how old are the adult TLK characters in human years?

But she didn't seem to age much from her earlier teen scenes.

But who's to say that that whole ceremony before her 'big hunt' wasn't her sweet sixteen?

[Nitro]

I know. If she had just turne d 16, then only about a few months had passed since then

I'm not sure, but I think she and Kovu were young adults, and just like in TLK, they skipped teen ages. So I think they are 20-23

Nah, a bit younger. Kovu around 19-20 and Kiara 17-18.

Nala was around 20-23 when she found Simba in TLK and Kiara looked significantly smaller than ere, which usually means that she's younger than her, making her somewhere in her teen years. So Godric is most likely right since she doesn't look THAT young.

Simba and Nala were on their early 20's in TLK. In SP, during Kiara's presentation I would say they were around their early 30's. And at Kiara's first hunt they would be at their late 30's or early 40's.

They certainly have seemed to age between movies.

Indeed. That's why the Kopa theory makes so much sense to me. How else would this be possible, I wonder?

[Nitro]

Besides, the lion cub in TLK looks more like Simba while Kiara looks more like Nala. And why have 2 ceremonies for the same cub? I'm not going to get into the deep mess we call Kopa, I'm just pointing out that Kiara isn't first born.
