How old is Dusky?

In human years, Dusky is around 6 to 8 years old.

Explanation:

In canon years, Dusky is 2 years old. This is a bit problematic, as dragonets of this age have been treated inconsistently within the series.

Anemone was treated as an older child or young teen, while Mink was depicted as a young child. Dusky is similarly placed in the young child camp.

However, he is likely on the older range of "young child", considering that he was used as a child labourer on a construction site.

Therefore, anywhere from 6 to 8 years old is a plausible estimate.

Sorry, Anon, for the long wait in answering this post.

How old would be Cobra Lily in Wof years and in human years ?

A bit of a difficult one due to how heavily it relies on estimates, but I tried! Thanks for the ask as always! :)

Cobra Lily is around 6 years old in dragon years. In human years, she is around 17.

Explanation:

Cobra Lily has no stated age, references to her age surrounding another dragon, or convenient timeline events to give a point of reference. However, she is friends with the 6 year old Sundew, and acts like an older teen or young adult.

Since 6 dragon years equates to 17 human years, this lines up with her canon behaviour and treatment.

Again, take this one with a grain of salt, since Cobra Lily has no stated age in canon.

How old is Jambu?

Jambu is 21 years old in human years.

Explanation:

Jambu's canon age is 10 years old. There are two ways to calculate this, but they provide very similar results:

Count up from 7, which is equated to 18 years. This would make Jambu 21 years old.

Alternatively, you could simply add 10 years to approximate his age as exactly 20. However, the former option is preferable as it keeps the three year age difference between Jambu and his younger half-sister Glory the exact same.

It's only a one year difference between the two possible calculations for this one, so if you'll be using these numbers for something, run with whatever number works best in context.

How old is Mastermind?

Thank you for this ask, I've been wanting to do this one for a while but haven't had a good excuse since I haven't done all the protagonists yet! :D

Mastermind is at least 39 years old in human years.

Explanation:

Mastermind has no stated canon age. However, we can assume he was an adult when Starflight was born/hatched.

In canon years, it's a reasonable estimate to assume Mastermind is at least 18: 10 years for NightWing standards of adulthood, and 7 years for Starflight's age plus 1 additional year for the incubation period of a dragon egg.

However, if you convert this number to human years directly, Mastermind would only be 28, which is nowhere near old enough to have an 18 year old child. An entirely new calculation is needed.

Recalculating the above method with Starflight's converted age, and using 20 human years as our prerequisite for adulthood, Mastermind would be at least 39 years old, presumably older.

Just like with Morrowseer, this is a minimum estimate, and Mastermind could easily be older than this. Retrospectively, it also suggests that Morrowseer is likely older than 39 at minimum, since he is considerably taller than Mastermind. However, this cannot be considered certain.

awesome blog concept !

could I request how old wasp is?

Thank you, and yes you certainly can!

Wasp is at least 110 years old in human years.

Explanation:

On the Wings of Fire wiki, Wasp is listed as at least 100 years old. This is uncited, but lines up with the timeline where the Tree Wars take place and Wasp's stated age at that time. (Note: I think she was directly stated as already being at least 50 years old at that time, but I could be wrong.)

For ages over 10, an additional ten years can be added to make up for the childhood age loss. This would make Wasp 110 years old in human years.

Not really a conflict, but still interesting to note: By dragon standards, Wasp was old, yes, but not impossibly so. After the conversion, however, she is even older, which at the point of 100 years is very impressive. This doesn't really pose a problem when considering that dragons are mentioned to live slightly longer than humans, however (120 yrs).

Tangentially related but ages 115 years or older can be taken at face value when they occur due to this longevity.

Sorry if this was a bit underwhelming, I don't have a specialty in the Timeline side of things. It could be argued that having all characters change like humans could mess with the timeline of events that Wasp's age is impacted by, but that's a whole different can of worms. I usually only bring that into consideration when relative's ages are involved, and Wasp here is so old it would not make much of a difference.

Hi I really like this account - can you calculate perils age if thats alright

Thank you, and of course I can!

Peril is 19 years old in human years.

Explanation:

Peril's canon age is 8 years old as of Arc Two.

Since this is one year older than 7, which equates to 18, 8 can be presumed as converting to 19 in turn.

Based on her canon description, treatment and behaviour, this makes sense.

Therefore, Peril is the equivalent of 19 years old as of 5012 AS.

Conflict: Peril attends Jade Mountain Academy, which is assumed to be like a middle or high school school, despite being older than some of the staff members there.

Potential Solutions are a) She is not a student, but a staff member, b) she is a student but JMA is more of an open place of study than a middle/high school or c) just handwave or ignore it, it's not a big deal in some contexts.

Could you calculate Morrowseer's age?

Certainly! Thank you, Anon, for this request!

Morrowseer was at least 35 years old at death, presumably older.

Explanation:

On the Wings of Fire wiki, Morrowseer is listed as at least 20 years old at death. However, this is not cited.

Cross-referencing with the timeline, his earliest appearance, his size, etc., 20 (in dragon years) seems like an accurate minimum estimate. (In the canon timeline, he would have been a minimum of 10 years old when delivering the dragonet prophecy, which is what NightWings consider proper adulthood and old enough to visit the mainland.)

Adding ten years to make up for the childhood age loss, this would make Morrowseer a minimum of 30 years old in human years.

Cross-referencing this with Moonwatcher's calculated age, which is a maximum of 13 years old at his time of death, Morrowseer would have been as young as 17 when Moon was hatched. This does not make sense.

Adding an additional five years to buffer for Moon's increase in age, Morrowseer would be at least 35 years old. This would make him 22 at the youngest when Moon was hatched, which is still a bit of a low number. However, this is a minimum age, and Morrowseer could easily be in his 40s, 50s, or older.

Therefore, Morrowseer is at least 35 years old in human years, but ideally even older than that.

Edited for minor numerical error, not affecting overall results.
