The new appearance of those that Return are in accordance with what they subconsciously think physical perfection is or how they see themselves.{{wob ref|5840}} However, this is based on how they view societal standards on beauty and perfection rather than purely on their own standards.{{wob ref|11649}} The old gods look old and the heroic gods look strong, for example.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} A Returned can, with the correct training, learn to change their appearance, such as changing their height, weight or hair color, but only to a reasonable extent.{{wob ref|6808}} A Returned's appearance can react to their emotions similar to the [[Royal Locks]], and they sometimes start reverting to their default appearance while extremely emotional or not paying attention.{{wob ref|7365}} However, common traits include being larger than normal humans, around seven feet in height, and giving off the color-altering aura of the Fifth Heightening.
A Returned is able to suppress their divine Breath, altering their appearance to look like a normal human, losing the Fifth Heightening in the process.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} However, a normal-looking Returned still has traits commonly associated with Returned, such as increased strength and speed.{{wob ref|6808}} They can also be affected by toxins like alcohol, although still not as much as a normal human.{{wob ref|15707}} When a Returned reaches the moment that prompted them to Return, they often remember why they chose to Return and much of their previous life.{{wob ref|7354}}{{book ref|wb|57}}
