Timeline pt. 5

From Post Second Serpentine War to Season 5

Post Second Serpentine War - 4 months (October 11 - January 19)

My heart tells me to make this about a month, but Curseworld, Part 1 references the new year, so I guess I’m changing it to that :(.

Also this gives them time to have that run-in with Ronin that they reference.

I am basing the new year celebration on the Chinese New Year calendar from 2014, which is the timeline year that we are in, so it would be January 31.

Season 5: Possession - 2 weeks (January 20 - February 1)

Timeline pt. 0

This is more like a prequel/a place to put random important timeline information. This will be updated as information is discovered.

Random Worldbuilding:

School is on a 3 months on 1 month off schedule: Jan-Mar, May-Jul, Sep-Nov.

The start of the timeline (the Pilot episodes) begins in 2011, since that is when Ninjago first aired.

January is in the dry season, as mentioned by Ronin in Season 5.

All of Zane's ages are based on his appearance only! Since he is a robot, he will appear the same age until he gets upgrades.

I’m debating changing Lloyd’s birthday because Misako mentions something about a gift for him. Jay’s dad mentions Jay's birthday too, but because he is an inventor he could plausibly be working on it for longer than Misako was in possession of her gift.

Birthdays

This is literally just my take on the birthdates of the ninja. It is not inspired by anything other than the vibes I think they give off.

(The Ninja are listed youngest to oldest)

Lloyd: July 21. I know he is aged up, but he is still technically the youngest. I feel like he would be that one kid in class that has his birthday in the middle of the summer and no one can come to his party because everyone is away on vacation.

Nya: March 14. Spring seems right for her.

Jay: May 19. He also feels like spring, but the springs that's just about to turn into summer, when the days are getting hotter and there's less rain.

Kai: September 14. He gives off 'Fall leaves and campfire' vibes.

Cole: August 7. He definitely makes me think he was a late summer baby.

Zane: April 26. I think that this would be the date that Dr. Julien completed him. He might not age at all but I think the ninja would still celebrate his 'birthday' anyways.

Again, these are just ideas. If anyone has dates or suggestions that have more meaning behind them, I'd be more than willing to change some things.
