Although Ponyboy doesn't consider himself handsome like
his brother, Sodapop, he must share some of the same physical characteristics since
Cherry tells him at the drive-in that
"Man, your brother is one doll. I might have
guessed you were brothers--you look
alike."
Pony is fourteen
years old and has long, light-brown hair--"almost red"--in which he takes great pride;
like all greasers, his hair is an important part of his physical appearance. His hair is
"squared-off in the back," and he wears less hair oil than most of his friends. He has
greenish-grey eyes, which he doesn't like since "I hate most guys that have green eyes."
He is fairly tall, taller than Johnny but not as tall as his older brothers. He
generally wears blue jeans and a leather jacket and smokes too many cigarettes. He is
slim and wiry, with "a pretty good build," and is on the track team in high school.
According to Darry, he fights "real good for a kid your size." He has a scar on his
forefinger from when he had a cigarette-burning contest with Curly Shepard but, for the
most part, lacks the physical scars that many of his other friends
have.
