To Aru has one of the worst cases of As-written-in-the-book Vs. Artistic Depiction when it comes to some of the character ages, there were intially some serious miscommunication issues between the author and the artist which were carried over to the Anime adaptation and thus never corrected.

It happened only for Stiyl and Kanzaki. There are very few other characters whose appearance doesn't fit their age for no reason other than making then different form the the rest of the cast. That's not enough to label Toaru as one of the worst case of "long name". And even in our world there are people who looks younger or older and/or are shorter or taller than other people of the same age, so the numbers of characters with not so credible age-appearance ratio can be further reduced. I myself look, unfortunately, 3-4 years older than my actual age too and I knew people who look even 7-8 years younger.
