yisetab28 89 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 (edited) Huh, good point, I had forgotten about the cake. Did you count 23? That makes perfect sense as to her age. From my estimates, the number of candles could be anywhere from 21 (what we see here) to 32 (if we take that the candles on the edges are the last one we see here, and there are still others on the back side). The numbers I've heard were mostly 23, so I took that answer. but then I heard that the number of candles was confirmed not to mean anything They really want to break our canon evidences don't they... Even then, RD is probably not a teenager as she's a part time weather pony, and even thought she's sometimes acting childish, that job does require discipline and responsibility. She probably isn't over 35 either as she competed in a continent wide equivalent of the Olympic games and is an amateur flyer and possible Wonderbolt trainee, which requires a lot of energy that a 35-40 year old probably wouldn't have. That would center her age between 19-20 and 30 years old. Edited June 5, 2015 by MCAsomm 2 DRAW PONIES AND WRITE FANFICS FOR MOTHERLAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daring_Do 552 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 (edited) Hey, to be fair, the candle thing I heard could've just been hearsay Like the disabled Scootaloo thing, which the MLP Wiki still states even though their "source" is a YouTube video where a guy says "I was part of Lauren Faust's security detail and she gave me an exclusive interview but I wasn't allowed to record it so you have to take my word for it". And there being a quote on Faust's DeviantArt which outright answers the question of Scootaloo by saying "No reason. She just hasn't figured it out yet."

MAIKUN 262 June 5, 2015 Author Share June 5, 2015 Why not? Anyway I do find Spike older than the CMC and he's still considered a baby to the mane six. Maybe the CMC will grow up during the course of the show. I mean Applejack was getting all weepy when she felt her sister was growing up when she was preparing her for the Grand Galloping Gala. It's possible that a certain age must be reached before going to the GGG. That's NOT the point cider float! The CMC won't grow up during the course of the show because a cartoon character will always be ageless. I mean look at the CMC, they're eight years old!

manic 121 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 Also wrong. Go check the official staff twitter like the other guy. It may not be canon to you, but it's canon to the show. Even if tha'ts the case, only twilight went through, and we don't know the mechanics of going through. How exactly does pony age equate to human(?) age in EG? Are they even HUMAN? I mean, blue, green people? Does she just look young enough to pass for high school age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisetab28 89 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 (edited) Go look on twitter. Someone showed a thread about it months and months ago. Yes, I will spend six hours of my life trying to find the staff post posthaste and bring it to you. Sorry, don't have that kind of time. You two don't need to believe it. If you feel like it go search for yourselves. Then you better bring it up instead of saying "somebody mentioned it" Nothing at all shows that the EQG world is even a little bit linked to the show. The two universes seem to have absolutely no link between each other. They do have the same characters, but humans, more girly, more Mary Sue, &c. &c. &c. Hell, even my fanfic alternate timeline has more links to the show than EQG.

cider float 2,538 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 Equestria Girls is not relevant to their ages in Equestria though. If the ages were aligned from Equestria to EG universe than Celestia wouldn't be alive, because I doubt a human body can stay alive for over 75-120 years let alone over 1000 years.

yisetab28 89 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 He's probably referring to this statement from Meghan. Even then nothing proves that the ages are the same for the mane 6 and humane 6. It's canon in the sense that it happened i can agree with that, but even Hasbro never mentioned that the mane 6 were actually teenagers. If they were, I find it hard that teenagers are already managing farms and have a full time job making clothes at a fashion boutique they own themselves. 1 DRAW PONIES AND WRITE FANFICS FOR MOTHERLAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was said somewhere that the Mane 6 are considered young adults; or at least the pony equivalent to that. If I can find that I'll share it, but I can't see them as teens. The portal itself is a conundrum in how it affects things randomly that the age question in only another addition to it.

Empty Room 512 June 6, 2015 Share June 6, 2015 (edited) I'd imagine that the mane six are in their late teens to mid-20s, considering that some of them have jobs (Rarity, Pinkie and Applejack). As for the CMCs, they are likely in between 6-11, as they attend school. The members of royalty (Shining Armour, Cadence) are possibly in their late 20s to late 30s, as they have probably been reigning in their positions for a long time. Mayor Mare's age is disputable, as she is revealed to dye her hair grey, from a naturally pink colour; she is likely doing this to make her seem more professional and/or wise, but it's not entirely impossible that she's in her 40s.

superdogz1999 551 June 6, 2015 Share June 6, 2015 I can tell you that those three fillies are 13. Why? Two reasons. 1. In Bloom and Gloom Apple Bloom was getting depression due to a lack of Cutie Mark. 2. Their voices sound more mature. It is both to aging and their VAs going through Puberty.

UnknownFry 169 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 I would say they are in their early to mid twenties now. (23-26) Started off as in their late teens or early twenties (18-21) This assumes one season is equivelant to the passing of one year in their time, and Equestria Girls can be used as a basis for their ages for two reasons. One is the two sets of characters are separate individuals, and secondly the human world operates under a different set of rules than Equestria.

This here is debating we're supposed to do here, not "I'm always right and only listen to me". Button Mash is a fan made animation, so not cannon. Nothing prove that he is the same age as the CMC, and nothing proves they're ageless.

Daring_Do 552 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 I would agree to them being 8, as I think that's the target age for the show and as there's a bit of Word of Faust where she says Spike is 8 maturity-wise. ...But yeah, Button is fanmade stuff.

yisetab28 89 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 I would agree to them being 8 Well they seem to be able to write complete and sophisticated journal scoops, understand basic chemistry, magic and mechanics, stuff that would be a tad bit complicated for 8 years old, and more in reach for 11-12 years old.

Daring_Do 552 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 Hmm, you might be right about that. Could be part of the show's respect for the target audience's intelligence, maybe..? (That argument might not seem convincing to you, though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alto 437 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 (edited) they said equestria girls is canon so the mane 6 is prolly around 16-17 as for them having jobs the show gives no further higher education beyond miss cherilles class might aswell work if you have nothing else to do Edited June 7, 2015 by Alto What is broken can be reforged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost nothing is linked between them and the mane 6 except their names and personalities. Even then, few (if not none) girls in their mid teens own their own fashion boutique and create world renowned clothes, nor do they become the head of their family, and even less compete in olympic games and are prime recruits for their local aerobatics team.
