General Appearance: Average height, lean build; black hair, mostly bald aside from roached topknot/tail/braid; two upright feathers atop his head are actually part of his anatomy, substituting for rabbit ears and independently moving around like such; dark brown eyes that can glow bright blue when piqued or expending power; earrings, traditional deerskin clothing and moccasins, various beads and necklaces with a rabbit motif; in his Michibou form, he glows blue and his eyes turn black like the void
