Ari is typically depicted with wide arms, and peach skin. They bear a strong resemblance to Alex, with a similar tunic (in this case reddish yellow), and long brown braided hair hanging down their right shoulder, as opposed to long red hair hanging down their left shoulder. Their pupils are black with white eyes, and a noticeable blush, whereas their pants are dark turquoise, their belt is brown, and their shoes are gray.

In the character creator, Ari has approximately five unique items.
