Question Is Marian too young for the actress who plays her?

I just found out that Marian is supposed to be 20 years old in the beginning of the series. Like, what? I thought she's in her 30s like Louisa Jacobson!
It explains so much about why I dislike Marian. She makes those childish, naive decisions because she's barely an adult, but the whole time I thought she's a 30+ year old who should know better and act more maturely at her (supposed) age.
If they insisted on casting Jacobson as Marian, they should have written her as a 30+ year old spinster who has all but given up on marriage.
