My theory is that as long as they were Sirens, they didn’t age. For the thousand years or so that they were trapped in the human world, they used their magic to sustain the immortality being a Siren gave them. Now that the gems are gone, they’re mortal. They pick up flaws, age, hunger and thirst for actual food and water, and might possibly die if they can’t adapt.
Alternatively, the human world could be trapped in an endless loop of a single year, and that’s why Sunset Shimmer was able to stay enrolled long enough to win Prom Princess three times (it would have been 4 if not for Twilight) despite the fact she should have been at least four or five years older than Twilight (for them to have attained the same unique title at the same highly exclusive school and never met).

Some attribute their post-pubescent physiology to the fact that they are actually in that age range, and they experienced a similar event as in Half-Life 2: Gordon and Alyx emerge from a teleporter one week after going through it. Therefore, the same occured to the sirens, multiplied by a millenium, give or take a century. :j

thus ensures their freedom…unless they’re actual decepticons (kill ’em all) or dinobots (freed then enslaved in the name of freedom, then freed again after a bloodbath)

And it would make more sense when Aria said “I wish we’d never been banished” at the beginning of the movie. After a thousand years, I doubt Adagio would have let her continue to complain, or needed to explain about the magic. And them arriving not too long ago would explain Applejack’s question “Why are they only showing up now?”
They don’t tell you. Either they arrived a thousand years ago when they were banished or some time travel happened. Perhaps the origin comic will end with their banishment and show us what time period they ended up in. My money is that they are reasonably aged, don’t really get the thousand year vibe from them.
“And remember to follow the instructions,
or you’ll be put to sleep”I suppose I can accept that she’s never heard it said with the same amount of longing and passion as herself.
I guess in the squealy pitch unique to Sonata?

I assume they age differently like how some turtles can live over 150 years so they mature at a different rate compared to humans

That is a point of confusion for many, yes.
I know I’m a bit late here (missed this part, found the link from page 2).
I think we’re missing something in the Rainbow Rocks movie.
When Twilight looks up about the Sirens in her books, she says they were banished a thousand years ago by Starswirl.
However, at the end of the film when she picks up the broken crystal shard, she says “Without these, they’re just ordinary teenage girls.”
They wouldn’t be teenaged if they were over a thousand years old would they? So It’s a pretty safe bet that they hadn’t been in that universe long.
(Or am I just finding a glaring plot hole in the film here?).
WELL THEN! You sure decided to take this to a dark place today didn’t ya?
Officially, she doesn’t have one.
My personal theory is that HumanSunset died as a little girl and her parents adopted EquestriaSunset when she arrived.
On the other side of the world, for all we know.
I don’t know just so they can make the pun that Spike’s love for Rarity is “Puppy love”
though that brings to question why the dragons become dogs…

It’s all selective. and continuity-based

Also the Diamond dogs had human forms, and they had unbelievale ug
they’re still sentient beings.
Supposedly how long where they in the human world again?
identical descendant scenario?
