Everyone's Ages

The ages of our heroes! (These were quite fun to extrapolate.)

So, let's start with Sora.  He's 15 in KH2.  He's 16 by the end of AtP.  He won't be turning 17 until Book 3, if I get that far. 

Kairi: See above.  She's 16 at the end of AtP and won't be turning 17 until Book 3. (Yeah, I know, it's weird me talking about the next book with this one not even being finished written.  Technically, I have a vague plot for something after that, but I'm curbing Namine at all costs.)

Riku: He's 16 in KH2, making him 17 by the end of AtP and 18 in a potential Book 3. 

Namine:  Assuming that she's 14 in Chain of Memories and 15 in KH2 using that weird logic that she and Roxas aged because they had Somebodies during their existence.  That makes her 16 along with Kairi at the end of AtP and potentially 17 in that potentially next book.

Roxas: See above.  15 in KH2, 16 by the end of AtP and then 17 in B3.

Xion: Here's a fun one.  So, assume that she's 14 in Days, because that's how old Kairi was in Sora's memories when Xion took on that form.  Also, Sora/Roxas were kinda 14 at that time.  Then, she spends all of KH2 not really existing.  (Sorry, Xion.)  So, when Roxas uses his memories of her to bring her back, she's still pretty much that 14 year old self.  Assume she took on some characteristics of the Kairi that Roxas was getting input from giving her a small boost and you have a 15-year-old Xion by the end of AtP.  So, that makes her a year younger than everyone else.  (Well, Riku being the exception.)  And, you guessed it, she'll be 16 in B3.

Ven: Another fun one.  So, rar and I spent SO MUCH time trying to figure out Aqua/Terra/Ven's ages in BBS.  I finally came to the conclusion that for the purposes of my fic, Ven was 16 in BBS.  He doesn't age at all when he's sleeping in the Chamber of Waking (ironic, that statement is, yes.) So, he's still 16 at the end of AtP--the same age as Sora for those of you who are keeping close track.  Congrats Ven, you just shaved twelve years off your life somehow.

Aqua: Assume that she's 19 in BBS when she goes to take her Mark of Mastery.  (rar and I figured that you'd probably have to be at least 18 to take it back then, the prime age being early 20s, but Terra and Aqua were young prospects.)  Assume that time in the Realm of Darkness moves at a tenth of the pace as it does everywhere else.  That means Aqua gains a year and some change to her age.  That makes her 20 at the end of AtP.

 

Terra: Assume he's 19, too, when he takes the Mark of Mastery exam in BBS.  Then, assume that he didn't age at all when he was in Xemnas' heart because Xemnas was a Nobody without a Somebody.  Say Xehanort aged a good 2 years between the time he was around BEFORE he turned himself into a Heartless and then AFTER he reformed.  So, Terra's 21 by the end of AtP.

Axel: Yeah, I spent loads of time figuring this one out too.  Darn them not aging as Nobodies, but still have ridiculously long hair growth.  (Xigbar, Zexion, Saix, Axel).  Assume he's 17 in BBS when he meets Ven.  About the same age, but a bit older.  Say 5 years after BBS, he's turned into a Nobody at the ripe old age of 22.  By the time he gets himself reformed and starts aging again, he wouldn't be 23 until B3 most like.  (And I've just given him a really skewed concept of his own age, because he's been around for nearly 30 years by that point.)

Kuin: She's 9 in BBS, I have determined.  Thankfully, she hasn't been in or out of Nobody status, so that makes her an easy 21 at the end of AtP. 

Disclaimer: Betwixt and Between takes place over the course of several months (I think.  So far I've written about three weeks’ worth of information. (okay, that is disgusting, based on that… it’s taken me nearly a YEAR almost to write one more weeks’ worth of information…. That is…. That has to just be timey whimey.  Granted, the 7 months in Disney hardly counts because I hardly wrote…  MOVING ON)

This time span is not enough for anyone to have aged significantly, like the difference in ages between KH1 and KH2. 

And, that is all I have for you tonight my dearies :)
