Ganymede is a tall, adult man with a slight, muscular build and fair skin to him. His hair is dull red that is swept to the right, his hair has a streak of white dye at the front. The left side of his hair is partially shaven and is a dark maroon compared to the right. Ganymede has square-shaped eyes, the pupils shaped like ovals, the irises are a pale red-violet; there's a mole under his left eye.
Ganymede's Citywalker outfit consists of a green, furred hoodie with short pockets on its sleeves. Underneath, he dons a red violet, sleeveless shirt with a reticule symbol on its right; the shirt is tucked in a large belt strapped to dark navy-blue pants. Along with his outfit, he wears red-tinted circular glasses, which hang low on his face. He also wears a pair of knee-high, black boots with stubbed straps attached to them. 
Some accessories Ganymede includes: a stubbed choker accompanied by a triangle-shaped symbol in its center, gloves that both have a dot and 'X' pattern on the cuffs, silver earrings on the top of his ears.

=== Design ===
Ganymede's current design for Glitzing Stars has his hair shaded in (except for the front bang), whilst the shaved part colored darker than the rest. In his Citywalker design, his gloves (excluding the base), pants, straps around the boots, and glasses are shaded as well; the glasses also have a streak of light in between them, however. His Folk Stown design has his undershirt, the tank's heart graphic, belt, the soles and chains on his boots, and gloves shaded in.
== Personality ==
Ganymede is a reserved, grimdark book-loving (enclosed) nerd. With his strong attraction to punk fashion, he's a total contrast to being married to Ophelia, holding a more straightforward attitude to the point of not being keen on hints. But also having a small keeping of plushies.
He poses a quite stern and focus outlook; having a strict sense of showing expression towards others. Although this attitude has diminished overtime, part of this is still can be seen in attitude currently. He is regarded as someone who is aloof not taking on subtle hints, and possible pushover by his relations and artwork with Solaire and Hydrangea.
Being a character of little words, Ganymede often does not intervene in conversations, and described as introverted as he is more productive when indoors. Despite the exterior he tends to give, Ganymede is very fond of those closest to him. On rare occasions, most likely around his friends, he acts rather snarky, sometimes engaging in playful banter or teasing.
Ganymede tends to cater towards others' interests; often joining in Ophelia's cosplays, collecting plushies, and taste in fashion. However, he seems to have a limit on what is deemed acceptable to him; he's displayed his annoyance from Ophelia texting while out or her having a large amount of keychains in their home.
Similarly to Starlette, he is also a fan of reading novels with more saddening topics. His favorite genre of stories are said to be historical fiction, biographies, anatomy, tragedy, and grimdark.
