As far as Cinder is concerned, Cinder actually is rather young. Multiple people on the RWBY crew have stated that Cinder isn't much older than the Beacon students. Students graduate at 21, so she's in her 20s.

As for Ozpin... He apparently trained up on his Aura to the point where he has become something "more than a man," according to World of Remnant: Aura.

There are a number of possible explanations for why Raven looks so young.


 * The crew admitted they almost ran out of time with the finale, which explains why they used a recolored version of Yang's hair model for her.


 * The art style makes the characters look deceptively young.


 * The after credits scene appears to be a dream. If the photo Yang has of her mom (which she showed to Junior in the Yellow Trailer) is a really old photo from when Raven was young, then her mind is going to project Raven as being that young, since she doesn't know what she looks like now.
