Coral Growth+Siren Aging

Description

I know not many people are into sirens or developing them as much anymore, so hardly anyone's gonna care about a new 101, but I wanted to make this anyway. :'D THIS ALSO DOUBLES AS A CORAL AGE CHART IN GENERAL TOO, SO...NOTHING'S WASTED.

Anyway, here's the 101 scoop on this. Siren aging is difficult to personalize for you from here, because it really does depend on how active they are at hunting humans and consuming their blood. 

ALL SIRENS AGE NORMALLY LIKE A HUMAN WOULD UNTIL AROUND ~21, THOUGH. After that, goes as fast or as slow as much the siren hunts or doesn't hunt. However, even just naturally, sirens do not age in appearance as fast as humans do, even if they're someone who doesn't hunt a lot. (This little tidbit coming up right here is a bit different and more thought-out from my first headcanon on this, so to those who I might have told they could age and look like a crone after a while, that's not true anymore. SORRY heheh. :'D It wouldn't even make as much sense if they did, given what their powers are, even with the disfigurements they suffer from being cast of of the demon realm.) A siren can live up to 150 without hunting, but still only appear in their 40's-50's, even if they barely hunt. Pure-blooded sirens tend to stop looking much different past the mid-40's to early 50's-appearance at the maximum, even if they're about to die of 'old-age'. This is because the nature of the type of race they are, they're meant to be attractive and alluring. With the oldest they look, they just appear as a well-seasoned, but still decently attractive to the slightly older population, or for those who find older men/women attractive. 
However, of course, if the siren is a mixed breed with a human, they'll age closer alongside how a human does, depending on the genes they got from each parent of each race. If they mix with a mermaid, they could age a ways similar to mermaids, but again, it depends on the genes they got from each parent from each race. It's all luck of the draw, there's no set statistic on any of this, just use your judgement for those tho have a hybrid siren with a human or mermaid.

Coral here is an example of one who hunted a LOT when she was younger, so unless something actually happens to her that could end her life, she'll age verrrry slowly, even though she stops hunting nearly as much when she reaches her mid-20's. She could easily reach 300+ if life lets her just age. That's why at 75, she still looks extremely young.
However, if another siren is not as active as Coral was at hunting, by 75 they would look older than Coral does at her 75 year mark.

GUYS. THIS PART IS SUPER IMPORTANT, SO READ IT, YO! If a siren didn't hunt while younger and now (for example) looks about 30, even if they suddenly started hunting a TON, they'll only still look 30. DRINKING BLOOD DOES NOT UNDO THE AGING A SIREN HAS ALREADY ACQUIRED. All it does is SLOW THE ACCELERATION of aging! IT CANNOT REVERSE HOW OLD THEY ALREADY APPEAR TO BE.

ALSO REMEMBER. Current sirens are NOT let in on the secret that blood hunting is what determines their age. So If you have a siren, don't make them know automatically that they know they gotta hunt in order to stay looking young, that's just not a fact that's well-known past the original group of sirens.
:'''D Of course the theory is out there, but it's not something that many have figured out in general. Heck, the only siren I own that knows for sure is Anthea, the Syranium Queen, and those who might be left from the very first generation of Siren. No one else in my batch knows for sure about it, but I have a few others who might speculate it at best, but don't know for sure at all.

But yeah, aaaanyway, that's my little thing on it. I know the siren fad is all but dead and "who cares" and whatever, but if any of you are still into creating/developing your sirens and/or just have questions on this, please feel free to ask any time in a note, of course! >v<//
