The official height chart
The chart was posted by the developer as a reference used when drawing sprites. It lists five characters, which is every character introduced in the current build. The numbers below are the published values, not estimates from artwork.
The official age order
A separate AMA post answered a request for the cast ordered oldest to youngest. The order is Ticket Taker, Doctor, Pierrot, Jester, Harlequin. No numeric age has ever been published for any of them, and the order is the only age information the developer has released.
- 1. Ticket Taker — 183 cm tall
- 2. Doctor — 207 cm tall
- 3. Pierrot — 198 cm tall
- 4. Jester — 192 cm tall
- 5. Harlequin — 187 cm tall
The strength ranking
The developer also published a raw physical strength ranking, which is separate from height. It runs: Pierrot first, Harlequin and Jester tied in second, Doctor third, and Ticket Taker last. The ranking is published as an aside to a fan question rather than as a game mechanic, so treat it as characterisation rather than a stat screen.
- Pierrot — rank 1
- Jester — rank 2 (tied)
- Harlequin — rank 2 (tied)
- Doctor — rank 3
- Ticket Taker — rank 4
What the chart does not cover
The chart covers the five introduced characters only. Columbina, whose death shapes the backstory of both leads, does not appear in the published chart, and no official numeric height for her has been found. A height for her circulating on fan wikis is not first-party information.
Birthdays are similarly uneven. One character birthday has been confirmed by an official post; the rest of the dates circulating online are fan-derived and should be treated as such.
Why character lists disagree
Most disagreements come from mixing the published chart with fan-assigned ages and birthdays, then presenting the result as official. The height figures and the relative age order are documented. Exact ages, most birthdays, and anything about a sixth character are not.
