How old are each of the main characters in lore?

[Kesey]

Actually he stopped aging completely (confirmed in question 2 here) and isn't really mortal any more. His white-tinged hair seems to be part of the crystallisation effect rather than from age.

Anyway, even though he's back to his younger mortal body, his mind is a lot older - 120ish now, give or take how much time he spent in the dark future timeline and exactly how many years ago he arrived in the First.

G'raha Tia gets the literal dream of knowing what you know now but in your younger body and he just puppy dog's the WOL instead. Wasted potential imo.

What do you mean, "instead"? That is what he wants.

IIRC we don't know how old Y'shtola is. We know she stopped aging at 23(ish) but we don't know how long ago that was.

"stopped"

They were just doing a "woman sensitive about her age" joke in the lorebook. Best not to take it literally.

In Heavensward, Y'shtola says she was around Alphinaud's age during the Sharlayan exodus 15 years ago making her roughly 31 years old.

Everyone else's actual age was given in the Encyclopedia.

I mean, he's primarily written by a woman, the way men tend to write female characters. I say turnabout's fair play, in this case.

So only females can write about females and males can only write about males? I'm not sure that's a fair assessment when other male characters like Thancred, Alphinaud, and Estinien are on point.

G'raha's a male character, but written to fit the "heroine" archetype. I'm saying he's along the same lines as, say, Matoi from Phantasy Star Online 2, down to not allowing responses like, "Down girl, please. I see you as a daughter." Our own Alisaie acts the same way, too, actually.

I do acknowledge there's some discomfort in being fawned on by someone you're not into, but there's nothing inherently wrong with his character type.

1. This.
2. G'raha's behavior is completely appropriate given the context of it. He's just gone through 100 years of pain, suffering, and the tormenting idea that the future he envisioned will happen *regardless* of what he does. And then here you come, a beacon of light (or darkness in this case) and rather than let him sacrifice himself to save you, you fight *with him*, you treat him as your equal, and you give him a future he could *never* have imagined. Now he gets to fight alongside you, safe and secure in the knowledge that whatever comes next won't be that horrible future he saw. If he wants to hang off my arm and give me puppy dog eyes and flick his ears at me, I'll let him. Heck, I'll encourage it - because he's happy.

But maybe that's just my WoL's personality bleeding into mine. She views G'raha similarly to how she viewed Haurchefant - gentle romanticism.

[Rannie]

Honestly G'raha is pretty tame compared to some guys in Animes that are fan boys... if he isn't getting nose bleeds around the WoL then it's nothing.
