If its base on her own experiences... She is basically having to do less "stop and think" style of adventures and more "OMG there is a manticore in the way and I have only 5 seconds to think!".

I wouldn't think its entirely 100% her own thought... These adventures are suppose to be random so I imagine she doesn't always have a control over what happens. At the beginning I imagine she started out as this being rather casual, but as she got known to villains and stuff like that, things took a turn for the way they became later on. I wouldn't call it less intelligent, more like more pressurized and more about her getting from point A to B as fast as she can to save the way.

Also, bare in mind as you age, there is a point in your life here your mind will be sharp and at its peak and then after that, it melts away. If she has been doing this for a long time, then she might not even be the same young and sharp adventurer she was when she started. I wouldn't say she is old just "experience".
