Little is known of Jordis's appearance. Like most Southerners, Jordis wears a mask over her face at all times, signaling her expressions and moods with gestures of her hands.{{book ref|mb6|30}} As one of the Malwish, she likely changes her mask periodically depending on her profession or mood.{{book ref|mb6|22}} She is much shorter than Wax, but can still appear to tower over others when she is enraged.{{book ref|mb6|30}} Jordis also has harsh eyes, that some think makermake her look like a soldier or a killer.{{book ref|mb6|31}} She is also tough, able to withstand frostbitten toes{{book ref|mb6|29}} and still not wear a warmth medallion so she can speak with Wax.{{book ref|mb6|30}}
 
Jordis is a confident and strong-willed woman, willing to demand her due and speak her mind even when faced with strong opposition.{{book ref|mb6|30}} Jordis is also a canny negotiator. When arguing with Wax about ownership of the Bands and the salvaged airship, she refuses to back down until she has secured a fair deal for her and her crew. While other Southerners are intimidated by his nature as Metalborn, she refuses to let him have their only method of returning home. Jordis instead threatens war in an attempt to bring her people home. She is no fool though, and understands not to push too far when she is already getting a good deal.{{book ref|mb6|31}} Even still, Jordis may have something of a temper; she is furious that they will return home without the Bands or their original ship.{{book ref|mb6|30}} She keeps this tightly controlled though, even though sometimes she appears on the edge of raging and shouting.
