She has [[short hair|short]] [[black hair]] ([[blue hair|blue]] highlighted in the anime) and [[brown eyes]]. At the beginning of the series she had long hair, but after it was cut off during a fight between Ryoga and Ranma, she kept it short for the rest of the series. 

She usually wears the [[Fuurinkan High School uniform|girls' uniform]] for Fuurinkan High School, but has a wide variety of outfits. For training or anticipated combat, Akane wears a light yellow gi and is [[barefoot]].

Despite her popularity among the opposite sex, Akane doesn't find herself attractive. Ranma's insults enforce this view. This makes her Obliviously Beautiful. Her rivals tend to hammer Akane's insecurities about herself to insult her, especially because they know that she's a Worthy Opponent for them.
