Do 1000+ year old characters that look young count?
I mean, I don't remember watching an anime that has a character like that, but IDK some people are really weird about that.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
I don't care how old the character is canonically. If they look and act like a child, they should be treated as one. Simple as that.
I don't really remember any examples of hundreds year old loli vampires that actually act like kids. Shinobu certainly isn't one. I didn't include anything like this because OP specifically asks for adult appearances though.
I can't argue this point or agree with it. I honestly haven't read or watched enough media with characters like this because it's not my thing.
I just added that because it fit the earlier duck metaphor. And I'm willing to bet money there are actual characters like that as well.
