Question about Aqua

[advent wolf]

In the secret ending Aqua was banished to the Dark Realm and she stays there 12 years not aging.
My question is - WHY didn't Aqua age? Is it an effect of the Dark Realm or something else?

Sorry for posting if this was discussed before...

We don't know at this time. General consensus is that it is indeed probably an effect of the Dark Realm.

Yep. Explains why AtW also hasn't aged since like BbS. I think..

LOL I never really noticed that but yeah...that's the same way he looks 10+ years in KH2....he's the same older man with the yellow beard and hair he hasn't aged. But then why is it only Aqua and AtW...Riku was locked inside, behind the Door to Darkness at the end of KH1...and well he frickin aged...no correction he sprouted (just like Sora)....so how come he aged but the other two haven't? Mickey...well mickey you can't tell so nvm lol
