I have to admit I am very curious as to what her age trait.
She was born in early M24. Slaanesh wasn't even born until M30.
She's literally older than two Gods.
In fact I'd even say that she's the oldest human in the galaxy except for the Perpetuals.

Not by 10,000 years.
There's an ever growing smaller pool of Astartes who hold that distinction, but that's about it,

I mean, with someone that involved in Warp shit the idea of her experiencing time linearly seems to be a major assumption. Plus I imagine for Transcendents the phrase "it's not the age, it's the mileage" is even more relevant—a decade or a millennium passing doesn't matter nearly as much as any deeds that are specifically impressive for a Transcendent.

I don't think it's much of an assumption at all. She's not some god or warp entity, she's a human of the Materium. The only non-linear time experience we've seen her have was her adventure in the Time-Twisted Plains, where she met Vlad. It's also been explicitly stated that she rarely ever uses time powers, which is evidence against the idea that non-linear time is anything even in the vicinity of normal for her. Conversely, there is no evidence to suggest she experiences time non-linearly.

Pokes head in.
While she does perceive time linearly as far as I am aware, she is more than a little bit off from a normal human on time due to well...having all the time she needs.
In the sense that she's almost always had time so she'll often take her time at least when travelling most of the time she's fine...and this has used the word time far too much.
Anyway, hoepfully I will be able to finish my work today and then I'll go through it and fix my spelling and grammar @Addio.

Your fault for giving them the chance to weigh in.
She might be one of the Great Powers, so old that she's forgotten she was ever human or even anything else.

Oh yeah, she certainly appears to experience time a bit weirdly, in that she doesn't really feel the years go by as much as most would, but not non-linearly.

Huh? From what I understand Helheim fell in the very end of DAoT considering all the cutting-edge tech they had, and she was just a child then, and the birth of Slaanesh started Age of Strife soon (well "soon" here could be decades, but not millenia) after.
And she didn't seem millenia old during the Slaanesh's birth the omake either, it was only shortly after she left siren city.

According to @Durin Helheim fell early in the Iron War (M24) the age of strife/End of the Third Dark Age of technology started in M25, Slaanesh is born in M30 Great Crusade starts in M31.
Timeline - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
My guess for why it has cutting edge stuff was that it was the cutting edge, research lab after all working on level 25 tech which was rare to the DAoT. However, everywhere else was a bit less advanced mostly level 22 which was the average for the DAoT and with the Iron war progress stopped very quickly especially seeing how fast the war came to an end by 40K standards. Then age of strife and we know how that went.
It also wasn't early after she left the city, she spent a very long time wondering around our area before finally going to the spine and then spent a long time wondering up northwards (the fact that you couldn't tell how much time was passing was intentional on my part, she didn't know how much time was passing either)
She could have reached the polls fairly quickly, but well combination of her exploring every nook and cranny she could find learning all the powers she could and just generally taking her time meant that she spent thousands of years just wondering.
+ She spent a rather long time with the Sirens as well.

The truly scary thing is?
Bjorn was a Transcendant when he had the planet he was on annihilated from under him. What that means is, that despite the fact the goddamn planet he was standing on was completely annihilated... There's an actual, noticeable chance that did not actually kill him.
Or in other words... We still might get him on our team. Admittedly, there's a bunch of other places he might go if he did survive but... Yeah.
And @Durin May I suggest for the name of Marceline's Transcedant Trait 'The Wanderer of Ages'? Or maybe the Ageless Wanderer... Well, something that ties the fact that's she's been walking around Avernus, never really settling down for so long, that multiple galactically significant Ages have happened, let alone events!

Most likely with the returned Leman Russ.
Though whether or not he can/should punch him given that wounds he deals won't heal is a very good question.
Either way nobody will know until someone goes through the asteroid field that was Garm and finds out.

Who knows
.If she does I'd expect the exalted to be summoned ASAP, but well...most people have not brought true death to exalted greater demons in 1v1 fights.

Steven Kings 'Dark Tower' reference?
But in what skill or stat would the trait be?

Yeah.
Though as cool as that would be I find that incredibly unlikely...I mean sure the omake was big, but I some how think asking for a transcendent to join up as a reward would be a bit much.
I'll be satisfied if she helps a bit in the battle and we get her character sheet.
If that was a trait then it sounds like it should be an age trait.
Though what kind of age trait you give to someone who might be older than Malcador (he claims to have been born in M24.300 and she was born in early M24) I dunno.
That being said I have come up with an idea for what her Avernite trait (cause you know she'd probably get one) should be.
Helheim Primordial.
