Zane’s birthday. (Help??)
It’s been troubling me for years. He’s my favorite character, and always has been since ~2015. I saw online that his birthday falls on a Friday the 13th, which narrows it down a lot but it’s hard to follow. If the popular consensus is true and he was 28 in 2018, that puts his birthday in 1990. If this year is true, that makes his birthday either April 13th or July 13, as those are the only F13’s in 1990.
If this is true, he would be entering kindergarten in 2005– which is impossible for Aphmau due to her birthday. This opens up the possibility that Zane was held back in school, but there’s no evidence to support this argument. All in all, it seems implausible that he was born in 1990 and was he was really about to turn 29 in 2018, not 28.
I also saw somewhere that his birthday was in october or september, which would force his birthday to fall in 1989 or 1985.
1989 seems the most plausible assuming that Jess’s birthday is also canon Aphmau’s birthday, and since Zane and Aphmau entered freshman year at the same time, this would mean they are roughly the same age. If Jess doesn’t share a birthday with her character, I’m cooked.
In 1989, there are two instances of F13– January 13th and October 13th.
This creates a problem. If Zane were born in January, that would have him entering kindergarten an entire year before Aphmau. The only option left would be October 13th, giving them both the means to enter kindergarten at age 6, and enter freshman year in 2004 at the age of 15.
However. Some sources say that Aphmau is slightly older than Zane, but if his birthday was on the highly-plausible October 13th, 1989, this would make him a few days older than Aphmau.
The wiki ALSO supports Zane being born in 1989, because according to the wiki he was 28 in Mystreet S5, which came out in 2017, despite a lot of people saying he was 28 in 2018.
As you can see, this has been tormenting me consistently for over a decade. I’m a 21 year old man and I’m still thinking about this stupid block character. Please keep in mind I haven’t interacted with this fandom in a very, very long time, so if there’s new info or more evidence to support any claim, let me know
