As a tanuki-like demi-human, Raphtalia has several tanuki-like features that distinguish her from regular humans. Instead of human ears, Raphtalia has a pair of tanuki ears on the top of her head that occasionally twitch when experiencing some kind of sensory stimulation. She also has a fluffy tanuki tail protruding out of her backside, which often makes motions based on Raphtalia's emotional state, such as when her tail stands on its own, which conveys anger. She has tea-red eyes.
