[UNDERWORLD] If pureblood vampires can get pregnant (like Amelia did) its safe to assume vampires in the underworld series age, right?

r/

But if thats the case and Amelia was older than Thomas (bc she is an Elder) why does she looks much younger than Thomas? Thomas is said to be a pureblood vampire so he was not turned.

    IIRC Amelia has a mention somewhere that she did the, "Bathes in blood" trick to enhance her beauty. Might have something to do with it.

    "Aging" as in gong from a baby to an adult is very different from "aging" as in going from a young lady to an old lady. Just because they’re doing one doesn’t mean they’ll do the other.

    You’re wrong, that’s not a safe assumption.

    Aging is the process of DNA degradation as cells die and replace themselves. Probably the whole thing that makes the Corvinus line significant is that they don’t experience that degradation. Pregnancy doesn’t change that.

    they "mature" they don’t age in the sense that they can experience senescence. for example jelly fish go from their larval form to their mature form but don’t ever experience any symptoms of old age once mature. usually any appearance of being "old" among vampires has to do with experiencing great stress like going into hibernation for decades or taking a great deal of damage and needing to heal it but usually that will clear up in a few decades with proper blood intake.
