I think there’s a weird things the writers did.

Alice obviously aged normally because Hook aged with her. Alice aged 17 years and Ella was already at least 14 to 16 when Alice was born.

Unless Wishpeople age superfast, we don’t know. But we don’t have any evidence that they do.

Alice went from baby to 17, Tremaine went from young woman to middle aged woman. So, factor in that and there’s no way we can sit here and think that Tremaine became an older woman, Hook became and older man, but somehow Alice aged fast, and Ella and Drizella aged slow.

Let’s give Rapunzel and random age. Let’s say Rapunzel was 16 to 18 and then had children. Around the time Ana was 14. Rapunzel would be 30 to 32. Add 17 years. Tremaine would be 47 to 49 in the flashback, in her mid to late fifties in the present. That’s not farfetched. Maybe we could debate that Victoria is late forties but you can see that the math still works out, just adjusting the ages down a bit. (Since we actually don’t know when Rapunzel began to have children.

Not to prolong this post, but also: if Alice aged quicker then she’d be definitely outage Robin. They meet and are both 18. It does look like they are both the same age in the present, unless using 1.5x growth for Alice: Robin aged to 25 and Alice to 29. That doesn’t seem to be the case unless we now say: Both Robin and Alice age faster...but that isn’t true unless we include Lucy who did age 8 years. So, now, we have to say Alice, Robin, and Lucy aged faster....you can see where I’m going...
