The ages of the characters...



My sister went to the qubo site and read that
Pepper is 12
Rake is 13
Jester is 14
and I forgot what she said about Smithy.
Jane acts like a teenager but does not look like one..so I'm a little confused about her age.Maybe 11 ?

I'm the one whose hair is always cloggin' up the sink.

I consider most of the ages of the characters that I've found online to be a bit iffy. I mean, let's face it, Smithy is NOT 14.

IMHO, the ages for the characters are roughly around 12-13 for Pepper, 13-14 for Rake, 14-15 for Jester and Gunther, 15-17 for Smithy, and 14 for Jane.

Pepper looks older than Jane by at least two years...(in my opinion)

Really? She strikes me as being quite a bit younger.

# Jane is twelve years old.
# Jane was ten when she first met Dragon, up in his cave in the mountain.

Got that from the qubo site in the fun facts part.

I think my wife likes the show more than my kids!!!

uh, pepper does not look younger than jane, she is more "developed"

I think the rest of us are looking at her face. ;)

LOL, I agree though (well, not about Pepper's 'developments') Pepper seems a little more mature. More simple-minded than Jane, but I suppose more of the traditional "young lady of the middle-ages". She seems too mothery over everyone (to eat) to be younger than Jane (who's 12 officially, right?) So, I'd put her around 14 as well.... Dunno, I kinda thought they were all a bit older than 12... like, 16 or so. (I thought they were just silly because it was a kid's show, but I guess they're silly because they're young...)


If I said you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?

But they all had to grow up a lot faster then. A girl could be married off at the age of 14, if not younger.

Qubo.com's Pepper bio states that her dream is to have a large family, so it's really not surprising that she's a very motherly type.

reply

They all look waaaaaaay older than 12. Especially the guys. Rake strikes me as the youngest :P Pepper looks way older than Jane.

reply

i have only seen a few episodes...most of the ages people stated seem ok to me,but smithy seems like an adult...maybe in his twenties.based only upon what little i've seen of the show,of course.if i knew more about the characters,i could judge better.but by appearance alone,that's my guess.

I got all of this from the qubo site.

Jane- 12
Gunther-14
Smithy-14
Pepper-12
Rake-13
Jester-14

Kids matured a lot faster back then. They were all sent off to trades at like ages 8-10 or something like that.

According to the timeline on the official site, Jester and Smithy were born in the same year, then Gunther and Rake a year later, the Pepper and Jane the year after that.

So if Jane is twelve, so is Pepper; Rake and Gunther are thirteen; and Smithy and Jester are fourteen.
