Aerith stands at roughly, 5'2, which is rather short, and has an almost sprite-like or some would say pixie-like appearance, given that she is so slight of frame. She has long light brown hair that reaches roughly to her waist, which is always worn back in a long braid, tied off at the top with her signature pink bow, given to her by Zack Fair. Her face is framed by bangs that are commonly referred to as antennae bangs, which arch up for an inch or more then fall back down to frame either side of her face, down to around her chin.Her eyes are large and a startling shade of bright green, above a small curved nose, and a small full set of lips that are almost always turned up in a smile. Around her neck she wears a small black string, although the significance of this is unknown. For clothing she commonly wears a pink spaghetti-strap dress, with eight white buttons down the font that end just below her knees, while the dress itself ends around her ankles. Over the dress she wears a deep red denim bolero jacket; a half-jacket of sorts, with four buttons down the front. On her arms, she has what look to be silver or steel arm bands at the end of the short sleeves of her jacket, as well as gold or brass gauntlets around her wrists, which are compiled of three sections, growing wider away from her wrist in each section. For shoes, she wears sturdy brown boots, that rise just above her ankles and have straps across the top, presumably to hold them on her feet better.
