How old is Ryne???? (Slight 5.2 Spoilers)

I think people take it too literally, when she says they're "her age". Consider how she's surrounded by 30+yo people the whole time, even someone say 5 years older than her or something vould be considered in her age range. Or in general anyone else who's also a teenager.

Theres plenty of wiggle room I guess. I wouldn't be suprised if she's ~16, and her stunted features and world views are due to a lack of proper upbringing.

Honestly you also need to look at it from a design aspect. It makes sense she's pretty small giving you a feeling that she's "cute" and wanting to protect her as well. Save for Lalafells, it makes sense she's pretty short.

Take Ryne for example. She is a female Hyur with a young appearance and is quite naive about the world around her. This suggests she is a child. Her height however is about 145cm or 4'9", she is about twice "my height" and I'm about 84cm or 2'9".

She's never 145 cm. That would be almost ok for her age. But as I said, my Au Ra is 147 cm and Ryne is WAY smaller.
I don't know if we can find her anyway after the last patch, but if we can I could stand next to her to compare heights. I think she was at least half a head smaller than my Au Ra, which is definitely more than 2 cm. So I guessed that she's like 135-140 cm or so.

That's why I said about 145cm. I know she appears twice my size so I doubled that and shaved off some some cms.

Finding the exact age is probably not that easy but honestly I never thought that she would be near 17. We can make an argument for the twins since elezen age slower than other races but that should not be the case for Ryne right? So I always took her to be around 15 years old.

I've always thought of Ryne as 14-15. "My own age" is a pretty vague term and doesn't necessarily mean exactly the same age. I just assume it was meant to point out that they're not grown-ups and she's only ever been around grown-ups. Granted, children tend to talk about ages more specifically than adults do (particularly the younger they are: I'm 5 and three quarters!) so the argument could be made that she meant their actual ages. It doesn't feel right to me that she'd be 16-17 though.

I know this post is old, but I also felt the need to add that "grown ups" is a pretty vague term too when used by young people. I had been a whole adult for 5 years before my younger brother even acknowledged that we were "grown ups." Yes, he was also an adult at this time. I was 23 and he was 21, yet in his mind, neither of us were grown ups. And tbh, I'm not even sure we are and I'm 28 now.
