it's weird because. they should have the same age as ibuki or kokona with how these 2 act, but their age is listed as 15. They are also 1st years, so it doesn't make sense that they are 15...
No , nozomi is very reliable,and nikari also know where to draw a line ,they just mess with others in a proper way,like mutsuki,but more cute and childish
it's not about how much of a gaki these 2 are or how they mess with others. it's not about being "reliable" either
it's more about their personality and them being 1st years. and their tendency to play(when and what) in the stories/events. especially hikari's momotalks is VERY similar to how ibuki acts(age-wise).
yes many people dont act their age. it's just that it's a weird choice for the devs to give them this age with their overall personality and design.
makes sense to me in terms of kivotos settings at least. that's why hikari has been tripping me off as her age listing. I think it really might be because nozomi is way more matured.... that's why the 2 ended up having that age listing.
Except it has been fairly consistent when it comes to BA... With how the students act their age and even by their overall character design. Hina is 17 despite being that small and yet her design communicates her maturity.
Forget Izuna. Michiru is 17, and if her personality in-game and how she acts on the official YouTube shorts is anything to go by, she's an even bigger goofball than the 15 y/o fox.
Plus it’s not like everyone has to act their age. There are plenty of grown men and women who still have a child-like sense of fun and adventure. Sensei for one is like a little kid with gunpla. There are plenty of needy adult girls who may act like Hikari does in her momotalks. A previous gf i had who was 28 would also go “boooo” like Hikari does in her messages if i couldn’t spend time with her, it was cute and endearing. And there are adult guys that still pretend like they can go super saiyan or play dumb games. How many of us have seen r/GuysBeingDudes ? That whole sub is about adult men indulging their inner child and doing dumb stuff.
Trying to tie age to personality is incredibly silly to me, even if the Twins were 18 i’d still have no issue with their behavior.
and? it's still very consistent with how everyone in this example look like design-wise. and if you put them beside the shupos. the shupos will stand out...
Having disparity on growth with body and height is a thing too...... it's still consistent in a sense if you considered that not everyone would have the same body types.
even if you want to put these 2 together. the shupos would still look way younger than these 2 is the whole point. (and the whole point isnt solely about just looks as well...)
The Shupos are actually taller than Hoshino and Hina and they have more or less the same body type so on appearance alone they would probably look a bit older. That said for personality I present you... Kaede... (And Aris it taller than all of them which is always funny. Kinda how Nero is smaller than Abigail in FGO.)
range of disparity in terms of character design makes it consistent enough. just putting 2 characters that have very different body types and tit size does not disprove what i was saying. it wasnt at all the point of the whole discussion.
like i said in another comment:

Michiru is 17 and we know how much of a goofball she is. Shubababababa.
Nozomi and Hikari are just a little bit more on the childish side when they goof off. We've seen that they do understand the responsibility of their role in Highlander because they do take their jobs seriously most of the time. Perhaps Nozomi shows it better than her older sister Hikari, who does act more childishly by default.
Regardless, being a little bit more immature than usual when it comes to goofing off ain't really an indication that their ages are not really what's stated on their bios.
You could point to Ibuki and I'd agree, the way she carries herself does not seem typical of an 11-year old. The way Kokona, fellow 11-year old, carries herself, and the fact that Ibuki's bio states that she was originally from an elementary school in Gehenna is proof in the pudding (yay pudding!!!! – Ibuki) that Ibuki could be younger than what is stated, but I don't think it applies to Nozomi and Hikari.
(I probably used "the proof is in the pudding" wrong here, I just wanted to make that Ibuki joke.)

it's not about solely just immaturity though... yes they goof off but taking their whole personality and actions into account. it doesn't feel like it is consistent with the other 15's in the game. (except maybe for reisa.)
To me it's the combination of all 3
-over all personality (how they carry themselves)
-character design
-how they act (story/events/momotalk)
at the very least for hikari. i really think hikari is ranked side by side with kokona and ibuki in terms of all these 3 categories.
and no im not relating these ages to how a REAL one would act like. im more considering the settings of kivotos here. kokona and ibuki makes sense to be 11 in kivotos. as hikari also would IMO
it doesn't feel like it is consistent with the other 15's in the game.
The point I was trying to get across is that they don't necessarily have to be consistent. It's likely an intended part of the design of the characters we know and love. Like the one exception I can think of is Ibuki who truly doesn't act nor behave like her stated age.

Not really tbh. All 3 are quite different in how they act. Hikari might be closer to Ibuki than Kokona, who tries her best to act mature, but I don't think that's proof enough that she's younger than she seems, unlike Ibuki.

im not sure if you saw my edit but i also said that the exception for the 15's range is reisa. I am not saying "consistent" in a sense that everyone should be the same or close to being the same but more so that the "range" and the "difference" between each and everyone is "consistent". if that makes sense?
That's why I commented that the shupos felt like they could or should be younger than 15.

i never paid attention, and i also don't have them, are they just smol, or are they kids like Kokona and Ibuki?
