I have the opposite problem. I do RP a couple young characters and a Very Young one (12yo), and often have to see her being hit on and treated like an adult woman just because of what the other sees on the screen (despite me having chosen 0 breast size, smallest height, and very chaste clothing). And it's not that I don't have her act childish, I do, but then I get reactions like "Is she always immature/whiny/excitable like this?" Well, yeah.... she's a kid.
Honestly wish we had more options to import our IC age (whether it be old or young) on our characters. This mid-20s universe is getting dull.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
