Age of a 3D figure is open to interpretation, both by the artist and the viewer. If you're considering using her as a petite adult for x-rated renders, be aware that someone, somewhere will cry "pedo" because there are some people who have never met an adult female with the body of a 12 year old. As such, they consider these to be mythical creatures, like bigfoot and honest politicians.

Seriously, it's obvious that a pile of pixel can't have an age and the interpretation is more than open for all... but just to have a point of reference I still think the author should write any number about the age of the character.

I feel stupid also for just talking about this but if someone say "she looks like a child" I dunno what to reply and it's not good.

Precisely because 3D figues have no birthdate we have to go by how they look, though if they look older and have a story saying they are not (such as a Freaky Friday scenario) we might then take account of the stated age. But essentially we have to judge by appearance.

Easiest way is to check for the presence of a material option for the anatomical elements, though that isn't foolproof. DAZ Original figures and those included in the bundles will generally include them if the character is meant to be an adult.

Her texture would be based off an adult, so theoretically no problems there. Her body really isn't different from any adult petite body morph in the store. But she's based off a Thorne character (Josie), and Thorne characters tend to look more childlike because they have large eyes, pouty lips, and large heads. So if you wanted to age her while still keeping her face recognizable, first try dialing the head a bit smaller to make it more proportional to a human adult, then scale the eyes down a mite and make the lips a bit thinner.

She looks passable as an adult to me, though, I don't see a huge difference between her face and say, Brooke or Danny. If you require character morphs like her that are clearly sold as adults I would suggest the P3D and FW catalogs.

The really hard thing about saying "this character is X age" is there are so many ways to change them. Maybe Josie is sixteen, how old is half Josie, half Victoria?
