Aelita's Age

[YDV offline]

Uhh... okay. Remember how we were all under the impression that Aelita was 12, since the doctor said it in Common Interest?

Well I just re-watched that clip, and that's not quite what he said. He said "Adolescent to twelve years old," not "Adolescent-- 12 years old." Meaning that it was just a guess at her age.

Just thought it might be worth noting. She still may be 12, it's just... I don't think it's confirmed anymore. Or rather, it never was.

yeah, i remembered that..hey, wait!
Aelita was 12 in 1994, isn't that? at Lyoko, she forever waited..9 years?! and when she was materialized, she still 12! º.º!?

Ya, I guess your age stays the same when you're on Lyoko.
And I guess Jeremie found Aelita when they were the same age.
If she wasn't on Lyoko, she would be in her twenties now.

yeah, really! perhaps in Lyoko, the age...they're can't growing and change the age for much years, isn't it?

[Vora Lyoko offline]

In a sentence that makes more sense- I guess your age doesn't change in Lyoko her maturity level is quite high for her age.

[Virus_Xana offline]

I think she's older than 12 because lets face it she was viruatlized at a certain age and since you dont age in lyoko maybe she just looks 12 because she hasnt age.

[Taelia offline]

But she's still in love with Jeremie.

[Virus_Xana offline]

yup

9 years... that would be by 2003. And I think 2003 was the year when CL started to air in France. But at the States it started by 2004. By assumption, possibly some might think they have grown a year during Season 2. But there hasn't been a single episode showing a birthday celebration for any given characther. I think a birthday event couldn't be ignored for an episode plot (but there's the matter of Team Lyoko knowing Aelita for more than a year, stated by Season 1). So maybe no one has grown a year and I possibly think Aelita's 12 or 13. And if she wouldn't stayed at Lyoko, she would be on her 20's. She might be a bit mature for her age, but she's still a bit naive given her absence from the planet Earth.

I hope my points are valid and not mistaken.

actully in the key it showed her getting vertulized at a younger age. So im geussing that you do semi-age in lyoko, just not nearly as much.

[Virus_Xana offline]

Well it seemed to me she seemed more mature for her age.

[Vora Lyoko offline]

But she's acting a little more childish. She's been hangin around Odd too much.

Actually that's impossible, because while on Lyoko, you only exist as a bunch of code, data, and brainwaves. I suppose technically she aged in wisdom rather than body (because yeah, she would be in her early-mid 20's about now)

I thought S2 was set in 2006?

[TB3]

Yes S2 is 2006 - for proof look at SVD - 2006 is the only year when that day falls on a Tuesday, like Aelita said in the episode.

if you wana get technical about it your probaly right but remember anything can happen in code lyoko. Its possible Franz also programed lyoko to age the body particles, or watever its called.

If that were the case the kids would have noticbly aged - remember Lyoko was turned off as well for 12 years.

I kind of disagree with that. She looked precisely the way she does in "Code: Earth" as she does when she is virtualized in "The Key" with her father. They even used the same outfit from season 1 to emphasize it. Finding herself without any memory and being constantly terrorized by hordes of XANA monsters likely made her the quick-thinking, (though still innocent and mischievous) type character she is now. I don't think she really aged...genetically speaking. Age is caused by mistakes made in the process of creating new DNA and cells...cells and cell structure likely don't exist in the pixel world of Lyoko. Thus age wouldn't really exist either. ^^

I would agree with mewberries since I am taking advanced biology and that is what we have been studying. Yeah she has the body of a twelve year old, but she is much older in maturity and mindset. Granted, what else would you have to do when running from xana's monsters. Of course now that she has all of her human memmories back, will she lose some of that?

But wouldn't her DNA change, since it was stored on the supercomputer?

No, it wouldn't because it is not being replicated (just stored in computer memory) , at least not that can be ascertained.

of course, I am not a biologist with a degree, but that is what I would think

[Vora Lyoko offline]

Yes this is True.

[Little Vili offline]

So even though Aelita is "12", she's supposed to be 20? Sweet, that means if I want to be with her, then it cant be considered petifile (sp?)

[Andy Waltfeld offline]

^ You would be thinking of "pedophilia." And though the Men In Black may know how Aelita's aging got thrown off kilter, the cops won't.

I'd stick with your age-progressed fanart, if I were you. Or just keep your hands off Jeremy's woman.

[TB3]

I think Aelita's age is nearer to 24/25 at this point - she was twelve in 1994 after all, implying her birth was around 1982.

[Writing_Addict offline]

Oh wait this thread is still alive? Oh was it just created?" Um...I remember a locked topic about this uh....I don't know ^^;

Hmm...*grabs calculater* Aelita should be 24/25 like TB3 said right now. Maybe if you round it off....?
