* Child: Character is round and tubby, no difference between boys and girls. Eyes the size of saucers.
* Pre-teen: Girls develop A cup breasts. Boys develop [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|baseball caps]]. Eyes begin shrinking.

▲== Anime and Manga ==
▲* ''[[Rose of Versailles (Manga)|Rose of Versailles]]'' does this.
▲* Completely ignored in ''La Seine no Hoshi'', a [[Follow the Leader|Rip Off]] of ''The Rose of Versailles'' with ''[[Zorro (Franchise)|Zorro]]'' elements. While the series covers about the same time span as ''The Rose of Versailles'', none of the characters age (or [[Limited Wardrobe|change their clothes]].) Most painfully obvious in the heroine's sidekick, a boy of about 11 years, who never shows any sign of maturing over the course of 20 years!
* ''[[Galaxy Express 999]]''
* ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'': Particularly apparent with Parn and Deedlit (even though she's an elf!), if you look at the difference in their designs between ''Records'' and ''Chronicles of a Heroic Knight''. In the former, Parn is barely more than a boy, all huge-eyed and smooth-faced. His design has rougher lines and more narrow eyes many years later, and the young-looking design is found in the new generation of heroes, instead, particularly in Spark.
Line 33 ⟶ 30:
* The child characters in ''[[Wandering Son]]'' age visually over the 6+ years. Their faces in particular have leaned down and become less round. Compare Nitori in [http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwisgfWx8Y1r2w685o1_500.png elementary to him in high school].
=== Video Games ===
* The ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series has the teenage characters subtly but noticeably age a year, compare [https://web.archive.org/web/20120617055120/http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080403045930/kingdomhearts/images/a/a0/Kh-sora-model.jpg Sora at 14] and [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091025225831/kingdomhearts/images/f/fb/Sora-3.jpg Sora at 15]{{Dead link}}; at 14, his eyes are larger and his cheeks are chubbier.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
* ''[[Fire Emblem]]: [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Shadow Dragon]]'' follows Marth's life and begins the story with Marth at a young(er) age. His expressions in cutscenes are very calm and passive-looking, but after the second half of the game, his age seems to progress, as his hair is longer, his skin is slightly darker, and his face bears an angry, yet confident expression.
=== Western Animation ===
* In ''[[South Park]]'', the kindergartners' eyes are a good 50% of their face. Older kids have smaller, but round eyes. Adults have eyes a bit smaller than that.
* Happens to Candace in the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo".
* In ''[[
* Flashbacks in ''[[
=== Anime and Manga ===
* [[Rumiko Takahashi]]'s older characters practically define the "prune" style, e.g. Happosai and Cologne in ''[[Ranma
