She is about fifty years old.{{book ref|mb2|13}} Her face is rectangular,{{book ref|mb2|13}} with square features.{{book ref|mb2|20}} Her eyes are described as beautiful, and her graying auburn hair is straight,{{book ref|mb2|23}} waist-length, and sometimes braided.{{book ref|mb2|10}} Her earlobes are elongated by her many earrings, which alternate in color.{{book ref|mb2|41}} Tindwyl wears the colorful robes of the Terris people{{book ref|mb2|16}}, or a colorful skirt and blouse{{book ref|mb2|20}}, as well as some rings made of Feruchemical metals.{{book ref|mb2|35}} She is always dressed neatly, with perfect posture,{{book ref|mb2|20}} making her always appear put-together.{{book ref|mb2|23}}
 
Tindwyl is highly knowledgeable and intelligent. Like all Keepers, she has a love of learning.{{book ref|mb2|37}} Her area of focus is the biographies of great men of the past — generals, kings, and emperors, most of whom have been forgotten under the [[Lord Ruler]]'s reign.{{book ref|mb2|14}} When she is absorbed in a task, she is single-minded in her dedication towards it, staying awake for over a week while she and Sazed study the [[Kwaan's inscription|rubbing]] he made at the [[Conventical of Seran]].{{book ref|mb2|45}}
She is also very perceptive and quick to see the truth of people, and adept at giving them what they need — in tutoring Elend, she is firm and harsh; with Vin she is kind and tries to help her see and accept herself.{{book ref|mb2|25}} Due to her perceptiveness, while studying the rubbing she is also able to pick out the inconsistency in [[Kwaan]]’s narrative, which has been tampered with by [[Ruin]].{{book ref|mb2|41}} Her understanding of people also helps her to achieve things through indirect means. She masterfully gets Elend to do things and admit things to her on more than one occasion, such as getting him to accept being referred to by an honorific, and getting him to express the sincerity of his love for Vin.{{book ref|mb2|20}}
 
Tindwyl sees religion as something of scholarly value and of benefit to society, but is not herself a believer. She is also not fond of prophecies and other forms of foretelling, or of superstition.{{book ref|mb2|45}}
