years of birth is what he used as a fake birthdate in order to cover himself in part of Witness Protection.
    • Meanwhile, Trevor's age is never confirmed in the game, but it's likely that his year of birth is somewhere between 1965 and 1968 since the in-game lines mentions he's the same age as Michael.
• Vasco in GreedFall is the only companion to not have a confirmed age, but a "probable" one. Conversation with others reveals that he's younger than 25. Even the De Vespe family, who are notorious spies, only have a "probable" birth year for him.
• Zote of Hollow Knight is about the same size as the Knight, who is heavily implied to be a young child. However, he speaks with the voice of a grown adult. Most characters implied to be adults are at least taller than the Knight.
• The Jump Start franchise zig-zags this trope. Token humans Polly Sparks and Jo Hammet are clearly a third grader and a fifth grader respectively. The original incarnations of Mr. Hopsalot and Frankie were obviously an adult rabbit and an adult dog. On the flip side, the Funny Animals in the 2001-2004 games play this trope straight. They all appear childlike, and this incarnation of Hopsalot mentions in Advanced 2nd Grade that finding clues "gives [him] an excuse to stay up past [his] bedtime". However, no parents are seen or even mentioned and they all seem really self-sufficient. The 1990s version of JumpStart Preschool also plays this trope straight; the featured Funny Animals speak in childlike voices, but Casey Cat wears a necktie, so it is difficult to tell whether they are supposed to be the students or the teachers.
• Kirby: Kirby was described in the manual of Kirby's Dream Land to be a "little boy" but gave no age, and his age in games since then hasn't really been touched upon. He is generally implied to be young, regardless; Kirby Fighters 2 mentions in passing that he is unable to read. The anime, meanwhile, directly refers to him as a baby.
  • Making things even weirder, there is the heavily implied thousand-year time skip between Kirby & the Amazing Mirror and Kirby: Triple Deluxe, after which none of the notable characters seem to have aged. It would be one thing if this merely included Kirby, who is an alien. However, Adeline is also unaffected despite supposedly being human.
• The mascot of Kogama appears to be a young boy, helped by the fact that his name is Blockboy. However, his age was not confirmed. He has a Super-Deformed appearance (although some of the other characters with his body shape appear to be significantly older), so he looks to be in between the ages of 8-19.
• The Last of Us: The only character whose age is stated outright is Ellie, who's 14. Henry's age is indirectly confirmed to be 25 (he said he was five when the Cordyceps outbreak happened, which was twenty years ago.) while Sarah, Sam and Riley are said to be twelve, thirteen and sixteen respectively in supplemental material. Joel's exact age was unknown for a long time, until his I.D. in the PS5 Part I port confirmed him to be 51 in the Summer and 52 in the Fall, Winter and Spring^note He was born September 26, 1981. The main campaign is set between the summer of 2033 and the spring of 2034. Tess' I.D. confirms her to be 51 as well, but her character model looks far younger. Marlene's age is given as "mid-40s" on her wanted poster in Part I. Bill and David seem to be around Joel's age. Tommy is the most unclear. He's Joel's younger brother, but how much younger he is than Joel isn't clear. In the prologue, he's an adult, but is single and childless while Joel has a child and was married for a while. Joel is 32 at the time, it's possible that Tommy is only in his early twenties. Tommy also hasn't aged as much as Joel has during the Time Skip and Joel talks about how he "took care" of Tommy (while he's specifically referring to the years of the outbreak, it's possible that Joel raised Tommy for a bit), so they could be a decade apart in age. Tommy's wife Maria also looks much younger than him, but it's not known how far apart they are.
• It says something that Link's age alone in The Legend of Zelda has spanned a large Flame War among fans:
  • Early in his series, Link's age was indeterminate, and his sprite had too little detail to tell. In-manual art drew him like Peter Pan with more hair, making it more unclear how old he actually was. The exception is in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, where he is explicitly 16 years old (he's also the Link from the first game a few years later). Most of the later console games give him a more explicit age, but the handheld games are still vague. It wasn't until much later when Link in The Legend of Zelda was confirmed to be 12 years old from the same source that stated that Ocarina of Time Link was 9 years old as a child (however the original Link has also been referred to as 10).
  • Link in A Link to the Past may be implied to be a prepubescent kid, not only by the AV Famicom commercial (which oddly promotes the cartridge port of The Legend of Zelda), but also by the GBA port of the game, where he is given young N64 Link's voice. This Link design also uses a "young Link" voice in A Link to the Past and in the Link's Awakening remake. His design, however, is more reminiscent of a teen in his early teens according to official art. The similarly aged Marin and Zelda are also depicted as looking teenage.
  • In The Wind Waker Link's age is never mentioned in the game itself, but while the official strategy guide pins him at twelve, the game itself states that Link starts his quest at the same age as Link from Ocarina of Time (9 as a child, 16 as an adult). The games that follow The Wind Waker, namely Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, both made Link look rather young because of his chibi model.
  • His age isn't stated, but is generally assumed to be between 9 and 16 in Majora's Mask, as he is younger than the 16-year-old model but it is stated to have been a while since the events of Ocarina of Time, at the end of which he stayed 9.
  • Twilight Princess supplemental material confirms his age there as 17. He's the same age in Skyward Sword, though Miyamoto had suggested during development that he would be even older.
  • Link's age in Ocarina of Time is even this. Official sources have called young Link both 9 and 12. This would make his adult form either 16 or 18. The Ocarina of Time Link amiibo says he is 17. The in-game debug refers to young Link as 5 while his adult version is 17, which isn't accurate to the game as that's a 12-year difference (implying in development the timeskip was larger).
  • Zelda herself is an oddity. Her age is never given but she rarely, if ever, seems too different in age than Link. Twilight Princess Zelda is the lone exception - supplemental material confirms her to be 20, fitting with her appearing older and taller than Link. This has not stopped fans from debating her age, however.
  • Link and Zelda traditionally look the same age but Link in A Link Between Worlds and Zelda seem to have an age gap. Zelda looks like she's in her teens but the Puni Plush style could be at fault. Link looks and sounds like he's under 13, but his official art muddles his age by making him look like a teenager. The fact that their darker counterpart's Hilda and Ravio seem more similarly aged despite Ravio sharing a slightly modified version of Link's model makes things even vaguer.
  • Link in Breath of the Wild is vague due to his androgynous looks and his babyface. He is described as not yet an adult, and he is too young to drink alcohol, but is also stated to at least be seventeen as he was able to climb Mount Lanayru, which in-universe is barred to anyone under seventeen. Not helping matters is the fact that that pod Link wakes up in? He was asleep in it for 100 years to recover from near fatal wounds. Link can bring this up at a bar, but no one believes it, leading to the above.
• Live A Live Pogo, the protagonist of the Prehistoric chapter, is a big example. He's one of the shortest heroes, only taller than Cube, who is a small Robot Buddy, and his love interest, Beru, basicaly towers over him. His backstory establishes him as having just become of age and going on his first hunt, which is not really clear what it involves, considering they are cavemen. The artwork of the original game made him look like an extreme Gonk, which made it even harder to know, while the remake makes him look like a young boy and gives him a case of Cross-Dressing Voices. The fact that in the golden ending he ends up having a child with his Love Interest just muddles things even further.
• MapleStory allows your character to marry (For NX, of course), even if they look like they're not even close to maturity. Some of the quest givers give off the impression of being young (e.g. a student attending a magic school), but appear to be just as tall as your character and don't have a clear age either. In one questline, you begin by playing hide and seek with children. A few levels later, you're fighting in a revolution.
• Samus Aran in the Metroid series. It is unclear what her exact age is as no Nintendo source has ever given a precise number. The Metroid (Manga) claims she was 3 years old when orphaned and completed her training with the Chozo when she was 14, but those are the only times a proper age has ever been mentioned for her, not to mention the manga's canonicity seems to fluctuate frequently. The amount of time that passes between games, as well as other off-screen Time Skips that occur is also a point of contention. One source, the Metroid Prime Trilogy artbook, claims 3 years pass between the first game and Metroid Prime but that same artbook also has a continuity error regarding Metroid Prime 3: Corruption which calls its reliability into question. The manual for Metroid Fusion says the game begins "after so many years" following Samus's extermination mission to SR388 without specifiying a number. All told, fans who have dug deep into as many official sources as possible and tried to reconcile the contradictions and missing information have concluded that by the time of Fusion, Samus is anywhere from her late 20s to early 30s, with an age range of 27-34 commonly given. Dread continues to muddy the waters as there is no indication in the game or elsewhere how long after Fusion its story takes place.
• The player in Minecraft. Steve/Alex is clearly an adult, or else they wouldn't be left alone or have a goatee (Pre-Beta Steve only, often thought of as a smile). In fact, it's also hard to estimate both's age range as well, given that everything in the game is pixelated. However, Alex looks fairly young. Steve may be too, but then again, their faces are pixelated, along with the rest of their bodies, meaning they are very hard to tell.
• Moshi Monsters: Lots of examples, due to the game's cartoony style. All the employed characters are adults, though the majority could be anywhere from their 20s to 50s, Simon Growl is bald but doesn't seem elderly, someone mentioned that he once had some grey hairs, but that could have been a lie and his "hair" is a sentient wig. Elder Furi and Dr Strangeglove went to university together and they're very old but how old exactly is unknown. Stacey Grace is a schoolgirl but her grade is unknown. Zack Binspin is called a "kid" by Blingo, but he lives alone, Mrs Snoodle has only just hatched out of her egg but her name implies that she's married, Auntie Wobbleson is old enough to be the aunt of an adult but she doesn't seem elderly. Lila Tweet and Pete Slurp are implied to be in school, but is that elementary school? Middle school? High school?
• A rather creepy example in Mother 3, as nobody knows how old Porky Minch is, not even the character in question. 1,000 years old? 10,000 years old? How long have they been traveling through time?
• Neopets:
  • Adee walks around on her own, so she's probably an adult, but her exact age is unknown.
  • King Altador, the Darkest Faerie, and Queen Fyora are more than a thousand years old despite appearances, and were adults a thousand years ago. Marina and the Tooth Faerie are said to be the youngest faeries, but still very old.
  • The player Neopets. They appear to be adults and can get jobs, but there's a Random Event where they lose teeth, and when a Draik is hatched from an egg, it still looks like an adult. There are Baby pets, but this is merely one of the available pet "colors" and thus seems purely aesthetic, as they are still capable of nearly everything that other pets are, from getting jobs to fighting in the Battledome - the only exception being that they, like Mutant pets, have unusual body types and thus can't wear normal clothing.
• The CPUs in Neptunia are immortal goddesses, throwing any relevance of their exact age out the window to start with, but there's still the question of how old Rom and Ram are intended to be. On one hand, they look about 10-12, can go out on Lowee's streets unsupervised, and have basic reading ability fitting that age. On the other, Rom still prefers to have picture books read to her and can't walk to the bathroom alone at night, and Ram boasts about being above such things.
• Night Trap: A lot of characters do not have canon ages, although actress Dana Plato was not yet 23 when she played SCAT member Kelly Medd, who is pretty old enough to investigate the Martins' winery estate, though the other members call her a kid in the intro for the cancelled Control-Vision version (which is added for the 25th Anniversary Edition). Though there are four other adult actresses playing the roles of teenage girls, the actor playing the "kid brother" Danny (Joshua Godard) kinda looks like an adolescent boy. This is lampshaded by Tyler Hogle of Screaming Villains in an interview, when he says that he doesn't know Danny's age, but that people can interpret one of the deleted Game Over scenes as "a 12- or 13-year-old getting a drill in his neck".
• Overwatch:
  • Among the playable characters, Soldier: 76 is the only one whose age is unknown. Fans usually put him at 55 because of a comment from Word of Saint Paul, and narration for the "Junkenstein's Revenge" in-game event mentions that he's about two decades older than McCree and Hanzo, who are 37 and 38, respectively.
  • Reaper's age also used to be unknown, but promotional material eventually revealed he was 50 in an event that takes place 8 years in the past, making him 58 in the game's present day.
• Characters from Parappa The Rapper. For example, Parappa himself is old enough to drive a car and join the military but not old enough to work.
• Persona 5: Chihaya Mifune is definitely an adult, as unlocking her romance requires the protagonist to state he Likes Older Women. She also appears and acts younger than the other adult romance options, which combined with aspects of her backstory imply she may be a young adult at most.
• Pilgrim (RPG Maker): Master Alice and Nekaneminorpe look like young girls, but being residents of the Other World, their real age may be something completely different from human years. Further complicating this is the implication that Alice's current body isn't hers, but one she stole via Demonic Possession.
• Many in Pokémon, especially the protagonists:
  • For a very long while, the only protagonist with a confirmed age was Red, who's 11 in the first games according to the manual and presumably their remakes, presumably 14 in Pokémon Gold and Silver, Crystal, and their remakes, at the very least 19 by the time of his reappearance in Pokémon Black and White 2, and at the very least 21 by Pokémon Sun and Moon. According to the same manual, Blue is the same age as Red, and Leaf can be presumed to be the same age as well. Wes is stated to be around seventeen to eighteen, and Lucy Fleetfoot from Pokémon Trozei! is said to be just a bit older than him.
  • The Pokémon Black and White protagonists are stated to be 14 years old by Word of God during a fan meeting. The sequel protagonists are even worse, looking younger than Hilda and Hilbert but older than characters like Red or May.
  • Many people assume the player characters are around 10 thanks in part to the anime making Ash 10, but again, the only protagonists in the games with outright stated ages are older than that. Also, Michael is identified as "an unknown teen" in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, so he could be at least 13, yet he looks about the same as the characters from the main games (not to mention he's about a head shorter).
  • Thanks to the Virtual Paper Doll feature of Pokémon X and Y, the protags (who, by default, appear to be teenagers) can look older or younger depending on their clothing and hairstyles. On one extreme, "cute" outfits can make them look like the ten-year-olds everyone associates with Ash and Misty (Serena even getting some Misty-like outfit options), while on the other end of the scale, outfits from Snowbelle or Lumiose can make them look like early college students. Even more confusing is that your character has to bend down to talk to young children, but not all children.
  • Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire averts this with many characters, as the news you see on the PokéNav confirms ages for several characters (for example Wally is 10 and Professor Birch is 35). The protagonists' age is still mysteriously absent despite the news discussing them quite often. However, due to the unselected player character being indicated as 12, the player can be presumed to be 12 as well.
  • There is also a set of protagonists with a confirmed age, and in-game at that; the protagonists of Pokémon Sun and Moon, who are 11, just like Red was at the start of his journey. This is confirmed by Wicke asking you at one point if you are "around eleven", with both dialogue options basically amounting to "yes".
  • The Pokemon games never keep track of the ages of individual Pokemon, making it impossible to tell how old it is. Evolution is also not an indication of age, as they can evolve whenever the correct trigger is hit, and can easily prevent it from occurring. The closest thing to aging is that Baby Pokemon are incapable of breeding unless they evolve into a higher form and even that means little because only a select few Pokemon are considered "Baby Pokemon".
  • Many younger NPCs are this way. For example, Misty seems to be around Red's age judging from an early Gen 1 art of them together and adaptations portraying them as the same age, but Misty's post-timeskip design arguably looks older than Red.
  • The Alola games have Hapu and Gladion. Hapu's short height and proportions makes her look far younger than the protagonist, but trainers in Alola go on journeys at eleven and she has the vocabulary of someone at least eleven as well. Gladion is presumably 11-year old Lillie's older brother but their age gap isn't clarified. Lillie is slightly taller than Gladion and he's still a child, so the age difference isn't too large. Some fans even interpret them as Half-Identical Twins.
  • The protagonists of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Victor and Gloria, look older than the Alola protagonists but younger than the Unova or Kalos protagonists. Much like the Kalos protagonists mentioned above, the lack of a confirmed age combined with Virtual Paper Doll features means that certain clothes make them look older or younger.
  • Rei and Akari, the protagonists of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, look to be about the same age as Lucas and Dawn, their modern counterparts. Because Rei and Akari are stated to be 15, it can be presumed that Lucas and Dawn are as well.
  • The protagonists in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet seem to be in the younger side of the spectrum, but still is unclear how old are they, with their Virtual Paper Doll tendencies making them capable of looking between pre-teens and young teenagers. You'd think that being in an Academy of Adventure could give you a clue, but nope! Naranja/Uva Academy accepts students of all ages, from kids clearly on the single digits, all the way to the elderly and you'll often find yourself sharing the same class as people of very different ages.
• While Luke has his age confirmed in the series, there's no clear answer to how old Flora is in the Professor Layton games. The first game, where she's introduced, offers the only clue; her late father left explicit instructions that an heir to his Impossibly Cool Wealth was not to be sought until Flora was "out of childhood." All we know for sure is that she's older than Luke but still young enough to require a legal guardian. Most players estimate her to be between fourteen and seventeen.
• Punch-Out!!: The ages of Rick Bruiser and his brother Nick are listed as ??.
• Puyo Puyo:
  • Some characters do not have canon ages, but Witch has been given two different canon ages (13 in Sun and 15 in ~n respectively) and yet her appearance in Madou Monogatari ARS would indicate she is much older, closer to 180. Her grandmother Wish's official age is 65, but seeing as she is much older than she looks and anti-aging magic is present in the series it's not implausible to think she could also be much older.
  • Lemres and Ms. Accord from the Fever series both canonically use anti-aging magic to remain young and dialogue referring to their ages is deliberately vague as to what that age actually is, making it hard to ascertain their true ages. Lemres is described as a senior in school but it is also implied he and Accord are old friends, while Accord is a middle school teacher.
• Maxwell from Scribblenauts is never given an age, though Scribblenauts Unlimited establishes he's still a kid.
• Sonic the Hedgehog:
  • No one knows how old Doctor Eggman really is; the only clue is that his birth predates the deaths of Maria (his cousin) and Gerald (his grandfather), which means Eggman is at least fifty years old.
  • Prior to Sonic Frontiers's release, Sonic and his friends had defined ages with Sonic at 15, Knuckles at 16, Amy at 12 and Tails at 8. Now, they are with this trope with Tails still the youngest and Sonic, Knuckles and Amy at or around their initially stated ages.
  • In the early era of the Sonic, Tails's age fluctuated constantly, seemingly changing with each new release (particularly with voice-acted works, where Tails's age was set based on how young his VA made him sound). His age varied from as young as four to as old as 12. As mentioned above, Sega eventually seemed to settle on eight-years-old as his "canon" age, though even then they have now started to move away from specifying the exact age of any of the characters.
  • Vanilla the Rabbit is old enough to have a 6-year-old daughter, and the 20-year-old Vector has a crush on her, but her exact age is unknown.
• Splatoon:
  • The playable Inkling/Octolings are stated by the developers to be at least fourteen, which is the age by which most members of these species achieve their humanoid forms and Voluntary Shapeshifting abilities. However, the English localization for Splatoon 2 briefly confused matters in regards to Agent 4, with an oddly-worded piece of dialogue implying that they might be eighteen.
  • Callie and Marie look older than the playable Inklings in the first game, but their age isn't specified. It's implied that they're old enough to drive, with supplemental material putting them in their older teens (17 at the youngest, during that first entry).
  • Averted by Off the Hook, who are the only characters in the entire series to have their exact ages confirmed. During the events of Splatoon 2, Pearl is 21 and Marina is 18.
• Spyro the Dragon: Spyro is a Kid Hero but his age is never specified. According to Spyro: Year of the Dragon, dragon eggs hatch once every twelve years, so he could be twelve.
• The cast of Story of Seasons games tend to be this:
  • One of the few games where all of the characters have defined ages is the "Forget-Me-Not Valley" series of games (A(nother) Wonderful Life, DS (Cute)), where the manual gives the characters' ages. This can be especially confusing given that there are certain characters who state that they're older than the protagonist, especially when they're romanced, but who look exactly the same as everyone else due to the cutesy art style. A prime example is Muffy, who is in her early thirties but looks as young as the twenty-somethings. Celia and Nami look like they're in their early twenties as well, despite being in their late twenties; Celia is so youthful that it's even noted in-universe that she ages well.
  • Luna in Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility is so short she resembles the other children on the island, but is of marriageable age. This naturally caused a bit of Squick, so in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, she got a height boost. She's still on the younger side, especially in the way she dresses, but how much so still isn't clear.
  • Calvin from Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility and Harvest Moon: Animal Parade is an especially confusing case. When romanced, he alludes to there being an age difference between him and the protagonist. However, his character profile explicitly refers to him as a young man. Either the protagonist is really, really young, or she's older than she looks.
  • Soseki from Harvest Moon: A New Beginning is another odd case. He also alludes to being decently older than the protagonist. However, most of the other Silver Fox bachelors in the series had Animation Anatomy Aging to indicate them being older—Soseki doesn't. This leads to the common fan theory that he's not that old at all, but he's extremely self-conscious about it. It wouldn't be out of character.
  • Ann from Harvest Moon 64 and other future games looks like a teenager but can be married.
  • All of the bachelorettes from Harvest Moon 64 count. The Japanese Famitsu strategy guide to the game gives the ages of everyone but the bachelorettes and the protagonist.
  • Nina from Harvest Moon looks absurdly young in the official art and has a more childish persona than even the neighborhood kids, but apparently is an adult. Harvest Moon: Magical Melody remedies this by making her look like someone who is at least eighteen, despite the chibi art style, and the English translation removing her use of her name as a pronoun.
  • This is averted with Harvest Moon: Save The Homeland. All the major characters have known ages. For example, Toy (the protagonist) is twenty-one while the Older Than They Look Katie is sixteen.
  • Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness has Pierre. He outright looks like a ten year old but is apparently of marriageable age.
  • Both Fritz and Mistel from Story of Seasons (2014) look quite young but can still be married and aren't treated like kids.
  • Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, unlike the game it was remade from, doesn't specify any of the ages of the bachelors or bachelorettes. The manual included with the game only says that they're around your age and implies that Molly is old enough to be worried about not getting married—and Lumina is old enough to be married, even if she's one of the youngest.
• Style Savvy: The characters' ages are not revealed in the series. The customers look like they are in their early teens to their late thirties, but not been confirmed by the publishers.
• Street Fighter, an odd case directly tied with the franchise growing to be tremendously popular, and so Capcom applied Comic-Book Time after II to ensure the series' potential longevity onwards. In the original II release the characters all had clear cut birthdates in their bios, and the game was meant to be set in 1991, as such using Ryu -born in 1964- and Chun-Li -born in 1968- for reference were 27 and 23 years old respectively back then; however, it didn't take long for Capcom to start omitting birthdates for newer characters in following revisions, as soon as the Alpha series debuted Capcom began to state birthdates as 19XX. III was, for a while before 6 came out, the last game in the series chronologically, first released in 1997 it was still assumed to be set in the year of its release, thus Ryu and Chun-Li would be 33 and 29 years old respectively, anyone else introduced, however, were all left up for people to wonder based on their appearance and social life. There was a 11 real-life years gap between the release of III and IV, in 2008, yet IV is chronologically set before III, by then a fleeting timeline was in full effect, Capcom no longer mentioned any dates whatsoever, IV had then-current technology and fashion despite being set before III, it clearly took no place in the real nineties but in a vague ”modern” time period; even Ryu and Chun-Li couldn't have their ages correctly pinpointed anymore since IV never mentions how many years it is set before "III", so they are anywhere below 33 and 29 but above 27 and 23. Eight years later V in 2016 was released, and the exact same situation from IV repeats itself, being set before III included, but shortly after IV. In 2023, a breakthrough happened, 6 is finally set after III but by then everything is as vague as it can possibly be, no one can say for certain how old anyone is supposed to be anymore, rough estimates are an option and fans often joke about Ryu and Chun-Li being 59 and 55 in 2023, but for decades at that point Capcom no longer dealt with official ages or dates for any character and setting.
• Subway Surfers has a soft, Puni Plush style and features the characters illegally jumping around dangerous train tracks in the middle of the day. It's hard to tell what age several characters are. They all sort of look like tweens, though some like Lucy and Tasha are designed a bit older looking and several female characters dress in midriff showing outfits.
• Super Mario Bros.:
  • Princess Peach. In the games (especially in her 3D appearances) she has a decidedly mature physique and is even taller than Luigi; however, in the western comics she acts more like a tomboyish tween, and her relationship with Mario seems to be one of childish infatuation, with the "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Writers Bible" calling her a seventeen-year-old (albeit this was never mentioned in the series proper and seems to have been made up by DiC Entertainment). Her original design in her first appearance resembled a child, so that is probably the cause of the discrepancy, and she was likely aged up for the second game to be a closer match to Mario as a result. Also, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Shadow Queen refers to her as a "child" (though the Shadow Queen is a 1000 year old demon and could be using "child" metaphorically).
  • This also applies to Mario, Luigi and Bowser. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time shows the three, plus Peach, as infants; yet in their adult years, Peach hasn't lost her youthful look. The Mario brothers are implied to still be in their twenties, and they're just a bit older than her.
  • Mario was confirmed as approximately 26 in his Japanese trophy description for Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Miyamoto confirmed in 2016 that he is about 24 or 25; either way, he is estimated to be in his mid-twenties. Luigi is his twin brother (but born after him) so he is the same age. Peach and Bowser still remain a mystery, but since Peach couldn't even walk as an infant in Partners in Time and Bowser could talk as an infant, which the baby Mario Bros. can and can't do, respectively, Peach is implied to be a year or so younger and Bowser a year or so older.
  • Yoshi. The official voice was introduced in Yoshi's Story for a group of Yoshi infants, yet in later games, the same voice is used for its grown form. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it gets even weirder as the Yoshi there apparently hatches out of the egg with vague knowledge of the world ("Is that one of those 'kiss' things? I've go to get me one of those!") and no name, but talks like a teenage punk and generally acts like an adult.
  • Kamek. He's presumably pretty old given how he was an adult back in the Yoshi's Island series (and is still around now), but how old? Who knows, he hasn't even changed design in the 20 odd year time skip. Only thing that ever changed for him was the colour of his robe and wizard hat (and by one shade of a blue at that). There is, however, the possibility that he is a Legacy Character, as he's pretty interchangeable with his Magikoopa kind (even sharing the same name in Japanese materials, which tend to not distinguish between alike individuals of a given species).
  • Rosalina. She looks to be in her 20s or maybe early thirties, but visits the Mushroom Kingdom every 100 years. She is implied to be immortal, but that doesn't explain why she physically appears younger in the optional flashback story.
  • Vivian from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She's stated to be the youngest of the Shadow Sirens, and acts like a teenage Shrinking Violet, however her elder sister must be at least over 1000 years old, as Beldam is recognized by the Shadow Queen who has been sealed for as long.
• Super Sized Family has no official ages for the characters, but there are some clues:
  • The player character is old enough to be the parent of a teen and some younger kids, meaning they're probably somewhere in their thirties or forties.
  • Torri is explicitly a teen, although her exact age is not mentioned.
  • Christian and Duncan are both older than the toddlers and probably not teens, although they could be anywhere between five and twelve, and it's hard to tell who's the oldest of the two or if they're twins.
  • Virginia and Sullivan are both somewhere between two and four, and again, they might be twins or one might be slightly older than the other.
  • Jessica and Jonathan are babies and each have one tooth and can sit up on their own, making them anywhere between six months and a year old. They're probably twins, but it's never stated.
• In Survivor: Fire, the only things we know about the ages of the characters is that Gran is elderly, Mom and Dad are adults and not elderly, Brother is about four at the absolute youngest and seventeen at the absolute oldest, and Sister is probably younger than Brother, but not a baby.
• Usually this isn't an issue with main characters in the Tales Series, but Judas's age is a problem. Leon was 16 when he died, and Judas still looks young, but considering he was revived at some undetermined point between the Eye of Atamoni incident and the present in Tales of Destiny 2, and he's treated like the old guy of the group, he could be anywhere from 16 to 34.
• The main mercenaries in Team Fortress 2 are all obviously adults, but most don't have concrete ages given:
  • Scout's age, at least, has been given as 26-27 in the supplemental comic, making him 23 in the main game's timeline (though he looks and acts anywhere between older teens to young adult).
  • Pyro's age—like almost everything about them—is shrouded in mystery.
  • Spy is old enough to have an adult son, though what little we see of his face puts him somewhere in middle age.
  • Sniper looks and sounds to be late-thirties to early-forties, though evidence suggests he's no older than ''twenty-eight'' during the events of the game.
  • The rest of the mercenaries are a mystery, though Scout seems to be the youngest of the group by far.
  • The Administrator is an odd case, as she looks to be a woman in her late fifties or early sixties. However, her experiments with Australium are implied to have extended her lifespan, and she has potentially been around for a century or more during the events of the game.
• Telling Lies: the central character, David, claims to be 28 for his cover story; however, some facts of his biography make it clear that he's older, probably a thirtysomething. The actor playing him, Logan Marshall-Green, was in his early forties at the time of filming.
• The questionable art skills of Touhou Project's creator ZUN have made the intended age of most characters unfathomable from their official portraits. Since Word of God stays extremely vague on the subject, this has left the fandom free rein on their age. Even more than the others, Orin and Patchouli (who wears baggy clothes) have fallen victims to this trope, alternating between cute girls and fully grown women, Depending on the Artist. Even limiting it to the humans, whose ages presumably matter more, it's extremely unclear how old Marisa and Reimu are supposed to be, with the range often being given as things like 10-20. And even if their precise age is given at one point, it's unclear if they're aging or not. If each change of the seasons indicates a year passing in-story, they'd be somewhere in their 20s by now. A justified example comes from Sakuya, who has Time Master powers. Though she's been described in-game as looking to be in her late teens or early twenties, she displays skills and knowledge far beyond someone of that age, and her boss Remilia has said that Sakuya's been serving her so long that it's hard to think of her as a human being anymore. Since one game shows her demonstrating the ability to accelerate an object's aging (making a bamboo flower bloom instantly rather than the 60 years it normally takes), it's generally assumed that she has the corresponding ability to decelerate aging as well, which would explain her appearance perfectly.
• Many characters from Undertale:
  • The protagonist is never given an age but is explicitly referred to as a child and their sprite makes them look quite small. This could mean they're anywhere between five and twelve years old.
  • Papyrus collects action figures, believes in Santa, wears an armor costume, sleeps in a racecar bed, dates the aforementioned protagonist if they choose to flirt with him, and is rather loud and eccentric. Yet he is very tall, has a job, is old enough to join the Royal Guard and keeps Sans in line and is elected as ruler of The Underground depending on who's available. Many fans just assume he's a teenager or a manchild. This is even lampshaded by Monster Kid if you talk to him after fighting Papyrus:
  Monster Kid: I wonder if that weird skeleton is an adult or a kid.
  • Muffet is described by her creator as "a lil' baby spider monster", but she looks to be way older than infancy, runs her own bake sale, and addresses the game's protagonist as "deary", a term of affection more often used towards younger people. This description was evidently meant to be figurative in reference to her cute design and not literal, so Muffet's real age is anyone's guess.
  • Monsters' ages in general are hard to pinpoint. While Toriel and Asgore do not age, it is unclear if/how monsters age and mature in accordance with humans. Many of them do act naive and childish, however.
    • The characters' ages may be hinted at by their handles on UnderNet. Papyrus, Undyne and Napstablook's usernames are CoolSkeleton95, StrongFish91 and NAPSTABLOOK22 respectively. If this is refering to their birthyear, that will place Papyrus around 15-24, Undyne around 19-28 and Napstablook 88-97 years old depending on what time of the year they were born and when the game takes place. The Fallen child arrives in the underground in the year 201X and the game takes place during an unspecified time period afterwards^note The year Frisk arrives in is referred to 201x, not 201X, implying that it's a different year, but within the same decade.
• The WarioWare series has Ashley in an odd example of this, as she's officially a teenager according to the English localizations of the games and given a somewhat deep voice to match, while (despite popular belief) her age isn't stated in Japan, where she sounds more like a child (but still vague enough that one could still reasonably assume that she's a young teen). Overall, her design is so vague that it's kind of hard to tell what age she is outside of "looks fairly young".
• World of Warcraft has an example that almost creates a Continuity Snarl: Despite being a major character Sylvanas Windrunner has never had her age or birthdate stated. We know that Elves live much longer than humans, but other than that it's pretty vague. There are some sources that suggest she was alive during the Troll Wars, which would make her at least 2800 years old or so. ^note  It's possible the references to her fighting trolls aren't acutally refering to the Troll Wars, but some smaller and more recent conflict, or at least have been retconned to refer to that However, Edge Of Night seems to contradict this, as she is said to be a promising hunter at only age 20, and while "promising hunter" is a long way from "Ranger General", it probably didn't take thousands of years. As such, she could be anywhere from late 20s to hundreds of years old.
• Xenoblade Chronicles:
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 1: On the one hand, almost every member of the main party has a confirmed age... which involves some surprises (from the forty year old Riku to the eighty-eight year old Melia). However, most non-party members don't have their ages stated explicitly. This leads to questions with the Mechon (who can live for thousands of years, and some of whom were alive the last time the Bionis was awake), as well as Dickson, the personal disciple of Zanza.
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 2:
    • Almost no one has their age hammered down to a precise number. Rex seems to be in his young to mid teens (stated to be 15 in some sources), though he looks far younger. Nia initially assumes Rex is much younger than her, then starts acting as if he's only a year or so younger, but all that is muddled by the fact that she's a Flesh-Eater Blade, so she could easily be far older or far younger than she looks.
    • Morag could be anywhere from twenty to thirty (all we know for sure is that she's more than ten years older than her cousin, who currently is just barely a teenager), while Zeke seems to be in his mid-twenties.
    • Blades, being Born as an Adult immortals, are pretty tricky to pin down with exact ages. Even if you dismiss the literal time they have been awakened in this incarnation as irrelevant, trying to match their maturity to their appearance is an exercise in frustration. Pyra and Mythra, in particular, could easily pass for being in their early twenties, but judging by the reactions of others they're supposed to be obviously in their late teens.
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Most characters have confirmed ages on the affinity chart, but there are a few unknowns:
    • Triton's age is simply listed as "???", because he's so old he's forgotten his age. The fact that he's a Moebius lengthens the potential age range considerably as well, meaning he could theoretically be multiple centuries old.
    • Riku and Manana don't appear on the affinity chart at all, meaning their ages are unknown. Manana could be pretty much anywhere from "older teens" into her 30s (or whatever the Nopon equivalent is). Riku is an even more extreme example, as he looks exactly the same in flashbacks to years earlier, and he and Melia appear to recognize each other, which would only be possible if Riku is older the the world itself. In the Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed DLC, Riku is traveling with a different main gang, despite the expansion taking place centuries before the main game. This could imply that he's Really 700 Years Old. Word of God clarified in an interview that Nopon are The Ageless in Aionios due to existing outside the Kevesi-Agnian conflict.
• Amareus of Yggdra Union is one of only a handful of characters in the game whose age is not explicitly stated somewhere or other. Instead, the official website gives the viewer a ballpark-estimate quote: She's "2? years old".
• Yume Nikki: Madotsuki's sprite doesn't indicate any kind of specific age, but she lives in an apartment alone. Various adaptations such as the manga and YUMENIKKI: -DREAM DIARY- tend to portray her as a young girl, but the canonicity of those adaptations are dubious.
