yo > years old

Does it matter?

Don't take offence, but this is not a natural-sounding English sentence. We would say something like "Although Arina is 16 years old, she imitates an adult woman well."

Meanwhile, the Russian original rather says that "it becomes Arina well to copy an adult woman", it says nothing about whether she's any good at imitating.

>it says nothing about whether she's any good at imitating
It says that she WELL imitates an adult woman

This should be unlinked from [#2834196], I believe.

The sentence says it suits her well to imitate an adult girl. It doesn't mention whether she is particularly good at doing so.
Thus, +1 to sharptoothed.

The Russian sentence was meant by 'this' here.
And the Russian doesn’t match English indeed. Russian says she looks good when she imitates adult women (without saying if her imitation is believable or not), the English says her imitation is believable.
I suggest changing the sentence or unlinking it.

I suggest telling 'astynk' to speak civilly.
I'm getting fed up with his insults...
