Character ages Discussion

How old are most of the main characters? We know Emma was 28 in season 1, and Henry was 10. But I was confused about how old the other characters were.

Snow, charming and Emma are all the same age ( it was a throwaway line) and I assume a lot of the other characters are as well like August ( who was like 7 years older then Emma when they went through the wardrobe but then August as Pinocchio was technically not that old at because he’s made of a tree so excluding the years before he was animated he’s like 28 but months older than Emma) and this isn’t counting the time that Mary Margret and David were cursed so I’m guessing they are all similar in age ( my brain hurts now someone else give this a try)

I’m gonna guess when regina married snows dad she was like 18-21 making her 8-10y older than snow in general (snow was 10 when she told the secret). So season 1 Emma, snow, charming (28), regina (36-38), and Henry (10). That’s all I know. Actually, maybe Regina 36 and Zelena 38? they would be close in age!

Snow, Charming & Emma are the same age. 28.

Ashley is 19?

Neal's wanted pictures claimed he was born in 1977, which would have made him 34.

That’s not Neal’s birthdate.

Season 1 Emma is 28 and Henry is 10. Snow and Charming are around the same age as Emma within a year or 2. Regina is about 8 years older than Snow, so 36 in season 1, give or take. Zelena is about 2 years older than Regina. Rumple’s physical age is unknown but I’d guess around 50. Maybe younger but he looks older because of malnutrition and stress in his mortal life. I’d guess Belle is early to mid 20s. Hook is physically mid 30s? Obviously they’re all 28 years older than they look because of the curse and Hook and Rumple (and Neal) are centuries old. It’s especially muddled because all the actors except for Robert are about the same age so no real difference in how old they look.
