Might as well work on this one too…
On Age in Carmen Sandiego (2019)
Or, at the very least, in the timeline of Crimson Shades.
First off, Carmen’s mother, Carlotta Valdez (aka “Vera Cruz”), was supposed to have “died” in 1999. Carmen looked around perhaps a year old at that point in time, giving her a possible birth-date in 1996 to 1997. This in turn suggests that the series takes place some time before the actual date of publication—say, 2017/2018 onwards—to maintain Carmen’s rough age.
Rough age ranges of the characters, taking Carmen’s rough birthdate for estimation:
Team Red
Isabela Valdez/Black Sheep/Carmen Sandiego: 16/17 starting at VILE, 18/19 during the Poitiers Caper, 22/23 by the end.
Fairly self-explanatory.
Pierre Bouchard/Player: 12/13 as a White Hat Hacker, 14/15 during the Poitiers Caper, 18/19 by the end.
Not quite old enough for a learner’s permit (Up Here it’s a G1) during the earlier capers.
Ivy Collins: 19 during the Donuts/Poitiers Capers, 23 by the end.
Zack Collins: 18 during the Donuts/Poitiers Capers, 22 by the end.
Zack is supposed to be around a year younger than Ivy.
Nakamura Suhara/Shadowsan: 23 when sent after Dexter Wolfe, 42 during the Poitiers Caper, 46 by the end.
Young but not too young, as it were.
VILE
Eartha McGlynn/Coach Brunt: 39 upon receiving Black Sheep, 58 during the Poitiers Caper, 61 when arrested, 63 by the end.
Gunnar Stromme/Professor Maelstrom: 37 upon receiving Black Sheep, 56 during the Poitiers Caper, 60 when arrested, 62 by the end.
Oluchi Cleopatra Okorie/Countess Cleo: 26 upon receiving Black Sheep, 45 during the Poitiers Caper, 49 when arrested, 51 by the end.
Saira Dhibar/Doctor Bellum: 33 upon receiving Black Sheep, 54 during the Poitiers Caper, 58 when arrested, 60 by the end.
Sir Nigel Braithwaite/Roundabout: 56 when appointed, 57 when arrested, 59 by the end.
Margherita Picasso/Cookie Booker: 54 when first pelted, 62 when the Hard Drive was stolen, 67 by the end.
Vlad Bobinski: 28 upon receiving Black Sheep, 45 upon letting Black Sheep get away, 50 by the end.
Boris Vladinski: 27 upon receiving Black Sheep, 44 while watching Vlad let Black Sheep get away, 49 by the end.
They may be slightly younger or older, but at least Coach Brunt’s age seems to have been confirmed at 60 by the time of the Fourth Season.
Graham Calloway/Gray/Crackle: 18 starting at VILE, 20 during the Poitiers Caper, 24 by the end.
Jean-Paul Marignan/Le Chèvre: 19 starting at VILE, 21 during the Poitiers Caper, 25 by the end.
Antonio Sánchez/El Topo: 18/19 starting at VILE, 20/21 during the Poitiers Caper, 24/25 by the end.
Sheena Landry/Tigress: 18 starting at VILE, 20 during the Poitiers Caper, 23 when arrested, 24 by the end.
Parker Morris/Mime Bomb: 18 starting at VILE, 20 during the Poitiers Caper, 23 when arrested, 25 by the end.
Sawa Jin/Paper Star: 17 starting at VILE, 18 during the Magna Carta Caper, 22 when arrested at the end.
ACME
Tamara Fraser/Chief: 26 when killing Dexter Wolfe, 45 during the Poitiers Caper, 49 when arresting VILE, 51 by the end.
Inspector/Agent Chase Devineaux: 37 during the Poitiers Caper, 38/39 when arresting VILE, 41 by the end.
Agent Julia Argent: 25 during the Poitiers Caper, 27 when arresting VILE, 29 by the end.
This is going to cause some trouble, I just know it. But the average amount of time it takes to get a university degree in the UK is around three years, and Julia has two of them. She also seems to have jumped right to an associate professorship at Oxford in Season 3, the requirements for which are around 4-6 years of study plus a thesis. Thus Julia would have had to have been in school for at least something like seven to nine years before joining Interpol, with whom she had apparently only been for a fortnight before the Poitiers Caper. The number above assumes that she skipped a year and took a year less to complete her second degree. Or took two years less. Or started two years early. You get my point. Basically, Julia has to be a fair bit older than she looks in order to actually have the qualifications she possesses.
Agent Umaira Zari: 38 during the Poitiers Caper, 40 when arresting VILE, 42 by the end.
Some additional ages:
Nakamura Hideo: 17 when his brother Suhara was born, 36 when his brother disappeared, 63 when his brother returned for good, 65 by the end.
Not an unreasonable age given his looks, I thought.
Carlotta Valdez: 27 when she gave birth to Isabela, 47 when Carmen returned home to her, 49 by the end.
Young but not too long, once again.
Any I missed?

What I think a select number of CS Character's Zodiac signs are just for the sake of it:
Zack - Sagittarius.
Ivy - Gemini.
Carmen - Leo.
Player - Taurus.
Julia - The most September Virgo of all time. Help her. Someone.
Chase - Scorpio.
Zari - Capricorn.
Chief - Libra, but think they are a Capricorn.
Brunt - Gemini.
Neal - Eel.
Cleo - The Pisces™.
Bellum - Aquarius.
Shadowsan - Libra.
Sheena - a stubborn Aries.
Paper Star - was forged from the pure flames of hysteria surrounding her speculated existence that caused the materialisation of her being that was within an undocumented period of time and space.
Maelstrom - a sociopath of a Capricorn.
El Topo - Cancer.
Le Chev - a very angry Leo.
Gray - Sagittarius.
Mime Bomb - Aquarius.
Dash - a Virgo disguised as a Leo.
Roundabout - an actually evil Scorpio, the ones you hear about but never actually see. This is him. He is that guy. Fear him.

Alright
I found a blessing
On Twitter of all places
Credits to~ ✨Scepterno✨
People's reaction to when Le Chèvre loosens his hair (loosen as in when you're removing braids or something LOOK I DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN)
Antonio/El Topo(we start from him because yes,and they're dating soo):
I have never had a nosebleed in my entire life, but now I'm flustered as fuck.(he's a cell phone going off)
Carmen SanDiego: When I saw him during one of my capers I was like "Is That Le Chèvre or someone named Roberto?" This bitch on his phone with that kind of hair, go off king I guess
Player: HE HAS HAIR?! OH MY GOSH HOW COME I NEVER KNEW THIS?!!
Zack: I THOUGHT HE WAS BALD HE HAS HAIR??!!
Ivy: Alright I'm making a tough decision, Whose hair am I touching? El Topo or Goat Boy??
Shadow-San:
*shruggie*
Graham/Gray/Crackle: Quite a shocker if you ask me, he honestly looks good. (literally not trying to say he's hot before El Topo does something to him)
Sheena/Tigress: This bitch is looking like he is in his 30's then afterward looks like a Teen, but anyways there's one good thing about this.... *Scissors😨*
MimeBomb:
*miming out "damn"*
Tammy/Paper Star: He's trying to use his hair to escape from me, how pathetic. (BITCH YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD GET RID OF ME)
Dash Haber: I'm going to need every single conditioner, shampoo, hair spray , comb , hair straightener,hair curler , and hair lotion he uses
Coach Brunt: I asked him "You going on a date?" , He said "I wish".
Countess Cleo: Surprising to see him like this, I even said that his hair style was better than Dash's, obviously Dash will be histeracle if he heard that I said that.
Prof Maelstrom: Unlike the others I have no opinion on his new look, cause most likely he just go back to his old one.
Dr.Bellum: This can give me the new opportunity to try new experiments! A hair growth serum!
Yea
Also I didn't add my ocs because I didn't feel like it , so yea
