Height: No canon height, but short. Short enough to be noticeably short next to characters from various points during the Edo period while wearing fairly tall geta, so I'd honestly put him somewhere in the range of like... 5'1" or something
Build: Small-framed in a way that his bulky clothing tends to conceal; a bit of muscle on him, but not much, and very lean.
Voice: Deeper than one would tend to imagine. Quiet, but in a way that catches the ear and somehow resonates. Speaks with a peculiar lilt and oddly-timed pauses, typically for emphasis. Has a markedly eccentric way of speaking even outside of that -- archaic, often metaphorical or going into weird detail about metaphysical stuff, odd points of Insistent Terminology, formal at times without any sign of real concern for social propriety.
Usual hairstyle: His hair is long, slightly wavy, and looks a bit unkempt. He wears a headscarf on top of his head, with his forelocks left out of the scarf and fastened down low on one side. It looks better than it sounds described in words.
Usual outfit: I struggle with this in TFS a bit, because his usual clothing is so weird in such specific, frequently symbolic ways. As a shinki, he probably still prefers Japanese to western clothing, tends towards colors that are bright enough to be gaudy, and finds himself picking a lot of things with mythological or poetic symbolism involved.
Posture: Absolute grace and confidence, in the quietest and most understated of ways. His posture is proper and polite, but there's absolutely no hesitance or self-doubt in it. Occasional grand, theatrical gestures, but only as contextually relevant.
Body language: VERY hard to read, largely because his style of communication is either polite and formal or grand and dramatic (but not ultimately very emotional.) Honestly, he's just sort of generally distant and can come off as a bit cold.
Scars, tattoos, accessories: Peculiar, makeup-like markings in bright red along his nose and around and under his eyes, as well as lavender on his upper lip.
Other: Pale as fuck. Also, his nails, while well-kept, are like... super long.
