Misa is a short, slender, attractive young woman with long, straight, golden-blonde hair, most commonly styled with a portion of her hair in pigtails tied with red bands, but occasionally worn loose as well. In the anime, it seems that she was a brunette at one point.[4] In the manga, her eyes are predominantly light brown; however, they have also been shown as green. She also often wears blue contact lenses. In the games, her eyes are usually light brown but have also been seen as pink.
