It could, but people could also see it as an example of the 3000 year old loli trope. So it may not be a good example.

She's a 1000 year old adult. At no point is she ever portrayed as anything remotely childlike.

It honestly fucking sucks that just because this trope exists elsewhere, a show like Frieren can't tell a serious story about what it's like to outlive everyone around you without being mistaken for this trope.
