Hamaan's age was given as 20 when she first appeared in Z Gundam, which would
put her birth year circa UC 0067. This is confirmed by the Gundam 0083
reference books, which give her age as 16.
By this reckoning, she'd've been 12 in UC 0079. She wouldn't've turned 18 until
UC 0085.
By comparison, Char's age was given as 20 when he first appeared in First
Gundam, which would put his birth year circa UC 0059 -- eight years older than
Hamaan. As related by Mark Simmons nearly two years ago, MSV Technical &
History gives Char's service number as PM0571977243S, in which the first three
numerals are the year of birth.
Mark went on to say: "It's stated that Char was born in UC 0057, which doesn't
match his known age during the One Year War; perhaps this was a fiction to get
into the Dukedom military (at any rate, this birthdate is reflected in his
registration number). We're told that he entered Side 3's Aznable family in
0075, and enrolled in officer training school that same year. After graduation,
he joined first the training battalion and then the Space Attack Force."
Thus, Char is actually eight years older than Hamaan, but officially he's TEN
years older.
Even Char's little sister, Sayla/Artesia, is older than Hamaan. Her age was
given as 17 when she first appeared in First Gundam, which would put her birth
year circa UC 0062 -- five years older than Hamaan and three/five years younger
than Cassoval/Char.
