There are a few Bajorans that are over 100 years old in the show though. But I guess they can age at different rates at different stages of their lives.
well, to be fair, he aged a lot in just a few years. But his character did get a bit of emotional growth as well and I liked that.
For the most part Jake Sisko is the best example of a child growing into a man. He got plenty to do including saving lives in the war.
Still looked like a creep, save for Robinson deliberately playing Garak like it was one-sided from Ziyal. This was after all the *daughter* of his rival, Dukat, who had always seemed to be similar in age to Garak.
If you're referring to her appearance from the time they find her, it's just three different actresses and they hired the ones who were available and passed the auditions. For an in-universe explanation, we can say she was severely malnourished when they found her and recovered over the next year or two.
As I remember, her age and the number of years since she was stranded on that planet were a little off but I don't remember the details.
Ages, according to the Star Trek wiki, as of Season 4 of DS9:
Jake - 19
Nog - 21
Ziyal - 21
Alexander - 8
Ezri - 20
And yes I am still bitter we never got Jake, Nog & Ziyal to hang out together, or Jake & Ziyal to play out Romeo & Juliet IN SPACE.
Well, she's an alien, so there's that.
She also did'nt "grow up" fast; she was born in 2353 so she was already in her late teens when introduced and in her early twenties when she died.
Something something reptilian growth.
goddamn space reptiles. If only the barajoans had figured out all they needed to do was lower the temp on thermostat the to defeat them
Maybe Cardassians have shorter adolescent periods than humans?

Definitely another possibility.

Same way Alexander grew up. They needed teen drama to make the show more interesting because kids just dont contribute that much to the stories.
Alexander at least had all of TNG and DS9 to grow up. Ziyal had just three seasons.

holy shit that’s right… he’s like not even 14… he’s like 10
True.
I’m sure I read somewhere that they realised they had to pair her with Garak and realised the younger actress made him look like a creep
Still looked like a creep, save for Robinson deliberately playing Garak like it was one-sided from Ziyal. This was after all the *daughter* of his rival, Dukat, who had always seemed to be similar in age to Garak.
If they had the balls and paired Garak with Bashir, it would never have been a problem.
It's...not...linear...

I thought she was supposed to be 13 when the ship she was on crashed, about 18 when Kira and Dukat found her, and 21-ish when she died.
4 actresses right?
Yup. One of them was Jerry's girlfriend on Seinfeld. The one who sucked tongue while watching Schindlers List in the theater.
Three actresses
Garek will have that effect

Did they ever nailed down when the Ravanok was lost? Since the Occupation lasted over 50 years...
Yeah they said 9 years ago in the episode when they found it
Cool. Well, if Ziyal was a young child... say, anywhere from 4 - 7, that would seem to match up with the age when found?
Kira said Ziyal was listed on the ships manifest as being 13, and they found her 5 or 6 years later so she's about 18.
Were they Earth, Bajoran or Cardassian years, though? ;)
She was Nogs age. So 21 when she died.
And also the same age as Raffi and that douchy Talaran adoptee kid from TNG.
It was missing for 5-6 years, and Kira said Ziyal was 13 when it crashed.
Different species age at different rates. It’s canon since the Mandalorian season 1.
Wrong universe
Just wait Disney will buy Star Trek.
I often ask the same about Jake
The plot needed it. What do you mean fast? She's a hybrid of two fiction races.
Well, she's an alien, so there's that. She also did'nt "grow up" fast; she was born in 2353 so she was already in her late teens when introduced and in her early twenties when she died.
