De-aged in Death	comment	Souls. Nobody knows anything about them, or if they're even real. Most religions and even non-religious spiritual groups have a concept for it. Heck, the fact that they're even called "spiritual" means dealing with the idea of a living essence within humans that carries on after the human dies. But either way, no one truly knows anything about souls, and that means writers are free to write the rules of souls and spirits however they darn well please. However, one common thread among many souls is that they usually manifest identically to how the person looked when they died. For example, if they died as a child, they stay a child. This is especially the case in live-action and animated productions. In live-action, this allows the same actor to continue playing the role of the dead character. In animation, it saves on having to create another character model. But sometimes, this doesn't happen. Sometimes, a character as a soul doesn't look like they did when they died. They look younger, maybe even to their childhood. Why is that? Many times, there is no explanation for this, at least a Watsonian one. However, there is a perfectly reasonable Doylist reason for this: recognition. When characters are seen at different parts of their lives, there usually is one age considered the "default" appearance of the character. This is usually the appearance they have for most of the story, and it usually is them as a young adult or an older teenager, both of which can be played by actors in their 20s to 30s. Stories will usually flash around their lives, usually with childhood flashbacks and perhaps a Distant Epilogue where they're now elderly. This leaves a little bit of a conundrum for when the writers decide to have the elderly character die but wish for the character to come back as a spiritual entity. By most stories' logic, they'd have to use the elderly form of the character since that was how the character looked in death. But even though the elder version is the same character, it's not the same familiar character the audience grew to know and love. So instead of manifesting as an elderly soul, they instead manifest as they did when the audience really got to know them. The writers choose to give the audience the familiar younger form of the character. Sub-Trope of Healthy in Heaven. Not to be confused with Death by De-aging, where de-aging is what causes death, not the after-effect. Overlaps with Residual Self-Image, since if this happens, the soul looks different than the body they had in life. This trope can also be used as a shorthand to indicate Dying as Yourself. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

After spending the first half of his regeneration taking out a Dalek fleet, he reverts back to his initial youthful appearance before completing the process, which is treated in-universe as the death of one incarnation and the birth of the next.

De-aged in Death / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time: Elsa and Anna's aunt, Ingrid the Snow Queen, serves as the Arc Villain of the first half of Season 4. The discovery of her powers by her and her sisters Gerdanote Elsa and Anna's mother and Helga occurs when they're playing as little girls on a hill with Ingrid catching up to them. They promise to stay as loving sisters. Circumstances align and cause the sisters to divide, with Helga dying accidentally by Ingrid's hand, Gerda sealing her in an urn, and then Gerda herself dying at sea, resulting in Ingrid believing she had no sisters and her villainous turn is her trying to find new ones. Once Ingrid realizes that Gerda profoundly regretted her actions, Ingrid sacrifices herself to stop her own villainous plan, proclaiming that she'd be Together in Death with the sisters who she now knows truly loved her. This is visualized with the same scene of them running over that same hill with Ingrid catching up to her sisters.

De-aged in Death / int_fa7ffb67	comment	Field of Dreams: The White Sox players appear on the Field of Dreams at the age they would have been in 1919 when they were banned from baseball in the Black Sox Scandal, while many of the players died decades later (i.e. the real Shoeless Joe Jackson died at age 64, while his ghost was played by 35-year-old Ray Liotta). Other Field of Dreams players appear as they did at the height of their careers. Zigzagged with Dr. Archie "Moonlight" Graham, who died an old man, but appears as a ghost as both a young man (when his baseball career almost took off, getting the chance at bat he never had in life) and an old man (when he gives up being a ballplayer and becomes a doctor again to save Karin from choking). Discussed when the Field of Dreams catcher is revealed to be Ray's father John as a young man. Ray, shocked at his appearance, mentions how, "I only saw him later, when he was worn down by life."

De-aged in Death / int_ff2165b	comment	Cold Case: In a few cases where one of the suspects/people involved in the case died before the cold case was reopened, they will appear in the episode's ending montage as they appeared in the flashbacks, not at the age they actually died. This was particularly true of "Torn", where the murder took place in 1919 and all but one of the people involved had long since passed away. Downplayed, since those who appear are not necessarily literal ghosts.
