Gertwig has sun-bronzed skin that looks like cured leather and a thick mane of unruly ginger curls kept in check by a felt traveler hat adorned with vulture feathers. He moves with a rhythmic, side-to-side waddle that is deceptively fast over rocky terrain. He wears a heavy leather harness over moss-green robes, but his most striking feature is a pair of oversized, polished silver gauntlets that look far too expensive for a guide. He carries a massive, overstuffed backpack topped with a carefully strapped, delicate porcelain tea set that never seems to rattle.
