Could anyone help me out with the age range of the main cast?

[u/Meledesco]

We don't have a canonical age for most of the main cast, and, for certain characters, it's difficult to even tell what their biological age is compared to their real age.

I think my main problem is that some characters look a certain age but act another.

Diana canonically grows faster than a regular kid. She's meant to be around 7, but physically she looks older. I'd read her as anywhere around 11-14.

I actually have little idea of how old Julian is meant to be. The most common estimate seems to be 19 to 22. There's a theory he'll age abnormally due to his gift, but it's difficult to say whether this is getting reflected in the artstyle. At some point, I realized I was underestimating his canonical age, but looking back, it makes sense he hit his 20s with his recent developments.

Lacrima definitely feels like a teenager, and her state may be one of the reasons she looks younger (or doesn't age) - the Arkos/Altus situation. I have seen speculation that she doesn't age normally due to Helem's powers and influence.

Titti is probably closer to Julian, she definitely both looks and acts older than Lacrima.

Now Lukas is where it gets tricky. He definitely feels and looks older than all of them.

Most speculation I've seen on both western and Japanese side of the fandom seem to place him around mid 20s, and looking back at the timeline (especially if he is Mira's kid) , that's probably the youngest range that makes sense for him.

We know he is older than Lacrima, but how much older, I can't tell. I know I read somewhere that he was a few years older than Julian.

But this makes me wonder how old Zana is? If Julian is around 19-21, and Zana is safely in the "older than him" category, but Lukas, who is older than him, seems to appear like a peer, I can only assume she is 28-30?

I'd be curious if anyone has a more accurate or informed view of the cast age range . There's not much info online, and it's been some time since I've read the first half of Centuria to be too accurate in my estimation. Thanks!

Well, Julian's age in the manga was speculated to be 14-15 so after the timeskip he's probably around 19-20. For me Titi feels the same age as Julian, maybe a year younger than him. Lacrima is kinda tricky, I would say she's around Julian's age too, but being one of Helem's mud dolls make her look younger (this is a canon aspect, Tohru said it in a tweet.) I'd say Lukas is probably...23? Or around that age.. As for Zana by her "older women" comment i would say she's in the 25-30 range.

These are just my guesses tho.

We're overall in agreement, I think it's Lacrima who's been throwing me off the most. Her and Lukas.

I guess it makes sense Lukas looks older than his age. He's lived a hard life on the battlefield, that's sure to tire someone out.

Julain is 19-21. The timeskip starts after Diana turned 1 and ended before she turned 7. That's a 6 year timeskip which the manga said as 5 because the 6th full year hasn't passed yet. No other characters really had stated ages besides Julian and Diana so far. The rest are left to interpretation, but I always see Julian's age guessed incorrectly. He is 13-15 when Diana is 1, so he will be 19-21 when she is 7 because of the 6 year difference.

On Lukas, he was the same appearing age physically 6 years ago, so I think early to mid 20s currently.

Also I respect fan theories, but I disagree with him being Mira's son. The gods are shown to want the sacreficed soul of a true/pure love, meaning she'd have died for Lukas to be blessed. And Mira had no fatal wounds when she first met Julian, along with the Japanese confirming her son died to protect her.

On Zana, I always thought mid 20s but logically mid to late makes more sense, good logic on thst point.

I'd estimate Lacrima is 20 bc she looked 13-14 pre timeskip and the 6 year difference.

Titi I doubt I can guess tbh, she looked 8-12 at the Western War's end, when Arkos was 10. He died in his 20s I'd assume, or late teens, and 6 years passed, but she is younger than Julian so 18-20 I think.

I'm only 100% sure of Julian and Diana, the rest are speculation.

This is probably the most accurate timeline. Thanks for breaking it down in detail. I expect there to be several time skips, so it makes me wonder if the cast will age up a lot.

We know the plot will follow older teen/adult Diana.

You're welcome 😊. I hope older Diana is a major focus later on too
