Maturity is primarily reflected in the face. Of course it goes without saying that maturity makes its mark in the body as well -- but the face is the first place where age is judged by most people.
Of course in the real world (RW), there are always exceptions to the rule. Some people physically mature early and look like they are 25 when they are 14; while other people still look like they are 11 when they are 25. But such cases are rare exceptions -- and they fall into a tiny minority. The vast majority of people look like the age that they are.
When it comes to judging the apparent age of figures in 3D images, the mods can only go by the standard visual 'age cues' that the vast majority of the population follows. Real life exceptions to the rule are all well and good: but that doesn't matter in a 3D image. In 3D, a figure that looks like a child is a child.
