Fucking Sandy, man.

Let's keep it simple today, with a DE brought to you by [personal profile] ladysingsthe:

How tall are your characters?
ladysingsthe: (disney: la belle epoch)

[personal profile] ladysingsthe 2012-10-30 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
YES OH MY GOD PLEASE CAN EVERYBODY ANSWER THIS ONE.

Puck is 5'6". While tall by the standards set in tales about "the wee folk," he is tiny compared to many in Milliways and particularly compared to his a-lot-taller boyfriend.

Wendy Watson is her actress' height of 5'3". But she can still kick your ass, she'd like to point out.

Aphrodite is on the taller side for ladies, though I've never established this until nnnnow: uh, 5'8"! Not quite runway-model-tall, but a presence all the same.

Ava's 5'5". This is revealed on Supernatural in a shot of her missing person poster. Thank you, show, for even giving me my character's canon height in a manner that is full of doom.

Weirdly, I'm Ava's height, and I always feel really short when I'm not wearing heels ...

THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION.

Mary Anne is 5'6" because that's my height.

Artemis is 5'10", because I was going for something that would be considered tall in Classical Greece. (Also, I have discovered it's her PB's height. Yay models!)

Natalie aka Noble Six breaks the curve completely at 6'9". She's an even 7' if she's in her badass Spartan armor. (Yay experimental growth hormones?)

[personal profile] death_gone_mad 2012-10-30 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
I want to say 5'8" for Amascut, but I don't remember where I pulled that number from. Maybe its how tall her PB is? No, the only guess I found was about 5'11", which is believable. I don't think I have seen a picture of her where she is looking up at someone.

The newest bit of canon that deals with her has someone admit she is "pretty statuesque", so, she is tall, maybe? I'll just go with the 5'11" (1.8 m) figure.

Elle is super tiny, at only 5'1". (Which is Kristen Bell's height.) Sometimes guys like to tower over her when they're trying to intimidate her, but it doesn't usually work.

(Well, it worked a little for Slenderman)

Leslie is also really tiny, at 5'2". But like Elle, she's kind of a tiny bustling ball of energy - except less evil.

Manny is taller, but I also tend to think on the short side, given that he's shorter than basically everyone around him, including his leading lady. So I'd guess he's around 5'4" or shorter.

Asami on the other hand, is rather tall - she's about a full head above Korra, and even appears to be taller than Lin and Bolin, but shorter than Mako. So I'd imagine she's 5'10" or even closer to 6'.

And just because - Marceline can change her height, but when she's in her normal form, she's also pretty tall. It's sort of hard to tell, because she floats around a lot instead of just standing, but even when she does stand she tends to be taller than most others. So I'd guess she's around 5'7" or 5'8"

(I'm 5'3", so I can relate to Elle's having-to-look-up-at-people-a-lot issues.)

Urquhart is very tall (6'5"), and Teja follows at 6"4'. Poins is considerately shorter -- at least his 'Hollow Crown' version is more than a head shorter than Prince Hal, so I guess he doesn't even quite reach 6" -- about the others, I'm not really sure. I mean, how tall or short is a mermaid??

To be fair to Poins, Tom Hiddleston is kind of a tree. (IMDB says David Dawson is 5'9" to Hiddles' 6'2".)

Tommy Gavin is 6'3" -- it's actually indicated in his departmental records in canon (yes, I paused that one scene where it appeared on a computer screen), and plus his PB is 6'3" anyway, so.

And Kenny Shea is 5'9" because his PB is 5'9".

Most of my pups are from canons with live actors - as such, their heights are easily knowable.

Jim (and Gene Wilder) are only a little bit shorter than me, at 5'10 1/2".

Louise Jameson is 5'6", but I'm tempted to say that Leela is actually a little bit taller than that at about 5'8". Though I won't commit either way on this.

Both Kane and Joseph Kucan are 6'1" - just the height he should be at, in my opinion. Not freakishly tall (except perhaps a few thousand years ago), but he's not looking up at too many people.

Atrus is 6'2", same as Rand Miller. I don't really think about Atrus's height much.

Which leaves Borgel. I have no idea how tall Daniel Pinkwater is and wouldn't care anyway, since he doesn't really look like him. I picture him as being at slightly below average height - about 5'8".

X is 5'6", according to most sources that don't take into account how tall she was when she was twelve.

Diana is 6', give or take.

Dean is 6'3" according to canon, I believe, but Jensen is 6'1". Sometimes I pretend Dean was wearing lifts during the episode where the height info appeared. *hands*

Michael is 5'10".

Flemeth is shorter as an old woman, probably 5'4" to 5'6", and taller when she's wearing the maroon armor (maybe 5'10" or 5'11"?)

Galadan is in the neighborhood of 5'7".

Raven is 6' or so as a guy, 5' or so as a woman, and 4' or so as a kid! It roughly corresponds with PB heights, but only roughly.

Sam Tyler is 5'9" or 5'10". I can't remember offhand how tall John Simm is, and Sam often wears heeled boots. Yay 70s!

Will is 6 feet, because I wanted him to be taller than his PB even though it probably doesn't make sense with his era. Its just Will has to be tall in my head, he looks skinny and is pretty lithe.

Charles is the actual height of James McAvoy which is 5'7", he's short for a guy but has a lot of presence. In most of the movie, he's the shortest guy but he pulls your attention.

Sameth is 6 feet according to canon, though he slouches and doesn't always look it.

Moist is 5'11" because that's how tall Jude Law is and its never specified in canon. I always feel like when he wants to, he can seem taller than he is.

William is 5'8", Logan Lerman's height and he always looks a little young since he's not hugely short just a little. And huh, Christian Bale and Russell Crowe aren't as tall as I thought they were. I mean they're tall but not towering. A movie presence really does make a difference.

Jane is 5'8", which is probably a little tall for her era but is her actress' height.

Demeter is 5'6" unless she wants to be taller or shorter, exact height isn't as much of an issue for her since she can change shape whenever she wants. This height is actually only an inch taller than I am and I think about the average height for a woman.

Tumnus is I think a little shorter than James McAvoy's actual height of 5'7" because his posture's different. Not a lot shorter but some as Tumnus seems like a character who tries to make himself smaller.

The Pirate King is 6'2" as that's how tall Kevin Kline is and he uses all of his height.

I know I'm only getting parts of Sandy out here in the midwest but its worrying. The sky is far too dark and the world is windy and cold.

The Marvel Wiki lists Ben as 6' even but with how artist draw him towering over his team mates nowadays, I've pushed that to 6'4". They also claim he only weights 500 lbs but that's another story.

Hank McCoy is listed as 5'11" but I've decided he's Nicholas Holt's 6'2" to distinguish him from comic canon a little bit more.

Palamedes is at least 6'4" and build like a linebacker.

Thalia is about 5'6" in my head though her actual height has never been defined.

Jessica Drew is 5'10" which is 3" taller than her PB, oh well.

Val is listed as 5'4" but she was 13-14 at the time so with her growth spurt I've decided she's 5'8".

And just so Ava doesn't feel short, there's a new pup I've been eyeing for a while now that is 5'2". =D

ETA: What the heck, I stand 6'4", so when I write Ben living in a world too small for him, I know what I'm talking about!

Oh, yay! I always like knowing this, especially with characters who'd notice whether they're looking up or down.

River is 5'4". Summer Glau is actually 5'8", but a) I couldn't find her height on the internet back in 2005 or so when I millicanoned that, and b) I'm pretty sure they frame shots and such on Firefly to make River look shorter than that.

Trowa is a touch under 5'9". (176cm, since he comes from a metric canon.) Not so tall, but still taller than a few of his canonical friends. This includes some post-canon growth spurts I gave him; in canon, he's 5'3" to the other pilots' 5'1" when they're all 15ish.

Regan is... uh. I've never millicanoned this! I'll say 5'5".

Clare is... I have no idea, so thanks for making me check! The Claymore wiki says she's 170 cm or about 5'7", so let's go with that.

Thor is pretty tall! Chris Hemsworth is 6'3", the internet tells me. I haven't decided if Thor is the same height or slightly taller, since he's generally framed to look huge. In any case, he's generally wearing sturdy boots, so that boosts him a little too. (Edit for more inconclusive rambling: 6'5" is my mental benchmark of quite tall, because uh I come from a family of giants. Official word for the comics version is 6'6", apparently. But I can't decide if I like better to declare Thor very tall because, y'know, Thor, or to keep him 6'3"ish (not all that much taller than half the guys listed in this DE) and have all the rest be super-strength and presence. Quandary!)

Amy is about 5'4".

Anna Milton is 5'5 ½" (when she's not roughly the height of the Chrysler Building).

Lily Evans is 5'6" or so.

Remus Lupin is about 5'11".

And the TARDIS is 5'7" as a person and about 10' tall as a big blue box (somewhat taller on the inside).

[personal profile] kd7sov 2012-10-30 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Felix is about 5'10", a couple inches taller than I am. This is purely arbitrary; he's approximately of a height with his canonmates, except the wind ones who are younger, but there's no canonical numbers for any of their heights.

(Though come to think of it, that means both Jenna and Mia are somewhat above the average, at the age of 17. In a medieval-ish world. Hmm.)

Kain, according to the wiki, is exactly 6'. Not that his actual height necessarily matters, what with his Dragoon jumping skillz.

Fluttershy is... I'm not sure, have we ever specified beyond "a few feet"? Let's call her somewhere around 3'6", plus or minus a slouch. They are little ponies, after all. (When she turns into a human for Milliways holidays, though, she's kind of absurdly tall. I don't remember exactly what measurement I picked, but probably something like 6'7".)

Cranky strikes me as a bit taller than Fluttershy, maybe as much as 3'10".

What would that make her relative to the rest of the Mane Six, d'you think? Pony mares seem to average around four feet from head to hooves, but there's gotta be some variation, lazy animators and mass-produced toys notwithstanding.

Oh crap, let me see what Mia's bromide has to say. *goes to closet full of comic books* Okay, according to Mia's bromide, she was 5'4" when she was 16. I can't imagine her growing any taller. And, because this card has this sort of information, she weighed 99 lbs at that age and her measurements were 34/22/35 in. Aren't bromides great?! Another fun fact: Mia is the shortest of the main characters. This is probably best highlighted in the game during her argument with Nash in his Magic Weapon armor. Her slap loses some of its drama since she actually has to jump to reach him.

Lucas is.....short. Pretty much every human character in Mother 3 is either taller than him or the same height in the case of kids. And in Brawl, even other kids tower over him. I doubt he's even 5'.

Lohengrin is as tall as a knight in shining armor should be. Or, failing that, he's as tall as Fakir, who is 5'5 if the Princess Tutu wiki is to be trusted.

[personal profile] rymenhild 2012-10-30 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. The height of an actual knight and the height of a ballet dancer who symbolically represents/is the reincarnation of the knight wouldn't necessarily be the same. In a logical fandom (which Princess Tutu is not) I'd expect the actual knight to be three to six inches taller than the dancer. That said, neither young man has to be fully grown. Fakir, at 14-16 or so*, probably has two or three inches to go, although he'll never be tall. Also... because Tutu isn't a logical fandom, it's possible/probable that Fakir's appearance/size affects the original Knight's appearance/size rather than the other way around. Anyway, in Tutu, Narrative Convenience Rules All.

*I stretch the time-scale in Princess Tutu so that Fakir can be 14 when the show starts and 16 when it all ends. There's not canonical justification for that much time passing -- I think it's actually more like a month from the beginning of the show to its end -- but then again, time doesn't pass in any sort of logical way within the bounds of Gold Crown Town.

Easy, you say. HAH. Okay, Mary is easy, since it's TV. Michelle Dockery is 5' 8", so is Mary. (Also it mean Dockers always looks great in the long, period dresses.)

Carol is problematic. Marvel claims she is 5' 11". She's usually drawn taller than Tony (6' 1") and shorter than Steve (6' 2"). But like significantly shorter than Steve, so she's not 6' 1.5". (MARVEL I HATE YOU.)

Beyond that problem, at that weight and height Carol would be significantly underweight, and below the minimum weight requirement for the Air Force. And my girl Carol is super strong, not willowy and emaciated. (Again, MARVEL I HATE YOU.) Ultimately, I think 5' 11" is about right height wise, with the caveat that Tony Stark is actually about 5' 10" (without the suit) and she actually weighs around 160 lbs. She flies jets, guys. Healthy and athletic. Geez.

Danno is pocket-sized for your convenience at a stirring 5'5".

Jennifer Morrison is 5'5" and so is Emma. Which is a lot shorter than I thought, actually. Ginny Goodwin must be tiny.

Jack Twist is 6' but slouches.

IMDB says Jeremy Sumpter is 6'2", which is taller than I'd thought of Caspian as being. In my head, he's closer to 6' even.

Wolfwood, on the other hand, stands at 6'2". The Cross Punisher is only a little shorter than he is.

Grace is 5'2" because that is Holly Hunter's height. Also mine!

Alanna is 5'4" or so, given how tall her friends are. She is described as significantly shorter than Jon and the others, but she's solid muscle.

Thayet is... taller than Alanna. Probably 5'7".

I'm not sure how tall Jim's PB is, but he stands a bit taller than Kirk Douglas, who is 5'9".

Doctor Evil is 5'7.5" -- 5'8" when he stands straight and lifts his little finger to his mouth.

ETA: Forgot Elizabeth! Keira Knightley is 5'7", thus so is Lizzie.

Alanna is the shortest short person ever to short.

Did you hear she's short?

I figure Aradia's tall and gangly, relative to the usual build of a 13-year-old girl. Mainly because somebody once pointed out that she looks about as tall as Dad Egbert when she's first introduced. That seems like a bit of an exaggeration but I'm sticking with "tall". Perhaps 5'4" or 5'5", that's pretty tall for her age.

Note that I am hazy on whether trolls should have the same average height as humans. For the time being I'm gonna assume they do grow to be the same size as us.

Generally unless canon gives me a specific, I've matched my mental image of a character's height to that of the person who plays or represents them. So:

Moiraine: canon indicates anywhere from 4'11" to 5'2", and then promptly points out that she has the ability to seem much taller when being Extremely Aes Sedai. Mm-hmm. Helpful, no? (Raven calls her 'portable.')

Sam Winchester: Canon says 6'5" or 6'6". I've been going with 6'5", but we're meant to feel that he's very tall.

Bucky Barnes: Previous Marvel canon measurements make NO SENSE AT ALL in terms of the height and weight listed, so I'm going with Sebastian Stan's height of 5'11".

Gabriel Tam: ... I can't remember if I actually looked this up for his actor or not, but I've always thought of him as being somewhere just under six feet. Let's say 5'10".

Nick Sayre: If canon said, I can't remember. I think he's close to Sameth's height, and Paul Walker is 6'1", so we'll go with that.

Kim Ford: She's 5'5".

Captain Jack Sparrow: 5'10" based on Depp's height, but that doesn't take into account boots, hat, or style of movement.

Laura Roslin is 5'6", without heels.

I'm forgetting someone. *sigh* I need more coffee, I really, really do.

I knew Sam was tall, but he is truly a yeti friend

For pretty much all of mine, I went by the height of their actor/actress. So!

Gaeta is 5'10".

Olivia is 5'8", but can easily gain a couple inches in heels. (Sensible heels, mind. Lady's still gotta run.)

The Trickster is also 5'8", when he's not pretending to be somebody else. Or wearing heels.

Bolin's the only one I had to make up! I went with him being about 5'7"-ish, since he's a pretty stocky, compact kind of guy -- not to mention almost a full head shorter than his brother.

I am not here whatsoever.

Gene is 6' even, or maybe a smidge more. 80s!version is always wearing boots though, so he'll seem an inch or two more.

Bruce Wayne is, IIRC, 6'1

Bruce Banner is (bless him), 5'8 or so.

...of course, Hulk is around 10' tall and wide, so.

And wee little Harry, is about 5'5. Or at least, Daniel Radcliffe is. Don't think canon ever specifies his height, except as 'shorter than (tall) Ron'.

*vanishes*
