Nanoha - Q&A

[Gespenst]

According to Wikipedia she's 134cm (4' 5'') in A's and In StrikerS she's 155cm (5' 1'')

I don't know where they got that info from though.

[Estavali]

Hmm, according to Nanohawiki (the Japanese wiki, that is), during StrikerS:

Nanoha: 160cm
Yuuno: 168cm
Signum: 167cm (ara, shorter than I've expected)
Subaru: 154cm (she was 120cm when she was 11, during the airport fire)
Agito: Around 30cm (same as Rein)
Duo and Quottro: Around 160cm

(Those not found here did not have their height mentioned in the StrikerS character page.)

Also:

Ginga: 130cm when she was 13 (during the airport fire)
Auris: Around 170cm
Quint: 160cm
Megane (Lutecia's mom): 160cm
Mariel: Around 150cm
Amy: 160cm


... Hmmm.

It seems that the general height range is around 160cm, save for the very tall (like Zest) and the very short (Rein II and Agito). Together with the height chart, I believe it's possible to hazard a fairly close estimate on their actual heights. Hope this helps.

Yeah, not like it makes a difference that the fan-made chart is off by an inch or two unless you're really picky. Interesting to know how much taller 19 yr old Nanoha is than me, though. :3

Okay, that I can understand. The only person who's in both A's group picture thing is Amy and she's making me really confused.

sdgdfjgbdkg I was just posting that. Argh, whatever. @_@

Here's the proof, too lazy to look at the rest of the book. Text says Alpine [Lutecia's mama] is the same height as 19 yr old Nanoha: 160cm.

Now what I'm confused about is Amy. If she's 160cm in StrikerS, does that mean Signum grew?

Yeah, most of the time fans and fanfic writers wouldn't be too concerned, much less be too particular, about precise character heights.

*pats* Have a cookie =3

Here's the proof, too lazy to look at the rest of the book. Text says Alpine Lutecia is the same height as 19 yr old Nanoha: 160cm.

You're actually talking about her mom, yes?

Now what I'm confused about is Amy. If she's 160cm in StrikerS, does that mean Signum grew?

Either that or she's wearing 7cm heels....

The mom I believe...

o plz, 155cm is not small.

Yes, I think I meant to put Lutecia's mother and then OH MOUNTAINS her name is Alpine and then something went wrong.

Either that or she's wearing 7cm heels....

Hohoh, her heels could have been 7cm. I mean, 7 = Nana = Fate, bwahaha. *brick'd*

And I keep thinking that line of the top of A's SideA_001 is 180cm for some reason. Wtf. And I tried to skim through the moonrunes, but then I saw this and just burst out laughing.

I am 183cm. Compared to me, you are small.

It's as small as Hayate (maybe).

And I thought I was pretty short at 178(ish)cm Well I'm still short compared to most of the men I know.

Signum is only 167 cm tall ?

I always pictured her in the 175-170 cm range, western bias and whatnot i suppose.

I'm about 160 cm. Damn you tall people!

[Evil Rick]

I presume Vita is around 120 cm :/

Hah, I'm 192 cm. I win

[Nanya01]

Hey, in StrikerS, did Lutecia have a device or not?

[Nya~n]

It was a Boost Device called "Asclepius". Visually resembles Caro's Kerykeion, except that it's black with purplish decals.

[isagrimorie]

Apologies if this was already brought up but I'm trying to figure out the command structure of the Enforcement Division (Bureau?) Would it be conceivable if my analog for the Enforcement Bureau be NCIS? (Much like as I think of the Ground Forces investigative arm as Army CID). But instead of civilian agents Enforcers recruit inside the Navy.

And if so, would it also be conceivable to conclude the Enforcer's command structure is something like this?:

Thanks in advance!

[Dark Wing]

That dose sound just about right.

[isagrimorie]

Whew. Thanks, just needed to have that confirmed!

[Eva aka Pinkfox]

Is there any source that states Yuuno's mage rank?

This website http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Mage_rank lists it as A, but it doesn't give a source. A just seems a bit low to me.

[Keroko]

It's a Megami magazine rank, if I recall. Rank isn't everything anyway, for example Hayate is an SS-rank mage but squishy to the point where she even jokes about Caro beating her in close combat. Likewise, AAA-ranked Nanoha and Fate got tossed around by an aged AA-ranked instructor.

Can't seem to find the exact source, but I think everything I'm finding is linking back to A's - Arf, Zafira and Shamal are apparently rank A at this time, too....

[Ottocycle]

No one tried the official site? It explicitly states that he holds a mage rank of Composite A.
