How Old Are Genshin Impact Characters? Full Age List
Genshin Impact character ages are mostly unofficial, since HoYoverse doesn't list age on any character profile. Only gods, adepti and other long-lived characters have ages the story confirms, such as Zhongli at over 6,000 years, Venti at over 2,600 years and Furina at about 500 years.
For everyone else, from Klee to Barbara and Hu Tao, the game gives clues instead of numbers. Each character uses a short, medium or tall body type, and their stories hint at roughly how old they are, but any exact age for a regular human character is a fan estimate, not an official one.
Genshin Impact Character Ages Summary
HoYoverse hasn't published official ages for most Genshin Impact characters, only birthdays and body types.
Zhongli is the oldest playable character in Genshin Impact at over 6,000 years old.
Venti is over 2,600 years old as Barbatos, even though he looks like a teenage boy.
Furina and Nahida are both about 500 years old, tied to the events that made them who they are.
Klee, Barbara, Mona and Hu Tao have no official age, so any number online is a guess.
Traveler is thousands of years old, since Aether and Lumine traveled between many worlds before reaching Teyvat.
Genshin Impact Character Ages and Birthdays
Ages are one of the most searched details about Genshin Impact characters, even though most of them were never given a number. Every character with a known age is ranked from the oldest god to the youngest immortal, and the rest of the roster follows with their birthdays and body types:
Character | Age | Birthday | Body Type |
|---|---|---|---|
Zhongli | Over 6,000 years | December 31 | Tall male |
Ganyu | Over 3,000 years | December 2 | Medium female |
Xianyun | Several thousand years | April 11 | Tall female |
Venti | Over 2,600 years | June 16 | Medium male |
Raiden Shogun (Ei) | Over 2,000 years | June 26 | Tall female |
Xiao | Over 2,000 years | April 17 | Medium male |
Traveler (Aether or Lumine) | Thousands of years | Chosen by the player | Medium male or female |
Neuvillette | At least 1,000 years | December 18 | Tall male |
Mavuika | Over 500 years | August 28 | Tall female |
Yae Miko | Over 500 years | June 27 | Tall female |
Columbina | At least 500 years | January 14 | Medium female |
Furina | About 500 years | October 13 | Medium female |

Faruzan | Over 100 years | August 20 | Medium female |
Lyney | No official age | February 2 | Medium male |
Gorou | No official age | May 18 | Medium male |
Paimon | No official age | June 1 | Not playable |
Lisa | No official age | June 9 | Tall female |
Barbara | No official age | July 5 | Medium female |
Hu Tao | No official age | July 15 | Medium female |
Klee | No official age | July 27 | Short female |
Amber | No official age | August 10 | Medium female |
Arlecchino | No official age | August 22 | Tall female |
Mona | No official age | August 31 | Medium female |
Eula | No official age | October 25 | Tall female |
Birthdays are the one detail HoYoverse confirms for every character, and each character sends players an in-game message on their birthday. Body type shows which character model someone uses, short, medium or tall, so it hints at how old a character looks without confirming their real age. Venti uses a medium male body yet is over 2,600 years old, and Nahida uses the short female body despite being about 500 years old.
Oldest Genshin Impact Characters
Every character who is thousands of years old is a god, an adeptus or a dragon, so none of them age like regular people. Listed from oldest to youngest, each one has a clear reason in the story:
Zhongli, over 6,000 years old: He is Morax, the Geo Archon and the oldest of The Seven, and he now lives in Liyue Harbor in human form after stepping down from ruling Liyue. In battle, players often build Zhongli as a shield support.
Ganyu, over 3,000 years old: She is half-human and half-adeptus, and she has worked for Liyue since Morax's rule.
Xianyun, several thousand years old: As the adeptus Cloud Retainer, she has lived for thousands of years, though her exact age has never been revealed.
Venti, over 2,600 years old: He became Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, after starting out as a small wind spirit. He looks like a teenage boy because he took the form of a late friend, and Mondstadt's taverns even refuse to serve him wine in his character story.
Raiden Ei, over 2,000 years old: She ruled Inazuma alongside her twin sister Makoto for centuries, then became the Electro Archon about 500 years ago after Makoto died.
Xiao, over 2,000 years old: As the last active Yaksha, he has guarded Liyue from evil spirits for millennia, a key part of Xiao's lore.
Neuvillette, at least 1,000 years old: He is the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, an ancient dragon who serves as Fontaine's Chief Justice, and his exact age has never been given.
Genshin Impact Characters Over 100 Years Old
Most characters in this range lived through the cataclysm 500 years ago, a disaster that changed every nation in Teyvat. Listed from oldest to youngest, they still look young for very different reasons:
Mavuika, over 500 years old: She was born human and was already the Pyro Archon during the cataclysm, then returned to the present day after placing her life in Natlan's Sacred Flame.
Yae Miko, over 500 years old: She is a kitsune who was already alive during the cataclysm and now serves as the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Columbina, at least 500 years old: She is the Third of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and is often linked to the moon, which is why she is far older than her young look suggests.
Furina, about 500 years old: She is the human half that Focalors split away from herself, and she spent 500 years playing the role of Fontaine's Hydro Archon. Focalors' curse kept her from aging during those centuries, and most players build Furina as an off-field support.
Nahida, about 500 years old: She came from a branch of the Irminsul after the previous Dendro Archon, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, died, which makes her one of the youngest Archons.
Albedo, over 400 years old: He is an artificial human created centuries ago, which is why he looks far younger than his real age.
Wanderer, over 400 years old: Once known as Scaramouche, he is a puppet that Ei created centuries ago, so his body never ages.
Sigewinne, over 400 years old: She is one of the first Melusines in Fontaine, even though her short body type makes her look like a child.
Citlali, over 200 years old: Known as Granny Itztli in Natlan, she is a long-lived shaman who looks like a young woman.
Qiqi, over 100 years old: She became a zombie long ago, and her body stopped growing after her death.
Faruzan, over 100 years old: She spent about a century trapped in an ancient ruin, so she is far older than she looks.
Characters Without an Official Age
Klee is one of the youngest characters in Genshin Impact, but HoYoverse has never given her an exact age. She uses the short female body type, and her stories treat her as a small child watched over by the Knights of Favonius. Claims that Klee is 45 or 50 years old come from fan theories about her mother Alice, not from the game.
Barbara has no official age either, though she is clearly younger than her sister Jean, the Acting Grand Master. Hu Tao took over the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor at a young age, and Mona, Amber and Gorou all use medium body types, but none of them have a number attached.
Taller characters such as Eula, Lisa and Arlecchino are adults in the story. Arlecchino even raised Lyney and other orphans at the House of the Hearth, a big part of Arlecchino's lore as a Harbinger.
Traveler and Paimon Age
Aether and Lumine are thousands of years old, even though both look like teenagers. Both twins traveled between many worlds before they arrived in Teyvat, and their story begins when an unknown god separates them as they try to leave.
Neither twin has an official age, and HoYoverse has never shared how long they traveled before Teyvat. Fan sites give anything from 500 to more than 5,000 years, so the safest answer is that the Traveler is far older than they look.
Paimon has no official age at all, and the game hasn't even confirmed what kind of being she is. She is the Traveler's floating guide and appears in almost every quest, which makes her one of the biggest mysteries in Genshin Impact. Players curious about her theories can dig into who Paimon is in Genshin Impact.
FAQs About Genshin Impact Character Ages
Final Words
Genshin character ages are a mix of hard lore and fan guesses, and the line between the two matters. Gods, adepti and other long-lived beings like Zhongli, Venti, Furina and Nahida have ages the story backs up, and most human characters only have a birthday and a body type.
Checking if an age comes from the story or from a fan list is the easiest way to avoid wrong numbers. As new regions like Snezhnaya arrive, more ages may come out through character stories and Archon Quests.
