You're as old as the stars themselves and might possess the power to destroy them. While some entities like you might enjoy terrorizing others and warping their minds with improbable non-Euclidean frames, you prefer to be a bit more... subtle in your interactions with humans. Or you might have a good reason for not wanting your powers and potential to be immediately obvious. And what better way is there to hide your identity and throw off suspicion than by taking on the form of a perky high school student? An extreme version of Older Than They Look, Really 700 Years Old covers ancient, perhaps immortal beings, and (usually) the total opposite of Really Was Born Yesterday. Subjective age only—a form of suspended animation alone does not count. Elves tend to fall into this trope quite a bit in modern-day fantasy, in part because their Beauty Is Never Tarnished. The same with Vampires and other Undead subspecies, who are unaging/dying beings who get to keep their mind and body. If it's purely artistic rather than biological, it's Artistic Age. For characters who look far younger than they are, but haven't yet lived longer than a human possibly could (say, an 80 year-old woman who looks 20), they're Older Than They Look. See also Immortality Begins at Twenty, Not Growing Up Sucks. For the really, really extreme version, see Time Abyss. Optimistic characters will say this trope is sweet. For ways in which works show off that a character is Really 700 Years Old, see Exposition of Immortality. |

Beatrice in Umineko: When They Cry looks 20 but is a 1000 year old witch… or so she claims. She is actually a 19-year-old human, and all her stories about her "distant past" are either invented, romanticized, and/or refer to her defunct mother and grandmother, who both had the same name. There's also the other two 1000-year-old witches, Bernkastel and Lambdadelta, though the question remains as to whether they're actually real or not. |

The title character of Iolanthe is a fairy who looks like a 17-year-old girl. In the backstory, she married a mortal and had a son, Strephon; in the play, his age is 25. This causes problems for Strephon when he is seen in Iolanthe's company, since no one will believe that's she's his mum. | |

In one Popeye storyline, Popeye ends up engaged to a mermaid (long story), and can't find a way out of it because if he does, she'll threaten to cause a storm that would flood the entire world. He later has to meet with her to discuss their wedding date. When he comes back, much to everyone's surprise, he seems very relieved. He explains that mermaids live a long time. She wants to get married on her 600th birthday, which won't be until 2062. By that time, he's certain she'll have changed her mind. | |

In Code:Realize, the Apostles of Idea - whose number includes Saint-Germain - have been granted Resurrective Immortality by Omnibus for the purpose of monitoring and guiding humanity's development to keep them on "the correct path." Omnibus, their leader, is implied to be the Biblical Eve. As such, they're all a lot older than they look; Saint-Germain claims to have been around for thousands of years. | |

The physically 9-11 (no one knows) years old Furude Rika in Higurashi: When They Cry, thanks to the "Groundhog Day" Loop. Unlike Hanyu and most other examples, maturity matches mental age, though this is deliberately hidden so as to not freak people out. This also applies to Hanyuu to a lesser degree due to her not being in her true form to begin with. As of Gou, this applies to Satoko Houjou as well. |

In Phoebe and Her Unicorn, Marigold the unicorn has supposedly seen "oceans become forests become deserts". The fact that she is old enough to remember when a glacier covered the area Phoebe's house once stood suggests she's been around since the last ice age. | |

The Tsukipro Multiverse has a few examples: In Tsukino Hyakki Yakou, Hajime and Shun are Kurotenko and Shirotenko, divine fox spirits who rule over the Spirit World. They appear just as the main setting's Hajime and Shun (in their early 20's), but they adopted the Oni, Shiki, when he was a baby. He has grown up and raised Tsubasa and Soshi, and all of them also appear to be in their 20's. The earliest stories in this setting take place hundreds of years ago, and feature the characters in their mature forms, as do the stories set in modern times. In Tsukino Empire, Shun has ruled over the remnants of humanity for centuries. Though he appears publicly as the second prince, the entire imperial family are actually just illusions that he created, and they have been that way for what would have been generations. In Machine Elements, which takes place in the same world as Tsukino Empire but 3000 years later, Hajime has been alive, though asleep, through that whole time, and he looks the same. |

Diego in Havenfall Is for Lovers looks about thirty, but is actually a vampire who's been around for about five hundred years, long enough to have taken part in the Spanish invasion of the New World. Razi and JD may likewise be much, much older than they seem; their profiles only state that Razi "looks 35" and JD "looks 25," with no indication of how long either of them has actually lived. | |

Many characters on both sides of the war taking place in Rplegacy's fantasy crossover RPG are a lot older than they look: Princess Zelda is anywhere in the range of hundreds or thousands of years old but looks like a young adult, the various Ainur on both sides have been around since the dawn of time, Thor is essentially immortal, and the Pevensies are technically many decades old after spending a lifetime in Narnia as royalty and then returning to England at their original ages. There are also some races present which exhibit great longevity, such as the Númenóreans, who are longer-lived than other Men, and the Yngvi (elves) native to Caranom, whose age cap is at about a thousand years but age very slowly. | |

The sort-of sequel Aoi Shiro has Kohaku, who is about 1000 years old despite looking like a young boy. Unfortunately, due to having a flawed immortal body, she spend most of that time in torpor. However, that is nothing compared to her estranged foster father, Ba Rouryuu, who was there during the age of the gods (i.e. at least as old as Sakuya, above). | |

Many if the characters of hololive have ages listed in the hundreds, if not thousands, of years, if they are listed at all. To name a few examples from the English branch: Calliope Mori is a grim reaper who has existed since the concept of death was invented, Kiara Takanashi is a phoenix with Resurrective Immortality, Ina'nis Ninomae is a Humanoid Abomination whose official age listing is blotted out with ink, and Gura Gawr is an Atlantean who lost count of her age around 5000. The only member who seems to be of a normal age is Amelia Watson, but even that's debatable given her being a time traveller. | |

All the Fate/stay night Servants, as they all appear using bodies based on their prime of life despite coming from time periods any time from a few years into the future to 6000+ years old. This is kind of explained by the Root pulling them out of our traditional sense of time, and holding them in a kind of suspended animation between each Summoning. | |

Welcome to Night Vale: Due to time working funny in Night Vale quite a few citizens are substantially older than they look. An episode showcasing some recordings of radio host Cecil's past shows has his first broadcast at the settlement of the area sometime in the 18th century, and later ones on the invention of radio, Pearl Harbor, and Bill Clinton's presidency. Recently (in the novel), attention is paid to Jackie Fierro, who runs the local pawn shop at the young age of nineteen, and has been nineteen for "several decades". |

Arcueid in Tsukihime is actually 800. She might not count due to sleeping most of the time, but she doesn't age, either. Her sister is at least as old as Arcueid is, has probably spent the entire time active and looks only about 14, making her perhaps a better example. Len from the pseudo-sequel Kagetsu Tohya appears to be a little girl of about ten, but at the very least has lived several human lifespans. |
