Is janna that old? Whenever I use the SG Jinx skin, she refers to janna as an old lady. I was listening to SG Ahri's voice lines and she does the same thing and say she's like a senior citizen. I looked in her lore and it doesn't say anything about her age. It just talks about how she learned her magic and grew up in Zaun. so can someone please explain this? Is she like, supposed to be like an immortal spirit that doesn't age or something?

Actually, I think you may have found Janna's old lore. Her new updated lore is a bit different:

Remember though that Star Guardian Janna isn't the same as Runeterra Janna - they don't have to be the same age at all.

I read somewhere that the starguardians are supposed to be aliens from another planet, just hiding in human society to fulfill their duty to protect the earth. Is that true?

I just thought that these quotes are supposed to mock Janna and her position as the "caring senpai", but maybe she isn't just in a higher grade than the others and it is meant as a joke, if they are all aliens it could be that Janna in fact is much older than them, even if she looks like a teenager.

SG Janna is a senior in high school, so 17-18.

The normal Janna is an ancient spirit.

Yup this. SG Jinx is just giving SG Janna some shit as friends and comrades do. My boyfriend was about 4-5 years older than me and I'd always refer to him as an old man when in reality he really is not an old man lol

I get the vibe from the story that as a star guardian she's quite old as in she's from a older star, and has been watchful of the universe for a longer time than many of the other star guardians we've been introduced to. It's why she knows the old story that the others don't. In her human body she's only about 17 or so most likely, but her spirit is likely way older. I always picture this isn't her first team she's been a part of. Looking at her splash art you can see the lights of Lux, Lulu, Jinx, and Poppy in the background almost like they all came into being around the same time and near each other where as Janna already was around possibly waiting for them whether she knew it or not.

SG Janna and Runeterra Janna are separate entities, though they share the same name and personality. SG Janna belonged to a previous group of star guardians before lux, so her spirit probably is lifetimes old, but her human body would be a senior in high school, since it is said in her bio she is in grade 4. Normally star guardians stop serving after their "light burns out" , but Jannas light still burned after the rest of her original groups died out. The first star needed somebody to mentor and watch over lux and her group, but Janna at this point is kinda over being a star guardian. Regardless the first star chose her again to be a star guardian, so its not that Janna does not want to retire, she can't. Thats why she's seems kinda PTSD in the new star guardian story, always staring off into space, blotting out other people, needing a lot of alone time.

If this is an anime. And Star Guardians is an anime... story. Then Janna is totally the older character that may have been around for hundreds of years yet looks young. Silent, mysterious and willing to be an advisor more than leader. Common trope.
