1	'''Basic Trope''': A character transforms into the older version of themself.
2	* '''Straight''': Ten-year-old Alice transforms into her sixteen-year old self, Candy.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Alice, a month-old baby, can transform into adult buxom beauty Candy.
5	** Ten-year-old Alice transforms into CoolOldLady Candy.
6	* '''Downplayed''': Alice, a twelve-year old, can turn into a thirteen-year old.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Candy is Alice's MagicalGirl alter ego, and age changing is part of the shtick that makes no one find out about it.
9	** Candy is actually the spirit that inhabits Alice's AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome. They're really just swapping places temporarily.
10	* '''Inverted''': Candy can transform into [[YoungerAlterEgo her younger self]] Alice.
11	* '''Subverted''': Alice gains the ability to transform, but her new body turns out to be about the same age as her original one.
12	* '''Double Subverted''': The transformation takes a few minutes, and after Alice thinks she's done, her body continues rapidly aging.
13	* '''Parodied''':
14	** Alice turns into Candy, but still acts and dresses like a ten-year-old.
15	** Alice turns into Candy, who's incredibly wrinkly, withered, and otherwise much too old to be fighting evil.
16	* '''Zig Zagged''': While Alice's sixteen-year old body looks like that age, she has the body maturity of a twelve-year old.
17	* '''Averted''':
18	** Alice is just dreaming of the transformation.
19	** Alice can transform, but remains the same age.
20	* '''Enforced''': "We can't show a child fighting and putting herself in danger. We'd better find a way to make her seem more adult."
21	* '''Lampshaded''': "Man, it is awful convenient I age like this..."
22	* '''Invoked''': Magical girls must be a certain age to use their power. The Powers that Be, age Alice during transformation exploiting a loophole.
23	* '''Exploited''': Alice deliberately seeks out the Orb of Transformation in hopes that it will make her look old enough [[MundaneUtility to watch an R rated movie at the movie theater]].
24	* '''Defied''': Alice is supposed to age when she transforms, but is cursed by the villain to not do so.
25	* '''Discussed''': "Candy sure is immature for her age, like she's actually a ten-year-old."
26	* '''Conversed''': "Knowing that Candy is really Alice, who's only ten, makes me feel kind of skeevy about the fanservice in this show."
27	* '''Deconstructed''': Alice develops mental problems due to having an older body.
