Teito is a young boy with brown hair and heavy green eyes. He was blond for a short period of time as a disguise in a Hawkzile race. In his first appearance whilst still part of the Barsburg Army, he dons the basic uniform given to all trainee soldiers consisting of a black jacket with a gold trim, black pants and knee high army boots. Subsequent to his escape from the Barsburg Empire, he takes refuge in the church where he is now seen wearing a white robe with the Church symbol on its back. He also has chains on his hands and feet up to his fight with Ayanami. After the death of Mikage, he wears the mourning black robe which is parted white at the back with a flax trim and a mantle overtop, this is accompanied with black trousers and boots. Teito's attire changes once more when he decides to take the Bishops exam, we now see him in the basic uniform of a Bishop examinee, which consists of trousers and boots under a long white cloak that has a white mantle with black trim over top of it. Another noticeable addition to his appearance is the slave collar that was placed around his neck by Mikage when he was being controlled by Ayanami. This collar is rarely seen now as it is usually covered by the collar of his mantles.
