I'd always thought of her in her early twenties, about the same age as Cinder, no way she's just a teenager. I tend to agree. Neo is, not to put too fine a point on it, one of the best pure hand-to-hand fighters we've seen in the series. Only Cider has managed to lay a hand on her, and Cinder is no slouch in a purely physical fight herself (had their fight stuck strictly to hand-to-hand, my money would have been on Neo). It would be difficult to explain that level of skill at 16.

I think that the situation in which  that age was tossed out there (i.e, what seemed to be a "winging it" answer in a lightning round) is such that "Neo is 16" shouldn't be considered canon.
