How Old Are The Kids?

So if the time frame is like 7-9 years after S1, how old are the kids?
1. Willy is like 11 or 12 now, so he'd be a toddler when he was sent to Ericson, so how does he have his CHRONIC problem?
2. Violet was 11 when Clem was 8, so 7-9 years later would make Vi would be 18-20?
3. Clem was 13 in S3, so she would be 17-18?
4. Louis is probably around Violet's age.
5. Tenn is probably 12-13.
6. Ruby looks around 16.

Does anyone know exactly how many years it's been between S1 and S4?

  • I'd like to ask Kent about the ages on Tumblr. I don't know if this was an error that slipped through the cracks or if this is all confirmed.

    From oldest to youngest, I thought it was Louis (17), Clementine (16), Violet/Ruby (15 or 16), Tenn/Willy (12 +/- a year). And that's how I pictured it coming into this episode. Then Violet hits me with a cool right hook saying she was 11 before the outbreak and now everything I thought I knew is a lie.

    Seeing as Clementine was turning 9 just before the apocalypse, and violet says she was 11, as well as the fact Clementine was confirmed to be 16, it’s highly likely that Violet should be 18, soon to turn 19, if not then she has already turned 19 and will turn 20 in the next year. The frame between season 1 and 4 to my knowledge is somewhere around 7-8 years

  • I was wondering this too, because unless willy is like just a really short old person than how could he have gone to the school due to chronic masturbation?

    God bless everyone.

  • Louis looks older than Violet. I would say that Clem is 16, Vi is 16 while Louis and Mitch are 18/19.

  • Kent Mudle answered this in the Skybound/Telltale reddit AMA they did a couple months ago. It wasn't specific ages, but he separated the kids into groups like: young (<14), middle (15-16), and old (17-19).

    All I know is that Jame's 19-20 and Violet's 18-19. It'd be safe to assume that Marlon and Louis are the same age and are both 17-18. Mitch too. Brody, Aasim, Ruby, and Clementine are probably all the same age, which is 16-17. Tenn and Willy are probably close in age, which would be somewhere between 13-15. It's hard to tell how old Minerva is, though I guess she's just as old, if not older, as James. You know, on account of her being a freaking skyscraper and all.

  • Not possible technically since Violet said she 11 when she got sent there and if clem is 16 that Violet 18.

    God bless you.

  • It's very likely that Vi's age in the story could be just a mistake on the writer's part. Same with Willy.

  • If Willy were Violet or Louis' age, it'd make more sense

    Before this episode:

    Marlon, Louis, Brody, and Mitch are in their late teens, possibly even college age.
    Sophie and Minerva, as twins, would be in their mid to late teens given the latter's relationship with Violet.
    Aasim, Ruby, Omar, and possibly Violet are in their mid teens.
    Willy is 13 at the oldest, given his raspy voice and seniority over Tenn.
    Tenn is either literal in name or a little older, with his honky voice indicating he's on the cusp of puberty.
    Clementeen is 17--it's been roughly eight years since Season 1 and this has been mentioned by at least one developer.
    AJ is apparently 6 at best, given that he was born two years after Season 1.

    After this episode:

    James was confirmed to be 19-21 shortly before the episode's release, making him just a little older than most of the delinquents.
    Minnie either apparently nearly as old as Marlon or even James or has received a generous stipend from the Hormone Monster and/or her basic training. ...You know, by Telltale standards anyway.
    Willy's voice makes a surprisingly increased amount of sense.
    Violet is apparently 19+. Talk about a late bloomer.

  • You were also supposed to say ‘happy late birthday’. Why thank you.

  • I do wish Telltale understood how time works, seems to be a weird problem for them, kinda like how in ANF Joan says ANF has been control of Richmond for years when the game says its actually been a whole month.

    It doesnt really matter overall, but its just jarring when you start to look at how the ages look. Besides Willy having chronic masturbation problems at the age of 5, it also brings up the question of why a 5 year old was even sent to a boarding school. They wanted a more diverse age group obviously, but in terms of age and time gone by it really doesnt make much sense, but again it isnt something that completely kills the story, its just unrealistic.

  • Or in ANF when David said Marianna died days before Javi got to Richmond. But if you use your head for 5 seconds, you can remember that she died the day before Richmond. Ep1 and 2 take place under 48 hours

    I used to think AJ was 5, Clem was 16, Violet was 16 and Louis was 17 but at this point all i know is Violet's 19 or at the very least she's turning 19, Louis is probably around the same age as her, James is 20 and the rest I'm confused as fuck on.

  • When TT released the concept art for the kids, it would've been nice to put their ages

  • I always thought AJ was around Clem's age in S1, So Clem is around 19, Vi might be around 22, since she was sent to Ericsson at 11. Lou might be 19 too but I don't know. I think they're older than we think they are tbh.

  • Clem was confirmed to be 16. S4 takes place 7 years after S1 since Clem was 9. So Vi is 18. Not sure about the others though

    Not confirmed at all. The devs always throw out a different age between 15 and 17 everytime they get asked this.

    Her age is clearly not meant to be exact and canon.

  • I thought Kent mule said she was 16. But that would be weird since she 13 in ANF when AJ was just a toddler so who the hell knows

  • Again that's only one dev writer out of dozens and they all give different answers, and TT have been iffy about her age since ANF.
