Will 7 of 9 age slowly

Cy-Borg? Is that where the name comes from? I can't believe I never realized that.

That's lame.
 
They kind of do and kin of don't

spoiler



in the books the borg are totally gone...Seven ends up loosing ALL of her Borg technology.
Not quite...

(although I haven't read past The Eternal Tide yet, so god knows what's changed)
It turns out her Borg tech was replaced with hugely advanced Caeliar catoms (which Borg tech is a degenerate version of), which are currently emulating human flesh.

Yeah...but her nanoprobes have been replaced by celiar catoms (or whatever they are called) which basically perform the same functions the nanoprobes did. They are basically a biological more powerfull version of the nanoprobes, which:

SPOILER:









...existed to mimic the catoms in the first place when the first borg was created out of a celiar...

The problem is that Seven of nine (24 years old in Scorpion) was much Younger than 29 year old Jeri Ryan (in Scorpion).

Honestly at the time, I mistakenly thought Jeri at the time was perhaps 25 to 27-ish actually, despite the relatively large age gap with her character, and it's hard to believe she's pushing the big 5 0 now. Some adults to me don't seem to significantly age between the age of 18 to 38.
 
I still get carded. It used to irritate me, but the older I get, it helps with the insecurity of aging. When I stop getting carded, I will feel as though I've lost something...

It's VERY common for actors to play younger. Roxann Dawson was 37 in the first season of Voyager playing a character who was supposed to be in her early to mid 20s
 
That's because young people are emotionally/physically unstable and fertile.

You can't trust them to stay EXACTLY the same for seven years.

What about when Seven was integrated with a few other Seven of Nines from collapsed timelines. We saw from Braxton that she would have triple or quadruple memories of her life, and the physical changes would have been expressed as well if the Sevens hadn't been only minutes apart in age...

That's usually the case with children. Typically an older child will be a better actor and the laws of working with them would be more relaxed.
 
The rest of the crew went into stasis for a month.

That's a month she lost against Tom and Harry.

Although if the Borg has an ideal "age" that an immortal Drone must stay within an arms-reach of, it's possible that the Borg wound back Anika's clock when she was re-embraced by the collective in Dark Frontier, which means that she would have gone back to 24 (physical) years old after hanging out on Voyager for 3 years, or at least what ever state was when she met these humans.
