Template:Ava Willis - Appearance
As a transgender woman, Ava is tall and slightly underweight. She has gery hair and wears contacts. She previoulsy had brown/brunette hair and wore glasses. Her physical appearance changes throughout the series, according to her license, she is 5 ft. 11 in. and her weight is shown to be anywhere from 135 to 200 pounds in different episodes. When standing in the alley in the opening credits in early seasons she is portrayed as the tallest member of her group of friends. She played point guard for her basketball team during high school and still retains some of her athleticism although most of it has been lost due to a back injury, a thigh injury, her gender transition, and age. During high school and before her gender transition, when shown in flashbacks, she has a similar build, no glasses, no breasts, and a pompandour. There have been several episodes that featured Ava with a drastically different hairstyle, often (and humorously) due to Baxter/Bianca's poor hairstyling skills. In one episode, Ava let her hair grow slightly due to being afraid of another haircut from Bianca. In the same episode, she also reveals that she goes for a haircut every two weeks, an example of how uptight she can be. Only two occurances that Ava changed her hairstyle other than having her hair tied back because of someone other than Bianca was because she refused to get a hair cut in the season 2 episode "Ava's Makeover" (in that episode, Ava begins wearing contacts and her hair becomes more naturally layered), and in the season 7 premiere episode "Ten Years to Life" (Ava begins wearing her hair grey).
