The reasoning for Irina jumping to different bodies is unknown. Perhaps Haru was "destroyed" and therefore she needed a new host. She could have gotten a new body then. Or, maybe her Body Swap doesn't halt or slow the aging of her bodies. The old woman's body doesn't bleed so it is likely just a corpse, same with Haru's but neither seem to smell or appear to decay (the old woman is used from at least 473-502, and likely was used even before that).

However, Irina is implied to directly possess Germaine in the same way she possesses her cat, inhabiting it's body. Why doesn't Germaine age for a 103 years? It might be for the same reason Elluka's body didn't decay for over 700 years. They must have some tricks to keep the bodies "fresh" and ageless for a time and then they begin to decay normally. Let's hope the new album explains the origin and details behind their so similar yet so different techniques.
