No, i never thought she looked particularly young, either...
In regards to Ranger's original comment: are you sure you're not thinking of the official artwork? As all of the official artwork makes the characters look quite bit younger than they do in-game.
I've noticed it a lot recently with all Harvest Moon games, actually (or at least i assume it's recent); the DS HM games seem to favour a super-deformed style for their official artwork.

Hmm, that's not quite a precise comparison, though.
Uzuki may have been very short and thin, but her face wasn't really all that 'child-like'.
And Iris was quite a bit taller. Plus of course there's the whole 'actually centuries old' thing...
What...? Uzuki's face looked like she was five. xD;
And although the Irises were still centuries old, they still had very young, petite features.

It seems that the Irises are eternal being and they maintance their beauty by drinking tomato juice almost everyday!
I still want to know if that is tomato juice or wine in the Japanese version. It just looks exactly like a wine bottle on the website image, is all. XD But then again, since the characters are of legal age to be married, I don't know why they'd remove alcohol references (not that games don't do that all ready, now that I think on it...).

Usually they substitute wine with "grape juice." But I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be tomato juice originally. I wish I had a link to the Japanese wiki....

In fairness, most Harvest Moon games don't remove alcoholic references.
The Rune Factory games all have Wine and each have several characters who get drunk on a regular basis.
Tree of Tranquility and Animal Parade have cocktails, and Grand Bazaar has a wide selection of alcoholic beverages which you can make.
It is, of course, a little odd that the player character is usually dissuaded from drinking, considering they logically must be old enough, but that's probably just to appease the censors. (Maybe it's become a bit of an in-joke, like it has in the Ace Attorney games?)

You know, I think that is it, the in-joke idea, that is. It sounds about in-line with Marvelous' sense of humor, and would explain it. :D
