(The Outsiders)

Physical Description of Ponyboy

Answer 1

Brief, book-accurate physical description of Ponyboy Curtis (The Outsiders)

- Age/build: 14 years old; smaller and lean for his age, with a boyish, youthful face.
- Hair: light brown, almost reddish in hue; longer than many boys’ hair (typical Greaser length).
- Eyes: greenish-gray.
- Typical dress/style: dresses like a Greaser — jeans and tees (and the long hair common to the group) — but he has a more innocent, bookish look than some of the older Greasers.

Canon quote often used: “I had light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes.”
