I've watched her undergo this subtle transformation more than once-- in which she goes from ~14 to ~17 in the blink of an eye without even a change of wardrobe. It's something about her body carriage, mannerisms, and way of relating to others.

To extend the range even further, she uses her extensive wardrobe to support the role she is choosing.

It's really a neat skill to watch-- she's playing different ages, and she's a consummate actress. smile

Ds12 can do this as well and he's become very skilled at it since he's skipped a grade. He can adapt to his own age peers, his classmates who are a year to two years older, and he can carry on very adult like out to dinner with well-beyond-his-years humor and confidence. His voice will even deepen according to how many years older his friends are.
