    Actually she's only 37 according to he lorebook profile, so if anything she's younger than I assumed she was due to having grey hair and glasses.

    I have a zero-height Midlander. IIRC, Ryne is shorter, but not by much. I checked - the top of Ryne's head is about even with Aurelie's chin.

    I don't have screenshots on hand, but here is one with Alisaie.

    So my assumption was that Ryne is younger than 16, because she's Hume, but "looks" about the same age as the Elezen twins.
    That's my best guess too.

    If you do the maths, Elezen age 10-20% slower than the other races so (16 x 5/6 = 13.3) to (16 x 9/10 = 14.4) as an approximation of their "equivalent to Hyuran" physical age.

    It's probably on the same page that tells us their lifespan is much shorter than the other races.

    (i.e. only there according to unreferenced Internet sources.)

    Also easily disproved unless it was somehow a gender-specific trait because male Miqo'te certainly do visibly age.
