Age in Fantasy/Shojo manga is weird

How old is Nina and how old is the king because I don't like big age differences. I keep on hearing people say that Nina is 16 but she looks 12. Honestly. In all fantasy shojo animes, I can never guess their age because they look younger than they actually are. Its either that they look 7 and actually are 12, 13, or 14 or they look 12,13,14 and they are 16 to 18 years old. The King can literally pick Nina up. are 16-year-old girls really that short. or is everybody else in each fantasy/shojo manga just extremely tall?

    most the time a non/semi/fantasy MC or SC is smaller then there age the author is being mildly realistic about malnutrition, i beleave that this it the case with Nina

    No wait, 15. You were right and sometimes my brain doesn't do anything.
