I tried looking for a topic on this in the search bar but I couldn't find anything on age of characters. This may not seem important but it is to me since I can't stop thinking about it ever since it first came to mind. Also I really don't have any real basis for these thoughts, these are all just guesses I am making for the most part just on how the characters are drawn. It's come to my attention that most of the characters I love, damn near 100% of them I have no idea how old they are. The only character I know the age of is Guts, the rest I can only make a guess on. It's been a long while since I read a Berserk chapter so I started rereading it this week and I'm catching a lot of things I missed before. So anyways about the ages....
I'm going to start off with the original main hawk members. We know Guts at this point is between 21-23 years old thanks to the flashbacks. Casca I'm not really too sure about her, she was a kid when Griffith found her and by then Griffith was already an established leader of his own band. I'd say she was anywhere between 10-12 when that noble attempted to assault her. Rickert is probably around 13 or 14 years old. Throughout the entire Golden Age which was a 4 year period he remained almost exactly the same, it wasn't until we saw him again a year later when he looked noticeably different. Judeau I think may have been around Griffith's age, but then again I have no idea how old Griffth is either. If I had to make a guess, I'd say Griffith, Judeau, Corkus, Pippin are all in their mid-late twenties. All of them seemed like they've been around the block more than a few times.
Now let's move on to the new main party, I'm gonna start off with Serpico and Farnese. I'm pretty sure those two are the same age, during the flashback I never felt like one was older than the other. They seem almost like twin siblings to me. Isidro is obviously a kid but we don't know how close he is to hitting puberty, he has very good muscle definition for his age and he's very athletic so I think he may be 12 or even 13. Schrieke is probably the same age as Isidro, however she is far more mature than he is so she comes across as an older sister compared to him.
I think I covered just about everyone. So what do you guys think, do we share the same thoughts or do yours differ?
