Esdeath was a tall, beautiful and slender woman with long, light blue hair and blue eyes. She wore a General's apparel with long sleeves with buttons on the upper arms, a blue scarf on her neck and high-heeled boots. She also has a tattoo on her chest, which is the sign of her Teigu.

In the anime, Esdeath was shown to have a porcelain white skin color (most likely due to the cold climate of her home village). Along with that, her breasts were exaggeratedly bigger than her manga counterpart.
