Ness' appearance treads that ambiguous line between slightly feminine boy and rather masculine girl. The long eyelashes framing green-blue eyes are the most feminine feature, but the short dark brown hair - often sticking up from having a hand run through it - suggests 'boy.' As they all have to wear the same, shapeless green school robes, clothing isn't much of a clue, and even on the weekends, Ness prefers to don jeans and t-shirts. The McLeod family are generally quite tall, and Ness is no exception.
