on the subject of birthdays and ages

[glimmers]

It's been a really long time since we did this one:

How old is your character? When is their birthday? What is their zodiac sign? What about their Chinese zodiac? Is there a meaning behind their birth date/star sign/numerology/etc.? Answers can be canon, head-canon, whatever!  Even if you participated last time, share your birthday thoughts with us again!  \o/

For reference, the last couple times we did this not!meme are here & here.

Neither of my characters have canon birthdays or concrete ages.

Kyouko, however, can be pinned down pretty reasonably to a year. She's younger than Mami, but older than Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura--so she's fourteen. I have not bothered giving her a headcanon birthday, but based on some of the symbolism in her character, I'd put her down as a Scorpio if I had to.

Archer is really vague about his age. Fortunately, he himself does not remember how old he is! That's thanks to spending an eternity in a hellish existence where time had no meaning. Official comments indicate that he was "in his late twenties or early thirties" when he made his contract with the world; he died some months (or possibly a year or so? It's not clear) after that. When people ask, he says he's about thirty. He didn't remember his birthday even when he was alive, as he lost all of his memory before age seven or eight after the fire that killed his family and nearly did him in as well.

That sure was informative!
