In a parallel universe where the third season of Sailor Moon was balanced regarding the villains' screentime, the Witches 5 would have had an equal number of Daimons and episodes, and the three main bosses their own personal Daimons to summon.

For day 6 of @smlgbtqweek ! Theme "Tree"

After my "how tall are the Witches 5" here's a post trying to find out how old they are.

I'd like to start by saying their ages are probably not consistent among the different versions (manga, 90s anime, sera myu, crystal) but I still think the range is similar.

Manga

Given the format being in black and white, it's hard to distinguish which colour are their respective bows. The only picture in color in the Mugen uniform is Mimete, and her bow is green, meaning she should be in high school (so around 15-18 years old). I would assume it's the same for the others.

90s anime

Just like a lot of characters (especially villains), the Witches 5 look significantly older in the 90s anime. But I do think it's only because of the art style and their age is still close to their manga counterpart. Unlike the manga, only two witches were shown wearing the Mugen uniform (mainly Viluy, Tellu only when her student ID is shown). In both cases, their bows were both green. This should mean these two are in high school (again 15-18 years old). I would assume most of the other witches are probably in the same age range, but I think Eudial is probably 18 (or more) and the oldest. First, driving a car is 18+ in Japan, and the other witches called her old behind her back so it seems fair to assume she's older than them.

Crystal

Meanwhile in Crystal, except for Eudial, every witches wear a blue ribbon, meaning they are in middle school (and Eudial is in high school, making her the oldest). This means Mimete, Viluy, Tellu, Cyprine and Ptilol are around 13-15 while Eudial is 15-18 (possibly closer to 15-16 so she wouldn't be that much older than the others). It also makes them all (minus Eudial) around the same age as the inners, who were 14-15 around that time and still in middle school.

And let's add the musicals for good measure. I just want to precise that the green bows are not the default in the musicals, Hotaru is wearing her blue bow in all versions, and there were elementary school girls wearing the red bow.

Bandai Myu

Eudial, Mimete, Tellu and Viluy are shown wearing the green bow with their uniforms, so it's fair to assume they are high school age. Cyprine isn't shown with a school uniform in this musical but I think it's reasonable to think she'd be around the same age as her fellow witches.

Nelke Myu (Un Nouveau Voyage)

This time, all the Witches 5 are shown as Mugen students. And just like for the older musicals, they wear the green bow. In one scene in particular, Eudial is referred to as "senpai" by Mimete, which may indicate she is the oldest (or a reference to the 90s anime where Eudial is called senpai by Mimete). Mimete is also referred to as "senpai" by Minako, seeming to confirm that they are indeed high schoolers (as opposed to Minako and the other senshi being middle schoolers).

In conclusion

In most continuity, the Witches 5 appear to be of high school age (15-18) except for Crystal where most of them are of middle school age (13-15) while Eudial is in high school. In either case, it appears that Eudial is depicted as the oldest.

…this is possibly one of the greatest things I have ever received. What a birthday gift to get. Tsubame as Tellu, and the inverse in chibi format. I love this.
