I don't think they'll stick THAT closely to it all. Chronology of the Volumes and Seasons will likely dictate age more than anything else. Ruby won't stay 15 I don't think, but she won't be turned 16 just for the sake of another year passing in real life. Volume 2 is still set in the first year, and it's likely Season 2 and possibly 3 will be too.

I think we'll see the characters age and mature, I just don't think it'll be with the audience. Monty's example seems more like just that: an example. He is not against portraying Ruby as an adult huntress and won't shy away from it should the chronology of the show lead to it.
