Like [[raptoran]]s or [[aarakocra]], kyrie resemble an amalgamation of human and hawk. Their basic body-structure is humanoid; an upright biped with a visibly mammalian torso, two arm-appendages (which combine the functions of wings and hands, with claw-like nails on otherwise human hands), two digitigrade legs resembling those of a scaled-up hawk, and a human's head. Feathers cover their scalp, torso, thighs and arms - especially the arms, which double as wings after all. They are a tall and slender people, with a wiry frame to aid them in flying. Their features consist of a small nose, thin lips, and tiny eyes, usually light blue or yellow. The plumage of a kyrie ranges from dark brown with golden highlights to stark white with black tips. Their usual life expectancy is 120 years, reaching maturity at the age of 16.

Kyrie act and move very much like birds do, with quick yet jerky movements, their heads turning toward the direction of sounds, and cocked to the side when they are confused. Their human traits surface just enough to dispel any thought that they are merely large, ungainly birds, and when they are encountered at close range the expressions and subtle nuances of their faces make this clear. In flight, kyrie are graceful and almost poetic. When on land, they are awkward and ungainly.
