character ages

penelope is....... 18

her birthday is literally the only one we know in all of fantasy high.

it's may 15th. she died on her eighteenth birthday and will remain that age forever.

aelwyn is 19, however! nearly 20. she had her 19th birthday early on in her time at apochow and she's been here a full year and will probably have a moment where she goes to invite people to her party and realizes all her friends are gone

faith is 20. i don't have a headcanon birthday for her but i prefer to think that she had her 18th birthday a few days after her watcher died, which makes her like... a couple months older than buffy.

so it's probably around august

chara recently turned 12! they don't know how old they are though

i honestly normally headcanon them as older than 11. like, around 13-14, but i didn't want them to be too much older than frisk so i aged them down to the lowest i can go before my suspension of disbelief is gone

they give 11 as a rough and ultimately arbitrary estimate and will probably upgrade to saying that they're 12 once they have accepted that they can maybe grow older in this world

Oh. I didn’t realize prom went down on Penelope’s birthday. Wow.

YEP

THATS ONE HORRIBLE DETAIL THAT I ONLY CAUGHT ON LIKE THE THIRD WATCH

on the one hand it is so funny because you can clearly tell who goldenhoard's favorite is since he set a school event and the day of his most important ritual that would free him forever specifically on her birthday

on the other hand, she sure did get gutted on her birthday
