She has bright orange, hip-length, wavy hair streaked with hues of peach parted in the middle, offset by her large, pale sky blue eyes. Her makeup typically consists of shimmery orange eyeshadow mixed with brown and pink, winged black eyeliner, glittery highlight, and bold coral lipstick.  Poppy is also noted to enjoy fashions that have "hip hop vibes" and a mix of "glam and streetwear."

In the animated series, Poppy's lipstick appears to be redder.

### Outfits

Poppy's signature outfit consists of an orange vinyl bustier top worn over a pale orange slip dress adorned with a shimmery, sheer overlay. Over the outfit, she wears a cropped orange puffer jacket. To fit with her butterfly motif, she keeps one side of her hair partially pinned back with hair clips styled to look like monarch butterflies and knee-high statement boots decorated with an orange monarch butterfly pattern and the phrase, "FOR FLYING" written on the side.

Poppy's secondary outfit consists of a cropped, pale orange hoodie decorated with a rainbow underlining the word "RAINBOW" in shimmery gold letters across the chest. The hoodie also has white stripes containing the word "RAINBOW," repeating running down her arms. She also wears an orange vinyl miniskirt with floor-length cross-lacing running down the right side. Her shoes are orange strapped heels with a molded monarch butterfly design on the back, accessorized with shiny gold ankle socks.

In an alternate outfit, Poppy wears a Tangerine hoodie with the word "RAINBOW" repeating the whole hoodie, she also wears a shiny metalic orange pencil skirt with a gold zipper and a pale orange bowline. and for her footwear she wears orange strapped heels with a molded monarch butterfly design on the back, accessorized with shiny gold ankle socks like her secondary outfit.

Poppy's runaway outfit consists of an orange butterfly slip dress with alive butterflies pulling it in, and for the second version of the dress the butterflies let go and the dress becomes a long orange butterfly train dress. her shoes consists of gold heels circling her ankle with orange butterfly accessories matching her dress.

### Personality.

Poppy is defined by her outgoing and laid-back personality. She's frequently described as a "social butterfly" who can get along with anyone and fit into just about any social group with ease. Her talent for music engineering works in her favor in that aspect, as she's known to be the go-to DJ at Rainbow High for parties and major events. She values her best friends above all else, though- especially Sunny Madison and Skyler Bradshaw, as they make her feel right at home.

Poppy seems to be among the most levelheaded and calm among all the main characters but can easily become distracted and absorbed in her work. She takes her craft very seriously and requires total concentration to achieve the perfect track.

## Relationships

### Friends

Poppy is closest with her roommates, Sunny and Skyler. She and Skyler help cheer Sunny up, and in return Sunny designs characters inspired by them for her show "Hi Hi Kawaii". After the two of them, she seems to be closest with Jade Hunter. Although they have largely contrasting personalities, Poppy seems to be comfortable enough around Jade to joke around with her, and Jade lends Poppy her shirt. Poppy is on friendly terms with Ruby and Violet as well. Poppy was upset when Bella was expelled, but was one of the first to warm up to Amaya as her replacement.
