And I don't mean exactly ten years. For example, in acting, a 29 year old can pass for a 17 year old. It is fine and suited, and makeup can make them look even younger if necessary. This rule usually applies to all age ranges, except the obvious ones. Don't try and cast a 10 year old as a five year old, it doesn't work XD

Anything beyond 10-13 years is an issue though. So Logan and Alexandria will still pass. Trust me I know it's normal but its also annoying. It gives the characters this air of adulthood. Like I mean they are mature in the sense of saving the world and all, but they're never noted o look particularly adult. Even in Viria's artworks, which are now official as I'm sure you know. I'd rather have young actors who can focus on playing the part rather than looking it.
