Information
Where was the information about her being able to read and being worshipped by a Titan was found?R. Lawton (talk) 14:07, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

It was seen in the side story chapter feauturing Ilse Langner in the 34th expedition beyond the walls. The reading part is from http://shingekinokyojin.wikia.com/wiki/Castle_Utgard_(chapter) this chapter I think. Wut? I have no sig anymore? ;_;

Age:
There is no reason to presume anything about her age. The only facts we have are:


 * She wandered as a titan for 60  years.


 * She was in training for 2 years.

I am reverting her age to 62+ unless someone can justify another date. Rkbrumbelow (talk) 19:54, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

First and foremost, your numbers are wrong. She was a Titan for 60 years, and emerged back into human form 5 years ago. She was in training for 3 of those 5 years. She is officially listed as being 17 (on the anime's official page), so she was 12 when she stopped aging and became a Titan. She is one of the older Trainees, being 14 when she enlisted. We know she did not age during her 60 years as a Titan, but resumed aging once she regained her human form.

Therefore:

17 + 60 = 77.

So she is at least 77 years old.

You are presuming the 12, unless you can cite it frome somewhere. If training was 3 years then we are at 63+ as opposed to 62+. Can you provise a source for the other 2 years? I do not find any dates for it. I am not saying you are wrong, just unsupported. Rkbrumbelow (talk) 20:42, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

He said (and he's right) that the official site states her to be 17, and both the anime and manga show "5 years" across the screen when in the training portion of the story, so we don't need a source, and as Ymir was shown at the beginning of those 5 years, (both early in the story and in the ministory with Dazz) then she would have had to be 12 when she became human again. There is no source necessary, please do not change the age again. Chris (talk) 21:19, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Rkbrumbelow, I'm not sure how this is so confusing.

Training is explicitly and repeatedly stated within the source to be 3 years long. It is stated during the Initiation Rite, stated by Eren when he makes his speech prior to going into battle in Trost, and the ages of the characters also explicitly show this. The main characters (Eren, Mikasa, and Armin) were 12 when they enlisted and are currently, one month out of graduation, 15. Hence, their military training takes 3 years.

As for Ymir's age, we know that she was human PRIOR to becoming a Titan. Reiner and Bertholdt explicitly discuss this in the latest chapter, stating she was able to become human AGAIN. And since she did not simply appear out of nowhere fully grown, she must have been at least 12 when she became a Titan. As, again, the official stats for the characters state she is 17. She is, with the knowledge that she did not age during her 60-year stint as a Titan, at least 77 years old.

Where am I getting the 12 years old? Pretty simple. She is currently (physically) 17 years old, and returned to human form 5 years ago.

17 - 5 = 12

Therefore, her pre-Titan and post-Titan age was mostly likely to have been 12 years old.

Likely does not make it soRkbrumbelow (talk) 21:31, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

What the hell else do you suggest putting? That's math, word usage doesn't change it and it doesn't make Ymir 63. Is this gonna become a problem?Chris (talk) 21:32, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Ymir did not appear out of thin air. We know she existed PRIOR to becoming a Titan, and her 60 years as a Titan are not taken into account when counting her physical age because she did not age during that time. She is physically 17 years old. I'm not sure how this is confusing.

Harostar (talk) 21:37, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

It makes her 63+ as we can account for 63 years of her life. Maybe she was 102 and became a titan then reverted to 17 when she got out We simply do not know. Rkbrumbelow (talk) 21:42, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Rkbrumbelow, you are wrong. Again. I really am attempting to be patient, but your incorrect facts and seeming inability to grasp basic logic really are confusing me. How is this so hard?

785: Becomes trapped in Titan form. (Physical age: 12)

845: Regains human form. (Physical age: 12)

847: Enlists in the military. (Physical age: 14)

850: Graduates from the military. (Physical age: 17)

Ymir is shown to have visibly aged during her time in training. And even if she "reverted to 17", that STILL means she is over 70 years old.

17 - 3 = 14

17 - 5 = 12

60 + 17 = 77

I am not sure how much more explicit I can be in spelling this out.

Ymir is officially documented by multiple sources (character bios on anime's website, character bio in the official guidebook) as being physically 17. She has now revealed that she has an extra 60 years tacked onto this, in which she did not age.

Harostar (talk) 21:49, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

You are assuming the 12 and the physical ages. Nowhere does it state them except that she appears 17 how much clearer can I make it? Rkbrumbelow (talk) 21:52, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

And how much more clear can I make it?

Official Anime Website Bio: 17 years old

Official Guidebook Bio: 17 years old

These are official numbers. They do not include her 60 years in Titan form.

60 + 17 = 77

Harostar (talk) 21:56, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

And how do you know they do not account for it, further if they do her age is 77, not 70+ or 63+ You are not even consistant in your age placement. Doesn't matter, I give up. You can claim she is 90. Fact of the matter is we only can account for 63 years everyyhing else is supposition. I have better things to do though than try and teach you simple hermeneutics. Rkbrumbelow (talk) 22:03, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Official source:

http://www.shingeki.tv/character/#11

Lists her as being 14 when she enlisted.

Lists her as graduated when she is 17.

Therefore, if she was 14 in 847 and 17 in 850, she must have been 12 in 845 when she regained human form because that is how math works.

Also, as a note, someone being 77 would be someone that is 70+.
