I believe ZUN confirmed Sakuya's age to be in late teens to very early twenties. Not really a girl, let alone a shoujo. (Yeah, in Japanese the specific word has a much narrower meaning.)

I thought that only Sakuya said she was in her late teens. What with her power to control time it isn't to hard to imagine that she found a way to stop herself from aging and might really be an old h-*knifed*
She claims to be in her late teens, but this is unlikely judging by her refined manner and the level of her abilities. Rather, she seems to be a human who has been living for hundreds of years.

Inkerius said: On the other hand, this was written by Akyuu.
Honestly, The entire Akyuu book should be taken with a grain of salt. Akyuu is really no different than the rest of us. The only person we can truly rely on for actual info is ZUN. We can barely listen to the characters talk about themselves as well. The ones with a huge EGO will tell you they're chuck norris and the ones with no self esteem will say they're lower than dirt.
Yukari: "I'm 17 years old, isn't that obvious?" Eirin: "I'm 17 Lunarian years old. Certainly it'd be rather difficult to convert it into Earth year, since the measurements were vastly different. You see, for millenniums, we, the Lunarians, or actually I, had been developing such unit to time not the age of ourselves, but to dwell into the deepest history of the universe itself. If you're interested, it was begun one day when..." Yuuka: "What you meant, how old I am?" Yuyuko: "My, my, how old am I, I wonder?" Kanako: "My age is my faith, my glory and my power. It's unmeasurable." Mima: "Bugger off you old fart." Byakuren: "Does it matter? For the peace of this world, we should care not of the age of our body, but our souls."

Tenshi: "Oh, I'm definitely not NEARLY as old as those other ladies! Why, compared to me, they're positively ANCIENT!" Tewi (in Udonge's voice): "One Lunarian year is thousands of Earth years, Master!" Koishi: "Oneechan is above the age of consent!" Meiling: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" Komachi: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" Nue (disguised as Miko): "You know who's REALLY old? Byakuren!" Mamizou (disguised as Kanako): "Oh yeah, I totally agree with 'Miko'! Byakuren's older than dirt!.... um, don't mind the tail, I'm just... um... COSPLAY! It's cosplay! Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!"

Claim to be 17. Boast about a work done in the scale of Millenniums. You sold yourself there, Erin...

Lunarians don't really change; why would they need a concept of age aside from mental maturity?
(Of course, that raises questions about Eirin's maturity if that's how she's answering...maybe I should take into account that 17 used to be well above marriageable age, but even so...)
Oh dear...you were so mean all of a sudden. Good grief....you'll become a Magical Girl and...Well, no matter. In exchange...Oh, sorry. You no longer have any "young girl" in you, so it's impossible.*Slice**Cut*Naturally, it's my job as a maid to keep suspicious people away from Milady.*Hack*
