The thing is, big uguu anime eyes (like the ones that pretty much every single female in this show has) can make someone look younger. It's sort of a... "baby-face" effect, I guess you could call it. Babies appear to have a big round head with big eyes and a little button nose (That's why anything with the same features tends to elicit the same "Aw, how cute" response from a lot of people). Anime females (and the females in RWBY) tend to have a big round head, big eyes, and a little button nose.

We don't really have that problem with the males in this series, due to them having much more normally-sized eyes.

The way that the female characters look can interfere with our judgment of their age.

I've seen people place Neo's age anywhere from 12 to 20.

People used to think Cinder was in her 30s until Monty, and other people on the crew, said she's actually not much older than the Beacon students, which places her in her 20s at most, considering students graduate at the age of 21. (Ozpin said they'll attend Beacon for 4 years, and Weiss, Blake, and Yang are said to be 17)
