Older Alter Ego/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character transforms into the older version of himself/herself.
 * Straight: Alice transforms into her 16-yr-old self, Candy.
 * Exaggerated: Alice, a month-old baby, can transform into adult buxom beauty Candy.
 * Downplayed: Alice, a twelve-year old, can turn into a thirteen-year old.
 * Justified: Candy is Alice's Magical Girl alter ego, and age changing is part of the shtick that makes no one find out about it.
 * Inverted: Candy can transform into her younger self Alice.
 * Subverted: Alice gains the ability to transform, but her new body turns out to be about the same age as her original one.
 * Double Subverted: The transformation takes a few minutes, and after Alice thinks she's done, her body continues rapidly aging.
 * Parodied: Alice, a twelve-year old, can transform into 90-year-old Candy.
 * Zig Zagged: While Alice's sixteen-year old body looks like that age, she has the body maturity of a twelve-year old.
 * Averted: Alice is just dreaming of the transformation.
 * Alice can transform, but remains the same age.
 * Deconstructed: Alice develops mental problems due to having and older body.
 * 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."

 * Exploited: Alice deliberately seeks out the Orb of Transformation in hopes that it will make her look old enough to get into an R rated movie.
