![]() ![]() Spike will not grow up to be like the dragons we have seen.Instead he will grow up to be a dragonborn. Deciding to make friends despite the virtual inevitability that they will wind up losing them may be a lesson in friendship in and of itself. The series started with just the two of them and will end with just the two of them. Its possible that he will outlive everyone but Twilight.Given that Twilight is now an alicorn, there's a good chance this has now been Jossed, given Celestia's own age.He certainly isn't considered an infant by anyone. Incidentally, while Spike is called a baby dragon, the show establishes that it's more a reference to size than his age or his place in the dragon life cycle, about which practically nothing is known. In "Dragonshy," it was mentioned that dragons can sleep for as long as a century at a time.Twilight said in "Winter Wrap Up" that Ponyville is at least a few centuries old.Where was a number age for Granny Smith given? She helped found Ponyville generations ago, but that isn't a number, and has some consistency issues.Other than that, while Dragons are long lived, ponies in this setting are shown to be very long lived too: Granny Smith is established as being over 100 years old. Link to the Word of God? All I honestly remember is her saying the Mane cast are young adults, whose mentality fluctuates around 12-22, as necessary for the plot.Dragons are already known to have much longer lifespans than ponies. Again, assuming ponies live to be as old as humans, there is extremely slim-to-none chances that the Mane Cast and everypony else will even survive to watch Spike turn "seven". Which leads me to believe that 1 dragon year = 10-11 pony years. As You Know, in the Cutie Mark Chronicles, Spike's egg hatches, which would put Spike at around 11 years old., yet he's still considered a baby. (Also assuming that the series takes place in present times.) In The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Twilight looks to be about the CMC's age, which is probably around 11, making The Cutie Mark Chronicles takes place in about 2001. Assuming the rest of the main six are the same age (even Pinkie, she had a birthday), Twilight has to have been born in 1989-1990. Spike will outlive the Mane Cast and all of the other ponies.Word of God said that Fluttershy is 22. ![]()
